Re: USA v Rosen: New Evidence Released by the US Attorney for Eastern NY Contradicts Statements Made By The Court To The Jury At the Criminal Trial of David Rosen May, 2005
Dear Judge Matz:
On April 11, 2007, two years from the commencement of your Court's trial of Hillary Clinton's National Finance Director, David Rosen, disturbing video taped evidence of Hillary Clinton's undisclosed role in personally soliciting and coordinating, from Peter Paul, more than $1.2 million in expenditures Paul made to produce the largest fundraising event of Hillary Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign, the focal point of the David Rosen trial, was released to Peter Paul's lawyers by the US Attorney for the Eastern District of NY. (The video, a transcript of that tape, and a Sworn Declaration regarding the tape is attached for your review)
This suppressed video tape made by Paul and subpoenaed by the US Attorney in New York in 2001, appears to have been withheld from all of the investigations initiated by Mr Paul's allegations to Main Justice in Washington, the FEC, the Inspector General of the Justice Department, and the Senate Ethics Committee It shows direct evidence of Senator Clinton's having “a stake” in the $1.2 million fundraising event that she is soliciting coordinating, and ensuring that she remains in the loop of producing. She herself is heard stating she is, and has been, being briefed about the fund raising event from inception to completion, including personally admitting to soliciting illegal contributions from Cher for the event.
As you recall, you began the Rosen trial with the following material statements you made to the jury and the public:
“This isn’t a trial about Senator Clinton.” “Senator Clinton has no stake in this trial as a party or principal.” “She’s not in the loop in any direct way, and that’s something the jury will be told. ” (Emphasis added)
You thereafter made statements about Peter Paul, that he was:
“a thoroughly discredited, corrupt individual. He’s a con artist. The fact that he is, is already established.”
The court was well aware, through pre-trial pleadings, as reported in the media, that the government's case against Mr. Rosen was based in large part on Peter Paul's whistleblowing directly to Attorney General Ashcroft and Assistant Attorney General Chertoff and Chief of the Office of Public Integrity Noel Hillman beginning in June, 2001, and that Rosen's defense was that he was “conned” by Peter Paul:
“The federal government’s criminal case [against Rosen] is largely built around the claims of Peter Paul. .. who turned on the Clintons after producing a lavish Hollywood fund-raiser for Mrs. Clinton in 2000… the defense is expected to argue that Mr. Rosen had no way of knowing that the figures he reported were wrong because he had relied on information provided by Mr. Paul and others who arranged the event. ” New York Times, May 9, 2005 Political Drama Abounds...
“Rosen Defense to Argue He Was Duped by 'Con Men'” New York Sun, May 6, 2005
As a result of your public comments and remarks to the jury, David Rosen's defense was accepted by the jury, that Mr. Paul was a con man who hoodwinked Mr Rosen, and he was acquitted when the jury did not find, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Mr. Rosen was alone responsible for false information that caused Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign to file the three false FEC reports it lodged with the FEC from 2000-2001. (Mr. Rosen's boss, the Treasurer of Senator Clinton's Joint Fundraising Committee, and a witness in your court, Mr Andrew Grossman, later accepted responsibility to the FEC for the three false reports that he filed and signed, and was fined $35,000 for hiding in those reports more than $700,000 contributed by Peter Paul)..
Not only did your remarks that Hillary Clinton was “not in the loop in any direct way” and “had no stake in the trial as a principal” lead to media pronouncements that a federal judge ruled Hillary had no involvement whatsoever in the matter, but they also contributed to false conclusions, now contradicted by the newly released video tape attached, by the Federal Election Commission and the Senate Ethics Committee, that “there was no evidence Hillary personally knew” anything about the matter.
It is clear that the Grand Jury and the jury at David Rosen's trial were misled by false and incomplete the facts upon which Mr Rosen was first indicted and then tried. These facts were suppressed by all those connected with Senator Clinton who knew that David Rosen had no exclusive knowledge of the activities and costs surrounding the production of the August 12, 2000 Gala benefiting Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign, as alleged in his indictment, and for which he was prosecuted.
While neither facts nor witnesses were presented to the Court or the Grand Jury regarding the public statements to the Washington Post in August, 2000 by Hillary Clinton for Senate Campaign and Hillary Clinton personal spokesman Howard Wolfson that the Gala cost more than $1 million- which facts alone confirmed that Hillary and her campaign were aware the Gala did not cost the $366,000 they reported three times to the FEC, and should have precluded Rosen's indictment and trial for individually having caused false reports to be filed by Hillary Clinton's campaign that misrepresented that cost- the video taped evidence withheld until April 11, 2007 by the US Attorney in New York shows without question that Hillary Clinton personally and through her designated White House employee and agent, Kelly Craighead, coordinated the entire event and its expenditures.
The video being delivered to you today proves that Hillary Clinton and her designated agent, Kelly Craighead, coordinated with Peter Paul and his production team, entirely paid by Paul, and that Mrs. Clinton admitted she was “fully briefed” from the inception of the gala (and as Mr Levin's testimony confirmed, the Gala was in fact conceived by Ms. Craighead with Mr Levin) and through its successful production, on a daily basis, regarding what was happening. Mrs. Clinton is even captured admitting to soliciting Cher's contribution of in kind professional performance services that (exceeded a fair market value of $100,000 making that solicitation by a candidate personally a federally limited contribution) an issue that was raised by the government regarding a knowledge only Mr Rosen had that he used to cause the false reports to be filed.
Because of this newly released video evidence, and its direct contradiction of the material statements the Court made to the jury during the Rosen trial as to the role of Mrs. Clinton in the matter and the credibility of Peter Paul, who had been alleging to the government since March, 2001 the r ole of Mrs Clinton and her agent Kelly Craighead as captured on the concealed video, on behalf of my constituency and the American public, I respectfully request that you make a careful review of what appears to be an extraordinary obstruction of justice that caused the illegal indictment and trial of David Rosen. As a result of the intentional omissions and false denials by the Clintons and their agents to all investigators into this matter, of any knowledge of or involvement with Peter Paul in, soliciting, coordinating and producing The Hollywood Gala Farewell Salute their obstructions directly caused 1) the indictment and trial of David Rosen; 2) the false statements the Court made to the jury and the public, 3) obstruction and false conclusions by all other investigations made into this matter. based on the omission and concelament of information captured on the video.
It is respectfully requested that the court take the following action after reviewing the facts and the newly released evidence as described above:
1. Hold a hearing compelling the Department of Justice to show cause why they should not be held in contempt for concealing, through the US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, direct evidence pertinent to the indictment and trial of David Rosen in Los Angeles, California
2. Request that the US Attorney for the Central District of California conduct a thorough investigation of the “cooperation” of Senator Clinton and her agents which resulted in obstructing the investigations into their solicitation, coordination, disclosure and reporting of expenditures by Peter Paul to fund and produce The Hollywood Gala Salute to President Clinton on August 12, 2000, which obstruction led to the illegal indictment of David Rosen for actions they knew were falsely attributed to Rosen exclusively. It also resulted in the illegal exoneration of Senator Clinton and her agents for lack of inculpating evidence conceled by them and or at their direction.
3. Take all actions necessary and proper to assure that every remedy available to the federal judiciary is utilized and publicly disclosed to reverse the miscarriage of justice that occurred in connection with false and misleading remarks caused to be made by the Court as detailed above.
Please advise me of your response so that I may act accordingly in the interest of justice and in furtherance of the Judicial Canon of Ethics.
Respectfully,
(SIGNATURE AND CONTACT INFO)
