Chung says Democrats advised him on taking the 5th Updated 12:29 AM ET August 15, 1999 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic fund raiser Johnny Chung, a key figure in the 1996 campaign finance scandal, said Saturday Democrats told him how to plead the Fifth Amendment before he testified to Congress in 1997. Speaking in an interview to air on the Fox News Channel Monday, Chung said he received a package on "how to plead the Fifth" from the chief counsel for the Democrats on the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, where he was set to testify. "At the very beginning of 1997, the Democrat side of the Government Reform Committee sent a package to my office, to my attorney's office," Chung said in the interview, adding that the package "tried to teach me how to plead -- take the Fifth." The U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment gives individuals the right against self-incrimination. Philip Schiliro, Democratic staff director of the House Government Reform Committee, told Reuters that Chung's assertions are "regrettable and categorically wrong." "At no time did a staff counsel make any effort to discourage Mr. Chung from cooperating with the committee. At no time did any staff counsel try to influence Mr. Chung's decision on whether to assert the Fifth Amendment to deny Chung's allegation," Schiliro said. Chung, a Taiwanese-born businessman, appeared before the congressional panel in November 1997. He was called to testify again in May of this year after claims that his account differed from press reports of what he told federal investigators. Before Chung invoked the Fifth Amendment, Chung's attorney asked Democratic staff members for a packet of information regarding the rights of all witnesses before any U.S. congressional committee, Schiliro said. "That information, including the materials on Fifth Amendment procedures, was provided," he said. "Mr. Chung asserted his Fifth Amendment right for the purpose of the committee deposition, but provided six hours of off-the-record testimony with Republican and Democratic committee members," Schiliro added. Chung has been cooperating with a Justice Department task force probing allegations of illegal Democratic fund-raising in 1996. He told the panel in May that he helped funnel $300,000 from a high-ranking Chinese military officer to President Clinton's re-election campaign. China has denied the charge. Chung was given five years probation in December after striking a deal with prosecutors and pleading guilty to charges of bank fraud, tax evasion and making illegal contributions to the Clinton-Gore campaign.

<<In fact, us Gals bear the brunt of The male's Blood Lust!>> Close but no cigar. Women seem to do their share of killing around here. One woman put 6 .357 rounds through her husband in self defense, right into the mattress he was sleeping on. Another woman emptied a 12 ga Remington 1100 through the car window into her drunken boy friend's head while he was sleeping one off. She was reloading when the police arrived and had brought a whole box of shells the 16 miles she covered hunting him down. Both got 6 years.

to: lorrie coey from: truedog The flawed society I mention probably should have been more narrowly concentrated on the judicial system that allows criminals who have been removed from the streets back on the streets without any restraint except an inadequate parole system. I do not know the type of men you grew up with, but there are very few MEN that are full of blood lust. Blood lust happens in deranged people of both sexes. What about the women who murder their living children because they are a nuisance to them? This happens on, what seems like, a daily basis. What about the several women of recent vintage who have coaxed their lovers into killing wives and fiances? What about the three women who got in a fight over a man and ended up running down 10 or 11 citizens with a car? We JUST DO have women committing this kind of crime and have had them for decades. You just won't admit it! There evil and deranged people of both sexes who should be disposed of in the proper legal way. I know you are going to say that abortion is legal, which is true. I just don't like it!!!! You say " oh the conservative","complete killer". What kind of nonsense is that? You are claiming that a political preference is responsible for murder? That is the most far fetched idea I have ever heard. Also, one of the most ridiculous...TD

lorrie, did we catch you at a bad time? Or did you feel unloved by your daddy as a child? Your anti-male bias is bordering on neurotic and affects your ability for rational thought.. At least where us "xy"s are concerned. Poor baby. I can feel your shriek of anti-male venom building. Let'er rip.
