WA Court of Appeals Judge Marlin Appelwick’s emails calls into question every case involving Snohomish County

 

” Who let the pigs out? Welcome to Snohomish County Washington.”

For my readers;  those who know me pretty well know that I have spent my entire adult life fighting for the rights of the abused, poor, sick, disabled, and wrongfully accused. So when I saw the below email clearly calling into question every single case that involves Washington Court of Appeals Division I Judge Marlin Appelwick, I couldn’t turn a blind eye.

Judge Marlin Appelwick is a personal friend of Snohomish County Executive John Lovick and his email below to Snohomish County Executive John Lovick calls into every single case, criminal and civil, that Appelwick participated in since May 2013 ( when Lovick was sworn in as Executive).

When there’s a personal relationship between a Judge and the leader of Snohomish County, Recusal is not only expected, but should be mandatory (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_disqualification), unless You live in Washington State.

Below is a copy of an email sent to me by another reporter late yesterday.

---

John,

 My heart felt congratulations on becoming the executive.   You have always impressed me with your demeanor and abilities.  The county is in good hands, my friend.

 

Judge Marlin J. Appelwick

Court of Appeals, Division I

600 University, 26th Floor

Seattle, WA  98101-4170

206-389-3926

This email above calls into question every case Judge Marlin Appelwick participated in involving Snohomish County in any way. Also, since Judge Marlin Appelwick is a sitting Judge in Washington Court of Appeals Division I, that’s a hell of a lot of cases, including criminal cases, because Skagit, King, San Juan and Snohomish Counties are the only districts inside Washington Court of Appeals Division One.

Friends have no business sitting in on cases involving a friend; using Marlin Appelwick’s own words above.

Better question is: how many cases did Marlin Appelwick make any decision on when Snohomish County was the Appellant or Defendant?   Now one might say, well we can’t expect Judges not to have friends. However, when a person’s liberty is at stake, there are NO EXCEPTIONS! 

Our readers can only speculate as to how many innocent defendants never received a fair trail and are sitting in jail because of Judge Marlin Appelwick’s personal relationship to Snohomish County’s political bums.

With Marlin Appelwick’s personal friendship to Snohomish County’s John Lovick, Geoffrey Gibbs, and John E. Pennington, now exposed, it’s no wonder why Gold Bar’s Mayor Joe Beavers was bragging that he had the courts in his pocket.

WHO JUDGE MARLIN APPELWICK IS CONNECTED TO INSIDE SNOHOMISH COUNTY FOR CERTAIN

Snohomish County Executive John Lovick ( as evidenced by the email above)

Snohomish County Commissioner Geoffrey Gibbs ( see http://snocoreporter.com).

Law Firm of Ogden Murphy Wallace, P.L.L.C. ( law firm was also cited with Gibbs, Ogden, and Appelwick for lobbying violations), and

John E. Pennington, an uneducated political left over from disgraced Executive Aaron Reardon’s trash can, who caused the deaths of 43 residents in the Oso Washington mudslide debacle ( a source once close to John E. Pennington stated that Pennington and Appelwick were fairly close friends while in the Legislature).

Judge Appelwick was contacted for comment. If he does, his comments as it relates to this story will be posted without edit.

The list above is not an all inclusive list, so if Our readers have any other names of political scum that You know are directly connected to any politician inside Skagit, Snohomish, San Juan, or King Counties here in Washington, please send your tips to GoldBarReporter@Comcast.net

Anyone who would like to contact Judge Marlin Appelwick can do so at J_M.Appelwick@courts.wa.gov

But our readers can rest assure that every single case Appelwick has been involved in relating in any way to the politicians herein are being researched, so stay tuned.

Sohomish County Daily Herald publishes intentionally false story as political favors to advertisers

Snohomish County Daily Herald Editor, Scott North,  publishes intentionally false article as political favor to to its largest advertiser Geoffrey Gibbs, an attorney with Anderson Hunter, guilty of fraud. Although Geoffrey Gibbs was charged with “fraud” by the Washington State attorney General’s Office, he was able to get himself appointed to the WSBA Board of thieves (Governors).

This just after Block was notified that she was nominated for the Bunting Award from Washington Coalition for Open Government just behind the Daily Herald.

