Major Malik Nidal Hasan, Surveillance video, Islamic Jihad Hasan in Texas on Video, CNN exclusive, Youtube video

From a Youtube video of an exclusive CNN Surveillance video of  Major Malik Nidal Hasan

“Exclusive video of Jihad in the store surveillance camera. The Pentagon has said 12 people were killed and more than 31 injured. The US Military has said this shooting spree occurred at 1:30pm. It is possible that multiple shooters were involved. The base is on lock-down right now. Terrible It hasnt been said if it were people who were inside the base that killed, or it were civilians who worked on the base or outsiders like Islamic Jihad that infiltrated the base. America is still on high alert. The FBI are on route to investigate. What has happened at Fort Hood is some stressful for young brave troops who have just arrived from duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. Gibbs has just informed President Obama concerning this horrific incident. Texas, America, USA. At least one person is “neutralized” in connection with the incident, and a second is “cornered,” retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honore told CNN. Fort Hood is the Army’s largest U.S. post, with about 40,000 troops. It is home to the Army’s 1st Cavalry Division and elements of the 4th Infantry Division, as well as the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment and the 13th Corps Support Command. It is located near Killeen, Texas. Fort Hood massacre. The media are talking Post War stresses, while that bastard has never gone over seas! The media with Hollywood Dr. Phil are turning this into the military are mental cases. Obama will use this to delay evenn longer to deploy Brave troops to fight al Qaeda and the Taleban. George Bush needs to do a Military Coup and take over the White House. War on Terror in America. Major Malik Nadal Hasan, online internet suicide bomb terror chatter. Of Jordanian decent.”

Alonzo Monk Guilty Plea

Part II

 

In part I of this two part series on Alonzo Monk’s guilty plea, the Citizen Wells blog presented background on Monk’s involvement in corruption and how it impacted health care in Chicago and Illinois.

October 26, 2009
“It was further part of the conspiracy that defendants ROD BLAGOJEVICH and KELLY, along with Monk, Cellini, Robert Blagojevich, Harris, Rezko, and Levine, and others, used and attempted to use the powers of the Office of the Governor and of certain state boards and commissions subject to the influence of the Office of the Governor, to take and cause governmental actions, including: appointments to boards and commissions; the awarding of state business, grants, and investment fund allocations; the enactment of legislation and executive orders; and the appointment of a United States Senator; in exchange for financial benefits for themselves and others, including campaign contributions for ROD BLAGOJEVICH, money for themselves, and employment for ROD BLAGOJEVICH and his wife.”

The article reveals:

  • Just as Obama is politicizing now, Blagojevich touted health care for all in IL.
  • The IL Health Planning Facilities Board was rigged thanks to Obama.
  • Mercy Hospital construction was rigged for kickbacks.
  • Children’s Memorial Hospital was a corruption target.
  • Michelle Obama’s hospital pay nearly tripled after Barack was elected US Senator.

Alonzo Monk, et al corrupt IL Health Care

Now for more background on Alonzo Monk’s involvement in corruption.
From the Chicago Tribune, December 23, 2007.
“For years, Rod Blagojevich has projected two distinct images that define his tenure as Illinois’ governor.

In one, he is a populist champion with an agenda of “putting people first” by pushing causes like health care for all. In the other, he is a consummate politician with cronies who offer advice while raising campaign cash and asking for favors.

Now, under the lights of a federal investigation, the distinctions are blurring, and the crony image is threatening to wash out the populist one.

Federal prosecutors for the first time have put Blagojevich inside their widespread investigation of pay-to-play in his administration. Blagojevich told one convicted federal informant, “You stick with us and you will do very well for yourself,” according to a court document prosecutors filed.”
“Nix, however, disputed that Knapp’s influence is overriding. Instead, she said Blagojevich long has used a team approach to politicking and governing. In this vein, he is a public official heavily reliant on his aides. His team has a core nucleus of Nix, chief of staff John Harris, former chief of staff Alonzo Monk, longtime political aide John Wyma, state Rep. Jay Hoffman (D-Collinsville), state Sen. James DeLeo (D-Chicago) and campaign spokesman Doug Scofield.

But Monk, Scofield and Wyma are lobbyists, and their clients have won millions in state contracts under Blagojevich’s stewardship. And Kelly, another close adviser and friend, was indicted this month on federal tax fraud charges.”
Citizen Wells Note – I found this next statement interesting
Remember, originially, Blagojevich was going to be the presidential candidate, not Obama.

“Instead of concentrating heavily on winning votes for his health care plan, Blagojevich crafted a strategy to initially sell his idea via a media blitz—a strategy that quickly fell on its face. Critics, and even some of his allies, said the fatal flaw in this plan was funding the expansion through a gross receipts tax on businesses. True to political form, Blagojevich found his enemy—corporations—and railed against them.”

From the indictment of

ROD BLAGOJEVICH, CHRISTOPHER KELLY, ALONZO MONK, WILLIAM F. CELLINI, SR., JOHN HARRIS, and ROBERT BLAGOJEVICH
“Alonzo Monk was a long-time associate of defendant ROD BLAGOJEVICH, and among other things served as his general counsel while a Member of Congress, as campaign manager for his 2002 and 2006 gubernatorial campaigns, on his transition team after his election in November 2002, and as his Chief of Staff from in or about January 2003 until in or about December 2005. Beginning in or about early 2007, Monk worked as a lobbyist, doing business as AM3 Consulting, Ltd. As a lobbyist, Monk principally represented businesses with interests involving Illinois state government, including businesses in the horse racing industry. In addition, Monk served as Chairman of Friends of Blagojevich from in or about December 2006 to in or about July 2007.”
“Means and Method of the Conspiracy
6. It was part of the conspiracy that defendants ROD BLAGOJEVICH and CHRISTOPHER KELLY, as well as co-conspirators Alonzo Monk, William
F. Cellini, Sr., John Harris, Robert Blagojevich, Antoin Rezko, and Stuart Levine, and others, engaged in a scheme to deprive the people of the State of Illinois and the beneficiaries of TRS of their intangible right to the honest services of defendant ROD BLAGOJEVICH, Alonzo Monk, John Harris, and Stuart Levine, as more fully described in Count Two, paragraphs 3 through 44 of this indictment.
7.
It was further part of the conspiracy that defendants ROD BLAGOJEVICH and KELLY, along with Monk, Cellini, Robert Blagojevich, Harris, Rezko, and Levine, and others, used and attempted to use the powers of the Office of the Governor and of certain state boards and commissions subject to the influence of the Office of the Governor, to take and cause governmental actions, including: appointments to boards and commissions; the awarding of state business, grants, and investment fund allocations; the enactment of legislation and executive orders; and the appointment of a United States Senator; in exchange for financial benefits for themselves and others, including campaign contributions for ROD BLAGOJEVICH, money for themselves, and employment for ROD BLAGOJEVICH and his wife.”

