According to the witness, he voted against the plan and then resigned, orally. There is no evidence in writing of a resignation.

Yes, he voted "no." But if he attended that meeting, his very attendance was part of a conspiracy. If he wanted nothing to do with it, he had a duty to inform authorities about a potential plot to kill senators.

he had a duty to inform authorities about a potential plot to kill senators.

As he had a duty to name names when he told the US Senate that he had witnessed war crimes in Vietnam.

You are quite correct on this point. This should be pursued.

[fightin kentuckian]

His "no" vote was probably a flip-flop from his earlier stance. Or he may have flip-flopped after the "no" vote. lol

[Sender]

If nothing else, his intimate and active participation in a group, over an extended period of time, that discussed and considered such plans shows that Kerry and his bunch were ready to go way outside the law in their zeal to stop the war. Hardly a good reference for a potential POTUS.

PART I
CHAPTER 115
Sec. 2382. - Misprision of treason

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both

Can you imagine if Trent Lott had attended that meeting? The RATS would have had him drawn and quartered at high noon in front of the Capitol.

[Steve_Seattle]

Hey, attending a meeting where a discussion of assassinating U.S. senators was on the agenda is no biggie; now, if Kerry had made a joke about Jesse Jackson eating chitlins, that would be a story. (sracasm)

Yes, he voted "no." But if he attended that meeting, his very attendance was part of a conspiracy. If he wanted nothing to do with it, he had a duty to inform authorities about a potential plot to kill senators.

Really, whether he voted "yes" or "no" would make no difference. The mere fact that he would even cast a vote on such a thing would seem to me to be giving credence to it. The only right thing he could have done would be to walk out and immediately contact authorities.

[Friend of thunder]

Yes, he voted "no." But if he attended that meeting, his very attendance was part of a conspiracy. If he wanted nothing to do with it, he had a duty to inform authorities about a potential plot to kill senators.

Technically (i.e. legally), you are correct; however, I think it is extremely unlikely that anything will come of this. If an actual murder had been committed (or even attempted) it would be different. If he had voted yes – and nothing had come of it – things would be different. (If it were Bush instead of Kerry things might be different.)

I could be wrong – but I’m not.

A simple NO vote doesn't cut it. Kerry definitely had a duty to report about the assasination plot.

[meatloaf]

From what I understand Kerry was still a commissioned officer at that time. Kerry was sworn to defend the United States from ... himself. This is so wild, not that I don't believe it, that it may do more harm than good if it comes out.
