McClellan's Lawyer Defended Lynne Stewart

Agrees To Testify Against Cheney About Plame

So much for Scott McClellan's claims to move beyond the partisanship of Washington. The former White House Press Secretary has agreed to tesify about the disclosure of Valerie Plame's identity before Democratic Rep. John Conyers' House Judiciary Committee.

Sadly, it now appears that Scott is less of "useful idiot" than a closet liberal. The Associated Press identifies McClellan's legal team as Michael and Jane Tigar.

Michal Tigar represented terrorist sympathizer lawyer Lynne Stewart, who served prison time after being convicted of assisting her client Sheikh Omar Abdul-Rahman, also known as "The Blind Sheikh." Rahman was convicted of plotting the first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.

Michal Tigar has an interesting self interview about being Lynne Stewart's attorney.

A few of Tigar's clients:

Chicago Eight defendants

Seattle Eight defendants

H. Rap Brown

Angela Davis

Cesar Chavez's son Fernando

Chicano Peace Movement leader Rosalio Muñoz

John Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is a signatory of the Revolutionary Communist Party call to "Drive Out the Bush Regime".

Click on link just below and see: "Endorsers of the Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime Include". Conyers' endorsement appears right after Ward Churchill's. Maxine Waters' is further down. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson Jr's are also there:

Fact: World Can't Wait--Drive Out the Bush Regime IS a MAOIST- revolutionary movement initiated and controlled by the Revolutionary Communist Party. (scroll down the list that appears (after clicking link) to find the World Can't Wait organization --rwor.org is the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party):
http://rwor.org/a/rwlink/links.htm

From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
Profile: World Can't Wait (WCW)

*Revolutionary communist movement that stages protests against the Bush administration

*Organizes college and high-school students

*Founded in June 2005 by Charles Clark Kissinger, a longtime leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7213

From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org) :
"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power. We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning. And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

Also from the Revolutionary Communist Party website: "Tearing Up the U.S. Paper Tiger in Korea: How 300,000 Chinese Troops Snuck into Korea and Kicked the Ass of the U.S. Armed Forces" RW #1059, June 18, 2000:

Here's the Revolutionary Communist Party (see link) boasting of a FULL PAGE 'World Can't Wait--Drive Out the Bush Regime' ad of theirs which appeared in the New York Slimes. (either "rwor.org" or "revcom.us" takes you to the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party). The NY Times has since allowed several additional full-page RCP/WCW ads.
Article title: "Who Hated the Bush Step Down Ad in the New York Times? ...And what that Tells Us About Why We Must and How We Can Drive Out the Bush Regime"(actual title)

Revolution interview with "Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan: October 29, 2005:
('Revolution' is the newspaper of the Revolutionary Communist Party)
http://rwor.org/a/021/cindy-sheehan-interview.htm

On Oct 5, 2006, democrat chair of the House Judiciary Committee, GAVE A SPEECH to the World Can't Wait--Drive Out the Bush Regime organization...the "anti-war" front for the Revolutionary Communist Party! Here's full-page coverage of it from the WCW website:
http://www.worldcantwait.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3114&Itemid=243

______________________________________________________________

For anyone who doesn't know, the so-called "anti-war" group International A.N.S.W.E.R. was formed by leaders of the Workers World Party (and mere days after the 911 attacks). WWP is a collection of pro-North Korea Stalinists based in New York City. When A.N.S.W.E.R. was eventually outed as a communist front, WWP started up a new "peace" group called Troops Out Now. Democrat chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Charlie Rangel, actually gives speeches at their rallies and the New York City media looks the other way -also is never confronted by Hannity or O'Reilly about it.

Here is a photo (from the WWP's own website) of chairman Rangel at the podium of a March 19, 2005 WWP/TON "anti-war" rally in NYC. March 19, 2005 marked the 2nd anniversary of the start of the Iraq war. Other prominent lefties who spoke at the rally were the former attorney general under democrat president LBJ, Ramsey Clark , and Lynne Stewart , convicted of aiding islamic terrorists. Clark heads the International Action Center and had a major role in the formation of A.N.S.W.E.R. All three organizations, The International Action Center, Troops Out Now and Workers World Party have headquarters at the same exact location in New York City.

From the website of the Workers World Party, workers.org:

"On July 9 (1994), Workers World Party Chairperson Sam Marcy sent the following statement to Comrade Kim Jong Il, the Central Committee of the Workers Party of Korea and the State Funeral Committee of President Kim Il Sung.":

"Dear Comrade Kim Jong Il ...

The National Committee of Workers World Party extends our deepest condolences on the passing of the great leader of the Korean people, Comrade President Kim Il Sung.

Comrade Kim Il Sung devoted his whole life to the Korean people's struggle for national self-determination and the international working-class struggle for socialist emancipation. With his leadership, the Korean people defeated the Japanese colonial occupation and soon after brought about the first defeat of the U.S. imperialist military machine.

For over 40 years since the armistice, the U.S. military has continued to occupy the south of Korea with troops and nuclear weapons. This occupation has been the chief obstacle to peaceful reunification of Korea and poses the chief danger of a new war on the peninsula." ...

"Workers World Party values our close, comradely relations with the Workers Party of Korea very highly. We are proud to have known Kim Il Sung as a great leader and a comrade in the international communist movement. ...

With comradely solidarity, Sam Marcy Chairperson, Workers World Party":

Tigar was also Terry Nichols' attorney.

He used to be a professor at the University of Texas Law School, he's now at American University's Washington College of Law.

Snotty has some interesting handlers.

There’s a story here. A couple of scenarios come to mind.

In a way GWB deserves Scott McClellan.  That's what you get when you don't vet, you don't know how to vet -- or you ignore what you found out.

This administration squandered its opportunities from day one:

  * It didn't investigate any of the Clinton scandals including the death of Vince Foster and the theft of records from his office

  * It both ignored and covered up the trashing of the White House when the Arkansas trailer trash left town -- along with the silverware

  * It retained the services of Clintonoids such as bumbling George Tenet and uber-lefty Norman Mineta

That's just the beginning of the list.  Feel free to add more.

And he’s going to testify in front of Congress.

What a classless skunk.

WHY do I think there’s more to this than we know (yet)?

Will he testify under oath, or is this just a courtesy call to help with his book sales?

“Sadly, it now appears that Scott is less of “useful idiot” than a closet liberal.”
The President surrounded himself with people like this and it is difficult to find an adequate explanation for it. One is left to believe that he was so naive that he thought such ill advised practices would contribute to bi partisanship. Could a very intelligent man have been so misled?
