Jerry Nadler's 'Family' Values

As Rosenberg attests, her parents were longtime "Supporters" of Democrats, including of Nadler and his predecessor, Ted Weiss, who died unexpectedly of heart failure one day before the primary election in 1992.

In 1993, Susan Rosenberg's mother and Rabbi Matalon met with Nadler to enlist his aid in getting permission for Rosenberg to visit her dying father.

This letter may have had the desired effect: The parole board wrote Nadler on December 5, 1994, saying that it had been informed on Nov. 22 through Rosenberg's attorney that Rosenberg had signed the I-22 form "Waiving parole consideration."

Rosenberg's attorney, Mary K. O'Melveny, asked Nadler on July 23, 1998 for additional help.

Nadler told the Truthout interviewer in 2011 that he thought Rosenberg's case was "a failure of due process."

Although Nadler admitted that the court was understandably "Hostile to Rosenberg because she called the judge a pig, she advocated violence, she made all kinds of crazy statements," he claimed Rosenberg was a changed person.

Following Rosenberg's release, Congressman Nadler provided a most sympathetic and disingenuous account of her past while downplaying his role as minor and pointing to his rabbi.
