Traficant is a member of the House, not the Senate. He is a Democrat and is graded 'C--" by the GOA. He has a fairly decent voting record as far as gun-rights go, IIRC. I remember when this guy was the Sheriff of Mahoning County. (or was it Trumbull?) He's always been a trouble-maker and supposedly had ties to the mob. He defended himself in court and beat that accusation a few years back. I think that most people around here like him because he's never been and never will be a "Washington Insider." Plus the fact that he's obviously not afraid to shake things up a little.
I, for one, am glad to see someone else ripping the b!t*& a new one.

I've heard rumors that he's about to be indited by the Justice department for corruption and ties to organized crime; I expect that this is just PR, positioning himself to claim the charges are retaliation.

I have to agree with Bellmore on this one.
At this point in time to attack Reno is to only gain votes for attention for himself or possibly the republican party as a whole.
It will be likely like the impeachment trial on a smaller scale.
Lot of hoopla name calling but nothing actually done.
I have for the most part come to see the two parties as one large one,if they need to swing attention away from something theyll act like the other side has dome something wrong flex their muscles and what have you
but never do any damage.
A C rating with GOA mean's the person in question occasionally leans pro-gun.
Despite his strong backing from the NRA and their not touching the topic my congressmen
after 4 postcards frome every GOA mebmer in the area decided to lean for the Hostettler amendment and earn his full C.

Congressman:
Reno a traitor
Traficant accuses U.S. attorney general
of high treason, ties to organized crime
By Jon E. Dougherty

A U.S. congressman accused Attorney General Janet Reno of a
range of illegalities, sexual improprieties and ties to the mob -- as
well as treason -- on a national television news show last night.
Rep. James Traficant, D-Ohio, who is currently under
investigation by the FBI for his own alleged ties to organized
crime, made the explosive charges on Fox News Channel's
Hannity and Colmes program.
Accusing Reno of "treason" for her
failure to appoint a special counsel to
look into charges that China stole
reams of sensitive nuclear weapons
data from the United States, Traficant
said he has "sworn affidavits" from
unidentified sources claiming Reno has
also had lesbian affairs, has frequented
call girls and has engaged in substance
abuse.
The fiery Ohio congressman told
viewers that sources close to him "had
videotaped evidence" of sexual
improprieties as well as the testimony
"of five police officers" who have "stopped Reno for substance
abuse."
But Traficant was most adamant about his charges that Reno
may have committed acts of treason against the United States.
"I'm accusing the attorney general of treason," he proclaimed.
"She has set herself above the national security of this nation,
and I'm going to attempt to get all the information out" to the
general public.
Traficant, who himself is under investigation by the FBI for
alleged mob connections, denied that his charges were made to
deflect attention from himself.
"Do you want Janet Reno to sue you?" asked show host Alan
Colmes at one point.
"Go ahead, Ms. Reno, sue me," Traficant shot back. "Let's get this
into a trial. Let's get it all out in the open."
On the crucial issue of suspected Chinese theft of U.S. nuclear
weapons secrets, Traficant said the nation hasn't "had so much as
a high school debate on the issue."
When questioned about the veracity of the affidavits, Traficant
said he "didn't know" whether they were completely true or not,
but added they were "important enough" to examine.
He also said the "entire Justice Department" has become little
more than a vetting agency charged with concealing sensitive
and potentially damaging information about alleged illegalities
within the Clinton administration and, specifically, the
department itself.
"I also want to know -- is Ms. Reno subject to blackmail over this
information, and does [President] Clinton have this
information?" Traficant said. "Did the FBI ever look into these
charges? What do they know?"
The Ohio congressman said he believed that because of the
charges he outlined and those contained in the affidavits he
claimed to have, Reno has failed to conduct serious
investigations into Chinese nuclear weapons theft, as well as a
range of other Clinton administration scandals.
"She's too compromised," he said, adding that she had been
"fast-tracked into her attorney general's position" to start with.
Traficant said Reno's alleged improprieties occurred while she
was a Dade County (Miami, Fla.) state prosecutor and municipal
judge.
"None of this is about Democrats and Republicans," Traficant
said. "It's about getting the truth to come out."
The Justice Department was not available for comment at press
time.
Meanwhile, FBI investigators are examining Traficant's own
alleged ties to organized crime, something he says is politically
motivated and unfounded.
The investigation stems from alleged decades-old ties between
Traficant and mob figures from Youngstown, Ohio, where the
congressman was once a county sheriff who, the FBI said, was
elected with money donated from reputed organized crime
figures.
Traficant was arrested by the FBI in 1982, but at a trial in which
he defended himself, the soon-to-be U.S. congressman beat the
charges that he was tied to the mob, but later, in 1987, was
charged and convicted of tax fraud in a case connected with the
1982 charges.
Other reputed mob figures with alleged ties to Traficant have
already been indicted by the FBI.
And, in an earlier appearance July 26 on Hannity and Colmes,
Traficant accused former Federal Bureau of Investigation
division chief Stanley Peterson of being on the payroll of the
mafia -- a charge he had previously made only in the House
chamber, where he was protected against being charged with
defamation.
"I have irrefutable evidence that the FBI was on the payroll of
organized crime in my valley," he said. "And the FBI and the
Justice Department never investigated Stanley Peterson. Now, I
could be sued -- I'm on Hannity and Colmes. He (Peterson) was
the chief of the division of the FBI in Youngstown, on the payroll
of the mob, was appointed chief of police at the direction of the
mob. They never had an investigation, and there are agents
there right now who are on the payroll of the mob, and the
Justice Department did nothing about it."
Traficant has also said he expects "any day now" to be indicted
by the FBI, though no charges have yet been filed against him.
