FBI Was Overruled on Decision to Protect Johnny Chung
Key Chinagate witness Johnny Chung alleged on Friday that FBI
bodyguards assigned to him were withdrawn by representatives of
the Clinton Justice Department earlier this year -- even after
the FBI's Los Angeles bureau had agreed to protect him.
At the time Chung had been the subject of three recent
assassination attempts, the last one involving a lone gunman who
got within a few feet of his target.
Chung detailed his story on Friday to WOR radio's Bob Grant in a
dramatic three-way interview that included Judicial Watch chief
Larry Klayman. Chung says he turned to Klayman after Justice
Department probers ingnored his allegations.
The Taiwanese-American businessman is the only cooperating
witness whose testimony links the Clinton fundraising scandal to
charges that the administration compromised national security.
Chung and his family did receive FBI protection for a three week
period in May 1998, after the New York Times exposed his
undercover role in the government's super-secret Chinagate sting
operation.
But on Friday Chung revealed that in March 1999 the U.S
Attorney's office in Los Angeles overruled the FBI on the
question of whether Chung's life was still in danger, even though
FBI field agents had already deemed Chung's situation dire enough
to put the witness and his family under armed guard.
The FBI's decision to reassign bodyguards to Chung came after an
agent apprehended an armed man engaging in threatening behavior
outside the office door of his fax broadcasting business, Chung
told Grant.
Though Chung offered the startling account of how his protection
was withdrawn on a nationally syndicated radio broadcast hours
before newspaper deadlines, not a single mainstream print outlet
carried the news on Saturday.
In lieu of any mainstream coverage of Chung's dramatic
revelation, NewsMax.com offers the pertinent exchange from
Grant's show verbatim:
CHUNG: The third (assassination attempt) was on March 20, 1999,
this year. An Italian-American man came to my office with a
weapon in his back pocket. And I was lucky to have the FBI inside
my office. And they got him. But I don't know what happened
next... Some of the Chinese Mafia here in Los Angeles, they also
come to harass me. And this is an ongoing investigation (so) I
don't want to mention too much. Yes, indeed, I fear that.
GRANT: Larry, is Johnny aware of the infamous list of curious
deaths that have occured to people that have had anything to do
with then-Governor Bill Clinton and now President Bill Clinton?
KLAYMAN: I don't know that he is. But one of the things that's
true; thank God that he's not on that list... When we were taking
his deposition, and when Johnny relayed this latest incident
where a person came to his office with a gun stuffed in his
pants, Johnny said to me that he called the FBI over and they
came over. And this guy, of course, left. I'll let Johnny explain
it, too. And when they left, he asked the FBI -- he said, "I want
some protection." And their response was, "Call 911."
GRANT: Are you serious!
KLAYMAN: I'm being serious. Johnny can confirm this.
GRANT: Oh, my God!
KLAYMAN: I then said to Johnny, "Johnny, would you like me to ask
Judge Lamberth to get you some protection? Not only are we
concerned about you as a human being but as a material witness in
this entire case." The Reno Justice Department lawyer breaks in
and says, "He doesn't need any protection." Unbelievable, isn't
it?
GRANT: It certainly is.
CHUNG: Well Bob, I'd like to say that immediately after that
Italian-American, the FBI take me to the hotel. And then they
immediately went to my house and picked up my wife and children.
And then, FBI was protecting me. But the next day, all of the FBI
was retrieved from the hotel. And that was that. And then later
on I called the US Attorney's office in Los Angeles. They told
me, "Mr. Chung, your case is over. So if you are a normal
citizen, what would you do? You just call 911." I said, "What!"
(The U.S. Attorney repeated), "You just call 911." I told my
sentencing Judge about this, and Judge (Manuel) Real. He also
say, "What!"
Bob Grant's nationally syndicated radio show is broadcast Monday
though Friday, 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET, on the WOR radio network.
Grant's broadcasts are archived and can be heard on Real Audio.

JOHNNY CHUNG RESPONDS TO NEWSMAX REPORT ON FREE REPUBLIC
For the last three years, I have been fully cooperating with the
FBI and Department of Justice. I told them everything I know. No
more, no less. I put my family and myself in great danger. I will
continue to tell the truth, I would like to suggest that you can
watches C-SPAN's feature of my testimony at the Judicial Watch
Event. Let's say if I kept quiet, I would have received a good
sum of money for my silence, retired in style, stopped any
threats to my family and received a very light punishment like
some other people. I do not need to tell the public the truth,
just for them to criticize me. I did not receive a tax lien even
though I spoke at the Judicial Watch Event. Sometimes I wonder
why the DNC and the White House have been so quiet through all of
my television and radio testimonies for the last four weeks. I am
not here to defend myself. I have two choices in front of me: (1)
tell the whole world the truth right now or (2) let history speak
for itself 20 years later. Again, thank you for all your good
words. They make me strong. The bad remarks make me even
stronger, if there any? because that's what the DNC and the White
House want you to believe. In my speech I said: " they can try to
kill me, but they can not stop me from telling the truth", God
Bless my country, the United States of America. And JeanS Thank
you for post this one......
