Important article. Thanks for posting this.
James Traficant, meet James Forrestal. And this is Jim McDougal. The fellow over there is Jack Ruby.
The tax evasion charges were dropped from the original indictment. There is another explosive story behind that (that you will never, ever see reported in the mainstream media).
Traficant was in possession of some questions about the income tax that he submitted to the Congressional Research Service. Once the government got wind of the content of those questions they realized that, had the CRS gone ahead and responded to them, it would have blown the lid off the income tax hoax that Traficant's been railing about for years.
The feds were in a jam because the CRS cannot ignore a request coming from a member of Congress. So they dropped the evasion charges to "keep the cat in the bag" and the American people perpetually in the dark.
Have you stopped beating your husband?
Wow.
Bean me up.
Got tinfoil?
Middle Man howled at the moon thusly:

Given that, would you like to change your story? ;>)
And I do not mean just at the Federal level, on big things. They reach down right into the payrolls and employment of surprisingly little and mid-level people, and destroy those whom they think are politically unreliable or who know too much.
I read an account some time ago of someone who was a prisoner at the same time as McDougal and reported of prisoners seeing a helicopter land, of persons who came to see McDougal and when they left McDougal was dead.
Congressman Traficant is not the first. Check out Google Advanced Search for keywords: Congressman George Hansen and "Diesel therapy
George Hansen is a former twelve-term Republican congressman from Idaho who knows. Here is an excerpt from WINDS - U.S. Gets Blood on its Beak:
"... The description of Congressman Hansen's ordeal and that of Susan McDougal as they were "ground under the heel of a ruthless justice system run amok", most clearly depicts the methods of those charting the course of the New World Order. They will brook no departure from their purposes nor obstruction to them. They are startlingly reminiscent of the biblical description from the pen of the prophet Daniel when he described such a "ruthless" power:From another site: http://www.sierratimes.com/archive/ray/nuggets/nuggets101700.htm [dead link]After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it. Daniel 7:7" WINDS - U.S. Gets Blood on its Beak:
"Political prisoners and those who are considered trouble makers are given what prisoners call "diesel therapy". "Diesel therapy" consists of being put on diesel buses or airplanes and being transported from prison to prison for weeks and months at a time. On the surface it sounds benign. What could be the problem with making a prisoner ride in a bus for hours at a time?Congressman Hansen was one of the first members of Congress to point a finger at the IRS. In the late 70s he wrote a book called "To Harass Our People". He was the first to get a full scale investigation into the crimes of the IRS against the American people. His outrage over what he discovered caused him to write and help pass the "Taxpayers Bill of Rights." Without George Hansen, the IRS would be the American equal to the Gestapo by now.
Congressman Hansen was set up by the federal gov't. for taking on the New World Order, sent to prison and tortured. The conviction was later vacated, but the judge who heard the case took his time getting Hansen released - FIVE WHOLE MONTHS. It was during this period of incarceration that Hansen was treated worse than raw meat." Source
The way you spell his name reminds me that the stock market is crashing and "traffic" can't! Now we see why all of those trains, and buses were derailing and crashing and going over cliffs. We are seeing the Black Horse of Rev. 6 ride. Traffic (the commercial exchange of goods/trade) can't!

Tax evasion charges were in the original indictment of the Traficant trial that just ended. Those charges were dropped. So he was tried in the early 80's as well, so what? Did you forget your medication?
He was hoping for some jury nullification this time, but the change of venue scotched that.
