Curmudgeonly & Skeptical presents Boned Jello

My brain's been pestering me to do the remarkable comparison between Hillary Clinton's Peter Paul case, and Robert "The Torch" Torricelli's David Chang caper. This morning I gave in to brain and started collecting data. Whoa. It seems my brain's been down that road before. Like 5 years ago.

Holy crap. This thing has been in the works that long? Since I started, allow me to continue. There are updates. BTW, I believe this sword hanging over Hillary's head is one of the reasons Democrats invented Barrack Obama.
Let's compare.

The Torch

Korean-American businessman David Chang was already serving a federal prison sentence for making illegal campaign contributions to Torricelli’s 1996 campaign.

Sen. Robert Torricelli, despite being accused of accepting money from a man already convicted of giving him that money, blithely ran for re-election. Finally, but only after polls showed the Torch would lose to the Republican challenger Doug Forrester, did the democrat party "convince" him to bow out. The Torch was never prosecuted.

Her Filthiness

Hollywood mogul Peter Paul has multiple convictions for everything from drugs to securities fraud. Like every other well heeled crook at the time, he was trying for a Clinton pardon. His method of payment: funneling illegal campaign contributions to Hillary. He ran a fundraiser,nominally to thank Bill for his great presidency, but in reality for Hilly.

Two days after the gala, the Washington Post publicized Paul's criminal record, and Hillary Clinton denied knowing Paul and "vowed not to take any contributions from him". Through her official spokesman, Howard Wolfson, Hillary stated on August 16, 2000 that she would return $2,000 she reported receiving from Paul in June 2000, and would not have anything further to do with him. [Wikipedia]

It wasn't $2000. It was $700,000, and she didn't return, or report it. Clinton’s National Finance Director David Rosen was indicted over it. Hillary claimed she was not involved in the fund raiser, and knew nothing about it.

Knowingly soliciting a contribution of $25,000 or more is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. In a lawsuit against Hillary, Paul produced a smoking-gun videotape showing Hillary Clinton expressing enthusiasm about the event and telling Paul to contact her aide any time to further plan details. Incredibly, the California courts are so far not allowing that videotape to be used in court, as part of a lawsuit filed by Paul. The national media have ignored the case, so there has been no public outrage. What a surprise

“

Notwithstanding more than six years of consistent allegations made by Hillary’s largest donor that Hillary broke campaign laws and then obstructed all investigations into her illegalities - causing the unnecessary indictment and trial of her campaign functionary, David Rosen for supposedly hiding information from Hillary that she in fact had full knowledge of- Hillary has never been accountable.

”

Incredible. David Rosen, just as Webb Hubbel had earlier, was willing to take prison, and loss of his good name and career, to save a Clinton. Webb was repaid with Riady cash; we don't know yet what Rosen received, (He is still breathing,however).

Paul has a website, peterfpaul.com/ I assume the video we have below is the same video that is not working on his site. Lots of good info there however.
