Hillary and Castle Grande
1999 Mrs. Clinton is mentioned 36 times in the fraud indictment against Webster Hubbell. Writes the AP’s Peter Yost: “Starr alleges Hubbell concealed his own and Mrs. Clinton’s work during the 1980s on a failed Arkansas land deal, known as Castle Grande, that federal regulators say was riddled with ‘insider dealing, fictitious sales and land flips.’” Yost notes the criminal contempt trial of Susan McDougal: “The indictment against Mrs. McDougal details a series of grand jury questions about Mrs. Clinton and Castle Grande that Mrs. McDougal refused to answer.” The Castle Grande project involved a baroque set of deals aimed at least in part in shoring up the McDougal’s failing savings and loan.

Not until the immaculate reconception of Mrs. Clinton’s billing records in 1996 did her extensive role in the matter come to light. Billing records documenting HRC’s work on the Castle Grande development scam were discovered in the family quarters of the White House. HRC said she has no idea how they got there.

She also claimed that she could not remember her work on the project nor 15 conversations with Hubbell’s wheeler-dealer father-in-law, Seth Ward. In the end, Castle Grande cost the S&L nearly $4 million in unpaid principal and interest.

(15 convictions. If Rezko is guilt by association, this is guilt by association for the Clintons X15.)

1. GOP from the 90s out in force. Obama does not want Hillary
Voters. He thinks he can take voters from McCain and run a
a RW Fundie Government.

This is worse than Freepers. Americans have heard this ad nauseam.
It will hurt Obama by making him sound like a RWer.
