Huang Takes the Rap for 'The White Guys in the White House'
Friday May 28, 12:37 AM
The same day the Cox committee report on Chinese nuclear espionage was released, the Justice Department announced that they had cut a deal with key Chinagate witness and big-time funny-money fundraiser John Huang.
And what a deal it is:
Huang won't do any jail time -- even though he gave up nothing about Chinagate spying. And he hasn't fingered any higher-ups in the White House's "anything for a buck" 1996 fundraising blitzkrieg.
Still, insists Attorney General Janet Reno, the fundraiser whose October 1996 testimony launched the scandal that now has all the president's men battling suspicions of high treason, has been "cooperating" with the investigation for months.
That's odd, says Judicial Watch, the legal watchdog group that first deposed Huang three years ago. Because, when they redeposed him under a court order last month, Huang repeatedly invoked his Fifth Ammendment rights, refusing to answer questions over 1,000 times.
Since a "cooperating" witness cannot selectively plead the Fifth, Judicial Watch will now seek a third deposition of Huang, just to make sure that Reno and Co. didn't miss anything good.
In a Wednesday press release, Judicial Watch reports that Reno has cut similar prosecution deals with Chinagaters Johnny Chung, Charlie Trie and others who rank further down on the DNC food chain, noting a pattern:
"So far, only Asians, Indians, Indonesians, African-Americans and Hispanics have been charged with minor crimes, and then let off the hook. ... Where are the prosecutions against 'the white guys' in the White House?"
