The organization, New York Senate 2000, agreed to a federal finding that it failed to report $721,895 spent on the fundraiser to boost the former first lady's campaign for the Senate, according to paperwork provided by Peter F. Paul, who helped finance the star-studded gala that drew Cher, Diana Ross, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.

This campaign finance reform is the biggest joke to come out of Washigton in years... A $35k fine for providing $700k+ to a campaign? Hell, That's just administrative costs... Less than 5% of the total spent... What an utter joke!!

Yeah, but it does show that Hillary's no different from the rest of the Congresscritters when it comes to questionable ethics while raising money.
