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.

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• His bond was revoked.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.

“1.
