I watched the testimony and by your comments you did not! There is not a doubt in my mind the guy was sincere. In the trial Trafficant was allowed no witnesses and in the hearing they only allowed two on his behalf. From what they said and how they said it you would have to come to the same conclusion as I have. Trafficant was set-up! By Reno, which if you have been paying attention to her 8 years as attorney general you know it is not farfetched.
Stay focused on the question I posed.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Detore the guy who offered bribes to Traficant?
Since you watched whatever and seem to know the facts of the case and the investigation, please answer my inquiry.
I have not followed very closely the case or the ethics hearing so I don't know Detore.
However, I have followed Traficant for many years - before Reno too - and he has always been a sleazy, crooked, phony Demonrat politician from the get go!
