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.

You can be sure that Judicial Watch will again be described as a right wing organization that attacked Clinton by the major media. They treated them respectfully when they went after Scalia.

His name is Peter Paul. He put on campaign parties for Hillary and gave her LOTS of money that didn't appear on her list of contributions required by the authorities.

I'm still confused over which one is real.

If Corbis is wetting the bed about the one that was above, isn't that the real one?

The one that was posted above is a FAKE picture

There is a picture of Kerry sitting by Fonda at a rally in 71 at Valley Forge .. that one is REAL

However, Jim rec'd a letter from I think a lawyer saying the REAL picture is NOT allowed to be used

Wait. How could Judicial Watch both be investigating Chung regarding laundered contributions to Kerry and REPRESENTING Chung at the same time in a lawsuit against the Justice Dept. for leaking information, or whatever??

Am I missing something here?

MSM seems to be catching on, and assuming a life of its own.

I always liked ABCNNBCBS, but it's a bit long.
