Group Urges Ethics Probe of Sen. Clinton Monday, May 09, 2005 WASHINGTON — A self-described "public interest group that fights government corruption" has filed an ethics complaint with a Senate panel, asking it to investigate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (search) for her role in an alleged attempt to defraud the Federal Election Commission (search) and the U.S. Senate. Judicial Watch (search) has a history of monitoring the New York senator and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and its latest allegation is that Clinton is responsible for omitting from her fund-raising report to the FEC a $1.9 million contribution that funded an August 2000 fund-raiser for her Senate campaign called "Hollywood Tribute to William Jefferson Clinton."

Judicial Watch wants some money.
When Arkancide is investigated then I`ll be happy.
I made the mistake of donating to them when the were investigating the "corruption of Clinton" I think they are blow-hards.
Peter and JW had a falling out.
Aw geez, the Klayman Kiss of Death.
How many FReepers enjoyed seeing their donations go after the guys on our side? A huge amount came in for Peter's case, but how much was spent on his case?
I agree. Anytime this group calls for a "probe," it means nothing will happen, particularly on their end. Hate'em.
Klayman is on Hillarys payroll. This is just what the MSM wanted so they can poo-poo anyone that dares criticize their queen as some kook fringe nut.
Klayman no longer works there or runs the place.
I vaguely remember hearing that, now that you mention it. But it sounds as if his spirit lives on.
What I can see is the Dem/MSM spin before it even happens. Democrats and liberal newspapers can call for investigations into Tom DeLay's ethics all day long, and these exalted objective press organs will studiously pretend it isn't a partisan witch hunt. The microsecond that Fox News Channel reports a watchdog group wanting investigations into Madame Hillary's ethics, it will at best described as the right-wing press creating news, and at worst simply ignored.
Tom Fenton runs Judicial Watch now.
"With an in-kind, and then based on how you raise the money, whether it was 100 percent hard, or 30 percent hard, or 60 percent hard, you have to pay that percentage out of the in-kind," he told Reggie. "So we would have to move hard to soft.
"We gotta get rid of the hard. And that woulda hurt us."
Thanks for the info, boomop.
Don't tell Tom Fitton. :)
