TARGET: TRAFICANT
The outrageous never-before-told inside story of how the
Justice Department, the Israeli lobby and the mass media
conspired to set up and take down Ohio’s outspoken
Congressman Jim Traficant . . .

. . . From the pen of AFP correspondent Michael Collins Piper—the only journalist
Jim Traficant agreed to speak to from prison after being convicted on trumped-up
corruption charges. Traficant wouldn’t even speak to The New York Times!

If you ever had any doubt THE MASS MEDIA IN AMERICA played a consider-
able role in the illicit set-up and take-down of

inside the Justice Department and the FBI. Time

A-2 AMERICAN FREE PRESS • September 8, 2008 TARGET: TRAFICANT

Here’s the Evidence Proving Beyond Any

Jim Traficant refuses to accept a presidential pardon (or a reduction in his
federal prison term) for this very simple reason: he will not agree to admit
to—and apologize for—crimes he did not commit . . .

In TARGET: TRAFICANT, veteran author Michael Collins Piper—whom Jim Traficant has said was the only journalist
to tell his story truthfully and correctly from the beginning—has assembled this eye-opening and disturbing overview of the
campaign by high-level forces to set up and take down the no-nonsense populist congressman.
If you have ever had any doubts about Traficant’s integrity—doubts instilled by a long-standing media cacophony
attacking Traficant—you’ll soon realize that the Traficant case represents one of the most outrageous and thoroughly illegal
hit-and-run operations ever orchestrated in our “democracy.” It is perhaps all too representative of the high-level corruption
for which the “Justice” Department has been found responsible time and time again.
Piper dissects the intrigues of the Justice Department and the FBI (as well as the maneuvers by the federal judge who
oversaw the Traficant trial) and demonstrates, beyond any doubt, that Jim Traficant was absolutely innocent of all of the
charges on which he was convicted . . .

Twenty years ago, Michael Collins Piper was the

only journalist on the entire planet to expose the
outrageous Justice Department and FBI frame-up
of Pennsylvania State Treasurer Budd Dwyer . . .
On January 21, 1987, following his conviction on
trumped-up corruption charges and facing a lengthy
prison term, Dwyer continued to protest his innocence;
and—at a crowded press conference broadcast on live
television—Dwyer shot himself. Moments before he
died, Dwyer begged for the press to tell his story, but his
plea was ignored by the major media. Independent jour-
nalist Michael Collins Piper was the only one to take up
Dwyer’s challenge . . . Now—in TARGET: TRAFICANT—Piper has turned his attention to the equally outrageous
(and successful) campaign by the Justice Department and the FBI to destroy Jim Traficant.

TARGET: TRAFICANT features a special appendix outlining

the whole shocking story of the Budd Dwyer affair!

“Racketeering” “Tax Evasion” “Bribery”—ALL LIES!

TARGET: TRAFICANT is not comfortable reading but is a “must” for those who
want to understand how and why one of the best men ever to serve in
Congress was railroaded into prison. This story tells much about who really
runs America and how they destroy those who stand in their way—a warning
to all Americans that “it can happen here” and that it has . . .
