Peter Paul

Neither a landmark civil suit for fraud, an FEC complaint for fraud, press conferences in Beverly Hills and the National Press Club in Washington attended by DNC representatives, a Robert Novak article syndicated in 300 newspapers, a demand letter hand delivered to her Senate chambers, nor a special ABC 20/20 half hour television expose, all detailing Hillary's role in the largest campaign finance fraud on record, could deter Hillary from allowing a third fraudulent FEC report to be filed by her Senate campaign treasurer on the last day of July, 2001.

Now, all of the principal allegations that were made, in every way possible in 2000, have been corroborated in the first ever indictment and trial of a Senator's finance director for election fraud. The FBI has submitted an affidavit confirming that Peter Paul personally contributed more than $1.2 million to Hillary's 2000 Senate campaign. The FBI confirmed that the contributions he made were hidden by Hillary's campaign and never reported, making the contributions illegal per se. Yet Hillary, and her campaign treasurer Andrew Grossman, continue to this day to defy the law that requires her campaign (at her direction, as the candidate with personal knowledge of the fraud) to correct the three false FEC returns and immediately refund the contribution that they now know is illegal.

Even after a formal ethics complaint was filed with the Senate in May, 2005, no one in the Senate, in the Democratic or Republican Parties, in the Justice Department or in the media, has demanded an explanation from the 2008 candidate for President as to why she refuses to correct false FEC returns and refund illegal contributions! No one has raised any public concern regarding why Hillary Clinton is exempt from any accountability for a camapign fraud that dwarfs anything alleged against Tom DeLay, indicted in Texas, and Governor Taft of Ohio, who was forced to plead to a misdemeanor for failing to report golf fees paid by a supporter.

I will reiterate what I said in my letter to Hillary on July 16, 2001, a voice crying in the wilderness,

"Rather than perpetuating the signature Clinton ethic of denial, semantical and rhetorical responses to valid requests and questions, and stonewalling, it is time to accept your responsibility as a Federal elected official and do the right thing according to the letter of the law, the position your campaign spokespeople have taken, and natural laws of right and ethical conduct, and return the contributions I made, which you have by your collective actions, made illegal. Please direct your refund to my counsel."

I was advised by the FEC a few weeks ago that the investigation surrounding my 2001 FEC complaint against Hillary has now been completed as far as my role in the matter is concerned, and I have been exonerated. I am directed to hold in confidence the fact that the investigation is ongoing into the other respondents.(Hillary and her Senate campaign). History will judge what will come of the five year FEC investigation, in the meantime, all Americans should feel very insecure with the knowledge that Hillary Clinton has now demonstrated, in this case more than any other, that she has reached a position of power that has solidly placed her above the law and above media scrutiny and accountability for obeying the law.

Now, four and one half years later, only months before Hillary will be totally immunized from prosecution by the tolling of the staute of limitations, Hillary continues to refuse to obey the law. No one is challenging her on the issue.
