With documented proof recently provided by the FBI through the Freedom Of Information Act it is proved that John Kerry met with Communist North Vietnamese negotiators and Viet Kong representatives in Paris in 1971 while Kerry was still in the Navy Reserves (still in the military). Kerry could be standing face to face with a 10 ton Gorilla when the Swifties hammer him with this one.
It is against specific Codes of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and also against specific Articles of the Constitution to do what Kerry did.
The FBI documents also place Kerry at a meeting where the assignation of sitting U. S. Senators is discussed. This is a violation of law, if not reported to the authorities, as a conspiracy.
Judicial Watch is attempting to get the authorities to pursue the matters. I don’t know what their stance is. But when the Swifties smack Kerry across the airwaves with this information, it’s gonna leave a mark!
This has been well known for weeks, months, years, yet the press did not follow up with any questions of Kerry. When this campaign is over, some one will be able to write a fat book on all the blatant ways the media protected Kerry, while hounding Bush with silly, unproven charges.
From my blog:
Kerry first admitted meeting with communist representatives in Paris in 1970, in his own testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on April 22, 1971, at a time he remained an officer in the US Naval Reserve and in apparent violation of U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953, which disallowed private citizens from negotiating with foreign powers. Kerry stated, "I have been to Paris. I have talked with both delegations at the peace talks, that is to say the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government (PVR)."
On March 24, 2004, Michael Meehan, official spokesman of the Kerry campaign, confirmed that John Kerry indeed traveled to Paris in 1971 and met with Madame Binh and also admitted he met with other members representing both the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (the North Vietnamese) and the Provisional Revolutionary Government (the Viet Cong).
Michael Kranish and Patrick Healy report "Kerry Spoke of Meeting Negotiators in Paris", in the Boston Globe, March 25, 2004.
On July 22, 1971, John Kerry held a public press conference in which he advanced the positions stated & outlined in his personal meeting with Madame Binh.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
The Consitution does allow the assignation of U.S. Senator when a vacancy occurs prior to an election.

"Judicial Watch is attempting to get the authorities to pursue the matters."
Well, now I can rest easy, given Judicial Watch's tremendous track record of following through with any effectiveness whatsoever. If we're waiting on them, we'll be waiting a good long time.
You mean his lucky CIA secret decoder ring hat ?
There is another, perhaps more troubling aspect to all of this. As a former Marine, I know that the standard term for ALL members of the Armed Forces is SIX years. Yes, that's right, SIX years. In theory, a person entering the military in, say, 1968, would still be IN the service until 1972 - at the earliest (the exact date/time is computed by using the persons Active Duty Base Date - ADBD, which is contained in the records kerry will not release.) The exact mechanism is this, every person who enters the military has a 6 year obligation. If the person immediately goes into active duty and completes their obligated tour of duty - say 4 years, upon completion of their active duty tour they are transferred into the IRR - Individual Ready Reserve. There are no drill or attendance requirements for the IRR, BUT the person CAN be called up at any time until the entire 6 year obligation is finished. A person who opts to be a Reservist is, after training, ordered to a Reserve Unit for a minimum period of 2 years - during which the person MUST drill. My question is, since the standard obligated tour of duty is 6 years, and kerry entered the service in 67 - or thereabouts, he would have STILL BEEN A COMMISSIONED US NAVAL OFFICER when he gave his testimony to the Senate, and possibly whenever he met with the commies. That is TREASON. His testimony was, at least, SEDITION. And now, my friends, you know why kerry will NEVER release his official military records.
Great to see this charlatan ridden hard before being tossed into the gutter cold and dead. Couldn't happen to a more deserving scumbag.
