Crooked Claims About Clinton
By the end of the month, Paul was on a plane to Brazil, saying he had a business there that needed attention.
Busted in Brazil
In June 2001, while Paul was in Brazil, two things happened: One, the grand jury in the Eastern District of New York handed up its charges against him. And two, he filed a lawsuit against the Clintons and several other parties. In the video, Paul implies that the lawsuit came first and that the Clintons pulled the strings of government to shut him up because of it:
Paul: We had filed a civil suit against the Clintons. ... And then I discovered that I was being investigated in connection with the misuse of my brokerage accounts.
Paul actually filed suit on June 19, 2001, according to legal documents, days after his June 8 indictment, and well after he knew of the investigation that led to it. Besides, Bill Clinton was no longer president at this point, and the U.S. attorney that indicted Paul reported to a Republican Department of Justice, which was part of the Republican administration.
According to a Justice Department press release that later summed up the case, Paul "refused to return after the United States Attorney's Office informed him that he was the target of a criminal investigation" :

Comment: We are up to about 5 million hits. She just got decimated in Virginia, Maryland, and DC. Absolutely decimated. I guess the drive-by hit piece didn't have the desired effect.

Comment: http://www.newsweek.com/id/109431 The drive-by hit piece by Viveca Novak is debunked.

Comment: re performance of Cher- Viveca contends that Cher was not solicited by Hillary and that someone else had done that. Lack of knowledge about this case should be embarrassing to her (but it apparently isn't). Yes, Aaron Tonken indeed made the initial request. But there is more to the story. What Viveca did not tell you is that two of the performers, Cher and Diana Ross, required a direct phone call from Hillary. Hillary called both of them (she admitted on tape talking to Cher) and sealed the deal. Without Hillary acting as the closer, they would not have performed. Yes, she absolutely solicited them. The other performers were not solicited directly by her.
