Hillary gets herself in campaign finance trouble
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites)'s former finance director has been indicted on charges of filing fictitious reports that misstated contributions for a Hollywood fund-raising gala for the senator, the Justice Department (news - web sites) said Friday. Normally, I wouldn't be surprised by a campaign finance indictment, simply because the law is so damned confusing that it's almost impossible to follow. I don't think campaign finance laws are constitutional, in any event. But this indictment managed to surprise me because it alleges deliberate falsification of documents. And unless Hillary is preparing her legal team to take this case all the way to a Supreme Court that has already ruled the campaign finance laws Constitutional, well, it won't help her image much. On a slightly different note, why is Hillary Clinton holding fundraisers in Hollywood, when her Senate seat is from New York? |
