Barely a week after questions emerged about suspicious donations to Sen. Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, a three-judge panel in California will hear arguments Friday regarding an illegal fundraising event from her 2000 Senate campaign.
The California Court of Appeals, Second Appellate District, will hear arguments about whether Clinton, a New York senator and leading Democratic presidential candidate, should be a defendant in a lawsuit brought by Hollywood mogul Peter Paul.
Attorneys for each side will also debate the inclusion of a videotape as evidence — a video in which Clinton can be heard apparently agreeing to plan a fundraiser, which was later determined to be illegal by the Federal Elections Commission (FEC).
This goes to what I said the other day [2] about the uselessness of the Federal election commission. The illegality in question occurred seven years ago. They’re still arguing about the place settings, these people.
