MASTER THREAD: Bloggers and mainstream media running TRUTH BOATING HILLARY
ejfa, hillcap.org ^ | JULY 29, 2007 | DFU

Posted on 07/29/2007 9:09:08 PM PDT by doug from upland

ORIGINAL FREEPER THREAD

FReepers, please use this thread to report stories from either the mainstream media or bloggers regarding TRUTH BOATING HILLARY and the support of the EQUAL JUSTICE OF AMERICA foundation website.

Here is a corrected timeline from the previous post:

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 coordination 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

What this means? Hillary will soon be under oath in Paul v Clinton. Her campaign finance fraud will finally be revealed for all to see as will the collapse of Stan Lee Media.

We are not counting chickens. We are trying to make something happen — getting the press to finally report.

Make no mistake that Hillary is going to be under oath. I was in the courtroom of Justice Aurelio Munoz when he said —— I will entertain no motion that prevents Senator Clinton from testifying....did you hear that, Mr. Kendall?

HERE THEY ARE --- CALL, FAX, AND EMAIL!

Here's a tip. When you ask for the newsroom and a certain reporter, if he is not there, you go to his voicemail. Often, he will give you his cell number. CALL IT! It will be particularly helpful to contact reporters who are doing stories on the 2008 campaign. Find that on Google news or Yahoo news.

Doug,

I hope and pray that you’re right. However, I’m not going to hold my breath. These two grifters seem able to skate out of all transgressions and their stock goes up after every one. I don’t see why this one will be different.

If some of you have time, find the reporters who did the nonsense George Allen “macaca” story. They killed his presidential hopes. They need to be asked why they are not reporting on this.

Hillary will soon be under oath

The only "oath" hillary cares about is when she screeches curses at billyblythe or at her servants.

The clintons have proven over and over that "truth" can be parsed and oaths mean NOTHING.

Does anyone remember the last time a Clinton was under oath? He was impeached. When I spoke with Mark Levin on Thursday at the Freedom Concert, he was stunned that we are finally going to get her under oath. That really is a big deal. Yes, she will try her infamous, “I don’t recall.” In this case, however, she is going to be shown 5 hours of home video. She is saying things that no one could possibly forget.

Here is something you might find interesting. All along, including in his latest brief to the California Appellate Court, David Kendall has maintained that the money spent on the Gala was soft money — it was for a joint fundraising committee and not subject to the $2,000 limit by an individual donor. Yet, in her declaration of April 7, 2006, Hillary actually told the truth in one small portion of that work of fiction. She mentioned Gary Smith, the producer of the concert, as doing the concert for “my Senate campaign.” My Senate campaign, not a joint fundraiser. In her sworn declaration, she makes an admission that it was hard money, thus illegal.

What is your realistic assessment of what will become of this? I can't believe that Hillary, being a liberal, will suffer any adverse results that would affect her campaign in any way.

Short of murdering somebody on live tv she can do just about anything she pleases and gets a pass.

We are going to show that Hillary helped solicit and coordinate a hard money, in-kind $1.6 mil donation. We are going to ask for the DOJ and FEC to re-open the investigations. Under oath, we are going to show that she turned in a false declaration to the court. She will not likely ever be convicted of anything, but we hope the public and the other candidates will use the info to put a stake into the vampire's heart.

I have previously reported Tendo Oto's intention to give Stan Lee Media another $5 million for the American partnership. The link in my timeline shows the letter referencing the first 5 mil for the Japanese partnership. Here is the letter confirming Oto's intent. Had Clinton and his agent Jim Levin not interfered with Oto and stolen him away from SLM, his 5 mil in November would have kept the company solvent. This is the matter that is at the heart of the suit. Clinton destroyed a public company that had a market cap of over $300 million. Amazingly, Oto had arranged for Stan Lee to be named a Master Creator in China, giving the company business advantages possessed by no other entertainment company in the world. Had it not been for the Clintons, SLM would have been an incredible worldwide force in the entertainment industry.

Here is really funny stuff on the Hillary blog from lying weasel Howard Wolfson. My response is below. What are the chances they will print it?

Cut Ties and Return Cash

by Howard Wolfson, Communications Directorin Special Guest

2/21/2007 9:33 AM

New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd published a column (sub. required) today that quotes David Geffen, finance chairman of Senator Barack Obama's Presidential campaign, attacking Hillary and Bill Clinton and saying that "America was better served when the candidates were chosen in smoke-filled rooms."

I made the following statement today in response, and I wanted to share it with you:

"While Senator Obama was denouncing slash and burn politics yesterday, his campaign's finance chair was viciously and personally attacking Senator Clinton and her husband.

"If Senator Obama is indeed sincere about his repeated claims to change the tone of our politics, he should immediately denounce these remarks, remove Mr. Geffen from his campaign and return his money.

"While Democrats should engage in a vigorous debate on the issues, there is no place in our party or our politics for the kind of personal insults made by Senator Obama's principal fundraiser."

UPDATE: Senator Obama's campaign responded, and I've just released the following statement:

"By refusing to disavow the personal attacks from his biggest fundraiser against Senator Clinton and President Clinton, Senator Obama has called into serious question whether he really believes his own rhetoric. How can Senator Obama denounce the politics of slash & burn yesterday while his own campaign is espousing the politics of trash today?

"When one of Senator Clinton's supporters made an inappropriate statement, her campaign disavowed it immediately and the supporter apologized for his words. Why won't Senator Obama do the same?"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Mr. Wolfson, speaking of returning cash, do you remember your statements to the WASHINGTON POST on Aug. 15 and Aug. 17, 2000? You claimed that Hillary's campaign would take no money from Peter Paul. I have called your office but not had a return call. I wanted to get you comments on being a witness in the case coming soon to California Superior Court -- Paul v Clinton. Isn't it time that Hillary returns the $1.6 million that Peter Paul spent on her campaign? After all, not only was it an illegal donation, you said she would take no money from him.

You were part of that July 11, 2000 conference call with Kelly Craighead and others in which Peter was solicited to pay $525,000 for the Hollywood Gala. When Cynthia Gershman did not pay her share, he ended up paying for it all. In that conference call it was acknowledged that the even would cost more than a million dollars. Your testimony is certainly going to be interesting.

As a aside, what is the state of Stan Lee Media now?

I have noticed in a huge surge over the past few years of Marvel characters from movies to lunchboxes, etc.

Big money.

Who is benefiting from that?

Just sent the link to Rush via super secret 24/7 email. Maybe he’ll talk about it some but I wouldn’t bet on it.

He has this, the Henry Waxman thing, The NTY turning in favor of the surge, Hillary's Planted Heckler, the falsified claim of Maliki wanting Petraeus out and the UK's Brown all of a sudden re-enamoured of W to pick from today.

Should be good.

Sure hope so, it just seems to me that Rush has lost interest in politics, at least not as much as he used to.

I love that picture.

I’ll blog something on ‘truth boating’ on my blog tonight.

Stan Lee is being sued right now for bankruptcy fraud by Stan Lee Media. MARVEL is being sued by the new SLM for $5 mil and a claim to half the revenue from the characters.

Doug, I pray that this will cross her up. The clinton monster needs to be beheaded.

Intellectually, I can see how the potent left media and the solidly-plastered walls of the liberal politicians have prevented justice from occurring in regards to the clintons. It still, however, blows me away that it is allowed. The republicans could stop the obscenities that are the clintons; but they, somehow, allow them to begift them with a Free Pass of Acceptable.

I am so glad that you refuse to follow the mass of the suicidal right.