“Defendants ROD BLAGOJEVICH and KELLY, along with Rezko and Monk, agreed to direct lucrative state business relating to the refinancing of billions of dollars in State of Illinois Pension Obligation Bonds to a company whose lobbyist agreed to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars to Rezko out of the fee the lobbyist would collect, and Rezko in turn agreed to split the money with ROD BLAGOJEVICH, KELLY, and Monk;”

Citizen Wells – Note Ata contributions to Obama below
“Rezko arranged for a total of $50,000 in contributions to Friends of Blagojevich from Ali Ata, a Chicago-area businessman, and in exchange for those contributions discussed with Ata, ROD BLAGOJEVICH, and Monk obtaining a high-level state appointment for Ata, whom ROD BLAGOJEVICH ultimately appointed as the executive director of the Illinois Finance Authority;”

“At times, ROD BLAGOJEVICH acted with the assistance of others, including Monk, Harris, and Robert Blagojevich. These efforts included, but were not limited to, attempts to:

a. withhold a state grant to benefit a publicly-supported school until a campaign fundraiser for ROD BLAGOJEVICH was held by a United States Congressman who supported the school, or by a relative of that United States Congressman;

b.
extort a campaign contribution from Children’s Memorial Hospital, a not-for-profit children’s hospital located in Chicago, Illinois, and its chief executive officer, in return for official action on state reimbursement for pediatric care;”

“It was part of the scheme to defraud that defendants ROD BLAGOJEVICH, MONK, HARRIS, and ROBERT BLAGOJEVICH, together with Kelly, Cellini, Rezko, Levine, and others, used and attempted to use the powers of the Office of the Governor, and of certain state boards and commissions subject to influence by the Office of the Governor, to take and cause governmental actions, including: appointments to boards and commissions; the awarding of state business, grants, and investment fund allocations; the enactment of legislation and executive orders; and the appointment of a United States Senator; in exchange for financial benefits for themselves and others, including campaign contributions for ROD BLAGOJEVICH, money for themselves, and employment for ROD BLAGOJEVICH and his wife.”

“It was further part of the scheme that to ensure that defendants ROD BLAGOJEVICH and MONK would continue to give Rezko substantial influence regarding matters such as appointments to boards and commissions, the selection of candidates for state employment, and the awarding of state contracts, grants, and investment fund allocations, Rezko gave certain benefits to ROD BLAGOJEVICH and MONK, including the following:
a.
In or about late August 2003, Rezko directed to ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife a payment of $14,396, purportedly in connection with a real estate transaction involving property at 850 North Ogden Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, for which transaction ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife had not performed any services.
b.
From in or about October 2003 to in or about May 2004, Rezko, through his real estate development company, provided ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife with payments of $12,000 a month, purportedly for real estate brokerage services.
c.
In or about January 2004, while Rezko’s real estate development company was paying ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife $12,000 a month, Rezko directed to ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife a payment of $40,000, purportedly for brokerage services in connection with the sale of property at 1101 West Lake Street, Chicago, Illinois, even though ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife had provided few, if any, services in relation to that sale.
d.
From in or about the spring of 2004 until in or about 2006, Rezko provided to MONK a number of $10,000 cash gifts to pay for various items, such as a car and home improvements, which cash gifts totaled approximately $70,000 to $90,000.”

From the Tony Rezko Trial

“March 10, 2008; 12:46 a.m.

The government alleges that Antoin “Tony” Rezko and Stuart Levine worked together to try to rig decisions on where to invest tens of millions of dollars in state pension funds. Prosecutors worked Monday to link the two through the testimony of Jill Hayden, the former director of boards and commissions for Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Levine had been appointed to the teacher’s pension fund board by Blagojevich’s Republican predecessors, but his appointment expired in 2004. In mid-May 2004, Blagojevich reappointed him. Hayden testified that a few days before that appointment was finalized, she got a call from Rezko urging her to speed things up.

“He called me and he said we need to move on Stuart Levine,” Hayden testified. Hayden said Rezko told her he had already spoken to her boss, Blagojevich chief of staff Lon Monk, about the Levine reappointment and been assured the appointment would go through.

Hayden said Rezko laughed when she said she would have to check with Monk herself. “I took that to mean that I could go ahead and ask him, but it was already a done deal,” she recalled.

Government filings in the case suggest a reason behind the alleged rush. The government claims that Levine and Rezko were arranging to take kickbacks from investment firms in exchange for pension business that was to be voted on within days of Levine’s reappointment.

Hayden also testified that Rezko had at one point sought to have Ruth Rothstein, then the longtime head of the Cook County health system, appointed to the Health Facilities Planning Board, another regulatory panel prosecutors allege Rezko was involved in corrupting.”

“March 19, 2008; 11:21 a.m.

Prosecution witness Stuart Levine is walking jurors through the evolution of his relationship with defendant Tony Rezko. The two met at a dinner party shortly before the 2002 election in which Rezko’s close friend Rod Blagojevich was elected governor.

At the dinner, Levine said he learned that Rezko was holding up a lucrative real estate deal that would have rendered a hefty kickback for Levine. Rezko promised to back off and was true to his word, Levine said.

With the assistance of political insider Robert Kjellander, Levine said he set up a meeting with Rezko about a month later to discuss an insurance deal Levine was trying to get for a client with Cook County. Levine said Kjellander had told him Rezko held considerable sway in Cook County government.

Levine said he met increasingly with Rezko in early 2003 after Blagojevich was sworn in as governor. On occasion, Levine said, Rezko described his close relationship with Blagojevich.

“He said that he had raised a great deal of money for Gov. Blagojevich and that he had great hopes and expectations that Gov. Blagojevich would run for president,” Levine recalled. “And although he knew it was a long shot, he was working toward that end.”

Levine also said that Rezko told him that he and fellow Blagojevich fundraiser Christopher Kelly “exercised the most influence” in Blagojevich’s kitchen cabinet. And Levine said Rezko told him that “all the major decisions in the governor’s office were cleared through [chief of staff] Lon Monk and through Mr. Rezko.”

“Mr. Rezko told me that he was able to have individuals appointed to state boards and was able to have individuals hired into state agencies and that he spoke very often — and in fact went over decisions — that Lon Monk would put into place,” Levine said.

In summer 2003, Levine said he met with Rezko at his office on Elston Avenue and the two talked over the notion of Levine’s position on a state pension board to make money for themselves.

“Anything that I, Mr. Rezko, decide to do at TRS [the pension board], you’ll be a part of it,” Levine said Rezko told him.

Levine said Rezko made it clear that Levine’s assistance was required, and “any moneys that would be earned in doing that he would share with me.”

Levine said that as he left the meeting, he told Rezko he was “extraordinarily pleased to know him and I thought we could do a lot of business together.”

Asked by a prosecutor to elaborate, Levine said, “I meant there were illegal deals that I could bring to TRS and perhaps to the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board,” on which Levine also served.”

Evelyn Pringle Curtain time for Obama part 1
“Even in 2006, he said, Rezko assured him that things were going to turn out all right because of a plan to get rid of Fitzgerald. When asked why he believed Rezko could get him removed, Ata said, “Mr. Rezko has the influence and power to do that.”

