Default Here's a real shocker!!!!!!!!!

- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's former finance director has been indicted on charges of causing false campaign finance reports to be filed with the Federal Election Commission, the Justice Department said Friday.

The indictment of David Rosen, unsealed in Los Angeles, focuses on his fund-raising for an Aug. 12, 2000, gala for Clinton in Los Angeles. The New York Democrat was still first lady at the time.

While the event allegedly cost more than $1.2 million, the indictment said, Rosen reported contributions of about $400,000, knowing the figure to be false.

The indictment charged that Rosen provided some documents to the an FEC compliance officer but withheld the true costs of the event and provided false documents to substantiate the lower figure.

In one instance, Rosen obtained and delivered a fraudulent invoice stating the cost of a concert associated with the gala was $200,000 when he know that figure was false, according to the indictment. The actual cost of the concert was more than $600,000.

Each of the four counts of making a false statement carries a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines upon conviction

99% of politicians are scumbags. This doesn't surprise me in the least.

You meant "shocker" in a sarcastic way, didn't you? Because this shouldn't come as any surprise, in fact, there will probably be a lot more of this in the next few years.

From what I hear, Hillary KNEW about it because she helped negotiate the price herself. That SHOULD harm her by revealing what a scum bag she is, but she has survived worse scandals that she was a part of, so I wouldn't bet on it.
