From FOX NEWS:
| Quote: | Clinton Fundraiser Acquitted of Fundraising Charges
Friday, May 27, 2005
LOS ANGELES — The former national finance director for Hillary Rodham Clinton's (search) Senate campaign was acquitted Friday of lying to the government about a lavish 2000 Hollywood fundraising gala.
David Rosen (search) was charged with two counts of making false statements to the Federal Election Commission about the cost of the star-studded gala, which attracted such celebrities as Cher, Melissa Ethridge, Toni Braxton, Diana Ross, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.
The jury deliberated about six hours before reaching its verdict.
Clinton was not charged, but Republicans closely monitored the trial, hoping fallout from it might damage the New York Democrat's 2006 re-election bid and scuttle any hopes for a possible presidential campaign in 2008.
Prosecutors said Rosen, 38, panicked over the mounting costs for the fundraiser and lied to conceal its true cost from both the Clinton campaign and the government. They said Clinton was unaware of any wrongdoing.
Prosecutors said he filed a federal campaign finance report to claim "in-kind" contributions of about $400,000, when he knew that actual contributions for the event exceeded $1.1 million.... MORE |
We had to expect this. An L.A. jury could never understand the complexity of the campaign finance law. (remember the OJ trial) Not playing the race card, but the same mentality. He worked for Hillary, so we must acquit.

Well Hell's Bell's, Shazaam, the judge was appointed by none other than Der Schlickmeister. What else would the outcome be?

| Maybe the jury believes that Rosen could not have don't this on his own, and that bigger fish are involved... |
