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.

I sure hope that the case isn't lost by the time they get to you.
