“Vote Fraud Criminal Darnell Nash Should Be ACORN’s Poster Boy”

“Although Glenn Beck has followed the ACORN saga closely for the most part, for reasons unknown he failed to discuss an important breaking story Thursday that concerns ACORN.
He missed a golden opportunity.
That’s because Darnell Nash (his mug shot appears above) was recently convicted of vote fraud in addition to the lesser crime of voter-registration fraud.”

“ACORN’s Project Vote affiliate has tried to get rid of the problem of vote fraud by defining it out of existence. Lorraine C. Minnite, a political science professor at Columbia University’s Barnard College, argues in an ACORN/Project Vote report called “The Politics of Voter Fraud” that “[t]he claim that voter fraud threatens the integrity of American elections is itself a fraud.” Minnite is also a senior fellow at the liberal think tank Demos, which is funded by wealthy liberal troublemaker George Soros through his Open Society Institute.

While ACORN has not yet been charged in Ohio, the fact that an individual voter registered by ACORN has been given a six-month prison term for casting a fraudulent ballot seems to be yet another historic first for the embattled radical advocacy group.”

Reported by the New York Post on October 14, 2008:

“BOGUS VOTER BOOTED AMID PROBE OF ACORN

4,000 OF LEFT-WING GROUP’S SIGN-UPS ARE SHADY”

“Investigators probing ACORN have learned that an Ohio man registered to vote several times and cast a bogus ballot with a fake address, officials said yesterday, as they revealed that nearly 4,000 registration applications supplied by the left-leaning activist group were suspect.

 
The vote of Darnell Nash, one of four people subpoenaed in a Cuyahoga County probe of ACORN’s voter-registration activities, was canceled and his case was turned over to local prosecutors and law enforcement, Board of Elections officials said yesterday.

Nash had registered to vote repeatedly from an address that belonged to a legitimately registered voter, officials said during a hearing at which the subpoenaed voters were to testify.

Board officials had contacted Nash this summer, questioned his address and told him to stop repeat registering.

But still, he breezed into Ohio election offices – the state allows early voting for president – reregistered with a fake address and cast a paper ballot, officials said.

“He came in on 9/30 and Mr. Nash again registered to vote at [someone else’s] address, and he cast a ballot,” said board official Jane Platten.”
“At the same time, officials said, some 5 percent, or 3,650, of the 73,000 total registration cards turned in by ACORN in the Cleveland area from its Project Vote initiative to sign up low-income voters were “questionable,” Platten said.

There were “egregious acts of registering multiple times,” said Platten. “The extent of it is beyond the resources of this board.””
“ACORN, whose political arm has endorsed Democratic nominee Barack Obama, has signed up more than 1.3 million voters for this cycle.”

FREE LEO THE ATTORNEY FROM JAIL

 

This is the second day of our open thread. I am pleased that so many commented and at the same time cared enough to comment and take action to help attorney Leo Haffey to get a fair hearing and justice.

Many are following Orly Taitz, Philip Berg, Mario Apuzzo  and others who are trying to hold the nation accountable to the US Constitution and the rule of law. That is a good thing. We must never stop doing so. We must also continue to let congressmen know we are out there and watching them. Actually, not just watching them but scrutinizing them in detail. We will reward those that perform as statesmen and serve their country faithfully and punish those complacent with the status quo and disregard for the public.

“We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.“…Benjamin Franklin

I have been thinking about this for some time. We get a lot of comments on this blog. I thank you very much for your efforts and concern about this country. I have stated many times that I could not make this blog effective without the support of so many patriotic Americans.

I have tried to research and write about the major concerns of most Americans and cover the stories that the Main Stream Media has ignored or covered up. This has been a huge challenge that only could have happened with your help.

This article is the first in what I anticipate will be a regular if not daily effort to provide the commenters on this blog with a forum to read and report on issues that you find most relevant. This is a first step to make us more interactive and your input more relevant. We have been discussing some more ideas that will probably be implemented soon. Please be patient with me and at the same time persistent in those ideas that you believe will make us more effective.

