'Smoking Gun' Clinton Tape Released to Public By Fred Lucas CNSNews.com Staff Writer June 22, 2007

(CNSNews.com) - The video described in a civil suit as "smoking gun" evidence that Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) committed felonies became available on the Internet Friday.

On the tape the former first lady and leading Democratic presidential contender is heard speaking in 2000 with Hollywood mogul Peter Paul, comic book icon Stan Lee, and director Aaron Tonkin about a massive fundraising event for her 2000 Senate race. Paul spent about $2 million of his own money to produce the event but later had a fallout with the Clintons.

If she helped to plan the event, it could legally constitute a direct hard money donation to Clinton's Senate campaign, rather than to her joint fundraising committee called New York Senate 2000. If that is the case, the donation from Paul would be 10 times the legal limit of $2,000.

...The conversation appears to show Clinton actively helping to plan the event. The suit alleges that she violated federal campaign finance laws by directly soliciting a contribution from Paul.

And we thought the Million Mom March was the entire iceberg, as opposed to just its tip.

Hillary Clinton with Nita Lowey (D-NY) at the Million Mom March rally on Mother's Day, 2000. Remember that an associate of Hillary Clinton played a central role in starting the Million Mom March, a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization whose ostensible purpose was to oppose gun violence or something like that. While the MMM was telling its followers and the press how its mission was to demand "common sense gun laws" from Congress, here is what it told the Internal Revenue Service.

WASHINGTON (May 14, 2000 6:09 p.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) - "A crush of media and excited onlookers forced Hillary Rodham Clinton to take a detour shortly after she joined the Million Mom March as it moved along the National Mall on Sunday." "The Mother's Day march was intended to send lawmakers and the gun lobby a message that American families support stricter gun control laws."

by Tim Wheeler

On Mother's Day 750,000 women rallied in Washington to demand enactment of "sensible gun control" laws. The protesters, many of them mothers holding portraits of their slain children, cheered as speakers called for ousting lawmakers tied to the National Rifle Association (NRA) who block gun control legislation.

Donna Dees-Thomases, Million Mom March initiator, said "Our votes are our power and we will use that in force in the November elections."

...First Lady Hillary Clinton, a candidate for the US Senate from New York, said in a taped message: "We have had enough bloodshed, enough violence. When children are afraid to walk down their own blocks or walk to their own schools ... or even visit neighbours, it is time to say enough!"

SECRETARY CUOMO, MILLION MOM MARCH ORGANIZERS RENEW CALL FOR GUN SAFETY LEGISLATION

WASHINGTON - On the day Congress started its return to session, U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Andrew Cuomo stood on the steps of the U.S. Capitol with local organizers of the Million Mom March to urge passage of sensible gun legislation that would protect children and keep guns out of the hands of criminals. Joining Cuomo at the event were U.S. Representatives Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC) and James Moran (VA); Handgun Control Inc. President Michael Barnes; Million Mom March board member Beckie Brown; and gun violence victims from DC, Maryland, and Virginia.

"On Mother's Day, hundreds of thousands of mothers cried out that they would no longer tolerate gun violence, and demanded lawmakers to pass laws to stop the epidemic. And no one knows the grim reality of gun-related child mortality better than America's mothers," he added. "As my wife and I stood with America's moms on the Mall that day, we all hoped Congress would end its gridlock on this issue. Sadly, little has changed and the gridlock remains."

As a result of the lack of legislation, Million Mom March leaders today announced November's "March to the Polls," a grassroots effort to elect those candidates who pledge to support gun legislation, and vote against those who do not.

Organizers of today's event say they want Congress to:

require handgun owners to be licensed and all handguns be registered; close the "gun show" loophole; limit gun buyers to purchasing one gun a month; and require consumer product safety standards for guns.

"On May 14, we called on Congress to enact sensible gun laws for the sake of our children and our nation," said Claudette Perry, local Field Office Director for the Million Mom March. "Now, we renew our call. And if these lawmakers do not listen, we will elect new ones."

Res Ipsa Loquitur, the thing speaks for itself.

[South40]

She’ll skate. She always does.

[Sam Clements]

There ain’t no smoking that is ever going to get the Clintons. They have proved that in the past and there is no reason to think it will be different this time. I say we beat her at the polls using the power of our ideas versus her failed big government, 60’s brand of socialism.

[South40]

She’s sinking herself by competing with Barak Osama to see who can offer the most socialist policies, all in an effort to gain the dimRAT nomination. She’s already reviled by a good portion of America. That should tip the scales.

[El Gato]

She’ll skate. She always does.

Yep, it's "Just an inadvertent technical violation". Sort of like having "bomb making chemicals" in your basement, along with a few homemade bombs. Both laws in this example are unconstitutional anyway. So no one will really care.

[Mr_Moonlight]

donation from Paul would be 10 times the legal limit of $2,000.

Uhhhhh, I'm no math whiz, but $2 million is sorta like 1000 times the legal limit of $2000

[ReleaseTheHounds]

If that is the case, the donation from Paul would be 10 times the legal limit of $2,000.

Is my math way off? A $2 mil. donation is 1,000-times the $2,000 legal limit...

[llevrok]

ping

[El Gato]

There ain’t no smoking that is ever going to get the Clintons.

Well, not the figurative sort anyway.

A jealous husband might do one or the other of them in, yah never know.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

2 great minds!

[South40]

Uhhhhh, I'm no math whiz, but $2 million is sorta like 1000 times the legal limit of $2000

The experts agree. You are correct sir!

[freekitty]

It’s sad, if women would vote for woman who enabled her husband after he raped a woman.

What a shame.

[NativeNewYorker]

Minnie Pearl?

[Winged Hussar]

Hillary says she is going to clean under the carpets in the Oval Office if she gets elected. Since Laura Bush was doubtlessly too grossed out at the mere idea of looking under them, we know what Hillary will find: her husband’s used condoms. None used on her, of course.

[Winged Hussar]

The one in the center is Her Majesty Queen Hillary I, Regina Dei Grata et Imperatrix Mundi, and the one to our left is Nita Lowey (D-NY). I don’t know who the one on the right is.

[justiceseeker93]

Ping!

[justiceseeker93]

Could the one to the right be Geraldine “The Chin” Ferraro?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

It is common knowledge that the Clintons are corrupt. It is just as much common knowledge that they will never be prosecuted.

[freekitty]

LOL

[justiceseeker93]

It is common knowledge that the Clintons are corrupt.

It is not as common knowledge that the Clintons are violent thugs. Exhibit A: The Vince Foster homicide!
