McEachern round tripped from the Opelika Police Department to the FBI and then back to an FBI assignment in the Opelika Auburn Area. Currently McEachern is the Opelika Police Chief. <br />Apparently (according to the <a href="http://www.mobilebaytimes.com/Bloomston_Complaint.pdf" rel="nofollow">allegations made in this complaint</a>) both McEachern and Baker were involved together in the rather infamous "Bingo" investigation and prosecution. Additional online report concerning the Bingo trial: <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/fireworks-punctuate-restart-of-bingo-trial" rel="nofollow">Fireworks punctuate restart of bingo trial</a><br /><br /><b>"Defense lawyers tried to establish FBI investigators developed an agenda in the case, but prosecutors seemed to successfully block that tactic.<br /><br />McEachern was also asked about state investigators assisting in the wiretaps and if they were on former Governor Bob Riley’s Anti-Gambling Task Force. Prosecutors objected to defendant Jay Walker’s attorney Susan James questions about state involvement in the federal investigation."</b><br /><br /><br /><br />Basic biographical information for John McEachern was in this Al.com story.<a href="http://blog.al.com/montgomery/2013/04/city_of_opelika_names_new_poli.html" rel="nofollow"> City of Opelika names new police chief (updated)</a><br /><br /><b>"McEachern was with the Opelika Police department from 1974 to 1988, serving in the following divisions: communications, patrol and traffic, and the detective division. He reached the rank of corporal in 1986.<br /><br />After leaving the OPD he went to the FBI where he served in the Pittsburgh Division from 1988 until 1993, investigating financial institution fraud, Medicare fraud, bank robberies, fugitives and kidnapping.<br /><br />From 1993 to 1996 McEachern served the FBI in Los Angeles, Ca. assigned to the violent crime squad, concentrating on gangs. In 1996, he was assigned to the Los Angeles Division’s bank robbery squad, focusing on bank and armored carrier robberies. In 2001, he was promoted to supervisory special agent, and was responsible for the supervision of 14 agents and three support personnel.<br /><br />From 2006 to 2012, he came back to the Mobile Division, Opelika/Auburn Division Resident Agency, and was assigned to a variety of federal violations focusing primarily on Public Corruption and white collar crimes."</b><br /><br />So it seems logical to wonder what type of relationship (if any) these Opelika hometown heroes Mike Hubbard and John McEachern had. Opelika isn't that big a place, these guys seem like they both might big frogs in that small pond.<br /><br />The comment which disappeared also referred to this recent LS post: <a href="http://legalschnauzer.blogspot.com/2016/05/alabama-house-speaker-mike-hubbard-goes.html" rel="nofollow">Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard goes on trial today in a state where outrageous courtroom shenanigans have become almost the norm</a>.<br /><br />Absent from the previous comment was any reference to the various allegations made concerning various campaign contributions from entities which had interests in opposition to the targeted bingo operations.

He apparently changes company names quite often. It definitely was Majority Strategies at one point.<br /><br />There have been way too many unexplained deaths in Alabama over past 8-10 years, and I would love to see the truth come out about some of them. I don't think for one minute that Ralph Stacy and Bob Caviness killed themselves. I've never thought Major Bashinsky killed himself. <br /><br />Given what we know about Baker and McEachren, I wonder if law enforcement was involved in at least some of those deaths.<br /><br />This gets personal for me because I strongly believe the plan was to have cops kidnap both me and Carol and have us killed, with an official finding of "suicide." I think that's why Rob Riley's lawsuit file was sealed, and it's why Riley sued Carol, when there were no grounds for doing so. Cops' inability to abduct Carol nixed that plan because she was able to drum up media attention for my arrest. But I still suspect our lives are in danger.<br /><br />It's interesting that I've heard one person, who I think knows something about what really went on, made a statement hinting that cops were frustrated because Carol hardly ever came out of house so they could arrest her while driving a car.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-19597266323697445402016-05-17T14:02:35.419-05:002016-05-17T14:02:35.419-05:00Thanks for an informative comment, @1:33.

Yes, McEachren, it's believed, was connected to the mysterious death of Bob Caviness--and Caviness' "suicide" came not long after the "suicide" of Ralph Stacy, of the Business Council of Alabama. To my knowledge, neither the Stacy death nor the Caviness death ever has been adequately investigated.<br /><br />And you are right about the error in TNR article. It was Majority Strategies.<br /><br />I wish you could contact Joe Miller, author of the TNR article, to get that corrected. You also might mention the McEachren angle. He might find it interesting.<br /><br />Miller is on the faculty at Columbus State U in Georgia.