What was exposed by http://www.snocoreporter.com documents massive WA State Bar corruption involving attorney Geoffrey Gibbs using his influences with WA Courts to “fix cases” and his influence has lead to 43 % of all disbarred lawyers inside  Washington State coming from Snohomish County. In comparison, King County, which houses 1/2 of all Washington State attorneys amounts to only 11 % of disciplined lawyers in Washington State.

My mother’s always said ” if it smells like coffee, it probably is.”  The Snohomish County Reporter has investigated Snohomish County’s corruption and posted her findings below.

See http://snocoreporter.com/

But most of you know me as the journalist and author who resigned from the Washington State Bar citing massive corruption.  Honest as they get; never been convicted of a crime, and pay more than my fair share of taxes.

As my readers can imagine, I was surprised to receive an email while in sitting on the shores in the great state of Maine writing my final chapter in my book ” No sunshine where the cockroaches roam ”  in its final chapter ” Reforming the Washington State Bar, taking politics out of the practice of law” published by the Snohomish County Daily Herald’s Editor Scott North which meets the level of actual malice.  I demanded that the Herald publish an immediate retraction, but the Herald’s liability is already assumed under Washington State law.

HOW SCOTT NORTH’S STORY MEETS THE LEVEL OF ACTUAL MALICE

Our legal counsel stated that when a news source publishes a story it knows to be false, Our Supreme Court held it’s actual malice.  Scott North knew that Gold Bar activist Anne Block was not ” suspended” as a result of the Washington State Bar’s ongoing investigation, but he made a conscious decision to publish this false story anyways.

Our Court’s held in New York Times v. Sullivan that when a news company publishes stories that that it knows to be false, actual malice is presumed.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times_Co._v._Sullivan

The Washington State Bar’s own website confirms that Anne Block’s icense was suspended for ” non-payment” of dues , not as Scott North falsely published as a result of an ongoing disciplinary investigation.

See https://www.mywsba.org/LawyerDirectory/LawyerProfile.aspx?Usr_ID=37640

Furthermore, Block’s resignation letter, which Scott North copied in on, stated her reasons for resigning, all which included her desire to write and expose corrupt government officials including those connected to the Washington State Bar Office of Disciplinary, mainly attorneys Linda Eide and Lin O’Dell.

See http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20150727/NEWS01/150729193/%27Implausible%27-Gold-Bar-lawsuit-gets-tossed.

What our readers may not know if that Anderson Hunter is one of the Herald’s largest advertisers and I republished articles documenting that Snohomish County Commissioner Geoffrey Gibbs is guilty of fraud as stated and published by the Washington State attorney general’s office.  See http://www.snocoreporter.com

The Snohomish County Daily Herald intentionally publishing a false story incorrectly reporting ” the Bar suspended Block’s license as an ongoing disciplinary investigation ”  is simply NOT true and Scott North’s only record as it relates to this issue was a copy of Block’s resignation letter to the Bar stating that she was resigning after public records obtained from Snohomish County via RCW 42.56 documented that Snohomish County’s former Director ( removed and placed on paid administrative leave  after he caused 43 deaths in Oso mudslide debacle) and WA State lead counsel Linda Eide were “plotting and planning” via email a WSBA complaint as a result of Block’s First Amendment protected activity months (Sept 2013) before any investigation started against Block.

The United States Post Office records documented that John E. Pennington and Crystal Hill ( nee Berg convicted of bank fraud in 2005 and charged with child abuse of a six year child in November 2008) were “bribing” a Washington State Bar hearing officer named Lin O’Dell, using her convicted killer boyfriend Mark Plivilech using public post office box  Mark Plivilech set up a post office box in Duvall Washington. O’Dell and Pliivlech live five hours away in Cheney Washington, but within weeks after O’Dell was assigned to investigate political appointee John Pennington’s complaint solely based on First Amendment protected activity, all accurate stories on John E. Pennington’s molesting two boys in a San Diego church and the fact that John Pennington is a prime suspect in the rape of 5 year old little girl from Cowlitz County, within three blocks of the Penningtons home in Duvall Washington.

 Mr Plivilech and Ms O’Dell must enjoy these eight hour round trip drives from Spokane to Duvall to retrieve their pay off drops from the Penningtons.

