Chung Alleges DNC Sought Illegal Funds By Roberto Suro Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, June 20, 1998; Page A01 Democratic contributor Johnny Chung has told Justice Department investigators that top Democratic National Committee officials knowingly solicited and accepted improper donations from him, according to sources familiar with his account. washingtonpost.com No wonder Janet Reno won't appoint an IC to head that investigation. Or to investigate how the Dems used the Teamsters to launder illegal campaign money. Actually, I'm surprised that the Wash Post bothers to print that story, after all it's not really news that the Dem party is a criminal conspiracy posing as a political organization. It has been reported that during the 1980's Dem Majority Whip Tony Coelho (before he resigned under a cloud of financial impropriety) went to business leaders and told them that the Dems were the permanent majority and unless business gave them campaign $$$, the Dems would retaliate and punish them in legislation. That was common tactics for the Dem party in major US cities for most of this century, but never had a Dem leader gone to business and been so blatant about their shakedown practices. It's illegal when the Mob does it. But when the Dems do it, big Media looks the other way. In my state, Senator Dodd's role in the all the illegal campaign practices of the Dem National Committee is hardly referred to at all in the papers, even though Dodd headed that organization before and during the 1996 election cycle. A conservative Rep senator in the same situation would have been skewered daily in the press and especially the NYT. Because then it would be news.