Ata told prosecutors he lied to the FBI in December 2005, because he was encouraged to be a “team player” by people he believed to be acting on Rezko’s behalf. When he received a grand jury subpoena in late 2005, he said, people contacted him in an effort to stop him from cooperating.

After he met with Federal agents the first time, Ata said, he got a voice-mail from Michael Rumman. The voice mail said Rumman was traveling with “our friend,” meaning Rezko, and asked Ata to delay meeting with investigators.

On his final day on the stand, Ata told the jury he finally agreed to cooperate with the Feds in April 2008, after an unnamed person delivered a threat. He testified that prosecutors once had him wear a wire to make a recording after the person threatened him.

Ata told the jury he delivered one $25,000 contribution to Blagojevich at Rezko’s office in the latter part of 2002, and the three men discussed the prospects of Ata getting an appointment in the administration. He said people at the office that day included Blagojevich’s campaign chief and later chief of staff, Lon Monk, Christopher Kelly, and state Representative Jay Hoffman.

“I learned that Mr. Hoffman was part of a select group of advisers that were referred to as the kitchen cabinet,” Ata told the jury.

“The way Ali Ata described it, the waiting room in the North Side office of Antoin “Tony” Rezko seemed as busy as an airport terminal,” the Tribune noted on May 1, 2008.

Ata brought another $25,000 check to a fundraiser on July 25, 2003, and he was appointed to lead the Finance Authority.

Ata made a $5,000 donation to Obama less than a month earlier on June 30, 2003. Ata is also an investor in Riverside Park. Almost without fail, the people identified in the Board Games cases as investors in Riverside Park contributed to Obama’s US senate campaign.

According to the Sun-Times, to raise the $8 million to spring Rezko out of jail in April, in addition to the $2 million worth of property pledged by Alsammarae, six people who are “current or former state employees,” also put up property.

The list has three current employees from Rumman’s former Department of Central Management Services, including Jenan Shamoun, Donald Lynch, and Mustafa Abdalla.

A state employee familiar with the hiring of the employees told the Associated Press that CMS personnel were pressured by then-director Rumman to hire them

Campaign records show Mustafa Abdalla gave Obama $1,000 on June 30, 2003.”

Evelyn Pringle Curtain time for Obama part 2

“Feds track Obama’s visits to Rezko

In the media, Obama always made it sound like he rarely saw Rezko, saying they met for breakfast or lunch once or twice a year. However, the FBI mole John Thomas helped investigators “build a record of repeat visits to the old offices of Rezko and former business partner Daniel Mahru’s Rezmar Corp., at 853 N. Elston, by Blagojevich and Obama during 2004 and 2005,“ according to the February 10, 2008 Sun-Times.

During his March 14, 2008 interview, the Times told Obama, Thomas is an FBI mole and he “recently told us that he saw you coming and going from Rezko’s office a lot.”

“And three other sources told us that you and Rezko spoke on the phone daily.”

“Is that true?” the reporter asked.

“No,” Obama said, “That’s not accurate.”

“I think what is true,” he said, “is that, it depends on the period of time.”

“I’ve known him for 17 years,” Obama stated. “There were stretches of time where I would see him once or twice a year.”

He told the Times, “when he was involved in finance committee for the U.S. Senate race, or the state senate races, or the U.S. Congressional race, then he was an active member.”

“During the U.S. Senate race, there’s be stretches of like a couple of weeks – for example prior to him organizing the fundraiser that he did for us – where I would probably be talking to him once a day to make sure that was going well,” he said.

“But the typical relationship was one that was fond,” he added. “We would see each other.”

“But there would be no reason for me to be seeing him that often,” he stated.

This issue may be sorted out soon enough because Fitzgerald’s charts matching up Obama’s contributions, visits and calls are bound to be every bit as thorough as the ones produced to prove Rezko is guilty as charged in the first trial. They simply were not produced because they were not needed to prove the defendant guilty in the first case.

As an example of what records might be squirreled away, consider that an FBI agent presented a chart to the jury on April 28, 2008, showing 257 calls from Rezko’s phones to Blagojevich’s chief of staff, Lon Monk, between March 2004 and May 2004 alone.”

 We may never know the full extent of Alonzo Monk’s role in crime and corruption due to his guilty plea. One thing is certain, just as in the case of Blagojevich, Rezko and Obama, what we do know is just the tip of the iceberg.

Leo Haffey, Latest news, October 15, 2009, Subornation of perjury, Leo Haffey’s wife, pressured, threatened and intimidated by a lawyer in Nashville, Brent Horst, False charges, Nashville DA Torry Johnson

This is just in from Aristotle the Hun, a Family Therapist and clergyman who has been in contact with attorney Leo Haffey, who has been incarcerated without bond in Nashville TN, and Haffey’s family. October 15, 2009.

“Subornation of perjury in Leo Haffey Case”

“Subornation of perjury is a legal term describing the crime of persuading another to commit perjury.

Leo Haffey’s wife has reported to me that she was pressured, threatened and intimidated by a lawyer in Nashville who was a neighbor of Leo’s, Brent Horst. Mr. Horst wanted Mrs. Haffey to make false reports to authorities and file charges against her husband that were not truthful.

I have read two written accounts of what happened and I have verified with Mrs. Haffey that she wrote these accounts. I have also interviewed Mrs. Haffey and she has made it very clear that she was pressured to exaggerate an incident and file reports with law enforcement and the courts that she would not have said or done on her own.

In addition to the false charges that were the subject of threats and intimidation aimed at Mrs. Haffey, Brent Horst, his wife, and another neighbor are also accused of making false charges of their own in a separate cases.”

I have spoken to Leo Haffey’s wife on multiple occassions and can corroborate much of what Aristotle the Hun has written.
Also,
I have spoken to the Nashville DA’s office twice. The first time, I spoke to Natalie Broadway, the alleged recipient of an email from Leo’s wife requesting an investigation. She stated that she could not speak about the case and that her boss would call me. The boss never called.

From Aristotle the Hun, regarding attorney Leo Haffey, who remains in jail with no bond. Here are more notes from Leo, today, Thursday, October 15, 2009:

“We transcribe these letters from Leo as time permits.

Thanks to those who have contributed to Leo’s defense fund. So far we have $610. That probably wouldn’t be enough to tempt a law student to look at the case,

Leo is going back to court on October 20th. I sure would like to make sure he is represented by someone who actually cares about justice, or at least is a hired gun for justice.

 
Aristotle the Hun”
“9/31/09 The Nashville Police illegally confiscated my 12 gauge shotgun & my hunting rifle. I am an NRA member. Would you please contact the NRA for me and ask them to assist me in a lawsuit against the Nashville PD for violating my 2nd Amendment “Rights. My case is a textbook study in how Fascist Communist Regimes violate the Constitutional & Civil Rights of Patriots in order to control the people. So, my case should be of interest to the
ACLU, NRA, and various other organizations that are interested in upholding Constitutional & Civil Rights.

