And they died from inhaling this gas, right? Wrong.
You stand a much better chance of living a long life if you don’t fire on federal agents.

You have a strange way of defending your government, Dave S.

The Davidians were United States citizens.

That means something to me, even if you don’t think it’s important.

Our government used an internationally prohibited weapon of mass destruction against it’s own citizens.

Our government used an internationally prohibited weapon of mass destruction against the women and children of our nation.

do you work for the Justice Department?

I see no other reason why you would sugar coat this and fail to even address the real issues here.

unless you are just 100% bankrupt of any common sense and skills of reasoning.

so basically you are saying it's ok for the government to used banned toxic gasses that are explosive (whoops, there goes your "they started the fire themselves to go out in a blaze of glory" theory), again, banned gasses that are explosive in nature against our own citizens, and it is ok to do that because they fired on federal agents? is this really what you're saying? and if not, please explain.

what, as if the small army of men and tank deployments weren't enough?

I mean “Weapon of mass destruction" in the same sense that “bacteria” is a weapon of mass destruction.

Ask Sadam if you don’t believe me.

do you know anyone that has a 2nd VCR???

I have 2 myself, and can dub tapes pretty quickly. Any chance I could buy the tape from you and mail it back?

I would like a tape of this enough to front all mail costs for you.

Got this as email today and wonder where it fits in.

NEW PROOF THAT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT CONSPIRED IN ORDER TO GET TRAFICANT By
Linda Kennedy, Attorney (pending Appeal), Va WBFLegal@aol.com

The information you are about to read is information that Congressman
Traficant has had, which would help prove that there is a Department of
Justice conspiracy against him, however, the Congressman would not release
the information, as he was trying to protect Mr. James Leigh and his family.
Both Mr. James Leigh, the operative in this story, and I, have had to
convince Congressman Traficant to make this information public. I was just
given permission by the Congressman this morning to utilize this story.
Please publicize this far and wide including, but not limited to the biased
media.

James Leigh is a very courageous government, under-cover operative, whose
work single handedly lead to the United States issuing 11 indictments and
making 4 convictions of high ranking foreign officials in China and Korea.
The sting operation involved several unlawful immigration scams (unlawful
human smuggling in exchange for a large fee) into the United States. The
price received by the governments involved was $50,000 per head amounting to
about $500,000,000. Mr. Leighâ?Ts assignment was named "Operation
Squeezeplay " and the story can be found in several articles including one
at: http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2002/7/23/175619.shtml. Mr.
Leigh has also been involved in several other highly publicized covert
operations involving national security, which can be found in the
newspapers.

Mr. Leigh had given Congressman Traficant an affidavit and Congressman
Traficant was told to use it to help prove that there is indeed a Department
of Justice conspiracy against Congressman Traficant to expel him from
Congress and to lock him up for life. Mr. Leigh states on 7/27/02 that:

"I provided an affidavit to Traficant, just this week and it proves that
there was indeed a plan to go after him. I live under security concerns and
asked Traficant not to use it unless it would really make a difference. I
think he is holding back to protect my security but now he should be urged
to bring the evidence forward and demand an inquiry and delay of
proceedings. Iâ?Tll back him and testify."

To really understand what is happening here, as Mr. Leigh was ready to close
in on the entire illegal operation of the Chinese and Korean governments,
Bill Clinton and Janet Reno suddenly put a stop to any further undercover
work involving Operation Squeezeplay, and ordered the sting operation to
cease and desist. Obviously, Mr. Leigh was very upset as he had risked his
life, and was extremely close to busting this entire phony immigration
scheme wide open. Even with the desist order, the United States was still
able to convict four illegal smugglers out of the eleven indictments issued
in Operation Squeezeplay.

Later, James Leigh requested that the United States Department of Justice
provide him the protection they had promised he and his family in exchange
for his risky undercover assignments he had accomplished on behalf of our
country. In spite of their agreement to do so, The Department of Justice
just ignored him and let Mr. Leigh and his family fend for themselves even
though they had severely exposed themselves to increased danger for the
United Stateâ?~s benefit. Thwarted at every turn, James Leigh then went to
Congressman Traficant for assistance. From Mr. Leighâ?Ts own email to me
dated 7/26/02, he states that:

"Traficant came out in the press demanding a Congressional hearing into
Operation Squeezeplay and why Reno/Clinton shut it down. A the same time, I
was meeting with Justice officials from [the] U. S. discussing what they
would do to provide the security as promised to me and my family. They
mentioned Traficant and said â?~Donâ?Tt count on Traficant, weâ?Tre going to
get him no matter what we have to do.â?T They further asked me to help them
on that matter."

