FULL DOCUMENTATION AT HILLCAP.ORG
This story is about the Clinton role in the collapse of a public company, Stan Lee Media, Bill Clinton's failure to honor a verbal agreement with Peter Paul to come aboard Stan Lee Media as a rainmaker, four false FEC reports, a conspiracy at the highest levels of the DNC, and the greatest campaign finance fraud in U.S. history. It is a crime that was done in broad daylight, but if people don't see it on network news or read it in the NEW YORK TIMES or WASHPOST (or WSJ), apparently it never happened.
This case will be documented in an upcoming film: HILLARY EXPOSED (yes, I am sorry for the mental picture)
Start with an explanation of THE SMOKING GUN VIDEO recently obtained after a 2-year battle with a US attorney.
Through spokespersons, Senator Clinton has denied that she had any anything to do with coordinating the August 2000 event or soliciting contributions directly from donors. Doing so would make Peter Paul's substantial contributions a direct donation to her Senate campaign rather than her joint fundraising committee, violating federal statutes that limit "hard money" contributions to a candidate to $2,000 per person. Furthermore, knowingly accepting or soliciting $25,000 or more in a calendar year is a felony carrying a prison sentence of up to five years.
Hillary was involved in solicitation and coordination of the massive illegal donation. It was clearly not to benefit any joint committee -- it was to benefit her. You can hear Tonken tell her that she was the only reason people were attending. Hillary even solicited Cher, the in-kind value of which was never declared. None of the in-kind value of any of the performers was declared. On the tape, Hillary admits being extensively briefed by Craighead. She offers her help for the gala. In her declaration, she even accidentally admits the truth that the concert portion done by Gary Smith was for "my Senate campaign." She must have been tired when she admitted that. Had she carried on the previous lies of her counsel, she would have said that it was for her joint fundraising committee.
After two false FEC reports, claiming only $366,000 of the more than $1.6 mil spent by Paul, Paul filed a civil suit. On July 18, 2001, his counsel held a press conference at the National Press Club, and a messenger hand delivered a demand letter to Hillary's office. On July 11, 2001, David Kendall had accepted service for Hillary. Included were bank deposits, cancelled checks, and invoices for $1.6 mil spent by Paul. Nevertheless, Hillary allowed her treasurer, Andrew Grossman, to file a third fraudulent FEC report on July 30, claiming $401,000 for Event 39.
In Dec. 2005 was executed a Conciliation Agreement with the FEC, in which Treasurer Andrew Grossman was forced to admit hiding $721K. The campaign was fined $35,000 and ordered to file a fourth amended report, which they did in Jan. 2006. It was the fourth fraud. That report has "Spiderman" Stan Lee giving $225,000. Pursuant to his sworn video testimony, Lee gave no money. They know he gave no money.
Page 11 of the FEC General Counsel's report exonerates Hillary. Unfortunately, their entire investigation was flawed because they were not provided with sufficient evidence, particularly evidence withheld by a US attorney. When the Senate Ethics Committee took a look at this case, they relied on the flawed FEC report and took no action against Hillary. I have a letter from their chief cousel responding to the offer of Peter Paul being willing to testify before them.
Hillary's amazing declaration: http://www.hillcap.org/default.php?page_id=67 Surprisingly, she doesn't recall anything. Because of Paul's extensive home videos and testimony in the David Rosen criminal trial, "I don't recall" is not going to fly this time.
For six years, David Kendall has been maintaining that Hillary has fully cooperated with the investigations. We have found no information that she was ever called to testify to the Justice Department or the FEC. Had she fully cooperated, the campaign would have filed properly, paid their fine, returned the illegal donation, and moved on. It would have ended there.
In his book KING OF CONS, Aaron Tonken tells of sitting in the back of a van describing in detail everything that was being spent on her. It is my belief that had she filed an honest report on July 30, 2001, Rosen would have never been indicted.
There is substantial evidence that the Clintons stole SLM's Japanese investor, and when his additional $5 million did not come to the company as promised in Nov. 2000, the cash crunch caused its collapse.
TIMELINE:
Feb. 2000 - Peter Paul is induced to support Hillary's 2000 Senate campaign with the promise of access to Bill Clinton to be able to make a proposal to come aboard Stan Lee Media as a rainmaker when he left the WH
June 9, 2000 - Paul pays for two Hillary Clinton fundraisers at Spago and the home of Cynthia Gershman ... the costs are never declared by the campaign (note: a previous fundraiser through Rendell for Al Gore, paid for by Paul, was also never declared; Rendell also never declared a 150K stock pledge) ... at the Spago lunch, Paul spent considerable time with Hillary and discussed his plan for her husband's employment... see the 20/20 report from 2001...Amazingly, in her declaration of 4-7-06, Hillary acts as if she barely knew Peter Paul and claimed she couldn't remember anything they might have said. Besides the email comments, Paul has video of her going on and on about how Stan Lee was a genius for hiring Paul. She is really excited about Paul's idea of a cartoon character of Al Gore, and she wants to talk to Tony Coehlo and Terry McAuliffe about it. Her failure to remember is simply a lie.
