Legal Issues By Fred Lucas

(CNSNews.com) - The legal and political implications of a Hollywood mogul's lawsuit against Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton are not yet clear, but legal experts are not holding their breath.

In some ways, it's old news with a new twist. The alleged corruption in high places occurred in 2000, when the then-first lady was seeking her first term as a U.S. senator from New York. That's when Hollywood mainstay Peter Paul produced a fundraising event that he says amounted to a nearly $2 million in-kind campaign contribution.

Paul at the time was majority co-owner, with comic book icon Stan Lee, of a publicly-traded Internet company, Stan Lee Media. The company later collapsed -- as did Paul's relationship with Bill and Hillary Clinton.

What is new is the potentially incriminating videotape of Hillary Clinton speaking with Paul, Lee and director Aaron Tonkin in the summer of 2000 about the forthcoming fundraiser, which featured such celebrities as Cher, Diana Ross and Brad Pitt.

The star-studded August 2000 event was later deemed to be a violation of federal campaign finance laws: The Clinton campaign had to pay a $35,000 fine to the Federal Elections Committee. Clinton's campaign finance director David Rosen was accused of lying to the FEC, indicted, but eventually acquitted.

Throughout, Clinton's staff said she played no role in planning the fundraiser. Yet the tape depicts Clinton expressing enthusiasm about the event and telling Paul to contact her aide any time to further plan details.

Her whole life is a fraud!

Are you actually quoting CNSNews.com as a credible source?
PLEASE, at least put in a disclaimer as to the nature of the news "source".

Cybercast News Service (it changed it's name from CONSERVATIVE News Service in 2000) is a propaganda mouthpiece for the Republican Party and the whacko evangelical right wing.
The previous editor simultaneously worked as the chief of radio operations for the Republican National Committee, and the current editor-in-chief was Pat Robertson's national campaign manager in his 1996 campaign.
This is the rag that smeared John Murtha by trying to do a 'Swiftboat Liars' job on his service record.

Any wingnut alarm bells going off yet?
:roll:

Hey, that is great and fine if you want to slam his source, but the story IS elsewhere, and has been for years. In fact, there is a big ol video on it.

Care to comment on the subject?

I think Peter Paul is a spinster, and he is the least of Hillary's worries when it comes to her corruption. He was discredited in the courts, and thus it is really a moot point. But one I visit occasionally, because Stan Lee was given the shaft without courtesy of a reacharound...

no comic fan should be able to sleep at night if they vote for a clinton.
