[I believe this is good news for Elian. Maybe I mean, I hope this is good news for Elian??? --MS] Ken Starr's Old Law Firm Joins Elian Case NewsMax.com Thursday June 15, 2000 NewsMax.com has learned that Kirkland & Ellis, the former law firm of Ken Starr, has joined the legal team around Elian Gonzalez's Miami family. Kirkland & Ellis reportedly helped the existing legal team headed by Miami attorney Kendall Coffey prepare the appeal that is being filed today with the 11th Circuit in Atlanta. The new appeal will argue that the ruling by the 11th Circuit three judge panel should be overruled. The appeal argues that a May Supreme Court decision involving a Texas case demonstrated the INS did not have the right to deny Elian an asylum hearing. The addition of Kirkland & Ellis, while bringing some higher caliber legal minds to the Miami family's legal team, also strengthens the legal team's ties to establishment Democratic party circles. Kirkland & Ellis, a Chicago-based firm with offices in Washington, has had strong ties to the Democratic party and the firm's political action committee was one of the largest legal donors to Democratic Congressional candidates in the 1996 election cycle. The Miami family's legal circle has also come under fire for its failure to handle the case properly, as well as its ties to the Democratic Party in South Florida. The Miami family's lead attorney, Kendall Coffey, is a long time associate of Janet Reno and had been appointed by Bill Clinton as the U.S. attorney in Miami. ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
