When you say "back here" does that mean you're from Traficant's district? If so I think you should all stick by him. I called his office today and expressed my support.

I am sickened that the testimony of Defore has got such little (none) coverage. He broke my heart too. Also the testimony of that woman Sandra. Something is rotten here and virtually no one cares!!!!

I'm not in JT's district but I live only a few short miles away in PA. Yes, of course, I support him wholeheartedly, as do my family and my friends.

I e-mailed C-Span to repeat Detore's testimony since they failed to do so on their after-hours rebroadcast of the hearing. They stopped just before Detore's testimony so a repeat of our Federal Reserve Chrmn hearing could be re-played once more. No reply was expected, none given.

We were able to hear the entire hearing live via a Ygn radio station. Detore's testimony seemed to affect many, many people in this area, including some who never voted for Jim. He has a lot of support here. Detore was believable, convincing, and had nothing more to lose by testifying. Everyone wishes he could have testified at the trial, but it's my feeling the judge would not have allowed it. Of course, everyone also wishes that JT had a lawyer at the trial. If so, they say, he would have won. I agree with that. But someone from Ygn would be able to tell you more. I'm sure they're on the board somewhere.

Jim was supposed to release all of the tapes he made involving the feds' witnesses - the tapes he was trying to insert into the hearing record and wasn't permitted. I haven't heard anything because I forgot to turn the Ygn news on at ll.

Yes, I feel he was railroaded, twice. And so do many others back here. He has an atty working on his appeal, but his sentencing is July 30. Oh, boy!
