Why shouldn't we hate Clinton, clown ? Wang Jun •Charlie Trie arranged for Wang Jun, chairman of Poly Technologies Inc., an international Chinese weapons dealer, to meet with Clinton at a Democrat Party event at the White House on Feb. 6, 1996. At the time Clinton met with Wang, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and the Customs Service were wrapping up an investigation which caught Wang's company smuggling 2,000 illegal AK-47 assault weapons worth at least $4 million, destined for gang members in California. Wang's Poly Technologies Inc., is owned and run by the Communist Chinese People's Liberation Army. (sources: The New Republic, 1/20/97; Chicago Tribune, 1/5/97; The New York Times, 12/27/96) •The next day after Wang Jun's coffee with Clinton, investment banker and Jun acquaintance Ernest Green, formerly of Little Rock, contributed $50,000 in his wife's name (Phyllis) to the Democrat National Committee (DNC). Green was a major player in fund-raising for Clinton/Gore's 1996 re-election campaign. At the State Department, Wang's visa file contains letters of invitation from Ernest Green and Charlie Trie. When confronted by the press about Jun's visit, Clinton conceded that Jun was a "clearly inappropriate" guest to have at the White House.