This discussion between Mr. Leigh and the Justice Department occurred before
any indictment of Congressman Traficant was ever issued. Do you see this
friends? Isnâ?Tt this exactly what Traficant has been saying all along?
Hasnâ?Tt he been saying that Reno and the Justice Department have set this
lynching up in advance? Did you hear Congresswoman S. T. Jones from Ohio,
during expulsion hearings telling Congress to just ignore all the evidence
and claims of judicial corruption and expel the Congressman anyway? Did you
hear the prosecutor say that they had no direct evidence of Traficantâ?Ts
wrongdoing because Traficant was too good to have allowed for evidence? Did
you hear jurors saying that they could tell that Judge Wells had marching
orders? Did you hear another juror describe how he was unlawfully, and
deceptively removed from the case with only one week left, and that he was a
pro-Traficant juror? Did you hear a juror say, that after being allowed to
hear all the evidence, he thinks Traficant is innocent?

Friends, did you see during the Congressional Expulsion vote that Traficant
actually WON the oral motion to stay all expulsion proceedings until an
investigation into these claims of corruption could be made, but Congressman
Hefley insisted that in spite of the victory, that a written vote be taken?
Hefley obviously knew that NOBODY in Congress would have the guts to write
his or her name to stay the proceedings under such threat of retaliation.
Not even those Congressmen who raised the motion to stay the proceedings
were willing to put it in writing? Can anyone else put two and two together
here? Can you see that the Congressional majority who wanted to stay the
proceedings were so afraid of the Justice Department that they would not
even write down their names in fear of being next? Do we now see who is
running our country? Anyone else have any doubt why these rogue courts of
ours, can freely ignore the law and the facts when their own Justice
Department has put such fear into our cowardly Congress, the alleged
judicial overseer, that not a one of them was willing to write his or her
name next to Traficantâ?Ts to stay the motion to expel?

Finally, on July 25, 2002, Mr. Leigh writes:

"Traficant is being noble by withholding my affidavit that can save his ass.
He is protecting me and my familyâ?Ts security. Urge him to use the Canadian
former US. Justice operatives information. It proves there was a conspiracy
within the Justice Department to nail him. I have urged him to go ahead . .
."

And on July 26, 2002, Mr. Leigh states that the Justice Department

". . . basically left my family and I out in the cold to fend for ourselves
[concerned about being exposed]. . . Iâ?Tm willing to take that chance.
Traficant went to bat for me when I needed him, so I guess its time for me
to do the same."

It sounds like Traficant is a lot more noble than the biased media would
have one think. We need to get this story out to everyone including the
biased media fast. Traficantâ?~s sentencing is tomorrow, Tuesday, July 30,
2002, and the public needs to know that there is yet more credible proof of
a conspiracy by Judge Wells, and the Justice Department aimed at getting
Traficant, along with a cowering Congress too fearful to stop it, before
this sentencing.

Thanks to American libertiesa ssociation for helping break this story, but
also for keeping it confidential as lives could be at stake in this matter.

Hi,
I am Mrs. Corinne Anne Callender Hoyt, 2002 banned and fired certified substitute teacher, third attempt school board candidate for May 2, 2006 election,contestant for Mrs.Southwest Michigan Scholarship Program May 21, 2006 and firm believer that my four year mentor and God fearing Mr. James Traficant is completely innocent and has been set up, just as my simple everyday "right to work" and "truth always prevails" freedom has been destroyed by those who lie and have sold their souls to "the Laws of Nature" Devil. I need to hear from somebody at diamondssurvive@yahoo.com on how to contact, visit or communicate with Mr. Traficant and find a way to assist in proving the conspiracy against an innocent American. Prayer always needs "trust no one" and "just do it" to prove "truth always prevails". HELP, HELP, HELP!!! Thank you and this God dame blesses all who believe our "IN GOD WE TRUST" Mr. Traficant. I believe God will condemn all those who have lied against him but we must call them to repentance with power willful breath and hope.
