SMITH Daily News Staff Writer A federal probe of possible presidential clemency for votes in New Square, Rockland County, has zeroed in on a fallen Democratic leader who was close to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, sources said yesterday. Manhattan U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White wants to know whether former Rockland Democratic leader Paul Adler let Clinton or her Senate campaign aides know that the Hasidim of New Square wanted clemency for four of their members convicted of fraud, said two sources familiar with the probe. The leadership of the New Square Hasidim had long made it clear they wanted a pardon for the four men. The town voted 1,400 to 12 for Clinton. Paul Adler The former First Lady has not categorically denied knowing about the Hasidim's interest in a pardon before the election, although she has said the subject was not mentioned when she made a campaign stop in New Square in August. In December, she participated in a White House meeting with representatives of the community when they pressed then-President Bill Clinton for a pardon, but she has insisted she said nothing on the subject. Two weeks ago, the FBI subpoenaed two boxes of documents from the Rockland County Democratic Party ‹ all of which had to do with Adler. The county's new Democratic leader, Vincent Monte, said he turned over to the FBI yesterday a raft of documents related exclusively to Adler. The subpoena requested "computer records, e-mails, notes, correspondence, memoranda, calendars, diaries, journals, correspondence, pickup or delivery receipts, telephone records and messages authored by and or maintained by or received by Paul Adler." Monte said the records he submitted, however, contained mostly telephone records and little of substance. He said Adler did not turn over to the party much of the material mentioned by the FBI, including written agendas and e-mails that could show whether party or campaign officials knew about the clemency issue in the heat of the campaign. Sources said the FBI wants to know whether Adler or one of his aides mentioned New Square clemency to the First Lady or one of her aides before Election Day. That could bolster a case connecting the request for clemency to the New Square Hasidic community's overwhelming vote for her. Adler also is seen as a possible key to the investigation because he is vulnerable. Last month, he pleaded guilty to tax charges that could land him in prison for up to five years. He is scheduled to be sentenced in May. If he can provide information to the FBI in the New Square probe, he conceivably could see his term reduced. Adler's lawyer, Murray Richman, said, "My client was not involved in that at all." He added that Adler has not been approached by the FBI. ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
