I voted for Obama twice, so I don't fall into the righty category referenced in The Nation article. But I do suspect right-wingers got some kind of dirt on Obama; the wingers tend to specialize in such things. I can't think of any other reason he would call off the hounds on any investigation of Bush criminals and refuse to pardon Don Siegelman. Can you think of an explanation for Obama's peculiar inaction on justice issues?<br /><br />This all is important because, in many respects, the failure to deal with Bush criminals gave us Donald Trump in the White House. Obama wound up kicking himself in the ass because, if allowed to, Trump will undo all the progress Obama made and leave his legacy pretty much at zero.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-87260662799020427752017-04-17T21:38:36.448-05:002017-04-17T21:38:36.448-05:00LS@8:07--The gay bath house "theory" spr...LS@8:07--The gay bath house "theory" springs from some very febrile imaginations. https://www.thenation.com/article/whats-behind-rights-obama-gay-conspiracy/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-45618493471168808052017-04-17T20:06:40.635-05:002017-04-17T20:06:40.635-05:00e.a.f. --

The dirt reportedly was sexual in nature and included Rahm Emanuel and was based on activities in Chicago (as in gay bath houses). I think it was used as leverage to make sure Obama never pursued Bush criminality.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-89062267897291860492017-04-17T19:51:46.577-05:002017-04-17T19:51:46.577-05:00this case is one of the strangest I've ever re...this case is one of the strangest I've ever read about except perhaps those that go on in Eygpt, when they are politically motivated.

For the record, Stan Pate was part of some curious and damaging activities after I was released from jail in March 2014. I haven't written about that yet, but Pate played a major role in Carol and me losing our house. It bothered me then, and it bothers me even more as time goes on, and I learn more about Pate.<br /><br />BTW, Pate wormed his way into our situation on his own, without our invitation. He contacted Carol while I was in jail and acted like he wanted to help. Makes me wonder why he did that. The quick version of a long story: He told us he was going to help save our house, and then he reneged at the last minute -- ensuring that we would lose our house. <br /><br />legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-91563711525655936312017-04-17T16:13:01.050-05:002017-04-17T16:13:01.050-05:00@4:06 --

Admiral Tyron stated that it exploded in Lee County. The Stranger in the Shadows announced the explosion was the start of Mike's plan"C". A government official wrapped his lips around what he thought was the"government tit", one too many times.The D.A. had encased a "Atomic Fireball" in a sugar cube to make a "sugar tit". The smoke on the horizon is the after- effect of the sugar dissolving. This public official knows why the Justice Dept . "went after" McGregor. Through a third party, this official was backed by the Retirement System of Alabama. This official knows why the R.S.A. hired Canary and fired Rich. This officials sister-in law works for ALDOT and knows why Auburn hired a private company from Tennessee to condemn property for the new 85 interchange. This same private company surveyed the land thief victims land 4 miles from the interstate. This public official had his property secretly de-annexed on June 18 2007. This official sold land to a developer who lost it to foreclosure when the builder could not get a clear title. Auburn paid one million dollars over appraised value for a small strip of this property,then the bank sold it. The builder also dumped 200 loads of dirt on Robert Lewis Yancey's property before it occurred to him that he did not own the Yancey property. This property is surrounded By Campus Crest. etc. etc. etc. People underestimate Mike .He has a plan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-78050379273079833642017-04-17T13:18:44.888-05:002017-04-17T13:18:44.888-05:00If Joseph Siegelman pulls this off, he should be L...If Joseph Siegelman pulls this off, he should be Lawyer of the Year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-67155174485906207732017-04-17T10:40:58.390-05:002017-04-17T10:40:58.390-05:00So many ways for a judge to cheat on a deal like t...So many ways for a judge to cheat on a deal like this.
