Civil Rights Lawyer Sentenced to 28 Months (Lynne Stewart)

NEW YORK -- Civil rights lawyer Lynne Stewart was sentenced to 28 months in prison in federal court in Manhattan Monday. She was convicted of providing support to terrorists by helping a jailed Egyptian sheik communicate with his followers on the outside.
Before sentencing, her lawyer told the judge that any prison sentence for Stewart would be a death sentence because of her serious health problems.
Stewart pleaded with the judge to allow her to live out the rest of her life "productively, lovingly, righteously.''
Assistant US Attorney Andrew Dember rejected defense suggestions that Stewart's conduct was judged differently after
9-11.
"This case had nothing to do with September 11,'' Dember told the judge. "What she was doing was smuggling terrorism messages and smuggling out Abdel-Rahman's responses.''
When Stewart arrived at the courthouse this morning, about 150 supporters chanted "Free Lynne, Free Lynne.''
Federal prosecutors say she had released a statement by Omar Abdel-Rahman, a blind sheik sentenced to life in prison after he was convicted in plots to blow up five New York landmarks and assassinate Egypt's president.

Hey, everyone, when discussing this jihadist-loving scumbag Lynne Stewart, keep in mind that the b.s. propaganda being spewed by her leftist buddies at the mis-named "Center for Constitutional Rights" is total crap (of course) -- they got this squishy imbecile of a Clintonista judge to buy the line that if her actions could not be linked with a specific terrorist event then she did not really do so much of anything. Every MSM article should have led with "Lynne Stewart, who illegally aided the terrorists who committed the Luxor Massacres, among many other heinous crimes...." Instead, the MSM has been white-washing her as "Lynne Stewart, civil rights attorney" -- here is what her terrorist buddies actually DID do, including beheadings and embowelments:
============================================================ November 1997 Luxor massacre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_1997_Luxor_massacre
The Luxor Massacre took place on 17 November 1997, at Deir el-Bahri, an archaelogical site located across the River Nile from Luxor in Egypt. Deir el-Bahri is one of Egypt's top tourist attractions, most notably for the spectacular Memorial Temple of 18th-dynasty female pharaoh Hatshepsut, known as "Djeser-Djeseru".
In the mid-morning attack, Islamic terrorists from Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya ("The Islamic Group") and Jihad Talaat al-Fath ("Holy War of the Vanguard of the Conquest"), both of which are suspected of having ties to al-Qaeda massacred 62 tourists at the attraction. The assailants, who numbered six and were armed with automatic firearms and knives, were disguised as members of the security forces. They descended on the Temple of Hatshepsut at around 08:45 and massacred 62 people, their modus operandi including beheadings and disembowellings. The attackers then hijacked a bus, but armed Egyptian tourist police and military forces arrived soon afterwards and engaged in a gun battle with the six terrorists, who were later killed or committed suicide.
....
A total of 58 foreign tourists were killed: 35 Swiss, 10 Japanese, six Britons, four Germans, one French, one Colombian, and a dual-national Bulgarian/Briton. Four Egyptians were killed, three of them police officers and one of them a tour guide. Twelve Swiss, two Japanese, two Germans, one French, and nine Egyptians were among the wounded.

Hopefully she'll share a cell with someone who has 10 or 20 family members in the US Marine Corps.:)
I don't think old Lynne will be singing any encores !

What about the death penalty?

What about the death penalty?Apparently wasn't in play here. But 30 years would have amounted to life for the hag.

In war time, treason should be punishable by death with no appeals. Blindfold, cigarette, wall and one bullet. Easy as it can be.

If you're thinking Stewart is the granddaughter of the Rosenbergs, that's incorrect. Stewart's lawyer, Rachel Meeropol, is their granddaughter.

Lot of other connections to the most radical left activists in recent American history, inlcuding Ramsey Clark, Weather Underground activist Kathy Boudin (daughter of a radical leftists lawyer as well) who was partner with Linda Evans who was pardoned by Clinton on his way out the door after she served less than half of a forty or fifty year sentence, and there's a lot more.
This happened in Manhattan, Hillary's territory, and Hillary was responsible for most of the federal judiciary and Justice Department appointemnts during the administration.
Koeltl is part of an old network of radical leftists.
It was "In your face" to the American public for Koeltl to announce that Stewart should skate because of her service as a defense lawyer to "civil rights" when what she really was was defense counsel for a bunch of terrorists, and she used her role as an attorney to effect the crime for which she was convicted, a foreign terrorist, and therein lies his insult.
But yeah, Republicans grousing about congressional Republicans not doing everything they wanted done should just stay home on Nov. 7. That way we can usher in another Clinton administration and get even more of these traitors appointed to the bench.

Without comment on her personal apearance, those eyes tell me someone just learned the limits of how "open-minded" and a lib can be before the common sense portion of the brain falls out right out on the ground. Too late to reel it back in this time. LOL

Ugh. It IS sick-making, especially when one considers how much "mercy and justice" were given to the hundreds in the WTC who were trapped above the fire floors, dying a tortuous miserable death.
Kuby remains clueless.

Before sentencing, her lawyer told the judge that any prison sentence for Stewart would be a death sentence because of her serious health problems. If I looked in the mirror and saw that, I'd be sick too.
What is this lawyer bellyaching about? She'll be getting free health care in jail.
She should be set loose in Afghanistan and followed wherever she goes.

If that's the case --- which is doubtful, since all leftists are liars --- then it's the only thing about this measly sentence that would have any justice to it.