…I don’t recall if I have mentioned it to you or not, but the past 18 or 19 years, as least THREE Nashville Judges have been INDICTED.

…I HOPE that Torry Johnson does the right thing regarding the CPU Thefts and Al Farooq, but I do want the CPU thefts and Al Farooq reported, as well as the cover up by DA Torry Johnson.

10-2-09

The THEFT of the computers from the Nashville Election Commission is to the Nashville BO Campaign what Watergate was to the Nixon Campaign. Nashville Mayor Karl Dean, Police Chief Ronal Serpas and DA Torry Johnson are clearly involved in the cover up of these crimes, as well as the sex crimes at Al Farooq, if not, indeed, involved with the BO Campaign directly in the planning and commission of the THEFT of the computers from the Nashville Election Commission and the subsequent Identity THEFT and VOTER FRAUD of the BO Campaign. The Son of the TN Legislator from Memphis is not the only Son of a TN Democrat who has engaged in Computer & Internet Crimes for the BO Campaign. I heard directly from a friend in the Judiciary that there are several Sons of prominent Democratic families who engaged in crimes for the BO Campaign.

Please get this info re: Torry Johnson & other criminals to Carl & others connected to the TN Grand Juries, so that they can start issuing Indictments for all the criminals, and please advise them to keep their deliberations & identities SECRET, lest what happened to me happen to them. Once they have indicted, then they should take the indictment to the Foreman of the Conventional Grand Jury and the Clerk of the Courts, and then release the Indictment to all members of local & National & International Press. The Grand Juries should file directly with the SCOTUS if the Judiciary refuses to honor their Indictments and/or any Govt official refuses to honor a subpoena.

Again, I have a Brief that will get the case directly before the SCOTUS upon Original Jurisdiction.

10-2-09

… All I have now is the hope that I can find a position or opportunity with like-minded Patriots. This has truly been the Best of Times & the Worst of Times for me. I was so pleased that my writings were well received, but the cost to me professionally & personally has been nearly devastation.

…My Hope, the Hope that keeps me going, is that I can turn things around professionally & set a good position of opportunity.

…DA Torry Johnson has boxed me into a corner with his malicious prosecution of me & the submission of false evidence, including knowingly suborning perjury by Horst & Winniger & the attempt to coerce my wife into lying about me, so I have no choice but to go public with all of this information.

Regarding Judge Dumas, now that she is off my case, please report that she allowed Brent Horst, who is not a party to the case, nor an attorney in the case, to address the Court & the Judge in the case. Dumas made several biased statements during the hearing, such as saying that she could see why I was charged, before any evidence had been introduced and, of course, revoked my Bond, which was an incredible Abuse of Discretion, designed to make it nearly impossible for me to defend myself. Furthermore, she would not let me call my wife or daughter as witnesses, despite the fact that they were both eye witnesses to the fact that I did NOT do the things for which I was accused.

Please review my emails regarding my arrest and publish the one with Subject: I was arrested FOUR TIMES without probable cause, and also I was NOT given Miranda Warnings. The Fact that I was not given Miranda Warnings merits a dismissal of all charges, but Dumas refused to dismiss the false charges. Also, be sure to report that I was illegally imprisoned at the MTMHI. (Middle Tennessee Mental Health Institute.) There was no hearing and no evidence (not a threat to myself or others) to justify me being falsely imprisoned at MTMHI.

I have a political Lawsuit against Horst, Winninger, Harpeth Glen Community Association, Morris Properties, Nashville Police Department, Davidson County Sheriff, Corrective Care Solutions, MTMHI, Holiday Inn (Invaded my privacy & removed me from the Hotel) BO Campaign, DNC and various Democratic Politicians.

…They threatened my wife with prosecution for telling the TRUTH about their witnesses and their actions…

…Let my problems with a malicious Prosecution by the Nashville DA be an example of why it is best to keep everything about your Grand Jury SECRET until you have and Indictment and are ready to serve it on the Courts. Make no mistake about it, the BHO Campaign will launch a personal attack on you and falsely charge you with crimes if they consider you a threat to the continuation of their criminal conspiracy!!

Feel free to share my notes & letters with Publishers. BTW, I am a Writer’s Guild of America Signatory Agent & I hereby appoint you my co-agent, to market my book about this ordeal. I don’t care how much money is offered as an advance, I just want to go with whomever agrees to the largest FIRST PRINTING and Promotional Budget.

DAY in Political Prison. Perhaps the most foolish blunder by the DA was his cowardly notion that I could not, would not, handle jail. It was clear to me at last hearing that the Judges & DA want me out of jail, since they can see that their illegal incarceration is and will continue to create very bad publicity of the Nashville “Legal” System, and I have just begin to speak out. Wait until I start telling about all of Torrie Brothers’ Crimes, & the Crimes of his sordid family.

Keep the Faith! Leo”

Not only has Leo got problems trying to fight for himself, but so does his wife. She’s trying to hang on to the house, the kids, probably her sanity. Just because any couple may have had fights in the past does not mean they are not united. I’m sure that poor woman is beside herself with fright and possibly unable to communicate with her husband meaning she does not know which way to jump. If she were my sister, or friend I would get her and the children out of there-come on you’re going on vacation to my house. Leo must have some very interesting information for them to react with such violence. Maybe we need to start setting up some safe houses while America is under this totalitarian regime. Somewhat like the French resistance did in WW2, against the Nazi’s. Same enemy different face. Let me be the first to offer mine. Citizen Wells – if you need a safe house, you just let me know I’m from a big family so that person would be a brother or sister or cousin. I’m in South Florida near a big university for access to research materials.

CW-Leo, his wife and their children are welcome too. Our house is by a grade school so the kids would fit right in. This is a very child and pet friendly neighborhood. Just down to earth nice people. I think I’m worried about their nerves more than anything else. When I experienced some really bad nerve racking stuff in my life, I couldn’t eat or if I did that was worse. Ask Leo and his wife if they are eating ok. This can take more out of person than you can imagine; after this is all over they will need to take some type of vacation and get a complete rest.”

When I have spoken to Leo’s wife, I have assured her that a great many people are standing beside them.

Here are some notes from Leo Haffey dated October 4, 2009:

“Is it merely a coincidence that the thieves of the Nashville/Davidson County Election Commission took nothing but a laptop computer with the names, social security numbers, dates of birth, and addresses of every voter in Nashville/Davidson County?

Is it merely a coincidence that a member of a prominent Nashville family of Democrats was one of the very selective, particular thieves?

Is it merely a coincidence that sons of Democratic politicians have engaged in computer hacking for the BO campaign?

Is it merely a coincidence that the strategy of the BO campaign was to win by voter fraud, utilizing identity theft?

Is it merely a coincidence that BO campaign workers have been arrested for identity theft in numerous jurisdictions?

Is it merely a coincidence that ACORN has recruited workers with known records for identity theft?

Is it merely a coincidence that Nashville Mayor, Karl Dean, is a BO supporter?”

Zachary Christie, 6 year old suspended, Cub Scout knife, Zachary faces 45 days in district reform school, Christina School District, Newark Delaware, What a bunch of idiots

What a bunch of idiots!

