PREDICTABLY, HUANG LIES TO HOUSE PANEL ABOUT ROLE IN CHINAGATE (Washington, DC) Over three years after Judicial Watch, Inc., a non-partisan, public interest, anti-government corruption watchdog, obtained the testimony of Chinese agent John Huang, the Republican-controlled Congress finally "got around" to calling him to testify. Incredibly, only 6 members of the 43-member House Government Reform Committee appeared to question Huang. Of those 43, only 5 were Republican members. With such lack of interest, it is no wonder that John Huang "lied through his teeth" at the hearing, exonerating the President and Mrs. Clinton of any and all involvement in the admittedly illegal and treasonous acts which occurred. Huang's Congressional testimony is sadly consistent with the testimony he provided to Judicial Watch three years ago, since it was false. However, Huang apparently could not keep his story straight and several parts of his testimony conflict with what he told Judicial Watch under oath. Judicial Watch will, therefore, be moving the Court (see Orders of December 22, 1998, at www.JudicialWatch.org) for appropriate remedies. "The lack of interest by Congress in John Huang, and in particular the opposition party, is more than a disgrace. It establishes what is, in effect, a bipartisan coverup of the most serious aspects of Chinagate - the involvement of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton, The White House, and certain members of both parties in Congress in the acts which led to the breach of United States national security, either through malfeasance or nonfeasance. It is revealing that after over five years of investigation, Chairman Dan Burton never contacted anyone at Judicial Watch for help concerning the testimony of John Huang. This tells us that Republicans are not serious, but are simply conducting more 'show trials' in an attempt to appease voters and supporters who are concerned about Chinagate and related matters," stated Judicial Watch Chairman Larry Klayman and President Tom Fitton. | |