June 23, 2000 - Kelly Craighead (a White House employee, not part of any joint funraising committee), Jim Levin, David Rosen (all agents of Hillary and Bill) meet with Aaron Tonken (agent of Paul and fundraiser for Ed Rendell) to originate the idea for a major fundraising event for Hillary as part of the Aug. 14-20 DNC Convention in L.A.
July 11, 2000 - conference call between Peter Paul, Tonken, Craighead, Wolfson, Levin, and Rosen in which Paul is solicited to pay for the Hollywood Gala....he is asked to pay $525K, and it is expected that Cynthia Gershman will pay a like amount....it was acknowledged by all that the fundraiser would cost over a million dollars
July 17, 2000 - Paul films the SMOKING GUN VIDEO. This video was withheld by an assistant US ATTY while investigations were proceeding. Hillary is shown soliciting and coordinatinG the $1.6 mil in-kind, hard money donation. Kelly Craighead kept her completely briefed and she offered any help she could. David Kendall's claim that this was a joint fundraiser, and thus hard money, won't fly. Craighead was a White House employee who solicited the money on July 11. Hillary was part of closing the deal on July 17.
Aug. 12, 2000 - Hollywood Gala... it raises a million dollars for Hillary, but it cost over a million dollars...Paul spent several hours with Bill Clinton... here they are putting the final touches on the deal at the after concert dinner... Look at all the photos of the gala... Hillary actually said in her declaration of 4-7-06, "I remember Mr. Paul attending the event..." How insulting was that? Actually, she spent hours near him and publicly thanked him from the stage for all he did.
Aug 13 - Paul and his wife Andrea are at the home of Barbra Streisand for Clinton Library donors...when Hillary sees Andrea, she runs over to her, brings her over to Streisand, and introduces her as "the wife of the man who funded last night's event...my new best friend"... Streisand's testimony should be interesting... Chelsea came up to the table with Paul, Andrea, Tendo Oto, Oto's interpreter Jonathon Rogers, Jim Levin, and Haim Saban. Chelsea discussed for at least a half an hour how excited she and her parents were about her dad coming to work for the creator of Spider Man... Hillary sets up her daughter for perjury
Aug. 13 - Tendo Oto and SLM make their deal for Asian partnership - Oto gives $5 mil and promises another $5-7 mil in November for the American joint venture...On Aug. 12 he had paid $27K to attend the federal fundraiser gala. Giving money was illegal. Attending was illegal. Since Oto had no social security number to check out when he showed up at the event with his camera crew, the Secret Service said no way. Clinton had the Secret Service stand down, and Oto sat directly behind the president and first lady.
Aug 14 - Ed Rendell calls Peter Paul in a panic. Lloyd Grove is preparing a story for the WASHPOST about Paul's felony record for "The Cuban Coffee Caper" two decades previous when he was an international attorney in Miami. Rendell tells Paul to deny he gave any money and just play along. Shortly after the warning call, Grove called. Here is the callsheet from SLM, certified by the government as evidence.
Aug 15 - Lloyd Grove writes the story in the WASHPOST about Paul's felony past from two decades previous involving the Cuban Coffee Caper and defrauding Fidel Castro of $8.7 million ... Howard Wolfson vows that they would never take any money from Peter Paul
Aug 17 - Grove writes a second story about $2,000 given by Paul at Spago ... Wolfson says they will return the money, and a check is immediately cut and sent to Paul ... Wolfson actually admits that the gala cost a million dollars but says it was in-kind and not a check. (Ummm, in-kind is hard money, Howard)
Aug 18 - behind the scenes, while disavowing him in public, the Clintons write personal notes to Paul, dated Aug 18, espressing their gratitude ... Hillary: "We will remember it always"... Bill's note... Even Chelsea got into the act.