45 days in the district’s reform school for a 6 year old cub scout proudly displaying his new cub scout knife.

I don’t think so!

From the NY Times, October 11, 2009.

 

“It’s a Fork, It’s a Spoon, It’s a … Weapon?”

 

“Finding character witnesses when you are 6 years old is not easy. But there was Zachary Christie last week at a school disciplinary committee hearing with his karate instructor and his mother’s fiancé by his side to vouch for him.
Zachary’s offense? Taking a camping utensil that can serve as a knife, fork and spoon to school. He was so excited about recently joining the Cub Scouts that he wanted to use it at lunch. School officials concluded that he had violated their zero-tolerance policy on weapons, and Zachary was suspended and now faces 45 days in the district’s reform school.”
“But the question on the minds of residents here is: Why do school officials not have more discretion in such cases?

“Zachary wears a suit and tie some days to school by his own choice because he takes school so seriously,” said Debbie Christie, Zachary’s mother, who started a Web site, helpzachary.com, in hopes of recruiting supporters to pressure the local school board at its next open meeting on Tuesday. “He is not some sort of threat to his classmates.”

Still, some school administrators argue that it is difficult to distinguish innocent pranks and mistakes from more serious threats, and that the policies must be strict to protect students.”
“Critics contend that zero-tolerance policies like those in the Christina district have led to sharp increases in suspensions and expulsions, often putting children on the streets or in other places where their behavior only worsens, and that the policies undermine the ability of school officials to use common sense in handling minor infractions.”
““Something has to change,” said Dodi Herbert, whose 13-year old son, Kyle, was suspended in May and ordered to attend the Christina district’s reform school for 45 days after another student dropped a pocket knife in his lap. School officials declined to comment on the case for reasons of privacy.

Ms. Herbert, who said her son was a straight-A student, has since been home-schooling him instead of sending him to the reform school.

The Christina school district attracted similar controversy in 2007 when it expelled a seventh-grade girl who had used a utility knife to cut windows out of a paper house for a class project.”
“For Zachary, it is not school violence that has left him reluctant to return to classes.

“I just think the other kids may tease me for being in trouble,” he said, pausing before adding, “but I think the rules are what is wrong, not me.””

What a bunch of idiots!

And what a sad commentary on this country. We have an illegal, usurper in the office of the presidency with no state election officials, no electors, no congressmen and no judges stepping up to uphold the US Constitution and vet Obama and a innocent six year old is expelled for proudly displaying his new cub scout knife.

Leo Haffey, Background on arrest, No bond, Legal defense fund, Obama thugs, Nashville corruption?, Leo the lawyer and patriot, Nazi Germany revisited

If you have not been following the arrest and incarceration with no bond, of attorney Leo Haffey in Nashville, TN, I urge you to read the recent articles on this blog. You will be outraged.

A lot of facts regarding the case have been presented on this blog. The charges made against Leo are highly suspicious and the bond hearing judge, Gloria Dumas, recently had a lengthy formal complaint filed against her by the Tennessee Judiciary Committee, just a few days after Haffey’s hearing. Leo Haffey filed a motion from jail to have Judge Dumas recused.

This does not undo the unfair hearing.

Leo Haffey deserves an emergency bond hearing to allow access to his records.

Fellow blogger Aristotle the Hun was following the case and brought it to my attention. Here is a an article he just sent me with more background information:

“Who Is This Guy Leo Haffey I Keep Hearing About? 

My first contact with Leo the Lawyer (Leo Haffey) was back on March 27th of 2009.  I had discovered a post on a forum that struck me as “brass tacks” straight line reasoning with inescapable conclusions.  I posted it on my blog “The Steady Drip.  It was awhile before I knew Leo’s real name but that evening I got this thank you note.

      Leo the Lawyer said…

    Thanks for posting & hosting! 
    Love your Blog!

Leo’s article is archived at Two ideas to empower Patriots-by passing lawyers if you would care to review it. Here is a short excerpt:

    THE POWER OF A PATRIOT 
    by EA_LEO 
     
    People tend to either credit lawyers and judges far too much or discredit them to the extreme. The truth is lawyers and judges are greatly restricted by the privilege of license or of office. The people who are patriots have far more freedom of action and far less restrictions in our society. 
     
    Did you know that any citizen patriot can bring a criminal case against Barrack Hussein Obama in the County in which they reside? You do not have to be an Attorney General to indict a ham sandwich or a Barrack Obama. If a patriot had evidence of a crime committed by the 2008 BO campaign and that patriot presented said evidence to a sympathetic Grand Jury with a charge of conspiracy to commit said crime against Barrack Obama, that patriot could get BO indicted like that proverbial ham sandwich.

I had been blogging about the power of Citizen Grand Juries to directly counteract the conspiracy of the government against the people.  Leo quickly understood the legal theory and the supporting Constitutional Provisions and case law. 

The very next day this blockbuster headline grabbed my attention: Barack Hussein Obama Indicted in GA.  Carl Swenson at http://www.riseupforamerica.com/ had scooped everybody and without warning had empanelled a Citizen Grand Jury and acted while the rest of us were still arguing legal theory.

From that point forward Leo and I corresponded on a regular basis.  I became National Spokesperson for American Grand Jury and Leo advised me, and collaborated with other leaders in the Citizen Grand Jury movement while writing some of the early motions.

On April 29th I got a cryptic email from Leo “Where the Bodies R Buried in Tennessee?”  The email had a link to a RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) case concerning the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Election Commission.   This was an issue Leo was working on in Nashville having to do with missing computers from the Nashville Elections Commission.   I didn’t understand it, and I didn’t respond.

On April 30th Leo’s next email seemed hastily composed and was confusing: “Mayor, Police Chief, Former VP & Nashville DA. Next Door Neighbor CRIMINAL LAWYER Brent Horst.  If anything happens to me those are the suspects. PI Grady Vaughn has more details.  Keep the Faith, Leo Haffey.

At least I now knew Leo’s real name.  However I was beginning to suspect that Leo wasn’t just brilliant but maybe a little weird.  Less than an hour later I got this email “Have surveillance cameras surrounding my house. I have video of Nashville PD and neighbor, Nashville CRIMINAL lawyer Brent Horst, harassing me, my wife and my daughter.” 

My day job is as a psychotherapist.  My red flags pop up when people start claiming that folks are out to get them.  Yet Leo made it clear that he had video evidence of police harassment.   Next Leo sent me several news links along with this message: “These seemingly petty burglaries are to the Nashville BO Campaign what Watergate was to the Nixon Campaign.”  Since delusions of persecution are not reported by the news media, I decided I should start paying attention to the corruption and police intimidation situation Leo faced in Nashville.

