Shocker: Ted Kennedy's In-Law Spied on the Clintons
NY POST ^ | April 22, 2005 | DEBORAH ORIN and IAN BISHOP in D.C. & HOWARD BREUER in L.A.

Posted on 04/22/2005 2:34:20 AM PDT by Liz

Sen. Ted Kennedy's brother-in-law is the mystery witness who raised $100,000 for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and then went undercover and wore a wire to help the feds nab one of her top moneymen on charges of fund-raising-fraud, The Post has learned.

The witness, Ray Reggie, 43, has a sister, Victoria, who married Kennedy in 1992, and prosecutors say Reggie secretly recorded "incriminating" statements made by David Rosen, a top Clinton fund-raiser.

Reggie was close enough to Bill and Hillary Clinton to sleep over at the White House in 2000 and stay up chatting with the first couple into the wee hours.

Sources tell The Post that he is the "cooperating witness" — described but not named in recent court papers — and that he is likely to testify at Rosen's May 3 trial as part of a plea deal struck with federal prosecutors.

The well-connected Reggie stayed undercover for nearly 21/2 years, helping the feds on multiple probes, and was still wearing a wire and making secret tapes as recently as last December, federal documents show.

Reggie hobnobbed at the very top Democratic levels. A month after he'd raised $100,000 for Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign in 2000, Bill Clinton invited him to a state dinner for the king of Morocco — and a sleepover at the White House.

Reggie told The Times-Picayune of New Orleans that he and his wife later got a post-midnight knock on their bedroom door. The Clintons had come to chat.

Yesterday, Reggie, a Democratic campaign consultant who worked for both Clintons and for Al Gore, pleaded guilty in New Orleans to unrelated multimillion-dollar bank-fraud charges.

James Carville has to be in this picture someplace!

Louisiana is Cueball's turf and anything dealing with democrat politics and the Clintons, he would be in the loop I'm guessing!

If any of you think this is going to some way affect HRC and her political ambitions I got some dirt cheap FLorida scrub bush on sale for ya.

This will once again amount to alot of "wishful thinking" on the part of those of us who want to see the Toons get nailed but I ain't setting myself up for that dissapointment again. The Clintons have made their deal with the devil and I don't care if they have HRC's voice on tape admitting she had Vince Foster killed in the park with the lead pipe, she will come out of this COMPLETELY unscathed

Oh, it's nothing, really (blushing, looking demure, rotating toe on carpet).

However, if someone in my orbit is foolish enough to forget that skill of mine......man, it's too horrifying to contemplate.

I hope Mr. Reggie has many bodyguards. I'd be damned fearful of reprisals if I were him.

Arkancide bets, anyone?!

Here's the thread on the Sun article (and no, unfortunately it looks like HRC will not face charges and once again the media will ignore that top ranking democrats---in addition to the Kennedys and Clintons, the New Orleans article above mentions Kerry---are constantly affiliated with people pleading guilty or standing trial for one thing or another as this Reggie just did and HRC's campaign man is facing):
