Why did Camp Hillary turn in false figures about the Hollywood gala?
Here’s why David Rosen would have done it: If the real cost of the event were $1.2 million instead of $400,000, the campaign would have had to use hard money to make up the difference. The Hillary Clinton campaign would have had $800,000 less of hard money to spend running TV ads and funding get-out-the-vote operations.
And, at the time of that fund-raiser, Rick Lazio, the GOP candidate, had challenged Hillary to refuse to accept soft money. He found himself awash in hard money ” small checks from Hillary haters across the country. But First Lady Hillary Clinton was heavily dependent on large checks from fat-cat donors whom she and the president wined, dined, photographed, and hosted at the White House. And these folks gave a lot more than $1,000 each. (At the time soft money was far easier to raise: Donors could give up to $25,000 of soft money, but only $1,000 of hard money).
Hillary temporized and delayed, but the handwriting was on the wall. On Sept. 24, the candidates agreed on a soft-money ban. Now she had to pay for it all with hard money. And she was hard up for hard money.
So if Rosen had owned up to the full cost of the fundraiser, the campaign would have had to cough up $800,000 of hard money at exactly the time that it needed the funds the most.
Did Hillary know? Paul and Aaron Tonkin say she did, and it seems obvious that she must have: Hillary followed every dime in her campaign, personally calling donors for most of it. How could she possibly not have known of a decision that saved her $800,000?
The only person who really knows if Hillary knew is David Rosen. He is facing time in prison if convicted – - will he do the time and never tell what really happened? Or will some stink finally stick to a Clinton?
Why do I hear of a Presidential pardon being promised here.
Pardons or what? dont forget that while bill was sub president under hillary he pardoned porta rican terrorists to get votes from them becuase he is afraid of her:eek:
Why did Camp Hillary turn in false figures about the Hollywood gala?
because, like the Republicans, they don’t care about campaign finance laws (if they can get away with bending or avoiding them) and are ignoble when it comes to fund raising, like the Republicans.
like Claude Raines in “Casablanca” when he’s told there’s gambling going on in Rick’s back room, he’s “shocked. shocked I say!”
is that how you’d feel if the shoe were on the other foot & Republicans were caught with their hand in the cookie jar, as they have been?
would you really be “shocked”?
None of us are shocked shi. We are waiting for this to unfold into yet another Clinton scandal. The “friend” takes the fall. the Clintons are “shocked” “shocked I tell you”
once again, substitute for ‘the Clintons’ the Republicans in the past that have let minions & partners take the fall & we find we have more in common in certain areas that we would like to believe, sometimes.
how many people in both parties have resigned before the fire got too hot in order to ‘spend more time with their families’? how many deals have been struck that said, ‘leave voluntarily & we won’t hold you up to public disgrace’?
corrupt political whores know no party.
“Or will some stink finally stick to a Clinton?”,
it reads above. i thought there was a whole lot of stink already attached. but there’s always room for more for those who want to feel better about those who don’t have as much attached to them.
the amount of stink is relative.
5- In this case we are talking about the Clintons aren’t we? We don’t have a Republican name to substitute the Clinton name with, do we?
Shitloh refuses to address anything…just attack republicans….attack attack attack.
Hillary is a carpetbagging crook..
Shitloh: Oh yeah, what about the republicans!
Ted Kennedy is a drunken killer
Shitloh: oh yeah, what about Tom DeLay!!!
Like a broken F-ing record.
mike – calling me a broken record is like me calling you a broken record.
once our principles are stated & our character revealed, it does get a little repetitive. would you rather i start supporting things i don’t believe in so you can be tickled & amused?
hold your breath & i’ll hold mine.
you still holding your breath? Or are you back to wasting oxygen that the rest of could have?
..and besides hating republicans, america, and the military…I see no principles coming from you.
..and besides hating republicans, america, and the military…I see no principles coming from you.
Shiloh is right though.
The Republicans and Democrats are different sides of the same coin.
Ted
i don’t
a. hate Republicans
b. hate the military
c. hate America
that takes care of correcting the record re: me.
who do you hate?
Clinton?
Kennedy?
poor people?
Muslims?
people who disagree with your positions?
this is all rhetorical, mike. i really don’t care when you’re in your insult mode.
who do you hate?
Clinton?
Yes, for lying and allowing americans to be killed.
Kennedy?
Yes, for killing.
poor people?
NOt really their fault that People like shitloh want to keep them dependent on Big government for ring dings and ho-hos..but they could stand to work for a friggin’ day.
Muslims?
No, only animal muslims.
Any more questions?????
the last 2 lines of this forum post above is a rhetorical trap.
” He is facing time in prison if convicted – – will he do the time and never tell what really happened? Or will some stink finally stick to a Clinton?”
the last sentence is a masterpiece. the implication seems to me to be, if he’s found not guilty, Hillary will “get away” with something again.
in this country, if one is found not guilty, there is NOTHING TO STICK. will something stick to Tom DeLay? that question, you can be sure, will never, ever be asked on this web site.
& just for fun:
Mrs. Clinton’s Former Top Fund-Raiser Is Acquitted of False-Filing Chargesï‚·
Published: May 28, 2005
LOS ANGELES, May 27 – A federal jury on Friday acquitted David F. Rosen, the chief fund-raiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 2000 United States Senate campaign, of charges that he caused false filings to be made to the Federal Election Commission.
i know the fact that this guy was not convicted is a disappointment for some, because they had a partisan interest in him being guilty.
guilty until proved innocent is NOT the American way. well, apparently in some places, it’s a popular philosophy if you don’t agree with their politics.
bigotry.
