Filing for “Summary Reversal”: the continuing search for justice, 4/5/2012
Supporters are happy to announce this recent court filing, authored by Dennis Riordan, Mr. Steele’s appeal attorney. Mr. Riordan – with offices in San Francisco, CA – will provide counsel and strategy direction in continuing efforts to free Mr. Steele.
Former counsel Robert McAllister’s “sleep-walk” effort in defending Mr. Steele in the April 2011 Boise trial is universally credited to have handed the prosecution their triumph on a silver platter. The motion announced here endeavors to cite established law to compel an observably biased court to play fair.
At the center of this filing is this excerpt from the paperwork: ”The District Court erred in declining to consider Defendant’s ineffective assistance claim, and the matter should be remanded for a hearing on it“. Numerous citations of pertinent casework are presented. Included is reference to the critical denial to allow testimony by audio forensics expert Papcun.
The court paperwork linked below additionally brings to light the issue of how the government concealed Mr. McAllister’s own legal embroilment from Mr. Steele’s knowledge: ”As only became known after entry of the Steele judgment, on July 25, 2011— well before Steele’s new trial motion was decided in November, 2011 — the United States filed a 19-count Indictment in the district of Colorado against four individuals, including McAllister…“.

FBI Informant Tells All
April 08, 2012
• Case of Craig Monteilh shocks even veteran bureau critics
By The Staff at AFP
Craig Monteilh was a federal informant tasked with penetrating the Muslim community of Orange County, and he was good at his job. Acting under directions from his FBI handler, the professional conman, convicted in another federal case, pretended to convert to Islam, and then pretended to become obsessed with the idea of jihad against America. He then seduced Muslim women—on audio and videotape, for the pleasure of his FBI handlers—and attempted to persuade the women to join him in federally-concocted acts of terrorism. His record of extremism became so severe that several mosques got restraining orders, barring him from their property, and many of his targets reported him to the FBI as a terrorist.
“They said, if it would enhance the intelligence, go ahead and have sex. So I did,” Monteilh told the Guardian newspaper in London, “The way the FBI conducts their operations, It is all about entrapment. . . . I know the game, I know the dynamics of it. It’s such a joke. There is no real hunt. It’s fixed.”
Monteilh was recruited by the FBI through the local police forces, with whom he worked as informant on petty drug cases, using contacts that Monteilh made in prison for a series of bad checks he wrote to infiltrate drug gangs and set up their leaders. He became so good at setting up petty drug dealers for “ghost drug” conspiracies, that he was recruited by the FBI and taken to the next level—setting up “extremists” for phony “terrorism” conspiracies.
“The skill is that I am going to get you to say something. I am cornering you to say ‘jihad’,” Monteilh told the Guardian. “I was untouchable. I am a felon, I am on probation and the police cannot arrest me. How empowering is that? It is very empowering. You began to have a certain arrogance about it. It is almost taunting. They told me: ‘You are an untouchable’.”
And Monteilh took that arrogance to the extreme, recording every moment of his interaction with his fellow Muslims, including sexual encounters, that were replayed by his handlers for their amusement.
The fabrication of “terrorism” cases by the FBI has become a topic of increased concern following the effort by the FBI to initiate a war with Iran by fabricating a plot by an Iranian national to assassinate the Saudi ambassador. But the FBI has been setting up Americans for phony terrorism plots almost continuously since the late 1990s. A recent study by the University of Berkeley-California, showed that of all the “terrorist” plots prosecuted in America since 2001, only three were driven by any impetus other than that given them by the U.S. government.
Last month, in one of the most egregious entrapment cases, the FBI handed a phony bomb and an empty gun to an intoxicated man, drove him to the U.S. Capitol, and dropped him on the side of the road after telling him to shout “al Qaeda.” He was arrested by Capitol police and presented in the media as part of a “terrorist plot.”
The government is using phony terrorism plots to manipulate and terrify the American people, part of a larger campaign to keep them distracted and unaware of the serious economic and social problems that the black communist regime in Washington and its predecessor among the Trotskyite wing of the Republicans have created in the country.
One more time. Zionist Slimeballs CONTROL America (Ariel Sharon): The WH; the CONgress; the Courts; the FBI; the CIA; the MSM; the Pentagon; the Republican Party; the Democratic Party; etc. The Constitution has been TRASHED (ask Bush-it, who called it “just a piece of [toilet] paper”). Ever hear of the NDAA bill, passed by the Senate 93:7?
After all that has been done by the Zionist Slimeballs and their Federal Gov’t STOOGES to FRAME Edgar, what makes anyone think THEY will issue a Summary Reversal, now that THEY have Edgar where THEY want him (for the next 50 years [or less] of his life)?
GET REAL, people!!!
GodSend: Ok, we _GET IT_ about the “Zionist Slimeballs”. We _GET IT_ about the FedG’mnt stooges.
The Steele family has decided to fight. It GD doesn’t matter what you think is a good strategy or a bad strategy. The Summary Reversal motion has been chosen as one step. An appeal is the next step. There may be intervening steps that the Steele family decides.
We’ve reached the limit with perpetually critical comments, with opinions and observations that are void of thoughtful discussion towards the goal of freeing Mr. Steele. We’re not going to post any further of your comments if they are by and large venting.
Got it? Great. Thanks.
