Illegal fundraiser for the Clintons (Chung) made secret tape because he feared being assasinated
UK Daily Mail ^ | Feb. 24, 2017 | Alana Goodman

A Chinese-American businessman at the center of a Clinton campaign finance scandal secretly filmed a tell-all video as an 'insurance policy' - because he feared being murdered. In footage provided exclusively to DailyMail.com, Johnny Chung spills details on how he illegally funneled money from Chinese officials to Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election bid.

The Chinese-American Clinton fundraiser recorded the 'elaborate videotaped testimony' while in hiding in 2000. He smuggled it to trusted friends and family with instructions to release it to the media in the event of his untimely death because he believed he was at risk of being assassinated.

Chung is believed to still be alive and living in China. The video was obtained by author and historian Doug Wead for his new book Game of Thorns, which traces Hillary Clinton's unsuccessful 2016 campaign and the Chinese government's long-running operation to buy political influence in Washington. Wead provided excerpts from the film to Dailymail.com. The man with whom Chung made the tape, Bob Abernethy, a friend from his church, said it was right that it was shown.

In the never-before-released footage, Chung described how he feared for his life after he publicly admitted to funneling money from Chinese officials to President Bill Clinton's 1996 reelection campaign. He also claimed Democrats pressured him to stay silent about his dealings with the Clintons and said the FBI tried to enlist him in a sting against a top Chinese general at a Los Angeles airport.

The video comes amid renewed interest in foreign influence in Washington, as some members of President Donald Trump's team have been scrutinized for their associations with Russian officials. The video grew out of a controversy in the mid-1990s when evidence surfaced that Chinese officials were pouring hundreds of thousands into then president Bill Clinton's reelection campaign.

Darrell Issa better investigate this if he wants to have any reputation left as an honest Republican.

“but the case was shut down by the Obama administration’s Department of Justice.”

Trump and sessions will be rooting out Obama’s corruption for years.

When ever I have spare time I try and archive www.alamo-girl.com using archive.is.

It’s very easy to put the Bookmarklet on your browser and just click on pages and archive them.

I feel like I’m doing a service to history because that information probably does not exist anywhere else in the world.

and never brought up any of her past... none of it!!

Bears repeating. That the press speaks for at least half of the country, it is bordering on frightening.

Not one D that I know or conversed on the internet with gave 2 s**ts about the IRS corruption against the Teaparty, they did not care that the Obama admin was suing Catholic nuns to force them to dole out abortion drugs to their employees, they did not care about the Clintons corruption even though it has been going on with photos and witness, including dead ones, for 25 freaking years. They did not even care that Clinton had an adulterous affair with a 20 year old White House intern, but did care that Trump said, "pussy."

We are beyond irreconcilable differences, I don't know these other Americans, at all.

**We are beyond irreconcilable differences, I don’t know these other Americans, at all.**

They are trying for a complete takeover of this country. They almost had it with obama, but obama was too much out for himself.... he was an obama team player. Plus there are still enough who are angry out here, to change the election results.. which was not supposed to happen.

Another generation and they might have their coup. As it is today, there are too many of us who still know what our country once was, and are fighting to save it. It’s a frightening place to be when you know what it WAS and what it is now. We are hoping to take obamaland from the dems... we are hoping for a recovery and give us another chance. It took us a long time to rise up and defy all of congress... we finally got sick and tired of their broken promises and realized they are all one club. We HAVE to get term limits on the ballot or signed into law...

I don’t know how to put the liberal left toothpaste back in the tube... they are emboldened and as nasty as I’ve ever seen them... hell bent on destruction. We have to outnumber them for as long as we can...

And President Trump needs our prayers and our support... he is taking the hell they are dishing out to the one person who can save all our necks and our country.