I will continue to post articles that I believe are important and will certainly use your input as one of my guides. Please comment on any of the postings that you desire. My hope is that even if you are compelled to comment on the Open Thread, that you will also provide your input on the articles that I write or are provided by others.

Once again, thanks for all of your efforts.

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.”

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

***  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.

Judge Gloria Dumas, Attorney Leo Haffey, Nashville TN, Political prisoner, Dumas rogue judge?, Nashville corruption, Obama thugs, Disciplinary action

In an effort to get to the truth about the arrest, incarceration and withholding of bond for Nashville attorney Leo Haffey, I have explored the facts and major players surrounding this troubling case. Since one of the players is Gloria Dumas, a Nashville judge, and Leo Haffey requested that she be recused for biased behaviour and we have been at the mercy of so many bad judges, exposing the truth about Judge Dumas became more important.
Someone else investigating this case indicated that Judge Gloria Dumas may have a feminist agenda. Since that is hearsay, I wanted more tangible evidence. First examine the charges filed against Leo Haffey.

Details of Leo Haffey arrest 

The consistent theme in this surreal case is that Leo Haffey has openly spoken out about and questioned Barack Obama. I believe that Haffey wrote the first motion for Orly Taitz. The Haffey family has emphatically stated they were pressured and Harrassed by Obama supporters. Some of these people are involved in the legal profession. When one considers that a very high percentage of attorneys  and law firms voted for and supported Obama, this is more believable. Leo Haffey also spoke out about corruption in Nashville.

Attorney Leo Haffey, arrested based on suspicious affidavits and held without bond and benefit of witnesses and records, prepared this motion in jail and filed it.

 

LeoHaffeyJailMotion2

 

Leo Haffey states in the motion:

  • He was not allowed to call any witnesses.
  • His bond was revoked.
  • He was kept in jail without access to his records.
  • He believes that judge Dumas is biased based on her statements and rulings.
  • He requests that Judge Dumas be recused

So why should anyone believe Leo and Question Judge Dumas?

  • All of those close to this case have consistently stated they were pressured by Obama supporters.
  • A request was submitted to the Nashville District Attorney’s office regarding pressure from legal professionals who suppport Obama.
  • Judge Dumas has supported the Democrat party, including monetary gifts.
  • Judge Dumas, as reported on this blog yesterday, was cited by News Channel 5 for unprofessional and illegal activities.
  • Judge Dumas was presented with formal charges on September 21, 2009 by the Investigative Panel of the Tennessee Court of the Judiciary. Exerpts of the charges are presented below.

Stanley, and the Honorable Dwight E.

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.

I am ready to go public with all I have on Brothers, Dean, Serpas & Johnson. I will not tolerate having my family, especially, my 11 year old daughter, terrorized by these criminals. I tried to give Terry Johnson a chance to do the right thing. All he did was ignore the child molestation of BO supporters at Al Farooq, as you know. I can’t fathom why he would want to continue to cover up those crimes but I will not. I feel it is my Duty to our Country to do everything I can to protect our Constitution. At this point my primary motivation is to prevent my daughter from having to grow up in a country without Liberty; a country with no Civil Rights. I am prepared to stay in jail until my case is fully publicized nationally. Life outside of jail is no better than life inside jail if we have no Bill of Rights. The criminals in charge of the present government will simply arrest you wout probably cause if you exercise your rights. No Free Speech, Assembly, etc. as they did with me. I never imagined that I would be a Political Prisoner in America. If I had known how diabolical these criminals are I would have simply left the US. It is clearly too late for that now & I fear that the fears of Patriots are about to be realized. I believe that the Citizens Grand Jury is the best, and indeed the only way to restore order, and I hope the CGJ’s are continuing to flourish, according to the Texas model.

So, feel free to publish any and all of the content of my prior emails, letters, posts & comments. It is my most sincere hope that my writings have inspired a few good men & women to save our National form this dangerous peril.

Always the optimist, I am still hopeful that a strategy of bringing an Indictment from a Citizen’ Grand Jury of particularly egregious crimes by BO & co-conspirators, coupled with my original Jurisdiction Brief directly to SCOTUS can result in the LRBO. Keep the Faith! Leo

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.

