Peter Paul's Letter to the Washington Post
October 11, 2005
Editors of the Washington Post
Re: House of Cards, Washington Post Sunday Magazine, October 9, 2005
I was elated to learn that the Post editors assigned a Pulitzer Prize nominated "investigative" reporter to finally report all the facts surrounding the campaign finance fraud that Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign committed in 2000. (see www.hillcap.org)
Since I am both the contributor of the more than $1.2 million in unreported contributions at the heart of the criminal charges brought by the Justice Department against Hillary's finance director David Rosen, and the whistle blower whose civil fraud suit against the Clinton's led to Rosen's indictment, I had more than a passing interest in the truth finally being published by a "paper of record".
You can not imagine my disappointment upon reading "House of Cards" the 8000 word tabloid style white wash of the role played by Hillary Clinton in inducing and directing the largest campaign finance fraud on record.
As you can see from the two email requests I made to April Witt, (appended below) after spending twelve hours on the phone in interviews with her for the story, I valiantly tried to ensure that the basic facts that are reflected throughout the public record, including your own newspaper, were included in her story. Amazingly, April would refused all my requests.
She would not even refer to the scoop by the Post's then reporter Lloyd Grove, of Hillary Clinton's spokesman's admission that they knew the Gala fund raiser I produced for her in August, 2000, "cost more than $1 million and was an in kind contribution".
This admission is extremely important to understand the significance of the first of three fraudulent FEC reports filed by Hillary's campaign two months later, three weeks before her election. That FEC report intentionally misled the FEC, and the voters who relied on it, regarding the amount I personally contributed (more than $1.2 million according to the Office of Public Integrity's case in chief against Rosen), and the fact that I personally was the donor, not my public company.
This omission regarding a "smoking gun" that your own paper uncovered, as well as the others described in my emails, demonstrate the most outrageous effort to protect and advocate for Hillary Clinton that I have yet seen in the Mainstream Media. It even trumps the New York Times’ February, 2005, 2200 word attack piece on me that blamed the "felonious" donor (me) for making the largest donation of Hillary's campaign, and then demanding that it be legally reported.
I would hope that when your editorial board reviews the facts presented in my emails to April Witt, that you would make some effort to amend your 8000 word "romance epic" to include the most salient facts of the story, even though they may raise legitimate questions about how Hillary induced me to become her largest contributor, hid the fact from the voters of New York through deceptive statements made through your paper on August 15 and August 17, 2000, and then enabled three fraudulent FEC reports to be filed, while making no effort to correct them for the last five years, or to refund the undisputed illegal contribution of more than $1.2 million as corroborated by the FBI.
As a candidate, and now the elected Senator from New York, she has a continuing legal duty to ensure that all reports made by her campaign to federal agencies like the FEC and IRS, are accurate and that any illegal contributions are returned within thirty days of notice of their illegality. All of which
Hillary continues to defy. No one from Hillary’s campaign has yet to contact me about the evidence I have been supplying to Hillary since June 28, 2001, confirming what the FBI has stated in its own affidavits, that I personally contributed more than $1.2 million to Hillary’s 2000 Senate campaign.
Please review the attached emails and act in accordance with your solemn responsibility as a leading member of the Fourth Estate to ensure the public is honestly and accurately informed of the actions of their public servants and elected officials, so they can make educated decisions on exercising their constitutional rights to vote and petition their government with grievances.
Very Truly,
Peter Paul

Rosen Trial Verdict Sets Stage for Paul Civil Suit
The first ever civil suit to charge a U.S. President and Senator with fraud, coercion and conspiracy was given a major boost during the recent trial of David Rosen, former National Finance Director of Hillary Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign, when the Justice Department corroborated several key allegations of the civil suit with no challenge from the defense. Among them: that Plaintiff Peter Paul contributed more than $1.2 million of his personal funds to Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign as part of an attempt to involve Bill Clinton in Paul's internet businesses after he left the White House, and that the co-defendants in the civil suit were acting on behalf of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
David Rosen was acquitted of two felony counts that he "knowingly and willfully caused to be made materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent statements" to the Federal Election Commission. Although the prosecution failed to prove its case that Rosen was responsible for the FEC filings, the trial did provide detailed evidence that the Clinton campaign's FEC statements were in fact false. Peter Paul's civil suit now becomes the only way to compel sworn testimony from Hillary Clinton about her role in the most massive fraud ever charged against an American political campaign.
The criminal charges against Rosen stemmed from the largest fundraiser on behalf of Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign. The August 12, 2000 Hollywood Gala Salute to President Clinton featured performances by Cher, Diana Ross, Toni Braxton, Patti LaBelle, Melissa Etheridge, Sugar Ray and Michael Bolton. The event cost organizer Peter Paul more than $1.2 million to host, and raised $1 million in "hard money" contributions. By falsely reporting those costs as $401,419, the Clinton campaign avoided paying at least $800,000 in hard money -- not including the fair market value of the performances -- during the crucial final weeks before the election. If Paul's contribution had been reported fully as required by law, it could have bankrupted the campaign.
Peter Paul's extensive evidence, which we are organizing and presenting on this site, shows clearly that Hillary Clinton knew of the actions taken by her finance director, and that she orchestrated those actions and others in violation of federal campaign statutes and regulations.
Mr. Paul is being represented in his lawsuit against the Clintons by the U.S. Justice Foundation, which has formed the Hillary Clinton Accountability Project to put the facts of the largest and least reported campaign finance scandal in history before the American people.
