In particular: attorneys from the Rose Law Firm ("RLF") did the legal work on the real estate transaction using language provided by Hubbell; Hillary Clinton worked on two fraudulent "cross-loans" and an option agreement that were used to deceive bank examiners as to the true nature of the Castle Grande transactions and the involvement of MGSL in those transactions; Hubbell's secretary typed the agreements and Ward received the documents directly from Hubbell.

  • Vol II Part B Ch. 1 the Final Fifteen Months of Mcdougal's Involvement
    PART B THE RELATIONSHIP OF MADISON GUARANTY, CMS, JIM McDOUGAL, THE ROSE LAW FIRM, HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON AND WILLIAM J. CLINTON Chapter 1: The Final Fifteen Months of Jim McDougal's Involvement at Madison Guaranty (1985 to Summer 1986) I. INTRODUCTION This Chapter details evidence about the relationship between three individuals (Jim McDougal, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and William J. Clinton) and four entities (Capital Management Services, Whitewater Development Company, the Rose Law Firm, and Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan) in 1985 and 1986. First, both Jim McDougal and Mrs. Clinton had a direct relationship with Madison Guaranty. McDougal, the thrift's owner and operator, hired the Rose Law Firm ("Rose") where Mrs. Clinton was a partner. Mrs. Clinton performed legal services for Madison Guaranty including work before various state agencies operating under Governor Clinton. Second, McDougal, Mrs. Clinton, Madison Guaranty, and Rose were all connected to a real estate development called Castle Grande. McDougal purchased the land and buildings from Industrial Development Corporation ("IDC") by using the resources of Madison Guaranty and its subsidiary, Madison Financial Corporation. To evade regulatory limitations on the amount Madison Guaranty could invest in real estate transactions of its service corporation, McDougal arranged for some of the land and a sewer and water utility located thereon to be purchased by Seth Ward, Rose partner Webster Hubbell's father-in-law and a Madison Financial employee. Hubbell, Mrs. Clinton, and Rose provided legal services related to Madison Financial's purchase and development of the property, including conferences with "straw purchaser" Seth Ward. Portions of Castle Grande were sold to insiders (including Jim Guy Tucker) at fraudulently inflated prices so that Madison Financial could book a "profit." The Castle Grande transactions were scrutinized by federal thrift examiners, who 98 concluded that the transactions rendered Madison Guaranty insolvent.
