I do not know if Wen Ho Lee is a spy, but one thing for sure, Wen Ho Lee is a scapegoat. Wen Ho Lee was a diversion used by Janet Reno to avoid the appointment of an independent counsel to investigate illegal Chinese campaign contributions to the Democrat National Committee. Who is kidding whom? Even Barney Fife can see through this ploy. Wake up, Congress.

I yield back the treason of Janet Reno and the secrets still to be stolen by the Chinese.
