Threads like this one need a good ping list. I'm sure Mr. Chan will appreciate this list. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
It's pretty complete but I think Filegate should be much higher. Top ten, at least. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
What, no mention of Fort Marcy Park? And other misadventures of the Bent One in his Conquest Mode?
I assume that includes the help given to China to fix their missile program, involving Loral Corporation & Hughes Corporation Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.
welcome back.
wow that was quick !
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Not to mention Johnny Chung ;instrumental in the transfer of hi tech missile technology to China . If you were a Chinese aerospace kingpin looking for an agent to buy influence at the White House and get American rocket technology into your hands, Johnny Chung would not be your first choice for the job--or your second choice or even your third. Yet Chung, the cartoonish Taiwan-born businessman best known for his role in the 1996 Clinton campaign-finance scandals ($366,000 in suspicious contributions; a plea bargain in which he's cooperating with investigators), was being described in Washington last week as the pivot man in a "China Plan" to do just that. For an influence peddler, he employed an unlikely m.o.--a garish, glad-handing personality that repelled those he wanted to seduce, from top White House aides to their interns. "Johnny was a hassle," an intern named Gina Ratliffe told House investigators in a deposition. Chung often showed up at the offices of Hillary Rodham Clinton, where Ratliffe worked in 1995, and whenever he did "people would roll their eyes and say, 'Oh, Johnny is here,'" said Ratliffe. Chung hired Ratliffe, then 21, as an assistant in what he called his "bridge-building" mission between the U.S. and China, promising that she could live in a $3 million Virginia mansion, ride around Washington in a chauffeured town car, even meet Steven Spielberg. But Ratliffe quit after three months and one trip to Beijing, she said, because Chung never made good on his promises. "He was just this big braggart." Now Chung is having a second moment of infamy, because he has told investigators that he received $300,000 from Liu Chaoying, a top executive at China Aerospace International Holdings (the subsidiary of a huge Chinese satellite-launching outfit), and funneled at least $35,000 of it to the Democratic National Committee. Here's where it gets sticky: after Chung passed illegal money to the D.N.C., Clinton approved the transfer of commercial satellite-launch technology to China--technology that might have helped China improve the accuracy of its long-range ballistic missiles that threaten the U.S. http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1998/05/25/time/china.missles.html Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
I'm sure it does. And the money trail that goes with it. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
Give me a holler when you get a chance. Will give the details.

# 1) Throughout their entire sociopolitical careers the Clintons have shown a defiant hostility toward, if not disregard for, conventional standards of law or morality necessary to mantain a reasonable society. They are best characterized as angry impulse-dominated juvenile delinquents with big vocabularies.
