I think he needs to spend the weekend with Jim Beam and then he’ll be ok.

He told Greta he might say some shocking things to her and IMO, he did!

At the end of the interview he was joined by his wife. He didn’t permit her to visit him during his 7 years imprisonment.

Trafficant is so mobbed-up nobody would dare lay a finger on a hair of his store-bought wigged head.

His silence earned him his bones. He will rise to the top of the cream of Y-Town and Cleveland.

Many weasels gave their lives before Jim went to the joint.

That's like going from the ninth circle of hell to the eighth.

GRETA INTERVIEW JAMES TRAFFICANT

ON WHETHER HE IS AN ANTI-SEMITE:

“No, I’m not. And that’s exactly what they’re going to say. And I expect that.”

“I believe that Israel has a powerful stranglehold on the American government. They control both members of the House, the House and the Senate. They have us involved in wars in which we have little or no interest.”

“The prisons do not permit hairpieces”

Nor live animals so it was a double whammy for Traficant.
