In Memory Of Congressman James Traficant: Dead From Farm Accident

[Lakhota]

Former U.S. Rep. James Traficant Jr., who spent time in prison on corruption charges, died Saturday, according to the Vindicator.

Traficant, 73, was in "very critical" condition after suffering an injury from a tractor that tipped over him on his farm in Ohio earlier this month. The tractor rolled over backward while he was still in the driver’s seat.

Goshen police district Chief Steven McDaniel told the Associated Press that, "We're unsure if he might have hit the clutch instead of the brake."

Traficant was expelled from the House in 2002 after a federal court found him guilty on 10 counts. He was in public office for more than 17 years.

In memory of Democratic leader Robert Byrd, former chapter leader of the Ku klux Klan, even elected Exalted Cyclops.

At the height of World War II, Byrd refused to join the military and explained why in a letter to then-Sen. Theodore Bilbo, D-Miss."I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side . Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

Rip, if there is peace in hell.

Why are you trying to hijack this thread and turn it ugly? Traficant was an interesting character.

Trial and expulsion[edit]

In 2002, Traficant was indicted on federal corruption charges for taking campaign funds for personal use. Again, he opted to represent himself, insisting that the trial was part of a vendetta against him dating to his 1983 trial. After a two-month federal trial, on April 15, 2002, he was convicted of 10 felony counts including bribery, racketeering, and tax evasion. He was sentenced to a federal prison, where he served seven years. Per House rules, he lost his right to vote on legislation pending an investigation by the House Ethics Committee.

Eventually, the House Ethics Committee recommended that Traficant be expelled from Congress. On July 24 the House voted to expel him by a 420-1 vote. The sole vote against expulsion was Rep. Gary Condit, who at the time was in the midst of a scandal of his own and had been defeated in his reelection primary.[19] Traficant was the first representative to be expelled since Michael Myers's expulsion in 1980 as a result of the Abscam scandal.

After his expulsion, Traficant ran as an independent candidate for another term in the House while incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institute, Allenwood.[20] He received 28,045 votes, or 15 percent, and became one of only a handful of individuals in the history of the United States to run for a federal office from prison. The election was won by one of his former aides, Tim Ryan.[21]

May the crook rest in peace.

Lots of people serve with being convicted of using money donated for campaigns for personal use.

Yeah. He was convicted of bribery and was an ex con.

 

[S.J.]

He went to prison for racketeering. The Democrats turned on him because he took a stand against Bill Clinton for giving satellite technology to China, which enabled them to develop ICBMs. Now they are pointed at us.
