LOS ANGELES, California - April 28,
2008 - In the landmark
civil
fraud case against Bill Clinton in Los Angeles, where the former President
is charged with defrauding a Hollywood dot com millionaire to help Hillary
Clinton obtain more than $1.2 million from him for her 2000 Senate campaign,
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Aurelio Munoz ruled on Friday, April 25 that Hillary
Clinton would not be required to testify in a sworn deposition as a material
witness in the case until AFTER the November election!
While Bill Clinton, Chelsea
Clinton, Al Gore, Ed Rendell, Barabara Streisand, Cher, Stan Lee, Brad Pitt,
Mike Wallace, Larry King et al may be called to testify and be deposed starting
in May, Hillary alone has been protected from explaining her role in her
husband’s fraud charges.
In an astonishing ruling by the
Judge, Hillary Clinton may NOT be deposed about her role in the illegal
solicitation and cover up of the largest contribution made to her Senate
campaign until after the presidential election.
This is the same contribution
Hillary denied knowing about or receiving when Lloyd Grove of the Washington
Post asked her specifically about it and her relationship with the donor, Peter
Paul, in August 2000. Its the same contribution her finance director David
Rosen was criminally tried in May, 2005, of hiding from her and her campaign.
Its the same contribution the Federal Election Commission fined her campaign for hiding from the voters
in three false FEC reports by her treasurer between 2000-2006. (

Equally surprising as the ruling
was the judge’s request to Hillary defense lawyer David Kendall to “say hello
to his ( Judge Munoz”) friend Bill, also a partner in Kendall’s law firm”.
The decision to shield Hillary
Clinton from civil discovery for an additional seven months, thereby delaying a
long postponed trial, was made by the judge on his own, without any request by
Hillary or her lawyer to make the ruling. No discussion was permitted by Paul’s
lawyer before the decision was made. Judge Munoz’ unilateral decision
effectively saved the floundering campaign and hopes of Hillary Clinton to win
her party’s Presidential nomination!
Had Senator Clinton been forced to
testify under oath, as a material witness and beneficiary of the fraud that her
husband is being sued for before the Democratic Convention, her remote chances
for being nominated the party candidate would have been unquestionably
destroyed.
Hillary has never publicly commented on the case in
which she was a defendant from 2003-2006. Nor has she ever commented on the
videotaped phone call she made to Peter Paul the day he began spending more
than $1 million for her Senate campaign, the false statements she made through
Howard Wolfson to the Washington Post denying working with Paul or receiving
any contributions from him, the sworn Declaration she made under oath where she
refused to deny any of Paul’s allegations, the role her White House aide Kelly
Craighead played in coordinating Paul’s expenditures and befriending Paul’s
Japanese business partner during a White House visit and many other unanswered
questions of illegal conduct.
