Claims Post Gave Aid to 10 Anarchists in Deportation Case
Attorneys General Valmer testified before a Senate committee that Louis J.

Palmer argued Post canceled warrants and defied evidence rules, favoring violators and hindering the justice department. The official conduct probe centers on Post’s deportation actions and alleged bias toward forceful advocacy.
