Traficant speaks out on CNN
Former Congressman James A. Traficant appeared live on CNN's American Morning program today. Some highlights:
• On his incarceration in which he served much of his time at a medical facility in Rochester, Minn. "They said I had a medical problem," he told CNN's John Roberts, because "I wouldn't take the medication" saying he didn't trust prison officials.
• On whether he will run for Congress: "I am not sure at this point," he said, noting, "the only way I can get back at the justice department is to get back into Congress."
• On fighting for Delphi salaried workers benefits: "If we can take care of people all over he world we can take care of the people back here."
• If subpoenaed, he would go to Germany to testify on behalf of John Demjanjuk.
On observations by Mayor Jay Williams that Traficant "no longer represents who we are," Traficant said he had yet to meet the mayor, adding in a list of his own accomplishments, "Those three bridges he crosses when he goes to work? I built them."
Traficant told Roberts: "I am going to have a lot of political opposition, should he run for office, "but I don't give a damn."
He also added a "Beam me up," for old time's sake.
At 10 a.m. Traficant will work as host on WKBN radio on 570-AM.

I'm listening to JT on WKBN's Internet streaming right now.
The man is a world-class radio talk show host.
Vindicator readers who are subjected to constant vilification of Traficant, need to watch the critical testimony that convinced Juror #8 to recant his guilty verdict ... and consider the possibility that Jim might just be telling the truth.

Traficant is just a mischevious kid compared to the real treasonous criminals in DC. He's not girly men like the "men" currently in DC. No wonder Cuba, Chavez, the ayatollas, Putin and all the other dictators and dictatorships have no respect for America. Barney Fwank, gimme a break.

No one is perfect but the Almighty God....
I still like James A. Traficant! James Traficant is tuff...my kind of person!
The people that orchestrated JT's charges and prosecution are now scratching their heads saying, "What have we done?". Pretty much the same thing Madam Pelosi is saying.
