Meet David Rosen, Hillary Clinton’s former campaign finance director:

He’s probably not smiling right now.

Over the weekend, Power Line picked up on new transcripts of secret tapes between Rosen and Dem operative Ray Reggie, Teddy Kennedy’s brother-in-law, published by the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Writes John Hinderaker:

The transcript is damning, in that it appears to support the government’s claim that Rosen knowingly mis-accounted for the event’s expenses, so as to maximize “hard money” raised via the event, and minimize “soft money.”

Rosen’s trial begins in L.A. tomorrow.

Meanwhile, convicted Dem operative and Hillary fund-raiser Aaron Tonken says from jail that Hillary should be fined by the FEC.

Hillary, once so outspoken about campaign finance reform and full disclosure, would not comment on the case to the Associated Press.
