For those who don’t know, Elliot Abrams is a neocon, formerly a Democrat working with Democrat Senators who switched over to supporting Reagan when it became apparent Pres. Carter had a hollow foreign policy.
Abrhams was up to his eyeballs in Iran Contra. Lawrence Walsh, the Independent Counsel tasked with investigating the case, prepared multiple felony counts against Abrams but never indicted him. Instead, Abrams entered into a plea agreement with Walsh and pled guilty to two misdemeanors of withholding information from Congress.
On February 5, 1997, the D.C. Court of Appeals publicly censured Abrams for giving false testimony on three occasions before congressional committees.
He wasn’t exonerated of these crimes, either. He was pardoned by Pres. George W. Bush before leaving office.
Abrams is a Senior Fellow with the Council on Foreign Relations and was a member of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), an American think tank based in Washington, D.C. that lasted from 1997 to 2006. It was co-founded as a non-profit educational organization by neoconservatives William Kristol and Robert Kagan. The PNAC’s stated goal was “to promote American global leadership...” or, more succinctly, Globalism.
On February 5, 1997, the D.C. Court of Appeals publicly censured Abrams for giving false testimony on three occasions before congressional committees.
So people are suppose to believe a guy who lied 3 times?
George W. Bush pardoned him? Or was it George Herbert Walker Bush?
I read Elliot Abrams’ book years ago. I really felt bad for him the way that Lawrence Walsh destroyed his life and his finances. Imagine trying to raise a family going through what he did.
But apparently the target may have become a bully himself.
I’ve been warning the past week about all of the Trojan Horse former Democrats working with Romney...