At 8:54 PM on May 2nd I got this email from Leo’s 11 year old daughter: “my dad was arrested and he said if he was, that i should email you.”  At 4:05 Am I get this email from Leo: “Don’t report this because I don’t want any Grand Jury members to be scared off by this Police harassment, but please add judge Thomas w. Brothers, Brent & Tracy Horst of 6953 Highland Park Dr. Nashville, TN to the list of co-conspirators along with, Mayor Dean, Police Chief Serpas and District Attorney Johnson. Those are the people for the Constitutional Grand Jury to indict, along with BO, in Nashville.  Keep the Faith, Leo P. Haffey”

One could easily forgive Leo if at this point he reacted to the intimidation by keeping his mouth shut and presenting a low profile.  Not Leo!  The next email said: “Please have the Grand Jury Foremen in Tennessee contact me. I want to present evidence against all the co-conspirators in Tennessee that I know about. Keep the Faith, Leo Haffey.” Leo might have been brave enough to testify to a Citizen Grand Jury in Nashville but there wasn’t one in existence.  It wasn’t until June 18, that I was able to announce

NASHVILLE CITIZEN’S GRAND JURY FORMING!

I told Leo that there was not Citizen’s Grand Jury in Nashville yet.  Rather than thinking he was out of ammo, later on May 3rd Leo asked me to post this message on my blog:

    Co-conspirators Tom w. Brothers, Karl Dean, Ronal Serpas, & Torry got my neighbor the CRIMINAL Lawyer Brent Horst & his wife Tracy to file false charges.
    But it backfired on all of them. My daughter is doing fine. Isn’t she Great! Thanks for your help! That is all I can say at this point. Other than:
    It is very important that Patriots know to do this: 
     
    1) Find the CROOKED politicians in your City or Town that supported BO. 
     
    2) Link these CROOKED politicians to crimes committed by the BO Campaign. 
     
    3) Charge CROOKED politicians and BO as co-conspirators in the commission of campaign crimes, and you have a Criminal Case against BO that can be prosecuted in Court in your County Seat. 
     
    4) Of course, you add all the other Crimes that BO committed elsewhere to your INDICTMENT also. But to prosecute BO in your State, you have to link him as a co-conspirator to crimes committed in your State.

I have a stat counter on my blog.  I was able to detect the hits coming from Nashville.  Leo was really rattling the monkey cage of some big monkeys.  Over the next few days I got dozens of emails documenting the evidence and suspicions Leo had about corruption in Nashville.  He asked me to act as a depository for all of his evidence because he wasn’t sure he would be able to protect his documents, and he had some serious concerns about his own life being in jeopardy.

Over the next few days there were reports of unmarked and marked police vehicles parked outside Leo’s house.  I didn’t realize it, but Leo had also been working on the child abuse and molestation activity at a local mosque.  Pam Geller at Atlas Shrugs really blew the lid of that case, but nothing was done and children remain in danger.  Go here for a review of the various Crimes and Corruption Leo the Lawyer Exposed in Nashville.

I posted this notice on a blog in Nashville:

    The power elite in Nashville are perverting justice! The police, politicians, judiciary, and administrators of government are conspiring against the citizens. Citizens have the constitutional authority to investigate corruption and establish justice.
    All citizens who have evidence or reports of crimes, violations of oath of office, or sabotage of justice by elected or appointed officials are encouraged to report their information to the Nashville Citizen’s Grand Jury. Those who wish to serve as members of the Nashville Citizen’s Grand Jury can contact xxxxx 
     
    Honest public officials who faithfully serve “we the people” are expected to support the Nashville Citizen’s Grand Jury. 
     
    A member of the Tennessee Bar will act as advisor to the Nashville Citizen’s Grand Jury.

That last line in the notice might have been a mistake.  Of course, those who knew the situation immediately guessed who the “member of the Tennessee Bar” was.  By May 13th Leo was back in jail. We heard from Leo again on May 20th was able to send this email: “Help! On the 13th, I was arrested again by the Nashville PD without Probable Cause and falsely imprisoned, first at the Metro Jail, then I was taken to Nashville General Hospital where I was physically and mentally abused. My blood pressure medication was withheld from me for 38 hours. Then, I was taken to Middle Tennessee Mental Health Institute where they repeated tried to force me to take anti-psychotic medications.”

I live in south Florida.  I felt powerless to help.  However, I was able to determine that the Mental Health Professionals did their jobs according to the book, and Leo was released as “not being a danger to himself or others.”  However, Leo couldn’t go home.  Leo’s neighbors had contacted Leo’s wife right after he was arrested and told them that the Neighborhood Association was going to place a lien on her home and take the house away from her if she did not file a restraining order against Leo so that he could not return home.  Leo took up residence in a Holiday Inn.  Things were really getting nasty. 

Leo was rearrested in September and this time his bond was revoked.  This is where he remains:

HAFFEY, LEO PATRICK Facility: Criminal Justice Center 
Unit-Pod: 2-E 
Security Level: Minimum

Citizen Wells has posted some top notch investigative stories on this case, https://citizenwells.wordpress.com/

The rest of the details are at the blog I started for Leo http://freeleohaffey.blogspot.com/ 

The facts are being hidden by the authorities. We are using private investigators to find out what we can. We will not release our research until it is nailed down tight. 
 
The “unconfirmed and unofficial story goes like this: 
 
Leo is an entertainment attorney in Nashville. 
 
Nashville is a liberal enclave in an otherwise moderate to conservative state. 
 
Leo was an active Democrat and worked on Democratic candidates campaigns until Obama came along. 
 
Leo has acquired some powerful enemies by being anti-Obama and attempting to expose local corruption. 
 
When Leo began his anti-Obama activates and began advising Citizen Grand Juries, his enemies amplified their animosity toward him. 
 
Leo had some marriage problems which his enemies exploited by pressuring his wife to file abuse charges against him. 
 
After Leo was arrested, Leo’s wife had the integrity and courage to resist, and decided to “out” the people who had pressured her to file the false charges and sent this email to the Nashville DA: 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Nashville Obama supporter Brent Horst THREATENED to SUE me if I didn’t help him get an Order of Protection against my husband, Leo Haffey. 
 
Also Nashville ADA Bottoms pressured me to get an Order of Protection against my husband, Leo Haffey. 
 
I would appreciate it if you and Nashville District Attorney Torry Johnson would investigate Mr. Horst. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
I am in possession of further documentation about Leo’s wife being pressured to file false charges and my wife and I have interviewed Leo’s wife thoroughly. 
 
The people who are trying to harass Leo are neighbors. They used the Neighborhood Association to threaten Leo’s wife that they would file a lien and take her house away if she didn’t file a charge against Leo. Leo’s wife is now being represented by counsel, so she isn’t likely to fall for that kind of pressure again. Leo arranged for her to have counsel while he was in jail. 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 
· The charges against Leo were dropped, or soon will be, because Leo’s wife withdrew her allegation. 
 
· Without skipping a beat Leo, was then charged with molesting his 11 year old daughter. One of his neighbors is a social worker, and I suspect her of involving the authorities. Child abuse accusations can be made anonymously without the accused ever knowing who the accuser was. 
 
· Both the wife and daughter told the truth, and these charges were dropped. 
 