See also https://snohomishcountycorruption.wordpress.com/2014/11/27/lin-odell-mark-plivelich-all-of-their-associates-part-2/

After seeing emails  ( received via the Public Records Act RCW 42.56)  between and among Washington State Bar lead counsel  Linda Eide and John E. Pennington documenting beyond any shadow of a doubt  a personal relationship existed by the corrupt duo in Septembers 2013,  Block resigned from the WA State Bar citing massive corruption, criminal harassment pedophile and former Director John E. Pennington and convicted bank fraudster Crystal Hill ( nee Berg) and further told the Washington State Bar to stay out of her First Amendment protected activity.

Once Gold Bar Reporter Block received a legal opinion that the Snohomish County Daily Herald’s article as stated herein does in fact meet the level of actual malice needed to prevail on a defamation lawsuit, the Snohomish County Daily Herald’s parent company, located in Victoria British Columbia Canada, Black Press, was been notified that it will be sued in U.S. Federal Court for “defamation.”

U. S. Federal Court retains jurisdiction when a company being sued by a Washington resident is an out of the Country defendant.

Contrary to the intentionally false statements Snohomish County’s Daily Herald Editor Scott North published, the Washington State Bar has not taken any disciplinary action against Block because it has NO jurisdiction over a non-client political pedophile John E. Pennington’s complaint based solely upon First Amendment protected actively as a result of Block exposing John E. Pennington as the pedophile he is, and his wife Crystal Hill (nee Berg) for bank fraud (2005 conviction in Sno Co Evergreen District).

But Scott North did get part of his story correct. The Washington State Bar was notified that they will be sued in U.S Federal District under RICO.  An issue Judge Jones, a member of the Washington State Bar’s Board could not address in Block’s RICO suit because the 9th Circuit Chief has issued legal opinion that all WA State Bar members must recuse themselves from cases involving the Bar when the Bar is a defendant.

Spokane attorney Lin O’Dell is now under fraud investigation as a result Our investigation. Lin O’Dell and Plivilech have been stealing client’s identity and monies, almost all elderly clients with no chance of defending themselves. A story the Gold Bar Reporter broke.

The Snohomish County Daily Herald has 24 hours to print and publish a “retraction” and issue an apology letter to Block as it relates to its intentionally false stories,  otherwise Block will exercise her legal right under the 7th Amendment resulting in a defamation suit to be filed in US Federal District Court.

With Gold Bar Reporter Anne Block promising a lawsuit against the Snohomish County Daily Herald within weeks, let’s see how the Snohomish County Daily Herald responds to its editor Scott North’s intentionally  publishing a false story as a favor to its largest advertiser Anderson Hunter only after we started exposing Anderson Hunter’s lawyer Geoffrey Gibbs for fraud and lying on his judicial application as Snohomish County Commission.

According to legal counsel, when a public official files false statements it’s a crime iPn Washington State.

Fixing Cases: Pre-Determined Results in Washington Courts

This case study illustrates how insiders have by-passed public law and due process guarantees — and make justice in Washington State a mockery.

 

State Agencies Corrupt Public Law

In 2004, we were new to Washington and looking for a home. An agent from the biggest real estate firm in Washington — Windermere Real Estate — put together a home-purchase/renovation package for us. But the agent did not tell us the contractor he brought into the deal was his business partner, unlicensed and unqualified to do the work. The contractor ruined the value of the home; to add insult to injury, one of the subcontractors sued us, claiming he had not been paid. Acting pro se, we defended ourselves and countersued those responsible. Details at http://www.RenovationTrap.com.

When we complained to the Department of Licensing (DOL) about the Windermere agent, DOL refused to sanction him. We then discovered other homeowners who had a similar story: Theyʼd been ripped off by Windermere agents, complained to DOL, and DOL looked the other way.

We told our story and theirs at http://www.Windermere-Victims.com. Another Windermere victim had his own website! http://www.windermerewatch.com.

We asked Attorney General McKenna to file a Writ of Mandamus to compel the Department of Licensing to enforce the stateʼs real estate licensing laws. The AGʼs office (AGO) wrote back that the AG would go to court only to defend DOL against such a writ!

