http://www.truthcast.com/ Congressman Throws Mud At Reno On TV · Ohio Congressman James Traficant, a Democrat who is under investigation by federal prosecutors for alleged mob ties, is accusing Janet Reno of treason. He charges Reno, in part, for her refusal to appoint an outside prosecutor to examine the so-called Chinagate scandal. Although he did not produce any documents, Traficant says he has affidavits of people willing to testify under oath that the head of the Justice Department, as an alleged lesbian, has left herself open to blackmail by the mob in Florida, who he says supplied call girls and videotaped Reno. Traficant made these and other charges on the Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes program Monday night. Traficant, responding to co-host Alan Colmes statement that Janet Reno can sue Traficant for libel, indicated he looks forward to a lawsuit saying, "Bring it on". Traficant stated that Reno should have appointed a special counsel about the Chinagate scandal and that she has put herself above the security of our nation. He implied that the Clinton administration may have obtained information about Reno's private life and may have used it to control Reno's decisions as Attorney General of the United States. He did not provide any evidence. Last month, Traficant said, "Numerous incidents over the past several years have made it painfully clear that the Justice Department cannot effectively police itself". Traficant's proposed bill, the Fair Justice Act, would establish a new federal agency responsible for investigating and prosecuting alleged misconduct, criminal activity, corruption, or fraud by Justice Department employees. Traficant said in July that he expects to be indicted by federal prosecutors in a public corruption probe, which has led to more than 70 convictions, including a judge, a prosecutor, a sheriff and a Traficant aide. Traficant was acquitted in 1983 of charges he accepted mob bribes, but he lost a federal tax case in 1987 stemming from the same issues. Spokesman Paul Marcone said that Traficant plans to defend himself in any trial, although he is not a lawyer. -- ----------------------- NOTE: In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without profit or payment to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this information for non-profit research and educational purposes only.