Aug 24 - Campaign Finance Chairman David Rosen is directed to send a fax to Paul asking for another $100,000 (actually, one of several faxes) ... Hillary had promised the money for the Working Families Party in New York ... Paul will send no more money until he hears it face to face from Bill Clinton that they still have a deal (second document shows Gordon's acknowledgement that it was "done")
Sept. 22, 2000 - Clinton steps off AF-1 in Los Angeles (we have photo) and assures Paul that the deal is still a go ... Paul has Steven Gordon send a stock transfer of $55K to the Working Families Party for Hillary... we can find no evidence that they ever declared that donation. If the Clintons were disavowing Paul in public, claimed he gave no money, and had no business arrangement with the President as claimed by Hillary, why would the President of the United States be meeting Paul in public as he stepped off AF-1? For what possible purpose? That's not hard to figure out, is it?
Nov 7 - Hillary is elected
Nov 13 - just six days after Hillary's election, an agreement for Venture Soft USA Inc is recorded in Illinois between Jim Levin, Clinton's business adviser, and Tendo Oto ... Levin was Clinton's "eyes and ears" in dealing with Paul, got proprietary business information, and stole the Japanese partner for their own deal
Dec 2000 - Stan Lee Media collapses ... the additional $5-7 million promised in November from partner Tendo Oto was not received due to the Clinton/Levin interference In Paul v Clinton, it will be proven that Oto's money would have kept the company solvent until Clinton came aboard as he had promised Peter Paul.
Early 2001 - Paul discovers that the campaign has filed two fraudulent FEC reports, only reporting 366K for the cost of Event 39 ... he spent over a million dollars on it
June 18, 2001 - Paul files initial lawsuit against the Clintons and several others for business fraud
July 3 - Treasurer Andrew Grossman is served with the lawsuit that includes documentation for $1.6 million spent by Paul
July 11 - David Kendall accepts service for Hillary along with the $1.6 million documented expenses
July 18 - press conference at National Press Club . Paul has messenger hand deliver a demand letter to Hillary's senate office
July 30 - despite Paul's demand and all of the documentation, a third false FEC report is filed ... this time they declare $401K for Event 39 ... still no mention of Paul as the real donor
Jan 2005 - criminal indictment of David Rosen is unsealed
May 2005 - Rosen acquitted in criminal trial in Los Angeles...the perjury in this trial was astounding...the judge and prosecutor went out of their way to condemn Paul and claim that Hillary had nothing to do with it is also astounding... FBI affidavit during the trial documenting $1.2 mil from Paul that was not declared. The prosecution does not call Paul, Aaron Tonken, or key witness Kelly Craighead (Craighead was also never called by the FEC - she will be a key witness in Paul v Clinton).... The prosecution does not use damaging evidence against Rosen obtained while Ray Reggie (brother in law of Ted Kennedy) was wearing a wire. In Tonken's book, KING OF CONS, he tells how he sat in a van with Hillary detailing all of the money that was being spent on her.
Dec 2005 - FEC determines that the campaign deliberately underreported $721,000, fines the campaign a mere $35,000, and orders a new filing...treasurer Andrew Grossman signs conciliation agreement with the FEC, the equivalent of a nolo contendre plea
Jan 2006 - the fourth fraudulent FEC report is filed ... among the problems are Stan Lee (whom we have on tape in a deposition swearing that he gave no money) is credited with a 225K donation and Paul is still never named personally as the donor as he has demanded
April 7, 2006 - Hillary removed as defendant but judge made clear to Kendall that she would be testifying ... the declaration turned into the court by Kendall for Hillary can only be described as a work of fiction ... no reporters attended the hearing and not one mainstream media source wrote that a trial date had been set for defendant Bill Clinton (trial date postponed until appeal is hear to bring Hillary back in as a defendant) ... Chelsea will be one of the witnesses called ... although her mom claims no knowledge of the business deal, if Chelsea testifies honestly, she will tell how the family stayed up late after the gala playing scrabble and discussing the excitement of daddy going to work for the creator of Spiderman ... from a private fundraiser at Zev Braun's house in early 2000, Paul has home video of Hillary laughing and discussing with him how he had arranged in 1993 for Fabio to chase her around the room and pick her up in a romance pose...the president referenced that event the next year at the Italian-American Foundation Dinner.... her declaration claiming that she met Paul in early 2000 is simply a lie
June 2006 - Senate Ethics Committee announces it will not investigate Hillary and simply relies on the flawed FEC procedure ... subsequently, they refuse Paul's offer to appear and testity
Oct. 18, 2006 - new demand letter for return of over a million dollars is delivered to Hillary's DC office with copy delivered to Sen. Voinovich, chair of the Senate Ethics Committee
Jan. 10, 2007 - Paul counsel files Appellate Brief to bring Hillary back into the case as a defendant (that delays the trial date for Bill, set for March 27, 2007...it also delays depositions)....no mainstream media source had reported that defendant Bill Clinton had a trial date in a case involving the collapse of Spiderman Stan Lee's company)
