Lynne Stewart is your prototypical progressive liberal Democrat. She hates America, collaborated with terrorists like the Blind Sheikh after the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993 and gets out of jail free for ‘compassionate’ reasons. Oh, and she’s a disbarred lawyer too. You probably didn’t hear about this, but Lynne Steward was released from jail on New Years Eve (Obama and Eric Holder timed her early jail release perfectly, when hardly any Americans were paying attention.) Stewart was sentenced to 10 years in jail back in 2010. She got released before the start of 2014, not even serving 40% of her jail sentence. Now that’s justice, progressive style! This is Obama’s ‘progressive’ America.

Stewart, who is 74 and has breast cancer, was known for representing poor and sometimes unpopular clients as a defense attorney. In 1995, she represented the blind cleric Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, who was convicted of a long list of terrorist activities, including his part in a plot to blow up American military installations.
Abdel-Rahman is serving life in prison.
The motion filed Tuesday asked the court to release Stewart from a Texas prison because her cancer has metastasized to the lung and bone, and oncologists estimate her life expectancy to be less than 18 months. The filing said her medical condition was “terminal and incurable” and cited the “relatively limited risk” of recidivism and danger to the community from her release.In 2000, Stewart broke her agreement to abide by measures set by the Department of Justice and Bureau of Prisons. Those measures stipulated that Abdel-Rahman not be permitted any contact with his organization, Islamic Group. After visiting Abdel-Rahman in prison, Stewart passed on a message from him to his Islamic Group followers: that Islamic Group should reconsider a cease-fire in attacks against the Egyptian government.
