He attended >that fundraiser. He knew exactly what was going >to go on. I think they've had to admit that over >the course of the last little while. And they did >get agreement on bringing the nuns in for their >testimony, over the objections of the Janet Reno >Justice Department, of course, objections that >were based on the notion that "well, we wouldn't >want to do anything that might interfere with >prosecuting these people" and so forth and so on. > >And I think that there is a trade-off there, >obviously, but I think right now the trade-off >ought to be in the direction of making sure we get >the whole truth, not in the direction of giving >these people cover while the Justice Department >spins its wheels for years, never getting any >results. And so I was glad to see that. > >One of the reasons I haven't talked a lot this >week about the Huang side of the hearings is that >they have shifted their focus a bit this week, and >they've have Haley Barbour up there, they've been >talking about contributions that came from foreign >sources to this effort that he was involved with >-- that was a 501c3, by the way; it wasn't a >political entity that was established. And money >came in from a source in Hong Kong that then ended >up in the soft money pile of the Republican Party, >apparently. And I thought that Haley Barbour did >a pretty good job of defending himself, in terms >of the letter of the law. > >But I was not satisfied. And the reason I wasn't >satisfied is that even if the letter of the law >was not violated, I think bringing these foreign >influences into our political process is violating >the integrity of the process, and that everybody >needs to stop it. And we the people need to >demand that both parties stop this kind of opening >the portals to floodgates of foreign influence. > >Caller: What is you advice to me and your other >listeners of how we might put a little heat on >Janet Reno to stop her from stonewalling and going >down the party line. I'm a little baffled by >that, but I'm sure you have a couple points you >could make. > >Keyes: Actually, that is hard, in the sense of >what we can do, because Janet Reno is going to >respond, in some way or another, to two major >influences: the President and the Congress. Now, >the President, obviously, isn't going to be >putting heat on Janet Reno to get at the truth in >these matters; just the opposite. Her little >stonewalling games are probably all tied up with >whatever deal she made with Clinton in order to >make sure that she kept her job. So leave that >aside; that's going to be an influence for no >good. > >The other source of pressure, obviously, is going >to be the Congress. And I've talked a lot about >that. I think where the heat has to be put on, in >terms of getting at the truth in this, is to >really try to keep on calling, writing, showing >interest and attention to these folks who are >sitting there in Washington. The media is doing >there best to create the impression: "The >American people don't care about any of this. >They're not interested." And to counteract that, >folks would have to take an active role, in terms >of what they're doing to call both their >representatives, but especially people like Fred >Thompson who are at the helm of this effort, so >that they will know that people out there are >watching. > >---------- > >PASS THIS TRANSCRIPT TO A FRIEND! > > > > > ======================================================================== Paul Andrew Mitchell : Counselor at Law, federal witness B.A., Political Science, UCLA; M.S., Public Administration, U.C.
