I never read long posts. He is a piece of poop.

[AGreatPer]

What a thing to wake up to for breakfast. Yuck.

Try not to let it happen again.

The transcript is altogether a remarkable document--not because of anything Lindsey said, but because it shows Ben-Veniste doing everything he could to shut down Giuffra's line of inquiry

But...but..but....Ben-Veniste indicated he values "shaking trees."

Would Ben-Veniste derail an investigation?(/sarcasm)

Well, Albert Wang read the whole thing, mostly. My lips were tired at the end.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I read too slow and that post was typed really fast.

If Ben-Veniste client Truman Arnold's business dealings with terror flight school owner Wally Hilliard come under scrutiny in the 9/11 probe, the slick Washington lawyer may find himself involved in a major national scandal from two different sides.

INTREP - Ben Veniste Slime

I can't believe that this article has gotten so little attention. I was about to repost it, but decided to try to give it a bump, instead. The connection to Gorelick in the obstruction of the campaign finance investigation is striking. What did Ben Veniste know about the wall and when did he know it is the question, now.

[Eva]

A repeat question in regard to the campaign finance investigation, What did Ben Veniste know about the Gorelick wall and when did he know it?

[Eva]

Did you see this article?

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks harpu for finding this trail of filth and posting it.

The rest of you, please ping your lists and for your files.

[Ben Bolt]

This guy is beginning to get under the light of day ..

[texasbluebell]

Howlin, have you read this article? Sorry if you were already pinged but thought you'd want to see it, if you haven't already.

And the same quality of representation that has elevated Ben-Veniste into the Washington pantheon--one of the Top 50 lawyers in town, in Washingtonian's reckoning--has also left a distasteful trail of ethical flotsam stirred up in the wake of his confrontational style. There are questions about the propriety of his conduct toward those who come up against him--and even toward those on his side. And his representation of Arnold raises questions about his compliance with a tough D.C. bar rule regulating government and private employment.

Yep, we see this and it screams "Disqualification!" for the 9-11 Commission. Wheras for the Dems, it screams the opposite.

Ben-VeNasty could play the part right out of central casting for the Armani $2000 suited, pin-striped, oily, sneering Mob Lawyer wearing the most expensive Gucci tassled wingtips. The fact that is precisely what he is only burnishes his image.

The GOP ought to insert his smarmy visage into every campaign ad from now until November. The Election would be a lock!
