"It's okay, Howie, you can start screaming."

Sen. Ted Kennedy's brother-in-law is the mystery witness who raised $100,000 for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and then went undercover and wore a wire to help the feds nab one of her top moneymen on charges of fund-raising-fraud, The Post has learned.
The witness, Ray Reggie, 43, has a sister, Victoria, who married Kennedy in 1992, and prosecutors say Reggie secretly recorded "incriminating" statements made by David Rosen, a top Clinton fund-raiser.
Reggie was close enough to Bill and Hillary Clinton to sleep over at the White House in 2000 and stay up chatting with the first couple into the wee hours.
Sources tell The Post that he is the "cooperating witness" — described but not named in recent court papers — and that he is likely to testify at Rosen's May 3 trial as part of a plea deal struck with federal prosecutors.
The well-connected Reggie stayed undercover for nearly 21/2 years, helping the feds on multiple probes, and was still wearing a wire and making secret tapes as recently as last December, federal documents show.
Reggie hobnobbed at the very top Democratic levels. A month after he'd raised $100,000 for Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign in 2000, Bill Clinton invited him to a state dinner for the king of Morocco — and a sleepover at the White House.
Reggie told The Times-Picayune of New Orleans that he and his wife later got a post-midnight knock on their bedroom door. The Clintons had come to chat.
Yesterday, Reggie, a Democratic campaign consultant who worked for both Clintons and for Al Gore, pleaded guilty in New Orleans to unrelated multimillion-dollar bank-fraud charges.

Wanna bet that in a few days we'll hear the following.."The DoJ has been conducting this investigation for several years. That means that it was begun by.....(gasp) John Ashcroft..
Yeah----that marriage was going nowhere---when you marry strictly for sex, that's what happens (/sarcasm).
Tonken's book was full of gossipy tidbits---but he's such a self-promoter, one has to wonder how much of it is true.
Actually, they're on the outs because Ted prefers the missionary position...TOT..Ted on Top..no way she puts up with that load..

Ronnie saw it, too, on the pillow next to hers.
Not bad at all! The image makes a great emetic, too! ;)
You have a nice, but deadly, way of skewering someone..glad we're on the same side..
Enough..stop it...(G)
Also negates the Ollie North ploy...'I won't testify without immunity'... 'OK you get immunity'....'OK I invoke the 5th amendment'
Mornin' Doug..in case you missed this...a lovely thing to wake up to, eh?
Hee hee. Wouldn't you have just loved to be a fly on the wall when the Toons found out? 'Spose they've called Bruce Lindsay yet?
>>>How do we know the gov't insisted on heavy jail time? Did I miss something in the article? Thanks.
