Wolfson Schools the Press Corps

Why does anyone care what Howard Wolfson has to say. He is a liar and a thug. Where are the tough questions for Wolfson and Clinton over the 2000 Hollywood Gala Fundraiser? The New York Senate 2000 Joint Committee to get Hillary elected was found guilty and fined by the FEC ...Not a word about that, though. Wolfson knew then that Peter Paul donated over a million for that event, participated in conference calls before the event, and even admitted that the event cost over a million dollars, and yet when it was exposed that Peter Paul was an ex-convict the Clintons through Wolfson claimed that Paul only donated 2000.00 and returned that is the amount they returned. ...Then! They turned around and requested a couple of hundred thousand more from Paul after they had distanced themselves from him in the press. ...So why are we listening to anything the Clintons or Wolfson has to say about election integrity and bad associations? ...Perhaps it is because they know, first hand, of what they speak.

Report: NAFTA-Gate Leaker Said Hillary's People Were Reassuring Canada, Too
By Eric Kleefeld - March 5, 2008, 11:33PM
The NAFTA-Gate controversy has taken another turn, one that could potentially boomerang back on Hillary Clinton after initially damaging Barack Obama.

The Canadian Press — Canada's domestic equivalent of the AP — is reporting that the original source of the leak was Ian Brodie, chief of staff to Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper. And as it turns out, Brodie's original conversation with reporters focused much more on Hillary as the candidate whose people were reassuring Canada that the anti-trade rhetoric was all just campaign talk.

"He said someone from Clinton's campaign is telling the Embassy to take it with a grain of salt," said one participant in the conversation. The source added, "someone called us and told us not to worry."

Hillary's people were able to use NAFTA-Gate very effectively in questioning Obama's honesty in the Ohio and Texas campaigns, ultimately pulling off some decent wins. But if this thing doesn't die down, and the focus turns from Obama over to Hillary, they could very well see the story come back to bite them.

Clinton folks are truly desperate. This rezco story has been rehashed and rehashed since obama announced his candicacy for president over a year ago. In fact I even read a story talking about it almost 3 years ago. I have read at least 10 different stories on this..THERE IS NOTHING THERE!!! Obama admitted being friends with this guy, buying property with this guy and he realized that it was a boneheaded mistake and has returned all the money to charity...As hillary supporters like to say..WHERE IS THE BEEF?? Obama isn't on trial for doing anything illegal. He is just one of the small people on the totem pole of rezco illegal dealing with billionaires in other coutries. I have no doubt that everything has been on the up and up with Barack. I trust him and I know that he and his campaign folks knows that if he did anything illegal or if anything negative or conflicted accounts come out over what he has said that it will hurt him. I am confident that he has been telling us the truth.

If "Wolfson is not wrong here," then why no answers from ABC and other news organizations? The NYT finally did a story today (3/2) on the Rezko trial, which begins tomorrow, but buried it on page 25.

Here is one answer many people don't know: Who is listed as "Political Candidate A" in the indictment? Answer: Obama.

(As a contast to the NYT's burying of the story, its McCain lobbying scandal story appeared on the front page.)

According to the Chicago media, Obama has refused to sit for an interview to answer any of these questions. Is that acceptable? Would you let Hillary get away with that? I think you know the answer to that.

Did anyone ask Wolfson where Hillary's tax returns are? How about who are the investors in the Clinton Library? What about Bill Clinton's friendship with Karl Rove? Or Hillary's $170,000 donation from the company with the sexual harrassment suit? Come on people, don't be fooled by Hillary's cronies. Clinton campaign motto- Admit nothing, deny everything, make counter-accusations.

Not sure how "melodic" Mr. Wolfson's diabtribe was...the link suspiciously already expired...but as far as the transcript goes, it sound more frantic than anything else. I guess I'd be frantic if I were Mr. Wolfson too, after all the gravy train he's been on for the last year and a half is about to be decomissioned...and since he's been bilking Sen. Clinton's supporters to the tune of $250,000+ a month for mismanaging her campaign, his anxiety is understandable...he's standing to personally lose out on more than 1 1/2 million dollars...

I read the newsday article. I also read an article about Larry Sinclair. I think both parties had ulterior motives making their stories lack credability.

