Excerpt:
Remember the "Hollywood gala" thrown for Pres Bill Clinton. At the time, the media portrayed it as an outpouring of love for the Clintons. Yeah right. This movie explores the natural affinity Hollywood celebrity has with power. It also explores the sums of money involved in throwing events like this together.
In fact, the gala was for the sole purpose of getting dry gunpowder (ie funds) for Hillary's upcoming (as yet unknown to the public) Senate bid from New York (the state was also unknown at that time). Well this documentary is told by THE guy who set up and produced that "gala".
Along the way, viewers get near "open-mic" or "open-lens" views of Hillary's fund raising. Watching this production made clear, to me at least, one of Hillary's "tells": when she opens her eyes up wide open, she's likely dissembling. This movie takes you behind the mystique and public persona of the Clintons, as told by someone who donated lots of money to Bill and Hillary, in return for what he thought would be the legitimate furtherance of a sound business, only to wind up being sucker punched just a day later by a gossipy (but true) press expose from the Washington Post. Watch as the protagonist goes from appearing to be consummate inside fund-raiser and savvy rainmaker to low-life pariah and convict in 2 days straight!
Then the real harrowing story begins for Mr Paul. He finds himself under sudden long term imprisonment in Brazil (of all jurisdictions!) During which, he finds himself declared as a "fugitive from justice" in the US rendering him defeats in his pending civil suits filed in the US! His business plans, like the business, go bankrupt. His former investment partner is now courted and effectively "married" to other Clinton business vehicles.
Also, as Mr Paul tries to clear his name by bringing suit against Hillary, he is dumbfounded to watch as the prosecutor and judge side with the defense (ie. Hillary) before the trial begins, influencing the jury right at the start!
What does it take to get a little justice? To be fair, there was some scandal associated with the protagonist in his earlier business dealings in Florida during the Nafta hey-day (including scandal around the Miami World Trade Center deals). But still, Mr Paul's intents in cozying up to the Clintons appear legitimate.
The film does not make clear in what capacity Mr Paul had met Presidents Carter, and Reagan and also, the film, *amazingly*, avoids ANY mention of Rahm Emanuel (which is rather shocking as he was fund raiser in chief in the white house at the time).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_v._Clinton
Excerpt:
Paul v. Clinton is a civil suit filed in 2004 and currently being held in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The plaintiff Peter F. Paul, alleges that President Bill Clinton and his wife, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, deceived him into paying for the Gala Hollywood Farewell Salute to President Clinton, during Hillary Clinton's first Senate race in 2000, by making a promise that the President would work for Paul's company, Stan Lee Media, after his Presidential term was over. Paul alleges that the President broke his promise and stole his business partner, causing his business to crumble and, further, that his contributions to Hillary Clinton's campaign were falsely reported to the Federal Election Commission.[1] Besides the Clintons, three other individuals who were involved in fundraising for the gala, are named as defendants in the suit.[2]
In April 2006 the judge in the case dismissed all charges against Hillary Clinton,[2] for lack of evidence[2] and due to a California law that broadly protects political activities.[3] Paul filed an appeal of the decision to dismiss her from the case. A hearing was held on September 7, 2007;[3] on October 16, 2007, the appeal was denied by California's Second District Court of Appeal, which upheld the lower court's opinion and said that Hillary Clinton could recoup her legal costs.[4] After the ruling, Paul said he would consider a further appeal to the Supreme Court of California.[4] Most but not all of the charges against President Clinton have also been dismissed by the court, on procedural grounds.[3]

Excerpt:
The Barrett Report is a 400 page report created by special prosecutor David Barrett. Initially tasked with investigating allegations of lying to the FBI against Henry Cisneros, Secretary of the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development under U.S. President Bill Clinton, the investigation eventually delved into allegations that President Clinton had used the U.S. Department of Justice and the Internal Revenue Service as political tools against American citizens.[1]
Before the release of the report, three Democrat U.S. Senators, John Kerry, Dick Durbin and Byron Dorgan, forced the redaction of certain pages by attaching a rider to an unrelated appropriations bill.[2]
Cisneros, a former San Antonio mayor, eventually pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of lying to the FBI. He paid a US$10,000 fine and was pardoned by President Clinton on Clinton's final day in office.[3]

Lobbying For Libya
Hired guns are helping it walk the D.C. walk
Libyan Colonel Muammar Qaddafi has never been to Washington. But that hasn't kept the leader of the once-rogue nation from making his voice heard in true American fashion: through a team of hired guns.
Libya, perhaps most reviled for its downing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, has taken steps in the past few years to legitimize itself. The country has paid millions to the families of Lockerbie passengers, and it shut down its program for weapons of mass destruction. In turn, the U.S. has lifted sanctions and set the stage for the return to Libya of American businesses, including oil and aerospace concerns.
But Libya still has a long way to go. ``The experience, the technology, and the economy of the U.S. will be very important to us,'' says Abdul Hamid Yahya, Libya's deputy ambassador in Washington. And that's where Libya's private-sector diplomatic corps comes in.
In 2004 the country began shopping for Washington hands. Former Senator Bob Dole (R-Kan.) and Greenberg Traurig, Jack Abramoff's former firm, vied for the work. The country opted for operatives with low profiles but deep connections in Washington's Arab circles.
One of the first hired was Fahmy Hudome International, founded by Randa Fahmy Hudome, a well-connected Arab American Republican and a former Associate Deputy Secretary of Energy in the second Bush Administration. Fahmy Hudome says she played a role in efforts to remove Libya from the U.S. terrorist list. Justice Dept. records show that in the past year she has also met on Libya's behalf with staff on the Senate Foreign Relations and House International Relations committees.
Fahmy Hudome subcontracted some lobbying work to JAS International, run by Jill A. Schuker, a former director of communications at the National Security Council during the Clinton years.
Meanwhile, C&O Resources Inc. has been the country's political tour guide. Chief Executive Sandra L. Charles set up meetings in March for Dr. Omran Bukhres, a Libyan American working on restructuring the Libyan economy, with Vice-President Dick Cheney's staff at the White House. Charles had earlier advised the Libyans on the benefits of demonstrating a commitment to economic and political reforms. ``When I talk to people in the Administration about Libya, everybody is keen to see reform,'' Charles says. Last year the Libyans organized a women's empowerment seminar in Tripoli.
The three small firms have reaped big money: C&O Resources billed almost $400,000 in its first year. Fahmy Hudome was paid $375,000, Schuker $120,000. The road ahead is not clear. In 2006, C&O Resources and Fahmy Hudome International have worked without contracts -- and without pay. ``We have no reason to believe they won't make good on it at some point,'' Charles says.
But Libya seems to be reevaluating its options. ``They still have a relationship with us, and they hope it will continue,'' says Libya's Yahya. ``The reality now is that the contract is expired.''