· One of Leo’s enemies filed a false charge of vehicular assault – This was the same woman I suspect of making the false charge of molestation – no witness – no injuries – but they managed to get Leo arrested have him admitted to a mental health institution. Leo properly refused all medications without being informed as to what the official diagnosis was. There was none. 
 
· The doctors said he wasn’t a danger to himself or anyone else, and released him 
 
· Next he was re-arrested on the vehicular assault charge and they revoked his bail 
 
· That is why he is in jail now. Leo continues to resist their attempts to administer drugs to him without a diagnosis. This has an uncanny resemblance to the plight of political prisoners in Russia back a few decades ago. 
 
Caution: I live in Florida and my only sources are Leo, his wife, and his daughter who I communicate with regularly. I may not have all the details straight.

Leo needs simple help from a lawyer in filing a Write of Habeus Corpus, to get him out of jail.  Once released, Leo can participate in his own defense. 

WE NEED YOUR HELP! I have established a Defense Fund for Leo at http://freeleohaffey.blogspot.com/ to reimburse an attorney to act on his behalf, and to pay Leo’s bond.

One hundred percent of your donation dollars go to provide legal services for Leo.  I am not charging any service fee whatsoever for collecting the funds.  The funds will be deposited by PayPal into the non-profit organization, Interfaith Ministries, a Florida Non-Profit Corporation (N37613) organized under the Laws of the State of Florida April 10, 1990, where I serve as President.” 
 

I leave you with this thought from Pastor Martin Niemoeller, a German anti-Nazi activist

 “In Germany they first came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me —
and by that time no one was left to speak up.”

Leo Haffey, Nashville TN district attorney, Judicial misconduct, Judge Gloria Dumas, New bond hearing, Disciplinary Counsel for the Tennessee Court of the Judiciary, Joseph S. Daniels, Officers of court, Justice

I was encouraged to discover recently that a formal complaint was filed against Judge Gloria Dumas on September 21, 2009 by the Disciplinary Counsel for the Tennessee Court of the Judiciary. We will await the results and hope for justice in that matter. However, what is protecting defendants such as attorney Leo Haffey, from statements and rulings by Judge Dumas? I contacted the Tennessee Court of the Judiciary and spoke to Mr. Joseph S. Daniels about this problem. He informed me that it was not their duty. I spoke to a friendly press liason from the Nashville District Attorney’s office today. She was not aware of the complaint filed against Judge Dumas. Well, now they have no excuse. From the Nashville District Attorney’s office, headed by Victor S. (Torry) Johnson III.

“He is to judge between THE PEOPLE and the government; he is to be THE SAFEGUARD of the one and the advocate for the rights of the other; he ought not to suffer the innocent to be oppressed or vexatiously harassed, anymore than those who deserve prosecution to escape; HE IS TO PURSUE GUILT; he is to protect innocence; he is to judge the circumstances, and, according to their true complexion, to combine the public welfare and the safety of the citizens, preserving both, and not impairing either; he is to decline the use of individual passions, and individual malevolence, when he cannot use them for the advantage of the public; he is to lay hold of them where public justice, in sound discretion, requires it.”

Catherine Fout vs. State of Tennessee, 4 Tenn. 98 (1816)

http://da.nashville.gov/portal/page/portal/da/home/

The district attorneys and prosecutors are officers of the court and their duty and obligation is to seek justice.

From a legal dictionary:

“officer of the court n. any person who has an obligation to promote justice and effective operation of the judicial system, including judges, the attorneys who appear in court, bailiffs, clerks, and other personnel. As officers of the court lawyers have an absolute ethical duty to tell judges the truth, including avoiding dishonesty or evasion about reasons the attorney or his/her client is not appearing, the location of documents and other matters related to conduct of the courts.”

 

The Nashville District Attorney’s office is now aware of the formal complaint filed against Judge Gloria Dumas on September 21, 2009 by the Disciplinary Counsel for the Tennessee Court of the Judiciary. I notified them today, Friday, October 9, 2009. Joseph S. Daniels of the Tennessee Court of the Judiciary, is now aware that Judge Dumas presided over Leo Haffey’s hearing a few days before the complaint was filed. Once again, here is the handwritten motion written by Leo Haffey in jail.

LeoHaffeyJailMotion2

 
  

Here is the formal complaint filed by the Disciplinary Counsel for the Tennessee Court of the Judiciary against Judge Gloria Dumas for judicial misconduct.

 “1. Following a full investigation authorized under the provisions of Tennessee Code Annotated 9 17-5-304(b)(3), the three judge investigative panel composed of the Honorable Pamela Reeves, the Honorable Jean A. Stanley, and the Honorable Dwight E. Stokes found, pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated 5 17-5-304(d)(2)(A), that there is reasonable cause to believe that the Honorable Gloria Dumas has committed judicial offenses alleged herein in violation of Tennessee Code Annotated 5 17-5-302, and directed disciplinary counsel to file formal charges pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated § 17 -5-304(d)(2) (A).”

The more I read and experience the judicial system in Nashville and Tennessee, the more concerned I become for this nation and for citizens like Leo Haffey.

From the Chattanooga times Free Press, June 21, 2008:

“Study: State low in judge disciplineARTICLE TOOLS”
“Tennessee’s system of evaluating judicial misconduct is too secretive and does not include enough ordinary citizens in the process of disciplining judges, according to a new study by a legal watchdog group.

“Judges are being allowed to judge other judges in Tennessee when it comes to ethical breaches,” said attorney Suzanne M.

Blonder, senior counsel for Halt Inc., a Washington, D.C.-based, nonpartisan group that monitors accountability in the

judicial system. “That gives the appearance of impropriety and makes the system seem self-protective.

Tennessee’s commission responsible for overseeing judicial ethics is a 16-member panel called the Court of the Judiciary.

Halt’s 2008 judicial accountability report card, released this week, ranked the state’s procedures for disciplining

judges as 31st in the nation based on criteria such as public participation and transparency. Washington state’s system

of judicial oversight ranked first in the study, while those in Maine and Mississippi tied for last place.”

“Ms. Blonder said the problem with Tennessee’s private letters of reprimand is that “they’re so lenient that they do not

adequately deter judges from abusing their power on the bench.”

The most egregious actions, however, lead to public reprimands, Judge Daniel pointed out. In rare instances, a judge may

elect to go through a trial to dispute allegations of misconduct.”

The District Attorney of Nashville, TN has an obligation, as an officer of the court, to promote justice.

Once again, to quote the Nashville District Attorney’s office:

“He is to judge between THE PEOPLE and the government; he is to be THE SAFEGUARD of the one and the advocate for the rights of the other; he ought not to suffer the innocent to be oppressed or vexatiously harassed, anymore than those who deserve prosecution to escape; HE IS TO PURSUE GUILT; he is to protect innocence; he is to judge the circumstances, and, according to their true complexion, to combine the public welfare and the safety of the citizens, preserving both, and not impairing either; he is to decline the use of individual passions, and individual malevolence, when he cannot use them for the advantage of the public; he is to lay hold of them where public justice, in sound discretion, requires it.”

