The biggest problem was that Gibbs (the Schindlers' attorney) refused to file this as a de novo case.

Dear Lord, friend, you are so right. I was listening to Hannity's show on the drive home tonight....the legal proceedings in this case border on the criminal.

I wish I could understand why Gibbs didn't throw himself on the de novo right handed to him by Congress and the President.

I'll just never understand it.

IMNHO, Gibbs was not interested in winning this case. It didn't serve the agenda of the folks fronting his money.

Because the goal was to lose.

I'll just never understand it.

Here's a thought: it's because Randall Terry wants to play the role of Gerry Adams.
