JUDICIAL WATCH TO ATTEMPT TO BLOCK RIADY PLEA AGREEMENT DATE: March 19, 2001 PLACE: U.S. Federal Courthouse 312 N. Spring Street Los Angeles, California JUDGE: The Honorable Consuelo B. Marshall Courtroom 2 Press Conference to Follow on Courthouse Steps (Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes government abuse and corruption, has filed pleadings in an attempt to block the James Riady plea agreement in the Chinagate scandal. Unfortunately, it would appear that even under new Attorney General, John Ashcroft, the Department of Justice is allowing this sham plea agreement to go through. James Riady is a Communist Chinese agent whose company, Lippo Group, placed John Huang at the Commerce Department through the Clinton-Gore White House, where Huang gained access to over 150 national security briefings. Riady and his Lippo Group, through former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, further subverted the U.S. election process in the 1996 elections. He not only paid bribes to Webster Hubbell, but is currently bankrolling former convicted Arkansas Governor, Jim Guy Tucker, a Whitewater criminal who is reported to now be living in Indonesia. “It would be a disgrace if the Bush Justice Department allows this plea agreement to go through. Judicial Watch is doing whatever it can to convince the court that it would be another miscarriage of justice to let this happen,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman.
