"Documents" means documents in your possession.

That's how I see it. If it's on FreeRepublic, it's a matter of public record, and they can go get it. I'm not obliged to do their research for them.

It would be advisable to bring his lawyer to his deposition. Depositions are not trials.

I'll pony up $200, if it will help. It may be you can *not* afford to be without a lawyer.

Agree with you. Funds needed here. Important cause. Can't do $200 but can do something. Don't go up against these people without a lawyer. Address? (freepmail ok)

I'm only at legal risk if I lie under oath, which is something I absolutely, positively would not do under any circumstances. Judicial Watch's case is potentially at risk from my testimony, and I voiced that concern to them, but they did not think it necessary for me to have representation. Just go in there and tell the truth, is all they told me.

You are very welcome - and it is still there if you need it...and I am sure others would help. We have not forgotten your efforts on behalf of Terri and Don Adams and your courage in standing up against the Clinton crime gang. Yes, telling the truth is always the right thing to do.....prayers will be going up for you during this event. Please take care!

In this type of case it's the preponderance of the "truth" that carries weight. In other words, the one that tells the best story to gain sympathy wins.
Is that correct?


Not in Philadelphia. Facts are secondary to what the Unions want. Name the last great company to grow out of Philadelphia...
(and if you say 'Comcast' then you aren't using their service.)

"I've been deposed seven times, Physicist, and all for bullshit-lawyers, and the last time, I couldn't remember anything!"

The least you could do here is give credit where it's due, Bar.
Here, just say, "Thank you, Hillary." :o)

"I had sold the aeroplane and hangar four years before, and I promised that lawyer that I would blow his goddam brains out, if he won any action against me!"

Well?
Gonna leave us hanging here; or, are ya on the lamb from the law?
I can just imagine the mug on the Vampire after you said that, too..."buttt-butttt-you can't SAY that!!"
BWWWAHAAAAA!!!

"Use Razors on Lawyers! They understand razors!"

Yup.
From ear to ear in one smooth, gentle, crescent-like motion.
Sure are on your game today alright, huh?

...imagine some idiot touchin' one of your gorgeous rides, eh; OUCH!! ;^)

Do you think it's wise to be posting info on an active case where you are a participant?

I do. In the first place, both the things I posted yesterday are public documents. More importantly, this case needs to be before the eye of the public. They need to be aware of the crimes that have been committed, and about the ongoing efforts to secure (or on the other side to thwart) justice. By making this as public as possible as it happens (something I, Don and Teri have tried to do all along) we destroy the ability of the Clintonistas to rewrite history after the fact.

Don't forget what they tried to do to Don Adams. They actually put him on trial, to convince the public that the victim was the perpetrator! They did everything they could to protect the aggressors at every step. Nothing is beyond these people. The more open the process is, the more information goes out before the public, the less able they are to dictate what history accepts as the truth of the matter.

For anyone else reading who might not be familiar with the incident, here's the truth of the matter. Clinton was facing the possibility of impeachment, and was ready to do anything to protect his public image. Someone at the White House called Ed Rendell (then mayor of Philadelphia) to arrange that the reception of Clinton would only be positive. Ed Rendell called his friend Johnny Morris, head of Teamsters Local 115, to bring out Teamster demonstrators, with the understanding that opposition to Clinton would not be tolerated. After the violence broke out, the Rendell administration did everything in its power to distance itself and the White House from the incident, while simultaneously manipulating the justice system in Philadelphia to protect the guilty.

But Don and Teri Adams didn't cooperate. With the support of FreeRepublic, they went after the people who beat them. At that point, the Rendell administration brought the Philadelphia justice system to bear against Don Adams, and prosecuted him on the trumped-up charge that he beat three Teamster women to precipitate the incident. He remains the only person actually to stand trial as a result of the incident. (He was acquitted.) The Teamsters copped lenient pleas. It is worth noting that Ed Rendell has publicly admitted that the Teamsters control the Philadelphia courts.

Ed Rendell was rewarded for his skullduggery with the chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee. Johnny Morris escaped legal consequences, but received a worse fate: partly as a result of the Adams beating case, Teamster Local 115 was raided by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. What they found as a result was enough to put the Local into trusteeship, and to strip Johnny Morris of his position in the union.

"...teamster's atty's are going to attempt to paint the Klintoon protesters as a near riotous, disorderly crowd that taunted the teamsters into reflexive action."

Best of luck to you in your deposition, Physicist. I'll be glad to chip in for a lawyer too, if you decide you don't want to go there naked. :) It's been quite a while since the events of that day, and as Hil'ry has abundantly demonstrated, memories fade as time passes.

As an aside, FReeper LukeFReeman can vouch for the fact that if a mounted policeman hadn't ridden his horse inbetween me and a huge muscle-bound union goon at one of our FReeps in Orlando against Gore/Loserman 2000, I, too, would probably have been in a "Don Adams situation".

I don't know why a big goon like him would resent being exposed in front of everyone as a typical DemocRAT dependent, feminized male who needs to rely on "government assistance" to help him take care of his family.:D

BWA HA! HA!

My dear Janet! I hate to break the news to you, the policeman was protecting the feminized male
from the wrath of Matchett-PI!

You have them pegged. Good Luck and thanks for your efforts to counter these bozos.