April 2007 - after a two-year battle for the return of evidence, including home videos, an assistant US atty provides Paul with a list of items they will return to him.....included was the "smoking gun video": July 17, 5-minute conference call, Hillary Clinton..... when the numerous pieces of evidence were finally sent, the shipment did not include that video.....Paul's counsel argues vehemently for that to be sent....Paul believes that a low-level functionary screwed up by putting that piece of evidence on the manifest -- Hillary never thought it would see the light of day...that video was finally sent because they could not deny its possession
June 20, 2007 - look at this page under "Latest Filings" for June 20 briefs and declarations
July 27, 2007 - court notification that oral arguments are set for Sept. 7 before the California Court of Appeals.... a decision on whether Hillary is brought back in as a defendant is expected within 10 days thereafter.... then, it is time for depositions.... if David Kendall loses, he may appeal to the California Supreme Court.....that court had earlier refused to hear the argument about removal of Bill Clinton from the case.... Kendall may be able to delay it for a short time, but depositions are expected to begin this year
ADDITIONAL INFO: THE FRAUDULENT SENATOR SERIES ADDITIONAL INFO: THE FRAUDULENT SENATOR SERIES
Well, FReepers, it is up to us to get this info in the hands of thousands of bloggers and to get the story on talk radio. I will appear on any show at any time. I need your help.
At the recent UCLA book fair I met Newsweek's Mike Isikoff and arranged for a face to face meeting a few days later. He was the first mainstream journalist to see the entire smoking gun video and was presented with the entire package of evidence. He has not written the story.
Also at the book fair, I challenged former ABC political director, who had told me last October that he would do the story and that it was "underreported." He made a meager gesture to have a field producer contact me. It went nowhere. Also at that session, I challenged James O'Shea, editor of the Los Angeles Times to finally join me in the Superior Courtroom of Judge Aurelio Munoz. It is walking distance from his office. Despite many invitations, he never sent a reporter to any of court sessions. O'Shea has not returned four of my subsequent calls.
Another person challenged at the book fair was Jim Lehrer. The crowd was very hostile when I was grilling him in the question and answer part of his presentation. It really was enemy territory. Lehrer's response was simply, "We know about the story."
FreeRepublic stopped Dan Rather. It is up to FreeRepublic and an army of bloggers to join the TRUTH BOATING HILLARY campaign. We have to break the mainstream media blockade and shame the MSM into reporting. You can either sit back and whine, saying that nothing will ever happen to Hillary, or you can join this effort. I would greatly appreciate you joining the effort. Thanks.
bttt
An excellent post! The papers here in Kansas would never dream of printing this story.
He is going to be subpoenaed and grilled. Ed is the one who first got Peter involved in the joy of Democratic donating.
I didn’t mean it’s trashing her— just don’t know where Oprah would fall on it. She’s not a reporter after all.
I understand. I just want her to know. Maybe it will give encouragement to Obama supporters.
You are an American treasure, Doug. Keep on fighting to get this story out to the public. Too much political scandal [by both parties] has been swept under the rug.
However, watch your back. The Clinton “machine” can play very, very dirty.
Timing could NOT be better. Today's news cycle is including a feud between Hillary and Obie.
You have made a persuasive case, doug. Unfortunately, as Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, “This is a court of law, not a court of justice.”
Actually, I have a picture of me laying down as if dead near the cannon in the park. It was on a weekend trip to DC in 1998 in which I tried to evict the Clintons. They wouldn’t, of course, let me serve an eviction notice, so I paraded in front of the White House with a poster sized 30 DAY NOTICE TO VACATE sign. It made the WASH TIMES.
Thanks to the ADMIN MODERATOR for making a few changes in the original TIMELINE. Now, FReepers, start adding this to blogs! Thanks.
You have a picture? Let’s see it!
Oprah would never do it herself....but she might “forward” it to someone who would.
"Whatever protection her staff had build around her, however much in the dark they had kept her, that was over. Now she knew."
Somewhere in storage. It was nine years ago.
That is the hope. If she wants Obama to win, she will make sure the right people have the information behind the scenes.
If that phrase were to be updated to this century, it would read:
"This is a court of politics, not a court of law."
We have entered an age where the powerful elite have gained control over the media and over government. Thank God for the internet and folks like Doug who use it for the good of average Americans.
Sounds like a good one! LOL!
I believe at this point the the ONLY way to beat Hillary is at the voting booth.
Beating her at the voting booth means presenting the truth to the voters. That is what TRUTH BOATING HILLARY is all about.
