I just read that the 'Lawyer Of The Left' Greg Craig is giving up his post. I guess Obama is throwing him under the bus before too many people catch on that this is the same guy that defended John Hinckley Jr. I doubt that it has a whole lot to do with his failure on the whole Gitmo situation.
All Obama is doing is moving him to another office with a different title, you know, just like Deniro bounced around with different job titles in 'Casino', to erase the paper trail. Yep, ole Greg has a few skeletons in his closet.
*Represented former Bolivian Defense Minister Carlos Sanchez-Berzain in “crimes against humanity” trial.
*Represented UN Secretary General Kofi Annan in the 2004 investigation of the scandalous Oil-for-Food program.
*Represented Panamanian National Assembly president Pedro Miguel Gonzalez-Pinzon, responsible for the 1992 murder of a U.S. Army soldier.
Yeah he has a history of defending corrupt foreign leaders and murderers. (among other losers)
In 1991 he represented Ted Kennedy and his accused nephew, William Kennedy Smith, in a Florida rape case where the young defendant was acquitted of the charges against him.
In 1998 Craig defended Bill Clinton during the impeachment hearings over the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal.
Yeah so this guy Bob Bauer will replace him. I wonder what kind of dirt will get dug up about this guy? I'll have to delve into that.
Here is more on it if you are interested.
