Yesterday, a lawyer named Lynne Stewart was convicted for having fi nally followed through on her convictions.
Having said for years that she believed violence was an appropriate way to express political and cultural anger against an unjust system, Stewart stopped merely advocating evil and became an active participant in causing evil.
Having spent decades defending domestic terrorists, she became a party to international terrorism. Having worked on behalf of those who wanted to kill and maim and destroy people in the name of radical change, she decided to stop outsourcing the job and do it herself.
A jury yesterday found Stewart guilty of using her privileged position as the lawyer of the so-called "Blind Sheik," who masterminded the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, to pass messages between the jailed terrorist and his terrorist followers in Egypt.
During a visit to Sheik Omar Abdel el-Rahman's cell in Minnesota in 2000, she and a translator conspired to distract prison officials in order to receive and later deliver a coded directive whose purpose was to initiate new terrorist acts in Egypt.
The sheik spoke the directive to the translator, who transmitted it to Egypt. But there was some question in Egypt about its authenticity — until Stewart called a press conference to authenticate it.
What passed between the sheik and Stewart was not an attorney-client matter, which would have been considered confidential, but rather a terrorist communication in the guise of an attorney-client discussion.

...and may she rot in jail.
Bet she's friends with Ward Churchill...
...and Mumia.
I think it is criminal to keep these sick or warped people alive. Send her to God ASAP.
Good article! Defending the monstrosities of crime, rather than just the crimonal, makes one a monster. This lady, using that term with the utmost liberality, turned herself into human garbage on her own. I can only hope that her cheerleaders are quite stupid in regards to her defense. If not, they also fall within the human garbage pile.
Well... she will most likely end in the purgatory.
I can think of a few convictions for Hillary, Jacques-Effin, Teddy, i42, etc., etc.....
I'm not of that faith, she goes straight to hell.
Let them open the court on a holiday and sentence her on July 4.
A bitch slap that was well deserved. I hope she gets 20 and serves 10 - and is carried out of prison in a hearse.
Sentencing is in July?
I presume that this disgusting pig is presently in custody?
Is that Maddy Halfbright's third cousin - half removed? Or Helen Thomas's?
Npe, she's FRee on $500,000 bail until sentencing.
Seeing her picture, it appears the rotting started long ago. Seesh! My grandfather always said "If you harbor hate it will eat you up from the inside out." She and Ward Churchill both look like the festering is coming to the surface.

One year ago...
...Mrs. KERRY-Funded National Lawyers Guild member
Attorneys LYNNE STEWART & LANNY DAVIS, a CLINTON Impeachment Defense Attorney, teamed up to postpone 1983 Chino Hills Slasher KEVIN COOPER's date with his California executioner.
The Enemy is now Within...
and always has been.
.
somebody got the short end of the stick when you're talking Maddy and Hellen .. in fact , I'd blame somebody wacking 'em all with extreme prejudice and a big stick when ya look at 'em.
Dear exnavy:
Who the hell asked you for your opinion? She's your problem; DEAL WITH HER.
Sincerly,
God
Looks like Tookie and then hopefully Kevin Cooper get the next couple of rounds of shots unless more meddlers like Lanny and Lynne intrude.
NATIONAL LAWYERS GUILD CALLS FOR A NATIONAL DAY OF OUTRAGE IN RESPONSE TO LYNNE STEWART VERDICT
Get a life
.
Oh, the Times they are a'changing...
...like BOB DYLAN could never have imagined..?
.
... here's hoping Stewart's Conviction is for a long, loooong time.
Judging from that horrid picture in post 4, I'd say decomposition has already taken place.
Excuse me while I go bleach my brain.
Re. photo in #4:
"Thee buh, thee buh, thee buh, that's all, folks!"
.
LYNNE-LANNY and their...
CLINTON-KERRY backers...
would rather register...
KEVIN-KOOKIE to vote...
than have them finally held...
accountable for their...
acts of darkness...
during the 1980's.
.
Ugly as sin. Is she in jail now? Or walking around free until sentencing? If she can possibly do so, she'll undoubtedly sneak off to Havana or Darfur to blend in with her own kind.
Never forget that MoveOn.Org was the brain child of the National Lawyers Guild.
Lanny Davis is also a member of the communist Lawyers' Guild? Wow, that's a revelation. There was an article here this morning that explained the Guild's shift from defending communists to defending Islamists. Basicly it came down to the enemy of my enemy is my friend, despite the many differences in philosophy between the communists and the radical Islamists. The National lawyers Guild and their associated socialist groups have moved from utopian dreamers to US hating activists (terrorists?)
She had signed a legally binding document promising not to do any such thing so that she could see the sheik in the first place. Apparently, she figured there was no way the government could prove she had knowingly been involved in transmitting the terrorist message. What she didn't know was that everything going on in the sheik's cell was being taped.
In those taped conversations, Stewart and the sheik actually gloated about how they were tricking prison officials.
Evil and stupid.
Here she is speaking into the red microphone at the Sparks Fly conference of Political Prisoners US.
Her conviction is a great moment for civilization.
The more pertinent question is, why the delay in sentencing? It doesn't take an "Einstein" to figure out that the only posible motive for delaying the asessment of an appropriate penalty for her crimes are motive that would work solely in her favor, or indeed, offer her an opportunity to flee the country for France or some other refuge...
the infowarrior
Yikes.....she's probably a FemiNazi also which means that Rush was right about ferminism.....it;s for FREAKING UGLY WOMEN who don't have an iota of feminism about them. Any one know of a feminine feminist???
AAAGGGGHHHHH!!!
Man, you got to give a guy some warning before you post something like that.
I may have nightmares now.
what kind of time did she get?
Thanks for the ping Ronnie...Ughhhh! I knew some of the Weathermen when I was young! It's funny how pieces to the puzzle are all falling into place for all to see.
She hasn't yet. Sentencing in July.
Thanks
The timeline is not unusual for federal court sentencing. A PSR, pre-sentence report, must be prepared by the federal probation office, submitted to the defendant and the prosecution prior to sentencing. They also have the opportunity to file objections or corrections to the report. That period is an additional 14 days after the report is completed. The PSR is a very extensive document, generally running 40-50 pages even in a simple case. It generally covers the defendant's life from the cradle to the time of sentencing.
