Senator Also May Have Set Up Meetings Between Chinese Firms, U.S. Officials
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released recently declassified documents showing that Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry accepted laundered contributions for his 1996 re-election campaign from the Communist Chinese government and that, in exchange, he may have arranged meetings between Chinese aerospace executives and U.S. government officials.
Obtained from the FBI through Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act requests, the documents are related to the FBIs Chinagate investigation into the Clinton campaigns acceptance of contributions from Communist Chinese government sources. Among the documents released is an investigative outline dated March 27, 1998, that details the FBIs proposed areas of inquiry into the actions of Democratic fund-raiser Johnny Chung, including questioning him about meetings Sen. Kerry set up with China Aerospace executives and about a fund-raising event for the senator in Los Angeles. The other document, dated Aug. 24, 1998, requests a polygraph of Chung, mentioning that he laundered contributions for the Clinton/Gore 96 election campaign and for Sen. Kerry. The documents are heavily redacted, and Judicial Watch is appealing the FBIs decision to keep secret portions of the documents.
Chung pled guilty in March 1998 to election law violations and, in a plea bargain, began cooperating with the FBI. Judicial Watch represents Chung in a lawsuit against Justice Department officials who, during the Clinton administration, leaked information about Chungs cooperation with the departments Campaign Finance Task Force. The unauthorized and illegal release from a sealed plea agreement of information, including the fact that he and his family were in protective custody in California, put the lives of Chung and his family in jeopardy.
These disturbing FBI documents raise further questions about Sen. Kerrys involvement in what looks like a quid pro quo (cash for meetings) with the Communist Chinese, said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
ok thanks... and here I believed that first sentence in the post that said 'they prosecute'
I understand your sarcasm, and merely wish to note that it was Clinton's FBI that gathered this information, the same FBI that provided 900 files to the white house witch.

I'm grateful for the issue, and I'd use it, but I don't know if it's going to have 'legs.'
A caller to Hannity today asked if he knew about medals for Jacques boatmates....whether they were handed out 'liberally' - this could be why his guys support him (they were all in a medal scheme together). If the others did NOT get any/many, Jacques was writing himself up big time and ignoring his underlings. Either way, it's a GOOD QUESTION!
"But they [Judicial Watch] are usually right on track."
No they're not.
"Larry K has proven to be a whole lot better at filing lawsuits than he is at winning them."
Cleland's ridiculous attempt to deliver that letter in Crawford today seemed to me to be remarkably similar to the attempt by Judicial Watch to serve a Complaint on V. P. Cheney at the White House.
Surely you jest. The MWDP will never let him get into trouble before the rigged election day in November, the fix is in.
No one will care. It's business as usual, as far as most Americans are concerned.
This is only a piece of the full pie - Kerry also vetoed numerous times sanctions against China, and allowed China therefore to import Weapons Systems etc to rogue Nations, such as Iran, Syria, North Korea etc..
Hi Billie. My Waspish face is red. But you're good works are still one of the prize reasons FR is so successful!!!

Pardon me, but this POS is known as "The Cambodian Candidate," don'cha know? (:-)
Hey, Larry's work found the 'blue dress' without which no impeachment ....
It would be nice to see them do an FOIA demand letter for the release of ALL Kerry military records.
