NOT ENTIRELY COMPOSED WHEN DEPOSED. That would be Democratic gubernatorial nominee Ed Rendell, who was recently deposed in a federal lawsuit in which he is a defendant.

Rendell appeared at times angry, frustrated and incredulous over some of the questions asked during the June 14 deposition in Philadelphia. More than once, he threatened to walk out of the proceedings.

I understand that Rendell jumped up from his seat fists raised to assult Don Adams during the Dep.

He was restrained by his attorney or he would have battered Don in a lawsuit for being battered.

No report on who is restraining Klayman and Company from filing assult charges on behalf of Don Adams, but this is par for the JW course

John Morris, the Teamster thug who was videotaped leading the assult and battery of Don and Teri died four years after the incident ...... but JW NEVER got around to deposing him

Perhaps they were afraid they'd win one

Perhaps Don should consider filing charges for assult against Rendell. Though the last time when he filed against John Morris and the Teamsters with the entire incident on video tape, in a Kafka-esque / Alice-through-the-looking-glass twist, the Philly prosecutor Lynn Abrams charged Don with assault dispite clear video evidence to the contrary

Now it appears he is being beaten down by his attorneys

God Bless you Don & Teri

Thanks for posting this article. I lost touch with Teri and wondered what was happening with their civil suit.

I am concerned about the types of questions Larry asked. Maybe I'd have to read the entire transcript to understand their relevance, but they're almost silly, don't you think?

God bless Don and Teri.

I can't believe this I am hearing. The teamsters would never ever use muscle to help the democRATS. Would they?

On the one hand, it could be relevant to a RICO-type allegation. Mob and organized crime.

On the other hand, does anyone remember the lawsuit against Montel Williams for sexual harassment? It started with reasonable allegations from two women who worked for him. Over time, the lawyer introduced more and more co-plaintiffs that were more and more absurd. The judge threatened t throw it out if he added another bizarre plaintiff to the suit. The lawyer did, and the judge threw it out. I always thought that Montel's people got to the lawyer and bribed him to make the case seem absurd and get it thrown out, to diffuse the reputation damage done to him better than a settlement could have.

Larry Klayman makes alot of noise, but who has ever been convicted by one of his actions? He seems like a ringer(?) or a shill(?), someone who files this and that to make us feel like something is being done, when nothing is. And once he takes legal action, nobody else can, so the case is lost permanently.

Thanks for the report. God bless Don and Terri Adams.

I didn't know thug Morris was dead.......restraining comment here.

Rendell is a thug also.

Glad he is being deposed.

But the question about organized crime and JFK seems ridiculous to be asking in the Adams case, don't you think?

Clinton thugs all operate the same way as Rendell:

They fume and fuss and intimidate and always, always, always out-shout their opponents and/or refuse to be nailed down to answer any incriminating questions.

At least Rendell is being made to answer some questions and if he tried to assault Don Adams during the dep - I wish somebody videotaped it and this can be replayed.....leading up to this election would make a nice campaign "film", don't you think?

Elle Bee, thanks so much for pinging me on this.

Rendell, who had characterized some of the slogans of the anti-Clinton protesters as "disgusting,"

Hold on, HOLD THE CLINTON ON.

Rendell wasn't there. He doesn't know what slogans we used. But he knew ahead of time what he was going to say about them.

I walked through the crowd of Teamsters extensively before the outbreak of hostilities. While I did this, I noticed at least two or three signs that said something to the effect of, "We won't let anyone insult Hillary and Chelsea". That stuck in my mind because nobody in history had insulted Hillary and Chelsea more than a certain draft-dodging rapist, and yet who were they there to support? The hypocrisy (or "compartmentalization" as the Clinton administration called it) astounded me, and I felt a chill of foreboding when I saw the sentiment repeated.

After the violence, Johnny Morris got before the cameras and claimed that the violence was in response to "anti-Hillary" and "anti-Chelsea" slogans being shouted by the patriots. Then later on TV, I saw Rendell repeating the same lies. Now, how did he know to say that? It was because it was one of the pre-arranged agreed-upon talking points. They knew there was going to be violence, and knew what the cover story was going to be.

Of course nothing of the kind was shouted by anybody; I look forward to testifying to that in court. It will come as no surprise when I do, because I told the Teamster lawyers as much when they vigorously debriefed me for almost eight hours in January.

Here's the subpoena I fulfilled in January. I might point out that I provided them with many photographs, two audiotapes, six videotapes, a thick file of paper materials and a stack of computer disks, none of which have been returned to me.

I'll also mention a surprising interrogation tactic employed by the Teamsters. I was expecting to be deposed by thick-necked, spittle-spraying, spleen-venting pit bulls like James Lyons or Brian McMonagle, who defended the Local in the criminal phase. I was prepared to stand up against bullies. As it turned out, the lawyer for the local was an older professorial gentleman, and the I.B.T. lawyer was a young, friendly, four-star bombshell. Smart, too. She knew what to ask and how to ask it to get a favorable response.

Most of the deposition was spent going over my FreeRepublic postings line-by-line.

Paul Orfanedes of Judicial Watch and Joe Adams (Don's lawyer cousin) were also there to cross-examine me.

Yeah, but women and vegetarians lack the muscle to do real damage.

A good source of background for the Don Adams case is my series of notes taken at the pretrial hearing of Teamsters Kevin McNulty and Marc Nardone, on February 10, 1999.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4
