...party who want him to tear apart the system that has fed them so well. In fact, the Democrats made their strategy clear: unless we all play nice with one another, everyone is going to get hurt. When Thompson warned of Chinese influence peddling, his counterpart, ranking Democrat John Glenn, raked over former Republican Party chief Haley Barbour for funneling foreign money through his National Policy Forum. Majority whip Don Nickles hammered away about White House coffees as fund raisers; Dick Durbin, junior Democrat from Illinois, read a Nickles letter from 1990, inviting potential Republican donors who pledged...
Even as he raised his gavel to open the hearings, Thompson knew that the committee's Democrats had found a way to steal the show.

"Our investigation suggests the plan continues today." And then came the witness: John Glenn told Senators that Democratic fundraiser John Huang, the central figure in the investigation, had changed his mind at the last minute and is now willing to testify. Glenn said Huang had offered to forgo immunity on questions of whether he passed economic or classified information on to China while...
Randle and Schmitt bolstered their tale with accounts by Roswell witnesses, some of whom had earlier been ferreted out and interviewed by Friedman. The most notable of their sources was Glenn Dennis, who in 1947 was 22 and working as a mortician. Dennis told of receiving inquiries from the air base that July about the availability of child-size coffins and procedures for embalming bodies that had been exposed to the weather for days...
