Clinton's Carnival of Corruption Continues
I am considering creading a blog category just for Clinton since he's been in the news so much lately trying to salvage anything he had of a legacy.
Anyway, he is being accused of more sleeze by a former associate. To be honest, I think that Clinton gets accused of a lot of things he probably had nothing to do with, but that is what happens when everyone you know is shady.
Bill Clinton's longtime attorney David Kendall is accused of filing a fabricated statement in a court brief to quash a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against the former president.
In legal pleadings filed this week with Los Angeles Superior Court, business mogul Peter Franklin Paul claims Kendall cobbled together two unrelated quotes from a March 2005 federal court hearing in an attempt to pin on Paul the very charge Paul is making against Clinton.
As WND has reported, Paul claims Clinton destroyed his entertainment company, Stan Lee Media, to get out of a $17 million deal in which the former president promised to promote the firm in exchange for Paul's massive contributions to Sen. Hillary Clinton's 2000 campaign. Paul alleges specifically that Bill Clinton's agent diverted a key investment away from Stan Lee Media – a partnership with the creator of Marvel Comics' Spiderman – causing it to fold amid the dot-com meltdown in December 2000.
A hearing on Paul's second amended complaint in the lawsuit is scheduled Monday morning in Los Angeles.
Paul alleges that after he donated $1.9 million of cash and in-kind contributions for Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign, Bill Clinton directed his associate, Jim Levin, to convince Paul's Japanese partner – in violation of a confidentiality agreement – to incorporate a new company instead of investing another $5 million with Paul. The loss of that badly needed capital ultimately caused Stan Lee Media to fold, Paul maintains.
Oh, this is about campaign contributions...his track record here is pretty bad.
