Obama-era ex-intel official secures bail for NYC lawyer suspected of hurling Molotov cocktail in George Floyd unrest
Fox News ^ | June 03 2020 | Gregg Re

A former high-level Obama administration intelligence official has guaranteed the $250,000 bail for the New York City lawyer who allegedly firebombed an unoccupied NYPD police cruiser early Saturday, calling the suspect her "best friend," Fox News has confirmed.

The Washington Free Beacon first reported that Salmah Rizvi, who served in the Defense Department and State Department during the Obama administration, went to bat for Urooj Rahman, who was arrested this weekend alongside Pryor Cashman associate Colinford Mattis.

Rizvi, an associate at the law firm Ropes & Gray, told the court: "Urooj Rahman is my best friend and I am an associate at the law firm Ropes & Gray in Washington, D.C. ... I earn $255,000 a year."

And it just so happens that with the General Mattis opening his big mouth, a search on ‘mattis’ will bring the Gen Mattis talking points up instead of this Colinford Mattis.

This guy and his friends hate a system that has bent over backwards to help them succeed. Does anyone really think he would have gotten into Princeton and Yale if he had not been black?

If they’re NLG lawyers then the financier is probably Soros or the Ford Foundation...

John Codman Ropes, the way-back-when historical cofounder of the friend’s law firm Ropes and Gray was a military historian with ties to St Petersburg Russia.

My mother always said “People will judge you by the company you keep”

This lawyer chooses to keep company with a terrorist.

Not exactly something that would suggest good judgment.

Served in the Obama administration in Intelligence - DOD and State Department? Now we know why Obama’s policies failed, possibly deliberately, certainly due to incompetence.

I guess if I were a “friend” of Ted Bundy, I should have posted his bail. Yeah right!

Obama sure chose his anti-American, Deep Staters with care and an eye to the future.

CAIR has a coterie of Marxist and islamist lawyers that they can call on instantly. I suspect that she is an Islamic Marxist. Her ties to CAIR and Soros literally guarantee that.

Rahman's biography on Ropes & Gray's website states that she was an analyst "focusing primarily on sanctioned finance operations."

You mean like giving $150 billion to Iran?
