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?

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.

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

What most of the public is unaware of is that scoundrels like Rendell are free to lie in political campaigns, in advertisements, in press conferences, to their constituents, when taking their oath of office, anytime, anyplace, anywhere -- but when they are deposed or on the witness stand, it is a different story. Now all of a sudden, they become very careful about their answers. They can lie to everyone else, but to the court -- God Forbid.

That is why JW files these lawsuits. Often the only thing that they get out of these politico-criminals is watching them sweat out their carefully parsed answers knowing that the inquisitor is not as naive as the proletariat at large and will not settle for bovine droppings, but will make them tell the truth, something that for many of these people is akin to committing political suicide.

Like Clinton, Rendell ran Philadelphia as a franchise for himself, his family and his own political machine. Everything that Philadelphia, the City, could do was for sale to the most politically connected, and a political connection nearly always meant money.

Here's an excerpt from an April report in the Pittsburgh Tribune, Ed Rendell used to being in public eye

Lately, Rendell has been fending off queries about his job at the Philadelphia law firm of Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll for which he is paid $250,000 for doing, he admits, "very little work."

While Rendell was chairman of the board of the Philadelphia Housing Authority, the authority hired Ballard Spahr to represent the agency during an investigation by the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The OIG found that the housing authority, during Rendell's tenure, violated its own personnel policy and engaged in conflicts of interest in the hiring of politically connected employees.

The authority hired Ballard Spahr and other consultants, including an international private detective agency, to conduct its own investigation, which absolved the authority of any violations.

HUD officials, in a letter to Rendell, said the private investigators "shadowed" auditors and accused Ballard Spahr attorneys of trying to impede the probe. The federal auditors also complained that the PHA used the exit interview, a chance for the agency to respond to the findings, to criticize the OIC to "detract from the issues" in the audit.

After the March 26 letter from HUD was released, Rendell resigned as chairman of the authority. Rendell said he was planning to leave the authority anyway and denied his resignation had anything to do with the audit critical of the PHA.

Rendell joined Ballard Spahr as a partner in January 2000. The managing director of the firm is David Cohen, who served as Rendell's chief of staff while Rendell was mayor.

Like Clinton, Rendell also set up his wife. In fact, through Clinton, Rendell set up his wife.

Marjorie (Midge) Osterlund-Rendell, Judge, United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

As I understand that's two federal judiciary appointments by Clinton. One to the Federal Bench, and a follow-up to the court of Appeals.

Guess the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee found Mrs. Rendell to be kind of team player we need on the Federal Bench.

Clinton required a bit more than a good word. As I understand and remember from a source who worked with Mr. Rendell, Clinton required 250,000 good words, transfered from Rendells campaign chest to one of Team Clinton's. $250,000 for the Judgeship, $250,000 for the Appeals level.

Who says Judges can't be fair? Why of course a Judge can be fair. Just sometimes there's a fee for fairness.

Rendell would not agree to stay for the entire three hours the court was allowing Klayman to question him.

Gee,I wonder what would happen to any of US who told a judge they would walk away from a court proceeding they were ordered to be at?

BTW,all you NRA members should know that Rendell and the LaPierre/senile Heston clique are bestest buddies. So good in fact that the NRA agreed to ban conclealed weapons by PA CCW permit holders at the NRA convention in Philly!

Rendell is running for governor and needs no bad publicity. Klayman is pushing his buttons. It's seems to me that Klayman is putting his agenda ahead of the Adams' by using Rendell as a cat toy.

Not a Rendell fan by any means, but I'd need to see the transcript before passing judgement against Rendell's responses. Klayman is known to get a bit "out-there" and I wouldn't be all that surprised if he did pursue a line of wacky and irrelevant theories.

Things started poorly even before the Adamses' attorney, Larry Klayman of the Washington, D.C.-based public interest firm Judicial Watch, asked the first question. Rendell would not agree to stay for the entire three hours the court was allowing Klayman to question him.

Whoever this Adams guy is, he must have really taken a mental beating. There's no other way to explain why he would have hired Klayman as his lawyer. Maybe FIJC has something to add.

All of the questions cited in the article were inappropriate and not reasonably calculated to lead to admissible evidence. Normally, Rendell's lawyer would simply instruct Rendell not to answer, and that would be that. Just why Rendell choose to make this a circus is a mystery. Maybe the guy has a hot temper. Maybe he lacks the temperment to be governor.

This man needs to be defeated. For a Dem, he is not all bad - but he is a NARAL supported pro-abort (NARAL helped him defeat Casey in the primary) and tried to get Philly to jump on the gun lawsuit bandwagon when doing that was the fad (until the trial lawyers found out we shoot back).

I have met him in person and he is a likable guy - has a very friendly demeanor. That makes him a bit more formidalbe as a result, if people go by the personality instead of his record.

Make sure you let your pro-life friends and pro 2nd friends to vote Fisher (or at least NOT vote Rendell).

Rendell reacted similarly when Klayman asked if he had ever heard the hypothesis that the Teamsters had played a role in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. At this point, Rendell cradled his head in his hands and said, "This whole thing boggles my mind."

Is Larry trying to get this thrown out of court?

John Morris, the Teamster thug who was videotaped leading the assult and battery of Don and Teri died.....

Good I hope that he is in hell with the rest of the clinton worshippers and enablers who have gone on to their eternal reward.
