Quoting Lindauer
since she’s out of the nut house.
Clinton Taylor continues the tale of this American traitor and mental case, who worked for several members of Congress [not unexpectedly, belonging to the Party of Disgust or the Democratic Party], while aiding enemies of the United States.
She was the topic of a post of mine on March 11, 2004, and of much interest on the Net at that time.
Here is her indictment at Smoking Gun.
The Seattle Weekly documents her mental condition. Their concise bio:
Lindauer, who was raised in Alaska and graduated from Smith College in Massachusetts in 1985, went to work in 1987 as a reporter at the P-I, and in 1989 was an editorial writer at The Herald in Everett. She also worked as a writer and researcher at U.S. News & World Report and Fortune. Co-workers here remembered her in part for erratic behavior and mood swings. A Snohomish County merchant sought an antiharassment order against her because of quirky phone calls Lindauer allegedly made asking the merchant to “cast spells” on The Herald. She is the daughter of John Lindauer, a onetime newspaper publisher and former Republican nominee for governor of Alaska. In D.C., however, Susan Lindauer served only Democrats. She was an aide to Rep. Peter DeFazio and then-Rep. Ron Wyden, who is now a senator, both of Oregon, in 1993 and 1994. She also served as press secretary to now-ex-Sen. Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois for a few months in 1996, and in 2002 Lindauer worked two months for Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California. After Lindauer was arrested, congressional spokespersons described Lindauer as mostly a short-termer who handled no sensitive documents.
According to the federal indictment, covering the years 1999 through 2004, Lindauer met with members of Hussein’s Iraqi intelligence service who were posted at the United Nations in New York. She returned from a 2002 trip to Iraq with $5,000 cash given her by Iraqi agents, the U.S. alleges. She later received another $5,000 and conspired to support Iraqi resistance with a man she thought was a Libyan intelligence agent—in reality, an FBI agent. In January 2003, prosecutors allege, Lindauer, as an unregistered foreign agent, delivered the second letter to the home of Card that apparently makes a case against invading Iraq, which happened two months later. The Justice Department characterized that letter as “an unsuccessful attempt to influence United States policy.” News reports and Web sites revealed that in earlier years she had also written to Republican donors as well as to then-President-elect Bush. The Bush letter came off as either artless or illusionary. Lindauer boasted of her “regrettably extraordinary gift for counterterrorism” and claimed she had prevented assassination attempts on world leaders.
The Detroit News reports on an FBI raid in that region on a Muslim charity. The key graf found by Taylor:
Susan Lindauer, a Takona Park, Md., woman who has worked with Al-Hanooti on Muslim causes in Washington, said he met monthly with the local FBI task force in Detroit on anti-terrorism and was a liaison between Arab-Americans and the community. He’s spent considerable time in Iraq since the start of the recent war acting as a bridge between the U.S. troops and Iraqi citizens, she said.
“I’m amazed, given all the excellent work he’s done, that they would come after him,” Lindauer said.
Here is a woman who gives every public appearance of being crazy as a bedbug, yet manages to hold on to jobs with several Democratic politicos, and is quoted by the Detroit News as some sort of character witness for an FBI arrestee. I agree with Taylor’s final statement:
… it will be instructive to see which groups offer her an opportunity to continue her poisonous activism.
