Tarnished Taiwanese-American donated big senatorial money

By Robert Windrem Producer NBC News Updated: 1:07 p.m. ET Feb. 17, 2004Senator John Kerry, D-MA, unwittingly tried to help a Chinese espionage agent and arms dealer in 1996 in return for campaign contributions for his Senate reelection campaign, according to congressional and other documents, interviews, and photographs.

The arms dealer, the daughter of the man who was then the second-highest ranking official in China's military, did not get what she wanted -- a listing for her company on a United States stock exchange -- but Kerry was able to get her a meeting at the Securities and Exchange commission, after a business associate of hers provided him with campaign contributions and the promise of more help.

Holy Batman! Shaeds of Al Gore!

Aren't these the same guys that Clinton let off the hook in the final days of his administration? Aren't they the same guys who Janet Reno refused to investigate for the possibilty of stealing our nuclear bomb and missile secrets? Why does Kerry get a pass on this?

Notice that MSNBC chose to emphasize Taiwan in its headline. This story has nothing to do with Taiwan but the meme has been planted.

In reference to MSNBC slanting the title of article- we find out today that former Clintoon stooge Rick Kaplan is now in charge of MSNBC-I guess Dennis Miller and Joe Scarboroughs days are numbered. It will be Clinton assisting propaganda every day till election is over
