They were invited, which I think is right. It is no slur to Florida for the rest of the nation to know there are representatives of the candidates there. We all deserve the highest reassurance that things are okay. And we have a sitting President till the middle of January. There's no hurry. I don't mean that in a flip way. But results used to take much longer to get. And in the old days when the EC was a free-for-all, it could take ages. No answer before bedtime this time, maybe not for awhile.

And the markets are nuts right now, anyway, aren't they?

Keep us up to date there JDN...

We rely on your insight as the man on the spot...

Btw, maybe you can find a way to get Jesse Jackson on a one-way flight to outer mongolia while you're at it...

I here he's down there as well....

HUANG HELD IN CONTEMPT OVER 131
TIMES

Implicates Al Gore in Illegal Fundraising

Republicans Also Involved

(Washington, DC) Today, Judicial Watch continued to obtain
testimony from John Huang, the reported Chinese agent. Judicial
Watch is the public interest anti-government corruption law firm
that sparked the Chinagate scandal with the original deposition of
Huang four years ago on October 29, 1996. Huang, who previously
worked for the Lippo Group, an alleged front for Chinese
intelligence, and was a high official at the Commerce Department
during the Clinton-Gore Administration, returned to answer
questions about his role and others’ in the illegal sale of seats on
trade missions in exchange for political campaign contributions.
Court testimony of Nolanda Hill, business partner and confidante of
the late Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, established that Hillary
Rodham Clinton, with the knowledge of President Bill Clinton and
Vice President Al Gore, had devised this illegal scheme. Since
Huang now has immunity, he was forced to answer questions
without claiming the 5th Amendment – having previously done so
over 2,000 times over the last four years.

In his testimony today, Huang implicated Vice President Al Gore in
the illegal fund raising, but refused to answer questions which he
was ordered to answer on at least 131 occasions. Magistrate
Judge John M. Facciola found Huang in contempt of Court for
these refusals, and if this is sustained by the Honorable Royce C.
Lamberth, Huang could be headed to prison.

In addition, Huang revealed that Congress never questioned him
about the Clinton-Gore Commerce Department trade mission
scandal. Huang refused also to answer questions about a number
of high-level Republican politicians who reportedly got illegal
campaign contributions through him and the Lippo Group. Indeed,
Huang implicated about 25 percent of the Thompson Committee,
which supposedly investigated Chinagate, in illegal contributions.
He also implicated former Senator Alfonse D’Amato – the
Republican politician who chaired the Whitewater Committee.

“Huang’s testimony explains why the Republican Congress never
investigated the illegal sale of trade mission seats for campaign
contributions. Huang’s deposition is incomplete and will be
reconvened at the end of November. In the meantime, his
testimony has regrettably apparently revealed a bipartisan effort
to cover-up the illegal sale of Commerce Department trade mission
seats in exchange for campaign contributions,” stated Judicial
Watch President Tom Fitton.

“It is a sad day in American history. Our whole system is corrupt,”
added Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman.

God bless Larry Klayman.
