While Hillary Clinton battles Barack Obama on the campaign trail, a judge in Los Angeles is quietly preparing to set a trial date in a $17 million fraud suit that aims to expose an alleged culture of widespread corruption by the Clintons and the Democratic Party.

At the conclusion of a hearing Thursday morning before California Superior Court Judge Aurelio N. Munoz, lawyers for Hollywood mogul Peter F. Paul will begin seeking sworn testimony from all three Clintons – Bill, Hillary and Chelsea – along with top Democratic Party leaders and A-list celebrities, including Barbra Streisand, John Travolta, Brad Pitt and Cher.

Paul's team hopes for a trial in October. The Clinton's longtime lawyer David Kendall, who will attend the hearing, has declined comment on the suit.

The Clintons have tried to dismiss the case, but the California Supreme Court, in 2004, upheld a lower-court decision to deny the motion.

(Story continues below)

Bill Clinton, according to the complaint, promised to promote Paul's Internet entertainment company, Stan Lee Media, in exchange for stock, cash options and massive contributions to his wife's 2000 Senate campaign. Paul contends he was directed by the Clintons and Democratic Party leaders to produce, pay for and then join them in lying about footing the bill for a Hollywood gala and fundraiser.

The Clintons' legal counsel has denied the former president made any deal with Paul. But Paul attorney Colette Wilson told WND there are witnesses who say it was common knowledge at Stan Lee Media that Bill Clinton was preparing to be a rainmaker for the company after he left office.

Paul claims former Vice President Al Gore, former Democratic Party chairman Ed Rendell and Clinton presidential campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe also are among the people who can confirm Paul engaged in the deal.

Well this may just be the final nail in the coffin of her Presidency run.

Get ready for the "I Don't Recall" overture to play long and loud.  

"I don't recall" is itself perjury, but almost impossible to prove.  Hillarynesia will become an epidemic throughout the trial.  Will it work?  Will Barbara Joan Streisand and Cherilynn Sarkisian LaPierre Bono Allman Fudge risk prison for the Clintons?

If Hillary was assured for presidency, then probably.  Just a wave of the magic pen is all they'd need to get off the hook.  I'm sure Bill would be a very good teacher to Hillary on how to commit crooked pardons.

I know that FReeper Doug from Upland has been pushing this one long and hard.  Interesting to see how this one is all going to shake out.

Do I get points for knowing that last name is Cher? :-)

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Yeah I am pessimistic this will go anywhere. The clintons were never punished for their previous crimes.

Any number of sleazy trial tricks in motion practice can get this put off for a couple of months even if the date gets set for October now, and with the kind of money and celebs involved, you can bet it will.  Not like the MSM will give it any play anyway.
