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.

Hi, there, Waspie - been a long time! Gosh, I don't know about you all, but I'm having the hardest time keeping up with all these kerry threads!

Grampa D - thanks for posting the crybaby graphic on so many of them - I wish I could get all of the good threads read - trouble is, the ones I want to read all turn into 900+ posts, and it's just hard to get through very many of those in a day. :)

Thank you, mia, too, for your compliment (on another thread which I haven't read yet) - just see these two topics on My Comments page, but 'going' now to check out some other threads.

Thank you again!

John Communist Kerry

A vote for the 'other' Amerika, the one that the 2 Johns talk about, the one with elitist RATS running the nation saying "whatever is mine is mine and whatever is yours is mine too...".

I see your point. I suppose that was correct use of the word, but perhaps another word choice would have worked better.

"Then Ida thought up gittin neked and scairt everyrabuddy clean outta there!!!"

Reminz me of tha time when I wuz at the area by the waterfall assigned to Billie and me for our bathin.'
Was suddinly awear I wuz not alone! and whirling around in the water you woodent beleev what I saw - -

Seems that after WW II, a group of 40 Seabeezzz stayed behind on the othur side of the island, and there they were, gapin' at me in the water - sans clothes...

It was humiliatin' I tell yew, to have 80 beady eyyzzzz traned (yew cain't beat a Trane) on me!

Ha! A Marine can outsmart 'em everee tyme - -
I dove under the water and escaped thru the secret passige behind the waterfall...cut some palm fronds for cuver, and sashayed back to my hut...

Left wing media might not say a thing, but who knows what is in the next batch of ads from SBV?

As hard as viet Nam vets fought against communism, I doubt they are happy about Kerry and Clinton selling them out for campaign money and whatever else they got.

"I know it's Judicial Watch and they are less than reliable, but if this stuff is in the secret FBI files, Kerry may have to withdraw from the race."

How Convenient! (Best church lady impression)
