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.

These Documents are dated 1998. The RATS will say this was investigated and no charges were filed. Unfortunately, I doubt this will go anywhere.

Judicial Watch has done such a good job of uncovering the truth no matter where it is.

That bears repeating. JW seems to seldom win a case, but they have been good at uncovering the truth.

If he did it back then, then what's he done this time? Also, I still wonder about foreign funds going to MoveOn and International ANSWER and then on to Kerry.

Judicial Watch, eh? It's no longer a circus, it's a free-for-all. Larry K has proven to be a whole lot better at filing lawsuits than he is at winning them.

Apparently before he married his current cash cow, Ma Ma T Rex, he whored for the money like the Clintoons and Gore did with no standards for his whoring.

Kerry is like so many verbal bullies. When someone brings it on, they go crying to their mommies or teachers.

If J.W. has enough to prosecute, let them prosecute.

Otherwise it adds fuel to Kerry's 'smear' charges.


The TIMING of this thing seems to suggest just that.

Apparently, before moi Kerri married his current cash cow, Ma Ma T Rex, he whored for the money with the best of the rats like the Clintons and Al Ghorroid.

This is another ripe area for a 527 to bring out his past re whoring for $'s.

Klintoon and Gore did this too and got clean away with it to this day. How come? Will Kerry also get away with it? Of course, RATs escape through all kinds of legal loopholes every time.

If you are asking will he go to jail?

NOPE

But if these documents are real .. it could hurt his campaign
