Here is some interesting info:

Robert Bauer, Obama's new WH Counsel, was a partner at Perkins Coie, the law firms that is best known for the pro bono defense (logged about a third of their total workload) of Salim Ahmed Hamdan, aka Saqr al-Jedawi, Osama Bin Laden’s former chauffeur and good buddy of Nasser Al-Bahri who was linked to the bombing of the American Destroyer U.S.S. Cole. The case, which the law group brought to the Supreme Court: Salim Ahmed Hamdan versus Donald H. Rumsfeld, et al. With charges dropped as unconstitutional, Hamdan was held as an enemy combatant and brought up on new charges July 21, 2008. He was sentenced to five and a half years imprisonment, but had already served five. He was cleared of terrorism and conspiracy charges and transferred to Yemen where he was released January 8, 2009.

Then if you consider Holder was instrumental in:

1) Pardons of Weather Underground terrorists Linda Evans and Susan Rosenberg who were transporting 740 pounds of explosives for use in bombings.

2) Clemency for 16 FALN terrorists, withholding information from Congress and AG Janet Reno and overriding the FBI's own opposition to clemency for the FALN terrorists who were part of a terrorist campaign that included a wave of terror carrying out 130 bombings over nearly a decade.

3) The pardon of Marc Rich.

4) Helping Chiquita secure a slap-on-the-wrist plea deal to charges that it funded two Columbian terrorist death squads. Among the most savage of its many massacres was a 1998 attack on an Urabá village in which they murdered 11 peasants after burning them with acid to force them to confess they were guerrillas.

Given these facts, the timing of Bauer's appointment coinciding with the Holder decision on the terrorists was already a little unnerving. The newest development that the remarks made by Obama and Holder could cause a mistrial are just downright frightening. Whose side are they on?

Wow I knew he and his wife were radical but not this bad. It puts the puzzle together.

There are rumors that Obama chose him to 'erase Obama's name from ACORN'. But it is obvious that he would not blink an eye in remorse of allowing 9/11 terrorists' a slap on the wrist.

On the other speculation that he was brought on to erase Obama’s ACORN ties.

Magician or lawyer?
