A federal judge who stated in court Sen. Hillary Clinton had nothing to do with the planning and preparation for a scandal-plagued Hollywood fundraiser, received by hand-delivery yesterday a transcript of a videotape that allegedly captures the New York Democrat committing felonies related to the event.
The transcript, along with a letter demanding a hearing, was hand-delivered to Federal Judge A. Howard Matz by Douglas Cogan, a regular contributor to FreeRepublic.com who has followed the case closely and helped produce a documentary.
As WND reported, the tape – held by the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York from 2001 to 2007 – documents a July 2000 phone call that purportedly shows Clinton taking an active role in the production of the fundraiser.
Business mogul Peter Franklin Paul, who has filed a $17 million fraud lawsuit against Sen. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, contends the senator's participation in soliciting performers and planning for the August 2000 Hollywood fundraiser would make his more than $1.2 million in contributions to the event a direct donation to her Senate campaign rather than to a joint fundraising committee. That would violate federal statutes that limit "hard money" contributions to a candidate to $2,000 per person. Knowingly accepting or soliciting $25,000 or more in a calendar year is a felony carrying a prison sentence of up to five years.
Matz, who was appointed by President Clinton, presided over the 2005 trial of Sen. Clinton's campaign finance director David Rosen who was acquitted of filing false financial reports of the fundraiser.
At the outset, Matz declared, "This isn't a trial about Senator Clinton."

The senator, he said, "has no stake in this trial as a party or a principal" and is "not in the loop in any direct way, and that's something the jury will be told."
Peter Paul was never called to testify. Aaron Tonken was never called to testify. Kelly Craighead was never called to testify. David Rosen was caught on a government wire making damaging admissions --- that was never presented to the jury. Is this the 1919 Black Sox?
.....and the hits just keeeeeep on comin!
Go get ‘er PP!
go Doug...keeping prayers with you.
I admire your persistence and dogged pursuit of the truth, but I have lost all faith in the "justice" system in this country, and almost all in the political system. Almost everyone has their hand out for money and there is an awful, awful lot of crooked cash floating around. You've got scumbags like George Soros and his MoveOn Rogue's Gallery of slimemolds bragging about how they bought and own the 'Rat party. And our next President (Hillary) is the spawn of that? The country is being flushed down the toilet by these people, and the sheeple sleep on...
If that guy wasn’t a bearded, Birkenstock-wearing vegetarian, it wasn’t me. No, I was working the bullhorn at the Fed Bldg in L.A. at the time.
I may be showing the documentary in Austin in the near future. I’ll again make the offer to any group, the larger the better - give me a plane ticket and one night in a hotel, and I’ll show the film anywhere at any time.
Good idea.
Since I have taken so much time away from my business for 2.5 years, it would be really helpful to actually not just give it away on YouTube.
Thank you for doing this. You are serving your country just as much as the armed troops fighting wars. There is a serious war going on in this country and no one seems to be taking it seriously.
