Clinton Fund-Raising Watch

Advisers to Senator Clinton are now openly blaming a lack of resources for their failure to fight Senator Obama's presidential campaign more aggressively in caucus states and elsewhere. They are also intent on not being outgunned by Mr. Obama in the remaining contests.
To that end, the Clinton campaign has begun another intense round of fund-raising. The Sun reported today on attempts to seek new Jewish, Irish, Asian, and Indian donors. (Yes, we know India is in Asia, but that's the way the Clinton folks described their outreach.)
It's all hands on deck for the Clinton fund-raising operation now. On Tuesday next week, two members of Congress, Kendrick Meek of Florida and Hilda Solis of California, will offer donors of $250 or more "cocktails and conversation" with "senior campaign advisors" to Mrs. Clinton. Mrs. Clinton and President Clinton will also pitch in. On Monday, Mrs. Clinton will host a "Hillary Live!" event at George Washington University in Washington. Tickets were originally $100 a head, but have recently been cut to as low as $25.

President Clinton is spending the next couple of days stumping in Texas, but on Friday he'll jet to Florida, which already voted (sort of), to pick up some cash at three $1,000 and up events. First stop, Boca Raton at the home of a vice chairwoman of the United Jewish Communities, Rani Garfinkle. Also leading that event: a Florida state senator, Ted Deutch and his wife Jill; Tracey Hampton Stein and Mitchell Stein; the Mayor of Palm Beach, Lois Frankel, and Norma Grill, who is the mother of a Washington Post writer, Laura Blumenfeld. Second stop: the Parkland, Fla. home of Michael and Marilyn Moskowitz. Third stop: the Grand Bay Club in Key Biscayne, Fla. Hosts are a family of Miami-area condominium developers, the Defortunas, an international lawyer, Daniel Korn, and a New York-based real estate broker, Kathy Sloane.

Of course, the Clinton campaign's efforts could be dwarfed by a new political group being set up by Clinton backers, the American Leadership Project. It isreportedly seeking $10 million for pro-Clinton ads. That group will not be subject to the $2,300 limit on donations to federal political campaigns and is certain to ignore the $5,000 limit on donations to committees involved in federal elections.

HIDDEN HILLS - President Clinton will slip into the San Fernando Valley and behind the gates of tony Hidden Hills on Sunday evening for a Democratic National Committee fund-raising dinner at the home of campaign donor Tracey Hampton. 

Hampton, owner of a Beverly Hills medical supply company and a relative newcomer to Democratic fund-raising, has given $20,000 this year to Democratic causes, according to Federal Election Commission records. 

Her contributions include $9,000 to first lady Hillary Clinton's New York campaign for the U.S. Senate and $1,000 to Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Woodland Hills, according to FEC documents. 

Hampton could not be reached for comment Friday. 

A congressional source said the Hidden Hills event will be ``very exclusive, very private and very expensive.'' 


Susan McDougal later served 18 months in prison for contempt of court for refusing to answer any questions relating to Whitewater, and was later granted a pardon by President Clinton just before leaving office.
On January 20, 2001, just hours before leaving office, President Clinton granted Rich a highly controversial presidential pardon. It was widely alleged at the time that Rich's pardon had been the result of Denise Rich having given more than $1 million to the Democratic Party, including more than $100,000 to the Senate campaign of Hillary Clinton and $450,000 to the Clinton Library foundation. As far back as 2009, journalist Joe Conason, writing in Salon, had conjectured, “Winning the pardon was a top priority for Israeli officials because Rich had long been a financial and intelligence asset of the Jewish state…” The confidential cable obtained by Judicial Watch is the first solid evidence of the usually close ties between the Israeli government and the fugitive financier.
The bottom line is that the cable raises salient new questions about the depth and breadth of the relationship between Marc Rich and the Israeli government, and it suggests possible new insights into the motivations behind the scandalous last-minute pardon granted by Bill Clinton. Ambassador Indyk should now disclose what he knows about the Rich pardon, as should John Podesta, Eric Holder, and Hillary Clinton – all high-level Obama appointees embroiled in the Rich pardon scandal.