Apples to Oranges. Hsu is a convicted bail jumping criminal the law finally ran down and put in prison. We don't know how much he gave the Clinton's. I believe Hillary did return some Hsu money when she was busted. It is hard to say how much money the Clinton's have and where it came from. I don't really care, I guess they earned it one way or the other. Rezko has not been convicted of any thing and the money he gave to Obama was given to charity. Hillery really doesn't want to talk about money, or maybe she does. If so she can begin by disclosing her Tax Returns, Clinton Library White House Papers for openers.

I am as as sick of Hillary as anyone and as open to voting for Obama. But you kool-aid drinkers who mindlessly refuse to see the free ride that Obama is receiving are doing neither him nor the country good. Everyone else (which is 80+ percent of the populace) is concerned about the free ride and will not trust Obama until it ends. But you keep insisting it never started, and think if you shout loud enough people will believe you. How bloody blind can you be?

Now the "trial" begins is an understatement. Criminal cross-examinations are often less dogged.

I just LOVE General McPeek's comments that, if you want to know how a person is going to respond to being the commander-in-chief in a war, look to how they operate under the pressure of running for president. Do they show signs of panicking? Are they firing staff? Are they attacking their opponent for not having the experience that they don't have either?

WOW... desperation is an ugly color Hillary Clinton... Rezko Rezko Rezko... is that all you have? And as for the lady at the top... why didn't he come out drug free? I defy you to tell me at least half the American population has never smoked pot, including Bill "I didn't inhale/I never had sexual relations with that woman" Clinton. As for lies and double talk, the Clinton's take the cake. Every time I see Hillary on TV/internet she has a different personality for whoever she is talking to. No more, we deserve more... she needs to hang up the pant-suits so we can beat McCain.

...and Steve... where is the statistic that say those 90% of Baracks donors didn't give under 200 dollars...I don't see it in those numbers you gave ...those are just dollar amounts...they don't address the percentages and where they came from...

I mean if that is true you should put that statistic up... (which I am surprised you can say hillary did...I would like to see those numbers though just for my own balance)

90%

Obama has lied about the percentage of small donations which have been made to his campaign and the Federal Election Commission figures are nothing like Obama states. He gets around 70% from big business. This statement is a lie. Hillary has now raised 90 percent of our donations from small donors, $25, $50.

Only 34 percent of Obama donors were under $200. How and where is BHO coming up with 90 percent?

He is a LIAR

Beautiful piece. Who needs the Clinton PR staff, when the mainstream press does their job for them?

So Wolfson will now tell the media what they should do?

WOW! Hasnt he done enough damage to the Clinton campaign already and to the nature of clean politics..that he now intends to decide what the media should do, and dont tell me the media is sitting there and watching Wolfson tell them what to do?

These Obama supporters are classless and reckless. They are littering in the Internet and intimidating. Obama should "reject and denounse" these supporters.

Obama claims he has better judgement, then show the world that he did have better judgement re: Rezco. If he has better judgement, why didn't he pay for the parking tickets to City of Cambridge where he studied law as an adult for over 10 years? Why didn't he come out drug free? why does he have this free ride? I am disturbed by these Obama supporters that you can count on me not voting for this man regardless he is democratic nominee or not!

The link to the audio version of the telephone call at the bottom of the article has already been destroyed. Wow, these Obama people react quickly. Well, at least the article itself is still there for interested persons to see.

Man, and Clinton supporters used to say Obama was whiny. All that comes out of Clinton HQ lately is one long whiiiiiiiine.

Texas and Ohio voters, please put all out us out of our misery and hand her ass to her.

I started out this campaign as a Clinton supporter but I just can't stand her anymore.

Dear Obama-yikes,
In that case, since ALL of the truths need to be told, there's one other story that isn't getting out much either.
Every woman in this country needs to google "Clinton" and "$170,000", and read that story.
She sold out every woman in America on that one, and somehow, it's just been magically buried.

Yes, we already know everything about Hillary becuase she has already been vetted.

We know the Clintons are hiding her tax return.

We know the Clintons are hiding her White House papers.

We know that the Republicans will run against issues that Obama would not raise, such as the definition of is, and travel gate, and whitewater, and Vince Foster, and the failure to take out Bin Laden, and who Bill has not been having sex with since he left the White House.

We already know all we need to know about Hillary.
