Attorneys for Osama bin Laden’s terrorist son-in-law Sulaiman Abu Ghaith have asked a federal judge to postpone his controversial trial, blaming the delay on sequestration.

Abu Ghaith, who served as one of Osama bin Laden’s spokesmen for the Sept. 11 attacks, is facing a civilian trial for conspiring to kill Americans. At a Monday hearing, Abu Ghaith’s public defense attorneys argued that the trial be delayed until January 2014 because of federal budget cuts and mandatory furloughs.

What the hell do federal budget cuts and mandatory furloughs have to do with the DEFENSE in this trial?

New York’s chief public defender David Patton told the Washington Free Beacon that his attorneys are facing five-and-a-half-week furloughs before September because of the sequestration cuts. Patton said the furloughs are being implemented “across the board” for attorneys, regardless of the magnitude of the case, in order “to be fair.”
the piece of shit is being represented by a public defender.

Nothing, but Obummer is trying to use it for leverage. However, I don't really see John Q Public getting upset about any of this........

He's using EVERYTHING IMAGINABLE for leverage, except his parties, the use of AF1 for campaigning, and vacations.
