Hillary Fund-raiser Tapes Spur New Probes

Secretly recorded audiotapes that helped drive the prosecution of Hillary Clinton's one-time finance director David Rosen have prompted investigations into the fund-raising activities of other top Democratic figures, a newspaper familiar with the contents of those tapes reported on Friday.

Ted Kennedy brother-in-law Raymond Reggie agreed to wear a wire for the FBI in 2002 while facing bank fraud and conspiracy charges in another case. It was Reggie's tapes that captured Rosen making incriminating statements about his role in an August 2000 gala fund-raiser for Mrs. Clinton.

Both prosecutor Peter Zeidenberg and presiding judge A. Howard Matz have agreed to keep Reggie's tapes out of Rosen's trial. That's good news for Democrats, at least for the time being.

A transcript of the tape, the Times-Picayune said, "shows that while some parts could have helped bolster the government's case [against Rosen], others contained potentially embarrassing details about the fast-and-loose practices of top Democratic fund raisers and party officials."

OK,...what's Hillary and her whipping boy, Howard Scream,..uh,..Dean, hiding now?
