And that all you have to say about one of our senior governmental leaders DELIBERATELY using systems that circumvented the ARMS archiving system?

It isn't just the circumvention that matters, but what is being discovered as those emails come to light.

The Buddhist Temple scandal has to do with Charlie Trie, Maria Hsia, and John Huang attempting to funnel contributions from Chinese intelligence into the Democratic National Committee.

Were this just a matter of illicit domestic contributions, I think the severity of the matter would be far less.

But it's about Gore KNOWING THE BUDDHIST TEMPLE EVENT WAS A FUNDRAISER, WHILE DENYING IT PUBLICLY. That's called a lie, Stephen... And given the fact that the event was a smoking linkage between Gore, Clinton, and the head of Chinese Military Intelligence, it is potentially EXPLOSIVE.

No one seems to want to discuss WHY the event was important. They just want to deny, obfuscate, delay, and denigrate.

And as a moderate who has been driven farther to the right as a result of these kinds of activities, I'm just appalled at the lack of outrage being exhibited...

As an comparison, Liberals raged for YEARS about how allegedly the CIA was deliberately involved in the downfall of the Allende government in Chile back in the '70s.

Chinese money being welcomed, laundered, and covered up by the Democratic party is certainly no less severe.
