D.C. Clothesline – by EowynA week ago on April 21, 2014, the White House announced that W. Neil Eggleston, a well-known criminal defense attorney, will be Obama’s new White House counsel upon the May 2014 departure of Kathryn Ruemmler.
Keith Koffler of whitehousedossier.com says Eggleston is the kind of guy you go to when someone tells you, “time to lawyer up.”
Eggleston, 60, has an impressive recordof defending political figures fromcriminal charges, including:
- From 1987 until 1988, Eggleston served as deputy chief counsel for the U.S.House of Representatives Select Committee to Investigate Covert Arms Transactions with Iran, which investigated the Iran-Contra Affair.
- From 1993 until 1994, Eggleston was White House associate counsel congressional investigations into then-President Bill Clinton’s Whitewater real estate transactions.
- After leaving the White House, Eggleston represented Clinton’s transportation secretary Federico Peña, and his labor secretary Alexis Herman during corruption investigations, although no charges were ever filed.
- In 2001, Eggleston represented Cheryl Mills, who was a board member of the William J. Clinton Presidential Library foundation, during a congressional investigation into Clinton’s last-minute pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich, whose wife had been a foundation donor.
- In 2007, Eggleston represented Sara Taylor, who was a White House political affairs director in the George W. Bush administration, during an inquiry from a congressional oversight committee into the dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy and other Bush policies that Democrats believed had politicized the work of federal agencies.
- In 2009, Eggleston represented then-Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel during the prosecution of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
- Around that same time, Eggleston also represented then-Sen. Kent Conrad during a congressional ethics inquiry into a mortgage Conrad had received from Countrywide Financial.
Among the possibilities for Obama hiring a CRIMINAL defense attorney are:
- Congressional investigations on Obama’s many scandals, e.g., Fast and Furious, and the IRS’s targeting of conservatives: Joe Otto at conservative-daily.com asks, “Which [congressional] investigation or accusation does he [Obama] believe is powerful enough to bring down his Presidency? It has to be something serious for the President to hire the top political criminal defense attorney as the White House Chief Counsel….”
- Killing Americans overseas without a trial: Steven Ahle writes, “Just yesterday, a federal appeals court ruled that Obama must release documents pertaining to his policy of killing Americans overseas suspected of terrorism without a trial.”
- Multiple lawsuits, including several pending ones by Dr. Orly Taitz, regarding Obama’s many concealed biographical records, such as his strange Social Security number with a Connecticut prefix.
- Something even bigger, about which we don’t know.

“Obama hires a Criminal defense attorney”
Says it all.
Subtlety is no longer part of the agenda.
Who is paying for this guy?? We the tax payers. Let Barry’s rich Zionist pay. We the people are broke.
There’s another article out today, speaking
on new evidence that will lead to impeachment.
This could be the reason for the change of council.
As well as the type of council chosen.

Good article. You know if Barry is impeached and we know how long it will take for congress to get their shi* together, he could be out of office before then and who knows how much more damage the SOB could do.
Does it really matter if he’s impeached? The bigger picture is elections are rigged on e-vote machines and BIDEN would be president. So: BIG DEAL…if Obama gets impeached. Every president since Carter should’ve been impeached and whoever would replaced them should be pre-emptively impeached.
Exactly! The whole damn administration should be impeached and his handlers should all be executed on the spot for treason.
There can be NO pardon for treason, the death penalty, death by hanging is justified if convicted. Let the liberals howl.
imo biden == greetings aipac, would you like some fries, afgan opium while you wait?
the dual citizen hell gates swung n fleew wide open
who’s dual citizen in the intelligence board?
see how that goes?
Well not if you watch TV
who just dug out of ass/flung poo’d that cisa “-p” bill?
matters not, she (senator[s])will just send you a pdf, other senators won’t even allow feedback without your zipcode, from top to bottom full spectrum it’s electronic warfare even if you can’t see it. That’s right just like electronic voting machines, you can’t actually SEE the 1’s and 0’s,
Impeachment is a sham. It’s only a relief-valve for an angry public, but it does nothing, and changes nothing, and only results in a new Obama replacing the old Obama after his public wrist-slapping.
Biden will say “I’m going to pardon Obama so we can move on and heal as a nation” and that will be the end of it.
Personally, I’d rather see him in the hands of an angry mob.
Yep!
Top Grossing PPV event for sure!
hang the bastard!!!!
I second that!
Exactly, let’s stop the “botched lethal injection” method and let the ole’ standby hemp rope stretch his legs!
I think there’s 2. I could be wrong.
But I’m okay with hanging that attorney.
Well let’s not get hasty and stop there! 🙂
Which attorney, oh, nevermind, it doesn’t matter!
No, no, no, JR. You have to do “upside down” crucifixions. Get with the program, dude. lol
