The deeper you dig into this bimbo's details, the more shocking things you find. Now we find a member of her campaign team who defended a known traitor and terrorist who was captured while fighting for the Taliban.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ brother-in-law, who once defended the notorious “American Taliban,” has joined her revamped campaign team, according to a report.
Tony West, 58, will serve as a “powerful adviser” to the Harris’ presidential campaign, according to Axios, a move that comes after his 5-year-stint in the Obama administration’s Justice Department and subsequent high-level roles at PepsiCo and Uber.
West, who is married to Harris’ sister, Maya, also worked as an attorney for the San Francisco-based law firm Morrison & Foerster, where he defended the infamous John Walker Lindh, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
Lindh, who abandoned the US to train with Osama bin Laden and fight for the Taliban in Afghanistan, was captured by American forces as an enemy combatant in November 2001.
The following year, West agreed to defend the traitor, arguing at trial that Lindh was no terrorist.
“He is not a terrorist,” Harris’ new hire told the Washington Post in 2002.
“He did not go to Afghanistan to kill Americans,” West said of the then 21-year-old Lindh.
Lindh faced 10 federal charges, including conspiracy to murder US citizens and contributing services to al Qaeda."
