Newsy Notes from the Lynne Stewart Persecution
Today was sort of a Little Big Horn for the Custer-prosecution. They weren't as pummled by arrows as Custer - it was more like they had pebbles thrown at them until they were out of the saddle, in a hole and having desert sand pelted over their half dead corpses by the tribe's children.
I had the bad luck to miss the exciting a.m. portion. I thought there would be a long bit of bickering over this dumb FOX News snippet so I dawdled in late. Evidently I missed a great bit of oratorical dec by Lynne Stewart. Cr*p - so read official transcripts when they come out for Nov. 11. Should be posted in a day or so.
The prosecution has a new tack. Since most schemes have gone the way of Ralph Kramdon get-rick-quick schemes they have a new one. This one is to try and make it appear that she is not after all the lead attorney for the blind Shiek's appeal to return to Egyptian custody. She is in fact a radical Mata-Hari. She only pretends to be a big shot attorney but is really sneaking 'messages' into the Shiek and sneaking out calls to violence, mayhem and ship sinking. She uses the ruse of lawyer to accomplish this and to PROVE it they have this sort of a rider onto a SAMS document (or some paper similar) that got faxed for use by colleagues. And since she doesn't have familiarity with this item the jury can slyly conclude that she ain't on top of much in her office (the high power Commie law office with the big budget for those Lear jets to Minn.) -- and MUST be Mata Hari. Any real lawyer would memorize every document in the office as well as every news clipping. To drive home the point the prosecution stalled on this point and asked the same thing over and over.
OK so they drove that one home like Bush Jr. talking about Saddam and WMDs.
Then Stewart team rests and defence of Mr. Sattar starts. Now he had earlier legal translation work with the Shiek than Stewart. He worked with Ramsey Clark. So defence called the Texan in to testify. He went to the witness stand and seemed unassuming. At 76 he had some problems with his hearing aid and he didn't respond with tv crime show dramamatics. But when asked about his biography and he described his being Assist. Attorney General in the 60's and his early work assuring the safety of the Selma vote marchers you could hear a pin drop! This, days after the stolen election that still shames us all. He went slowly on about his official duties and career ascent. Then he talked about social justice concerns etc. He gave more info about going to Cairo and they displayed photos of him, the defendant, Mr. Sattar and the Sheik's family members in a homey setting which adds a 'face' to the days of wire-tap tapes about family letters read to the Sheik. And asked about his professional association later with Lynne Stewart on the blind Sheik legal cause he said she was a colleague and more like the team leader. Pow! Custer fell =thunk= out of the saddle.
Ah. Sweet.
Like a Reggie Jackson homerun.
Team Leader.
