Hillary Clinton's Smoking Gun....

Long has it been suspected that Hillary Clinton engaged in shady deals that if not outright illegal surely brought on the appearance of impropriety.

This CNS News Story has the evidence that our 2008 President-In-Waiting is not only wanting in the ethics department, she was actually caught on tape committing a felony:
(CNSNews.com) - A video tape shows New York Sen. Hillary Clinton committing felonies and should be admitted as new evidence in a California civil case, a forthcoming legal brief to be filed by Friday argues.

The tape shows Clinton - currently the leading Democratic presidential contender - speaking in 2000 with Peter Paul, a Hollywood mogul, and comic book icon Stan Lee about a massive fundraising event for her 2000 Senate race. Paul spent about $2 million of his own money to produce the event. The legal contribution limit to a candidate then was $2,000.

"The evidence is of that rare type that captures the very commission of a crime, namely, that of knowingly soliciting, coordinating and accepting federal campaign contributions far in excess of the legal limit of $2,000," says the brief to be filed by Paul's attorney with the Court of Appeal, 2nd Appellate District arguing in favor of including the tape as evidence.

Cybercast News Service first reported the existence of the tape in April.

A portion of the videotape captures the closing words of a lengthy conversation in which Paul was present.

The voice of Hillary Clinton is heard telling Lee that Paul and her chief campaign aide "talk all the time, so she'll be the person to convey whatever I need." She is then heard adding, "I wanted to call and personally thank all of you ... [and] tell you how much this means to me. It's going to mean a lot to the president, too."
Hillary, of course, had another one of her blonde moments (recorded in a sworn affadavit available at Free Republic), But this video tape appears to prove otherwise.

Will this prove to be the final undoing of Clinton, Inc? Certainly, they've slimed away from even more shady scandals. But at that time, they were the hungry ones, climbing up the ladder of the power structure of the DNC. But now there are those who may be more than willing to throw the Clintonistas under the bus and in doing so become the new focus of power in the democrat party.

That old saying comes to mind... be careful how you treat those on your way up. They'll be the same folks you'll be meeting on your way down.

***UPDATE****

In what can only be described as pure irony in light of this story, Clinton spoofs the Sopranos in her unveiling of her campaign song.
