PETER PAUL AND HILLARY: No. 1 – Peter Paul to Make Big Announcement on Hannity Show (Update, #92)

Note: this is the first in a series of stories regarding the events surrounding the business relationship of entrepreneur Peter Paul, William Jefferson Clinton, and Hillary Rodham Clinton. It is a story that Hillary does not want you to know.

Entrepreneur Peter Paul spent almost two million dollars of his own money in 2000 for a gala Hollywood farewell to Bill Clinton and fundraiser for Hillary Clinton. It was the largest fundraiser for her senate campaign. Paul will be appearing today on the Sean Hannity Show in his first live appearance since he became Senator Clinton’s worst whistle blowing nightmare in 2001.

For over four years, Hillary has gotten away with the biggest campaign finance fraud in U.S. history. Until Hillary, no U.S. Senator’s campaign finance director has ever been indicted for election fraud. A four-count indictment against David Rosen was unsealed in Federal Court in Los Angeles in January. He faces up to 15 years in jail for lying about Paul’s contributions in reports to the Federal Election Commission and is scheduled to go on trial in Los Angeles later this month. There are witnesses, documents, and conversations obtained by Ted Kennedy's brother-in-law, Ray Reggie, while he was wearing an FBI wire.

You do not want to miss the show. Paul will have a big announcement regarding a new initiative to hold Hillary accountable through his landmark civil law suit against the Clintons for fraud and extortion.

Those who have followed the saga of the Clintons have observed that it always seems as if the Clintons lead a charmed life and manage to stay one step ahead of the law. That dynamic, however, may be about to change.

Paul has been hammered by both the Clinton spin machine and their mainstream media lapdogs who love all things Clinton. It is finally time to hear his side of the story. You will be hearing it, and you may find it compelling.

James McDougal, a former business partner of the Clintons, once described them as “tornadoes that sweep through people’s lives and leave nothing but chaos in their wake.” McDougal, who posed a danger to the Clintons as the star witness in their Whitewater business dealings, died in a prison cell after he was denied the heart medication he needed to remain alive.

In this series of reports on FreeRepublic.com, you will hear chilling accounts of what happened to Paul and his family. There are often very serious consequences for those who might stand in the way of the Clintons.

We presume that Ann Lewis, David Kendall, the lovely and gracious Helen Thomas, and the rest of the usual suspects will be tuning in to the show and listening with keen interest. Perhaps even Hillary might be curious enough to listen if she is not too busy reading Paul’s FBI file, stiffing a waitress, giving a pro partial birth abortion speech, kissing Yasser Arafat's widow, checking on her cattle futures, or calling someone of Jewish heritage an expletive. She is a very busy woman.

Hillary, it might be a good idea to pay attention. Come to FreeRepublic and choose a clever screen name. Perhaps "unindicted co-conspirator." We would find that one mildly amusing.

Hillary Clinton, Peter Paul is prepared to carry on a fight with you as no one has yet fought you and your loving husband. Let's get ready to RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLE!

In “Ratheresque” fashion, I want to sign off after each of these episodes with a one-word farewell. Dan used “courage.” Although he doesn’t have a copyright on the word, I don’t want to plagiarize it. Instead, I will use the Latin “virtus.” I hope that is okay with you, Dan, and also hope you are enjoying your semi-retirement, compliments of the FReepers.

I have already left a message on Ray Hernandez's machine. Why can't these people try to do something without bias? I write partisan stuff, but I make it clear what I am doing. I don't purport to be a journalist writing something down the middle.

Let's start with this, Mr. Hernandez. The USJF is not an anti-Clinton group. They have worked on First Amendment and other issues. They have fought in favor of the Pledge of Allegiance. Hernandez's editor needs to apologize for the headline. I will have more to say about this article in another episode of PETER PAUL AND HILLARY.

Anti-Clinton Group Joins With Former Clinton Donor NY Times ^ | May 3, 2005 | RAYMOND HERNANDEZ

WASHINGTON, May 2 - The man whose claims are behind the recent criminal indictment of Hillary Rodham Clinton's former fund-raising director is collaborating with a conservative group in California on a project to publicize potentially damaging information about the Clintons.

