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.
I'll bet.
Sandy Berger's pants.
Where Gigilo John will have to answer, however, is to his Viet Cong masters. They and the Chinese have had some rough times and Hanoi is not going to be happy about Kerry helping their enemies in Beijing. John could be in for a real chewing out!
I think he's still running for Senate, but Mel Martinez is going to squash him like a bug.
Former Senator Thompson (R-Tenn) was going to prove that the Chi-Com military was directly funding the Clinton campaign way back when. Anyone remember that? What happened? Is this Kerry story yet another rabbit hole that GOES NO WHERE?
The Manchurian Candidate lives!
Does anyone have any doubt that Kerry is not just the most liberal senator, he's a communist!
The North Vietnamese, the Chinese....
Copies of the alleged docs are on the JW website.
OK.
I'll TRY to look at JD website
unless I can get Mo1 or Peach to do it for me. LOL!
This is impossible. He was in Cambodia at the time.
He's a dim - laws don't count for them.
I found the links to the so-called documents:

But they won't open for me.
I stopped ALL donations years ago...think that is the reason?
Don't get your hopes up.
I doubt you will see this anywhere else.
I remember that hearing.....all the Demoncrats said they "could not remember anything".
CBS tipped off Judicial Watch on this story.
Yawn.......move on please. Everyone knows that Democrats get 3 strikes at treason. This is only Kerry's second. This won't even be REPORTED!!
"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. "
This should cause him to resign as a nominee and be thrown in jail for treason.
I remember what happened. Senator Thompson was a gentleman, and played by the Senate rules. The Democrats felt free to lie and stonewall and hide the evidence, and so Thompson got nothing but the spectacle of Senator John Glenn making a fool of himself.
The Democrapweasles were so bold and contemptuous that one file that had gone missing magically reappeared in it's proper filing cabinet several days after Thompson said he would no longer question the witness whose file it was.
