Illegal fundraiser for the Clintons (Chung) made secret tape because he feared being assasinated
UK Daily Mail ^ | Feb. 24, 2017 | Alana Goodman

A Chinese-American businessman at the center of a Clinton campaign finance scandal secretly filmed a tell-all video as an 'insurance policy' - because he feared being murdered. In footage provided exclusively to DailyMail.com, Johnny Chung spills details on how he illegally funneled money from Chinese officials to Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election bid.

The Chinese-American Clinton fundraiser recorded the 'elaborate videotaped testimony' while in hiding in 2000. He smuggled it to trusted friends and family with instructions to release it to the media in the event of his untimely death because he believed he was at risk of being assassinated.

Chung is believed to still be alive and living in China. The video was obtained by author and historian Doug Wead for his new book Game of Thorns, which traces Hillary Clinton's unsuccessful 2016 campaign and the Chinese government's long-running operation to buy political influence in Washington. Wead provided excerpts from the film to Dailymail.com. The man with whom Chung made the tape, Bob Abernethy, a friend from his church, said it was right that it was shown.

In the never-before-released footage, Chung described how he feared for his life after he publicly admitted to funneling money from Chinese officials to President Bill Clinton's 1996 reelection campaign. He also claimed Democrats pressured him to stay silent about his dealings with the Clintons and said the FBI tried to enlist him in a sting against a top Chinese general at a Los Angeles airport.

The video comes amid renewed interest in foreign influence in Washington, as some members of President Donald Trump's team have been scrutinized for their associations with Russian officials. The video grew out of a controversy in the mid-1990s when evidence surfaced that Chinese officials were pouring hundreds of thousands into then president Bill Clinton's reelection campaign.

Illustrative of how deep the MSM is in with the Clintons. Their proven corrupt China dealings were largely ignored, while alleged Trump ties to Russia get 24/7.

He was worried with good reason, the trail of bodies behind the Clintons is voluminous.

Interesting but nothing will come of it. The communists empire mostly corrupt Democrats will shield her for ever. Republicans have nothing in their arsenal to work with.

I don't remember that. But I do remember all the posting activity regarding Norman Hsu and Winkle Paw back in the day. Hsu went to jail (after being pulled off a train in Denver, higher than a kite) and I believe Paw just flat disappeared (allegedly back to China). Was Chung connected to all of that?

Clinton's campaign to return $850,000

Hsu case figure Winkle Paw goes missing

It will never cease to amaze me how all the Clinton scandals disappear down the rabbit hole.

Let’s say China-Clinton and Russia-Trump are correct for this example.

Which would you rather have behind your President? A communist nation that kills Christians (china) or a Christian nation run by a man who loves (and has killed for) his country (Russia).

I’ll take the latter any day of the week.

Is ANYONE doing ANYTHING about the mysterious death of Seth Rich? That sure has gone underground!

Not as far as I know, just another unsolved murder in DC.

This is what Clinton should have been impeached for.

Knew Ashe was going to testify but didn't know about what.

Another body added to the Clinton Dead Pool, along with Seth Rich.

For those who would like to debunk “Arkancide”, this does add to the credibility of all that went on in Arkansas with the clintons.. it’s massive... it’s years worth of crimes... and the media is stuck on President Trump. To deny they are biased is to deny they are alive and ‘reporting’.

The clintons were, and still are, to be feared under such circumstances as Chung describes. I remember him.... all that was not written about when it happened... it was white washed... swept under the rug... the reporting that was done, turned it into a casual happening that merited no concern. When in fact... it was one of several huge messes the clintons lived in and perpetuated. They controlled their future by controlling the present personalities that might threaten their future.

And she was allowed to run for President of the United States... they covered for her lies.. never reported on a single one... and never brought up any of her past... none of it!!

The Clinton’s don’t leave behind many clues. To stay in power at any cost requires strict control of one’s lackeys and efficiency in eliminating them if they go rogue.

The last bit of that article is very interesting..

“Ng Lap Seng, a Macau billionaire tied to the Chinese government, was accused of pouring $1 million into Clinton’s 1996 reelection bid.

Ng was accused of laundering the campaign donations through long-time Clinton associate Charlie Trie, who pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations in 1999.

Although Ng avoided prosecution at the time, he reappeared at a New York airport carrying a suitcase of cash in 2015, and was arrested for allegedly bribing a United Nations official. He is currently under house arrest at his $3 million Manhattan apartment awaiting trial.

The UN official who allegedly accepted the bribes, John Ashe, 61, was unexpectedly killed by a barbell while lifting weights last summer.

In his book, Wead reports that the New York FBI office wanted to investigate Ng’s connections to the Clintons last year, but the case was shut down by the Obama administration’s Department of Justice.”
