YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- A former Ohio congressman who was freed after seven years in federal prison said he was put in jeopardy behind bars because of his views.
James Traficant spoke in an interview to be broadcast Thursday night on the Fox News show "On The Record With Greta Van Susteren."

A little KY might’ve protected you, Jimbo
He was always fun......crazy, but fun.
I think he needs to spend the weekend with Jim Beam and then he’ll be ok.
His rug alone must have made the other inmates think he was crazy....prisoners knew he was nuts...what was wrong with the people who voted for him every other year????????????
He told Greta he might say some shocking things to her and IMO, he did!
At the end of the interview he was joined by his wife. He didn’t permit her to visit him during his 7 years imprisonment.
I didn’t realize that it had been 7 years.
He told Greta he grew a long pony tail. Seven years worth? !!!! The prisons do not permit hairpieces. LOL.
Many weasels gave their lives before Jim went to the joint.
That's like going from the ninth circle of hell to the eighth.
GRETA INTERVIEW JAMES TRAFFICANT
ON WHETHER HE IS AN ANTI-SEMITE:
“No, I’m not. And that’s exactly what they’re going to say. And I expect that.”
“I believe that Israel has a powerful stranglehold on the American government. They control both members of the House, the House and the Senate. They have us involved in wars in which we have little or no interest.”
“The prisons do not permit hairpieces”
Nor live animals so it was a double whammy for Traficant.
Sounds like the Aryan Brotherhood got a hold of him.
LOL
What a nutcase!
And in other breaking news, it is reported that the sun will rise tomorrow morning.
Congratulations! My prayers, best wishes, and sincere thanks and appreciation for your son's service and may God always bless your family.
Thank you very much. I will pass along your kind words.
Thank you. I will be honored, and if you remember, I’d love to know when you’re SoldierDAD Grampa! :)
LOL - the due date is Feb 18. However, because they have twins, the doctor believes she will deliver in January. I will post the announcement and ping you.

“Because of his views”?
How about because of his hair.
BTW: How does his hair look now?
As of tonight. :)
Thanks! I will be looking forward to the blessed event!
The crux of his angst is in dealing with the US and Israel Holocaust lobby as they latched onto that Ohio guy accusing him as a Nazi prision camp killer.
Trafficant claimed the man was innocent and he claims he was being railroaded by activists. He helped clear the targeted Ohio guy in Israeli courts with information withheld by the US Department of Justice that showed his innocence. I have no doubt he dealt with very angry and mean people for defending the guy and getting him off.
The “Joooos get us into wars” is a Left wing mantra that usually uses the code word “neo-cons.” This comes out of the Left’s neo-nazi National socialists and the Obama’s “church” - the black racist wing Nation of Islam, black panthers and white communists. They claim the yare not anti-jew; they are anti zionist.
It’s a big improvement.
He looks like a new Muppet character.
I think he will bring new life to the democrat party. :)
Cause he was fun to watch and if you ever read any of his one minute speech’s on the floor of the house, you’d know he had more ba!!s than any other democrat and was liked by the people that voted him in....Now those that voted in Gramnesty is another matter..
“Sounds like the Aryan Brotherhood got a hold of him.”
More likely “Peckerwoods.”
Jim! What is that thing?
Thanks SaraJohnson. He talked a lot about this same man who’s now in Germany after being deported from US at age 89. I know a little about the case, but not enough to have an informed opinion. Trafficant’s statements left me feeling confused, but his passion and anger were on full display.
I almost choked when he said “Obama has a good heart.” Huh?
FYI: Traficant is on 1100AM WTAM Friday September 25, 3 to 6 PM EST.
