So let's see if I get the story straight. Hammer was a friend of several Senators (the Sr. Gore among them) and several Presidents (Kennedy among them). No crime there. You allege that he had some inky dealings with the Gore family and that he could be labelled a traitor because he dealt with the Soviets
Well gee if he [Hammer] was such a traitor/criminal shouldn't he be prosecuted?
He WAS prosecuted (gee, you didn't mention that).
And then he was PARDONED (gee, you didn't mention that EITHER).
You allude to his being a Communist Traitor. I'll bet whatever Democratic President that pardoned a Communist Traitor was a real scumbag (It just had to be a Democrat because Hammer had the Democrats, according to your article, "in his pocket").

What, he was pardoned by BUSH!

You didn't mention that.

But then why would you when it doesn't fit your theory that it was just Gore that Hammer was in bed with. Truth is Hammer was just as cozy with Republicans as he was with Democrats. Being as how he was a crooked oil man you should've figured he just had to be connected to the Bushes.

You're gonna have to do better than that

More lies; more distortion.

Armand Hammer was convicted, not for his real crimes, but for violating campaign finance laws in the 1970s. Bush Senior pardoned him years later when he was old and sick, which was in my opinion a mistake.

But your multi-color html distractions don't exonerate Gore Senior from acting on Hammer's behalf as an agent of Soviet influence.

Truth is Hammer was just as cozy with Republicans as he was with Democrats.

Please be so good as to provide evidence that refutes Zelnick's description of Gore as Hammer's primary contact in Congress. You'll understand our reluctance to take you at your word...
