Secret FBI Documents Reveal Kerry Accepted Laundered Contributions
Judicial Watch ^ | 8/25/2004 | none listed

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 FBI’s “Chinagate” investigation into the Clinton campaign’s acceptance of contributions from Communist Chinese government sources. Among the documents released is an investigative outline dated March 27, 1998, that details the FBI’s “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 FBI’s 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 Chung’s cooperation with the department’s 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. Kerry’s involvement in what looks like a quid pro quo (cash for meetings) with the Communist Chinese,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

Valorous?

Hey, maybe you can shed some light: the other day, I heard Rush Limbaugh go on and on about so-and-so's "VALORIOUS" conduct. I had never heard the word pronounced that way and wondered why he was doing this. Now I see some freepers spelling it that way and you come along and spell it right (IMHO). Was Rush mocking someone?

This will go no where and it will do it fast.

Two things working against it...

One, the MSM doesn't care.

Two, JW has long ago become a joke.

In Kerry's testimony before the senate he makes a statement about the after action reports and the fact that they are often exaggerated.

Mark Levin read parts of this testimony on his radio show this afternoon. Sorry I don't have the transcript or know how to get one.

Afraid I missed that show, but certainly wouldn't put it past El Rushbo (El Rushbeau, to Jacques Effin) to mimic someone who misappropriated a word.

Has Larry joined a new organization?

The Republican party.

Can I make fun of it?

That would probably be more dangerous around here than making fun of JW.