Sept 30, 2009

I am going to need an out of state attorney. The local attorneys are more or less controlled by the DA & the judges. Lin Woods of Atlanta, Ga is a good one. He defended Richard Jewell, the man who was falsely accused of the Atlanta Olympic Bombing. I will want to have a change of venue to Chattanooga, Tn, since Tom Brothers & DA Johnson are known for rigging juries.

Oct 1, 2009

Another issue for which I may be able to get some support for the NRA, of which I am a member, is that when I was arrested in May, the police confiscated my 12 guage shotgun & my hunting rifle from my home in Nashville without my permission….

…Please thank Phil Berg, Carl Swenson & Citizen Wells, & all the others who are reporting on my predicament. All I ever wanted was to practice entertainment law & exercise my rights to free speech, etc, under the Bill of Rights, but it looks like I have become a Political Pawn…

…There was something gloriously mysterious about a Mass in Latin.. Faith is one of the few refuges that we inmates have. Today the Chaplain led us in a song from Godspell; “See Thee more clearly…Love Thee more dearly…Follow Thee more nearly… Day by Day…”

My case should be a warning to Grand Jurors who want to go pubic; DON’T! Just get the Indictments, serve them on the foreman of the Conventional Grand Jury & on the judiciary and the press ANONYMOUSLY! They can’t arrest you if they don’t know who you are!

If you don’t hear from me again tomorrow night, 10/1/09 then that means that they have sent me back to MTMHI. I could not call you from there last time, but hopefully the bad guys now realize that falsely imprisoning me must makes it worse for them by getting my case publicized by OBAMA CRIMES, CITIZEN WELLS, RISE UP, THE STEADY DRIP, etc. Keep the Faith! Leo the Lawyer.

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.”

I have just gathered more information on this case and may report on it tomorrow.

Keyes V Obama, Orly Taitz, Update, October 5, 2009, Judge Carter, Santa Ana CA, Federal District Court, Giveusliberty1776 blog

Giveusliberty1776 blog is providing near real time updates on the Keyes V Obama lawsuit in Santa Ana CA, Federal District Court. Dr. Orly Taitz initiated the lawsuit.

From Giveusliberty1776, October 5, 2009, at approx 11:00 PST:

“US Marshalls have established added security due to the high profile nature of the case. All members of the audience are being logged in and recorded per the court.

Turnout for this hearing is less, approximately 100 people are in line for a seat in the courtroom.

The hearing will begin at approximately 8:30. Justice Carter’s court is currently in session on a different case.

Under review today will be two items of critical concern. Defendant Obama’s 9/4/09 Motion to Dismiss is to receive final ruling to either allow or be thrown out. Once the MTD is thrown out, a ruling for full Discovery is anticipated from Justice Carter.

The Federal Marshalls have set up an auxiliary viewing room near the courtroom, live video feed will be shown in that room for any overflow crowd. Our reporter is assured of receiving a seat in the actual courtroom, and given the historical significance of this hearing, chooses to be in the main courtroom, thereby giving him access to off camera events and reactions.

To those who have thanked us for this coverage, you are more than welcome, we are at your service, as fellow free Americans.

8:36 am Pst- The audience has been seated, hopefully the hearing will only be 30 minutes to an hour and we should hear the findings. If the hearing lasts longer, a mid morning recess at the 2 hour mark usually takes place. (10:30 Pst) and that will be an opportunity for Gary to phone in.

10:12 am pst A commenter has asked if the case has been thrown out, I have NOT heard from Gary so the information can not be verified as accurate. Remember Obots like to play on the blogs

10:26 am Pst Not hearing from Gary is a good sign, after approximately 2 hours into the hearing. If as some have speculated the case was thrown out, it would not take 2 hours to rule in favor of Defendant Obama’s motion to dismiss, more like 15 minutes and Gary would have phoned that in long ago. Hang in there people.