The Nashville District Attorney’s office must immediately grant attorney Leo Haffey an emergency hearing to set bond and promote justice. Anything short of this is abject hypocrisy and dereliction of duty.

Leo Haffey, Update, October 9, 2009, Political prisoner, Nashville TN corruption, Judge Gloria Dumas, Suspicious affidavits, Obama thugs, Grand Jury indictments, Disciplinary Counsel for the Tennessee Court of the Judiciary

***  Update below  ***

I received this in an email on Thursday, August 27, 2009, 12:38 PM

“obama co-conspirators. Charges should be brought against bo & his co-conspirators in every State in the USA. Then bo etc. can be prosecuted criminally and civilly. I have the Brief to get it before SCOTUS upon Original Jurisdiction.
 
Leo Haffey”

I posted this in an article on September 29, 2009

I do want to make the following crystal clear:

“To Nashville and Tennessee courts and politicians and the Obama camp. We are watching you. If there is the hint of inpropriety in regard to justice and the treatment of attorney Leo Haffey, we will find out, report this to the entire world and descend upon you with righteous indignation and legal recourse such as you could not imagine in your wildest dreams. Clear?”

Update, Friday, October 9, 2009 11:00 AM ET:

 

Now, with what I know about the charges that were filed against attorney Leo Haffey, the harrassment of and pressure placed on the Haffey family, the formal charges recently filed against Haffey’s hearing judge, Gloria Dumas by the TN Judiciary Committee, the suspicious affidavits that were filed against Haffey and other details, I am outraged.

I contacted the Nashville District Attorney’s office several days ago and contacted the recipient of a request for investigation. She could not talk to me. Her boss has not returned the call.

Yesterday, Thursday, October 8, 2009, I spoke to the office of Joseph S. Daniel of the  Disciplinary Counsel for the Tennessee Court of the Judiciary, and left a message for him to call me. As of 11:00 AM ET, today, Friday, October 9, 2009, I have received no call.

It is clear that Leo Haffey did not receive a fair hearing. Allowing the recusal of Judge Gloria Dumas is not enough. At the very least, Leo Haffey should immediately receive a new hearing and be released on bond.

Reported here on September 29, 2009

“Think UR safe N US?
I was arrested 4 times without probable cause & imprisoned at Middle Tennessee Mental Health Institute. I’m a Lawyer who knows his rights so I forced the “doctors” to release me, but if they can arrest a lawyer without probable cause and falsely imprison him in Nashville, merely because the lawyer was speaking out against Obama, imagine what Obama’s goons will do to the average American who speaks out.”
Citizen Wells vow to get the facts

Fellow blogger, Aristotle The Hun, has been in constant contact with Leo Haffey and his family and provided some background information from Leo Haffey: 

“Excerped Notes From Leo’s Jail Letters
Sept 28-29, 2009
Admittedly I am in a minimum security cell block, but I only see a handful of the 50+ who deserve to be in Prison. Far too many are falsely accused and many other simply have mental problems that make it impossible for them to navigate the Helter-Skelter Brothers Johnson “judicial” system. I trust that good Patriotic Americans like the 2 million who marched on DC on 9/12 will be appalled by what they see of Brothers, Johnson, Dean & Serpas. As I have always said, the seemingly petty crimes of the crooked politicians of Nashville will make Watergate look like an insignificance. Can you imaging the audacity of letting the BO campaign steal computers from the Nashville Election Commission and then covering it up, not to mention covering up for the child molesters at Al Farooq? Keep the Faith! Leo

I am shocked at the level of corruption in the “legal” system in Nashville. I never dreamed it was this bad. The Duke Lacrosse case pales in comparison and the North Carolina Supreme Court did the right thing, and disbarred DA Nifong. It is so perverse and entrenched here that the reckoning will be very long and messy and don’t have time for it. If I had known 25 yrs ago what I know now, I would never have moved here.”

“Sept 30, 2009

Let me emphasize again that the Nashville Judicial System is a Mother Lode for lawsuits for malicious prosecution cases. I am collecting names of other individuals who are innocent and being maliciously prosecuted by the DA, Torry Johnson. As you know, Johnson refused to prosecute known child molesters who were associated with the BO campaign in Nashville. Yet he prosecutes innocent men, based upon false accusations by disreputable people. Also he is covering up for the theft of two computers from the Nashville election commission by the BO campaign…

… The tipping point seemed to e when I wrote about Citizen Grand Juries and exposed DA Torry Johnson’s cover up of Sex Crimes at Al Farooq. Despite all the hardship that has befallen me, I am glad that I spoke out for a peaceful revolution for our Legal Systems. I have just now realized how horribly corrupt the Legal System is.”

“Oct 6, 2009 Sam speaks: We got a call today from Leo in prison saying he received notification that they will not deliver any of his mail to him. Thus far he has been able to send mail, which has been stamped “unopened.””
Leo Haffey reveals corruption in Nashville and why he is a political prisoner

Three very suspicious affidavits and a judge investigated for illegal activities and unprofessional behaviour.
“This whole matter has smelled badly from the beginning and now smells even more. I am presenting below some documents and information on this case that will help clarify it.

Three affidavits below echo what I was initially told, that the incidents involved neighbors and that no one was hurt. It never made sense that Leo Haffey was held on no bond under these circumstances. It makes less sense now unless the judge who was apparently recused was indeed biased, politically motivated or very misinformed. I do know that Leo Haffey was evaluated soon after his arrrest and found to be no harm to himself. He also is being held in a minimum security facility.”
Charges filed against Leo Haffey – why no bond?

Formal charges were filed against Judge Gloria Dumas on September 21, 2009 by the TN Judiciary

“1. Following a full investigation authorized under the provisions of Tennessee Code Annotated 9 17-5-304(b)(3), the three judge investigative panel composed of the Honorable Pamela Reeves, the Honorable Jean A.

***  UPDATE – October 9, 2009  3:45 PM ET ***

Over the past hour I have had 2 conversations with TN judicial and prosecutors offices.

3:04 PM – Mr. Joseph S. Daniels returned my call from this morning. I discussed the formal complaint against Judge Gloria Dumas and asked if there was any procedure to protect defendants who are affected by her recent rulings. There is none. I explained my reason for calling and asked if he was familiar with the Leo Haffey case. He was not. He suggested that a complaint form be filled out. I would like to thank Mr. Daniels for returning my call.

3:25 PM – I received a call back from the Nashville District Attorney’s office, press liason. I mentioned the formal complaint lodged against Judge Dumas. She was not aware of it. They, of course, cannot discuss the details of pending cases. I expressed my deep concern that Leo Haffey did not receive a fair hearing from this apparently biased judge. I also referred to the suspicious affidavits that were filed and the request for an investigation that was sent to the DA’s office. The lady I spoke to was friendly and indicated she also wants justice to be served. I urged her to read the formal complaint lodged against Judge Dumas. I would like to thank the DA’s office for returning my call.

Citizen Wells comment – I do not know how other jurisdictions handle such situations, but I think this is a sad state of affairs when the public is not more protected by judicial misconduct.
