An official stated the event wasn't supposed to be a celebration of Traficant's release? Then what was it supposed to be, then??

14. I lived right next door to his district.
I liked the guy too, met him personally, told it as he saw it and didnt give a damn what anyone thought. Thats why the powers to be in his own party hated him. He didnt "play along". However he was also crooked. What a shame.
