FEC Complaint Filed To Cancel Hillary Clinton 2006 Immunity Deal

New Evidence Offered of Hillary Clinton’s Admissions To Raising


Illegal Funds

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton, Harold Ickes
and the Hillary Clinton for U.S. Senate Committee, Inc. have become the
subjects of a new Federal Election Commission Complaint filed today.

An original FEC complaint was filed against then-Senator Clinton and her
agents including President Clinton, DNC Chair Ed Rendell, Finance Director
David Rosen and Treasurer Andrew Grossman in July 2001. It detailed the
facts surrounding the illegal solicitation and false reporting of more than $1.9
million expended by Hollywood dot-com millionaire Peter Paul at the request
and direction of Senator Clinton and her agents. It resulted in the indictment
and trial on three counts of FEC fraud of David Rosen, Hillary Clinton's
National Finance Director, in 2005 and the Fine and Conciliation
Agreement with Andrew Grossman as Treasurer of the New York Senate 2000
Joint Fundraising committee that hosted the largest fundraising event of
Hillary Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign.

The January 2006 "confidential" FEC conciliation agreement included the


immunization of Hillary and Bill Clinton and others associated with Hillary
Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign from further investigation by the FEC,
subject to the filing of a fourth corrected, accurate FEC Report on January
30, 2006, that legally reports the $1.2 million plus expenditure contributed
by Peter Paul.

The new FEC complaint presents evidence that Hillary Clinton and her
campaign have filed yet another false FEC report that would violate the
Conciliation agreement and compel the FEC to void its grant of immunity to
Hillary Clinton and resume its unfinished investigation based on the new
evidence. As the complaint concludes:

"The false reporting of [Paul's 1.2 million] expenditures as nonfederal


contributions to New York Senate 2000 was and is a violation of the reporting
requirements of 2 U.S.C. Section 434(b). The activities of [Hillary Clinton and
the other Respondents] in making false statements which resulted in such
contributions’ being improperly reported as nonfederal contributions to New
York Senate 2000 violated 18 U.S.C. Section 1001 (false statements) and/or
18 U.S.C. Section 2 (aiding and abetting)."

When the FEC previously decided to close its file as to Hillary Clinton, it
stated that, “Any potential liability of Senator Clinton would be based on
whether she knowingly accepted prohibited or excessive in-kind corporate
contributions.” Such evidence was lacking then, but not now. Ironically
enough, in the context of defending against Peter Paul’s fraud complaint in
Los Angeles Superior Court, Hillary Clinton and her agents, David Rosen and
James Levin have filed written statements under oath that prove Mrs. Clinton
knowingly accepted prohibited, excessive contributions in connection with
Event 39, by soliciting, directing and coordinating Mr. Paul’s underwriting of
this event.

The significance of the new evidence was explained by California Attorney D.


Colette Wilson on behalf of Clinton's "unreported" donor, Peter Paul:

“The filing presents new evidence -- out of the mouths of Hillary herself and
her agents -- proving that Hillary lied when she said her largest campaign
fundraising event --Event 39-- wasn't a Hillary Clinton for Senate event.
That's ALL it was. This new evidence proves it was a sham to claim that it
was a Democratic party event, in order to get away with claiming that Peter
Paul’s expenditures were soft money donated to her Joint Fundraising
Committee, New York Senate 2000, rather than federally proscribed, hard
money to Hillary Clinton for Senate, the intended beneficiary.”
