Philadelphia - A union staffer's 2002 court declaration asserted that current governor and former Philadelphia mayor Ed Rendell (D) encouraged Teamsters to pursue assault charges against a nonviolent protester, The Bulletin has learned.
Testimony Mr. Rendell offered earlier that year differed markedly from the account. The differing versions emerge from the saga of assault victim Don Adams's arduous legal battles.
After the Teamsters agreed in March to settle his almost decade-long civil action, Mr. Adams found the justice he received welcome, if incomplete.
Mr. Adams, his sister Teri and about 40 others went to Center City to protest a visit by President Bill Clinton on Oct. 2, 1998 in anticipation of the president's impeachment for perjury and obstruction of justice. Hundreds of Teamsters, meanwhile, showed up to support Mr. Clinton.
The Cheltenham Township resident and English-language instructor carried a sign reading "Resign or get impeached" on the front and "Liar. Pervert. National Shame." on the back. Union members ripped the sign from his hands and subsequently struck him numerous times, causing him several facial bruises and cuts, a herniated disc and other bodily injuries. Teri Adams endured minor injuries as well. Five Teamsters received probation for the attacks. Mr. Adams recalled witnessing several other anti-Clinton picketers manhandled and struck by organized laborers..Philadelphia - A union staffer's 2002 court declaration asserted that current governor and former Philadelphia mayor Ed Rendell (D) encouraged Teamsters to pursue assault charges against a nonviolent protester, The Bulletin has learned.....

Incomplete Indeed!
Fast Eddie should be indicted... PRONTO!
Looking fwd to episode 2
At this point Dave, as much as I agree with you, I’d be happy to stop the thuggy Ed Rendell from going any further politically. It’s important that we get this story out!
Watergate doesn't hold a candle!

It shows Rendell, Bill and Hillary---in MASSIVE AMOUNTS of VERY DAMAGING, UNDENIABLE VIDEO---in THEIR OWN WORDS, FACES and VOICES---KNOWING about and/or PARTICIPATING in the LARGEST CAMPAIGN FINANCE VIOLATIONS---EVER!!!
After REPEATEDLY PRAISING a guy named Paul (last name) who PAID $1 Million for the star-studded Tribute to (President) Klinton, but which actually helped Hillary in HER Senatorial campaign, later can't "recall" knowing who he is.
As mayor, Rendell encouraging the perpetrators to file false charges against the victim of their brutal beating, for which the victim eventually stood trial (and was exonerated) ranks right up there, one would think. So does perjury and obstruction of justice.
Peter will have the crooked scumbag under oath soon enough. There will be some very interesting questions.

Hey, Ed, why was Aaron Tonken wearing a government wire in a meeting with you? Why did you try to bribe him with a job?
A great post, TA. This guy is going to get some additional grief for what he did.
Thanks for the plug. :) Watch the 13-minute segment leaked on lucianne.com last October. Well over 7 million people have seen it. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7007109937779036019&pr=goog-sl

I Think Fast Eddie should be shipped to Singapore and Caned
That’s the least he deserves! : )
Ping! Hey, Tribune, when you have the chance, if you could ping your list I would be ever grateful! : )
That is not good.
Maybe He need to visit singapore on a Prison Ship too!
It makes me sick when I think that sorry SOS is our governor.
This story was my first hard look at labor unions in the Northeast, after moving to PA. Mafia, unions, democrats in Philly.... I’m still stunned at how sheltered a life I lived in West Texas.
You Texans have it lucky.
I believe we are now called The Republic of Mexico....and I imagine the mexican illegals will unionize soon.
