Oops, Hillary Did It Again
January 17, 2006
How can Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton pretend that her campaign’s $721,895 understatement of the costs of the key fund-raising event of her 2000 Senate race was just a bookkeeping error for which the candidate bears no responsibility? Will her campaign’s $35,000 civil fine be all the punishment for this massive flouting of the campaign-finance law?
Remember what happened: Hillary’s GOP opponent, Rep. Rick Lazio, had challenged the first lady to put her money where her mouth was and refuse to accept soft money (large, essentially unregulated donations) to fund her Senate race. If she abstained, he said, he would also.
Hillary had always condemned soft money, and the Clinton administration had pressed hard for its elimination. But most of her money in the 2000 race was soft — the result of large checks written by people who had who had slept in the Lincoln Bedroom or otherwise been feted at the White House, Camp David, Air Force One, etc.
Hillary had defended her receipt of soft money by noting that Lazio was doing the same. But with her opponent offering a joint ban, she must have known she’d soon have to agree.
That’s when she and Bill arranged for a huge Hollywood fundraiser to rake in hard money.
This affair was arranged and orchestrated by Peter Paul (who is now suing Hillary and Bill Clinton). It succeeded in raising millions in hard money — but the costs of staging it proved much higher than expected.