The man, Peter Paul, has enlisted the support of the United States Justice Foundation, a conservative legal advocacy group, to start the Hillary Clinton Accountability Project, a venture meant to focus public attention on a 2000 fund-raiser for Mrs. Clinton that is at the center of the federal government's criminal case.

Once dismissed as yet another anti-Clinton gadfly, Mr. Paul has suddenly become a major source of problems for the Clintons and their political associates.

A well-connected figure with a criminal history that dates back to the 1970's, Mr. Paul says he organized the star-studded fund-raiser for Mrs. Clinton in 2000 to win Mr. Clinton's support on a business venture he was undertaking. But when his relationship with the Clintons soured after the event, he turned on them.

He has accused the Clinton campaign in a civil suit of falsely reporting that the August 2000 gala cost far less than the nearly $2 million he claims to have spent to organize the event. This January, federal authorities produced an indictment charging that David Rosen, the finance director of Mrs. Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign, had underreported the cost of the affair.

Responding to Mr. Paul's latest endeavor, David E. Kendall, a lawyer for the Clintons, called Mr. Paul's character into question. "Peter Paul is a man with an impressive record of felony convictions, currently in federal custody," he said. "Most of his civil suit has already been dismissed and the remainder has no merit."

The anti-Clinton project that is being undertaken by Mr. Paul and his conservative allies in California will make use of documents and other materials that Mr. Paul says stem from his role producing the 2000 event, including bank statements, canceled checks and film of him with the Clintons.

Gary Kreep, the executive director for the justice foundation, said it had established a Web site, www.hillcap.org, that would provide updated information concerning the criminal case against Mr. Rosen, as well as updated information about a civil suit that Mr. Paul has filed against the Clintons. (The site was still under construction on Monday.) He said the foundation planned to use its existing direct-mail operation to both raise money and disseminate information about those cases.

Mr. Kreep also said the foundation planned to cover the legal costs from the civil suit, in which Mr. Paul claims he gave close to $2 million in services and donations to Mrs. Clinton's Senate campaign based on promises that Mr. Clinton would join an Internet venture of his. Mr. Paul claims these promises were never fulfilled.

"We want to get to the truth of all this and make sure the public knows about it," Mr. Kreep said.

In a separate interview, Mr. Paul went even further, predicting that the case could thwart any political aspirations that Mrs. Clinton has beyond New York. "This fund-raiser will ultimately be viewed as her Chappaquiddick and cost her the presidency," he said. "I've already got her campaign finance director indicted."

The timing of all this is troublesome for Mrs. Clinton, the junior senator from New York, who is up for re-election next year. While Mrs. Clinton is apparently not a subject of the investigation, questions about the 2000 fund-raiser have given her political enemies plenty of ammunition.

In fact, Judicial Watch, a conservative legal group that repeatedly sued the Clintons during their White House years, initially championed Mr. Paul's case. But a few months ago, Judicial Watch abruptly severed ties with Mr. Paul, who, in turn, accused the group of merely using his case to raise millions of dollars from people who dislike the former president and first lady.

The attention being given to Mr. Paul's charges underscore the growing concerns within the Clinton camp that Mrs. Clinton will be a primary target of national Republicans in 2006, despite her overwhelming popularity among voters in New York.

Mrs. Clinton's advisers have good reason to harbor such concerns. Republicans in New York and elsewhere around the country are warning their supporters that Mrs. Clinton will be in a position to run for the presidency in 2008 if she is not defeated in New York next year.

But that said, Republicans are having trouble recruiting top-tier candidates like Rudolph W. Giuliani or George E Pataki to run against her. Instead, the list of possible challengers being mentioned include Edward F. Cox, a lawyer who is the son-in-law of Richard M. Nixon, and Dr. Antonia C. Novello, New York's state health commissioner, who was previously United States surgeon general.
