Just out of curiosity, any of you folks know why Al Gore has been able to lie and commit criminal acts while raising money for his campaign?

E-mails Detail Gore Buddisht Visit

______________________________________________________
By JOHN SOLOMON, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - Reconstructed White House e-mails kept from investigators show Vice President Al Gore (news - web sites) was urged to bring $20 to a Buddhist temple fund-raiser, and his staff was told a businessman offered to raise $250,000 to have coffee with President Clinton (news - web sites).

The messages disclosed Friday are some of more than 100,000 e-mails the White House never properly archived. As a result, they weren't reviewed to determine whether they should have been sent under subpoena to investigators of topics ranging from fund raising to Whitewater and impeachment.

They were reconstructed recently from backup tapes, in part because of pressure from a federal judge. They're also being turned over to prosecutors and Congress, who had subpoenaed them.

One message details an apparent offer from Taiwanese-American businessman George Chang in Virginia to raise $250,000 if the Democratic National Committee (news - web sites) arranged his request for a White House coffee and a Clinton interview with a Taiwanese reporter.