10:37 am Pst We should be coming up on a court recess break shortly and will surely hear something. Thanks to all the commenters for searching around the blogosphere for the word. Here you WILL hear the truth, good or bad. But to this Texan, the up coming word must be good. Keep posting your comments

Steve”

*** UPDATES ***

11:43 am Pst The ruling- Motion to Dismiss will undergo further review by Justice Carter. No order for discovery.

11:50 am Pst Gary reported the court is in recess and finished for the day. Intially Justice Carter was leaning to dismiss the case and accept Defendant’s MTD, however Orly Taitz and Gary Creeps made a very impassioned arguement and the gallery burst into applause, the Marshalls did not stop the outburst, and it was felt Justice Carter was swayed by the outburst to not throw out the MTD but rather reconsider his decision.

He advised both parties no matter his ruling, both would be able to appeal to a higher court.

ACORN voter fraud, Minnesota, Petition, Minnesota Majority, Investigation of ACORN in Minnesota, Al Franken, Norm Coleman, MN Secretary of State, Mark Ritchie, 43,000 new voters, 2008 election

The Minnesota senate race between Democrat Al Franken and Republican Norm Coleman was extremely close and the lead has changed several times. Even before the general election, there was concern about ACORN voter fraud in MN.

October 14, 2008

“As I expected, the investigations into ACORN and voter fraud has arrived to our fair state. From KSTP:

The Hennepin County attorney announced Tuesday they’ve launched an investigation into an allegation that an individual with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, did not fully comply with Minnesota voter registration rules.

According to the allegation, a batch of registration forms were turned into the office of elections outside the ten-day period, but were turned in early enough to be registered to vote in the September primary.”

The win that was ultimately given to Al Franken has been challenged in court and new challenges continue to surface in light of more voting irregularities that have been discovered. Now, with the ever increasing awareness of ACORN monetary and voter fraud, there is a heightened sense that the votes in Minnesota should be subject to more scrutiny.

From Minnesota Majority, October 1, 2009:

“The Destruction of ACORN, the Strategy of Breitbart & Why We Must All Remain Vigilant”

“Yesterday, Minnesota Majority, together with 8 Minnesota gubernatorial candidates, issued a letter to Attorney General Lori Swanson calling for a formal investigation into potential illegal activities on the part of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) in Minnesota.

 
Recent news stories have revealed evidence of apparent systematic corruption within the ACORN organization.  At least 15 other states have launched investigations into potential election law and other violations on the part of ACORN.  A report issued earlier this year by the US House of Representatives Oversight Committee stated that “ACORN has repeatedly and deliberately engaged in systemic fraud. Both structurally and operationally, ACORN hides behind a paper wall of nonprofit corporate protections to conceal a criminal conspiracy on the part of its directors, to launder federal money in order to pursue a partisan political agenda and to manipulate the American electorate.”

Yet here in Minnesota, where we have just had a US Senate race decided by fewer than 400 votes, incredibly there has been no official statewide investigation into the ACORN organization.  Senator Al Franken, Secretary of State Mark Ritchie and Attorney General Lori Swanson were all endorsed by ACORN and elected to their offices with their help, but it is our hope that they will place the execution of the duties of their offices ahead of any political allegiances. These officials can prove their loyalty to the voters of Minnesota by responding to your call for an official statewide investigation into ACORN’s activities in Minnesota.”

“Petition Calling for an Investigation of ACORN in Minnesota 
 

Whereas recent news stories have revealed evidence of apparent systematic corruption within the Association of Community Organization for Reform Now (ACORN), and
 
Whereas a report issued by the US House of Representatives Oversight Committee states that ACORN has repeatedly and deliberately engaged in systemic fraud, and
 
Whereas at least 15 other states have launched investigations into potential election law and other violations on the part of ACORN, and
 
Whereas Minnesota Majority’s review of voter registration records has revealed thousands of irregularities, and
 
Whereas ACORN has publically acknowledged it was responsible for registering over 43,000 new voters in Minnesota prior to the 2008 election;
 
Therefore I do hereby call for for an official statewide investigation by law enforcement officials into potential illegal activities on the part of ACORN in the state of Minnesota.”