Huh? An Attorney General who defends a government agency that flouts the public law? One Hand Washes the Other

We testified before the Legislature about the situation homeowners faced in Washington. We wrote

letters to the House and the Senate complaining about DOLʼs preferential treatment of Windermere agents. We sent one such a letter to our senator, Rodney Tom, Chair of the Senateʼs Consumer Protection and Housing Committee and Vice Chair of the Judiciary Committee. Sen. Tom was not sympathetic towards us: He himself was a Windermere agent/associate broker!

Windermereʼs Rodney Tom was the Chair of the Senate Consumer Protection and Housing Committee? Isnʼt that like the fox guarding the henhouse?

Blowing the Whistle on Windermere and Its Government Cronies. We went to public events and shopping centers with signs and pamphlets warning the public about Windermere and the government corruption that protected it. We appeared on national TV: MSNBCʼs Undercover series, “The Homewreckers.” The show was broadcast nine times nationally.

At one point, Windermere offered us a settlement (for a fraction of the damages) and demanded an onerous secrecy agreement. In a nutshell: “Take down your websites, and if you ever mention your experience with Windermere to anyone, you owe us $25,000 in damages — each time you mention us.” Actual settlement demand here: http://www.renovationtrap.com/files/windermere-settlement.pdf

Certainly Windermere regarded us as enemies and our activities has harmful to Windermere.

Getting Ready for Trial. If Only Weʼd Known …

We hired a young lawyer to take us to trial. He had just joined Lane Powell, one of the Northwestʼs largest law firms.

Unfortunately, we did not know the supervisor of the young manʼs practice group at Lane Powell was the Mayor of Bellevue, Grant Degginger — who at that time was presiding over Bellevueʼs biggest building boom ever. We did not know that the Washington Association of Realtors (“REALTORS”) was Deggingerʼs largest single election contributor (and every Windermere agent was required to be a member of REALTORS). Other development interests contributed to Deggingerʼs campaign, as did the Lane Powell law firm. That is, Lane Powellʼs Grant Degginger was beholding to the very interests we were opposing. Had we known any of this, we would not have engaged the firm. But no one told us.

During the course of litigation, we asked Lane Powell to tell the court about the malfeasance of DOL and AGO, but the firm refused. We later discovered that Deggingerʼs wife, a lawyer, had worked for AGO for 18 years …

Yes, the young man we selected scored a trial victory against Windermere. But during the course of trial preparation and subsequent appeals, Lane Powell bled our case for legal fees — and then gave away important awards. As soon as we could practically do so, we dismissed Lane Powell (August 3, 2011). By then, we had already paid the firm $313,808. On the day we dismissed the firm, Lane Powell filed a lien for an additional $384,881.66 plus interest against our upcoming Windermere judgment payout.

Details: http://www.everyones-business.org.

Two months later, on October 5, 2011 (before we received the Windermere payout), Lane Powell sued us for breaking our contract — and for the additional $384,881.66 plus interest — even though Lane Powell had promised in the contract not to demand the fees until after the Windermere judgment was paid.

“Judge Windermere” Assigned to Lane Powellʼs Lawsuit. If Only Weʼd Known …

The question before the presiding judge would be this: Would we, the Windermere victims, be the beneficiaries of our trial court win against Windermere? Or would Lane Powell be the beneficiary? If Lane Powell could absorb the lionʼs share of the award, a lesson would be taught the public: “Sue Windermere? Even if you win, you will lose.”

According to the King County Superior Court webpage, “A judge is randomly assigned by the clerk at the time of filing.” At the time Lane Powell filed its suit there were 32 (thirty-two) judges sitting on Bench.

Only one (1) was married to a Windermere agent/broker, enjoyed a marital share in the Windermere real estate commissions she earned, and was a beneficiary of the Windermere Retirement Plan.

That judge was Richard D. Eadie. And, SURPRISE! Lane Powellʼs lawsuit against two Windermere whistleblowers was assigned to Richard D. Eadie, the Windermere beneficiary. Against 32-1 odds …

From our very first pleading, we told Judge Eadie about our history as whistle blowers against Windermere and the corruption of the captive regulatory agencies. http://www.renovationtrap.com/ In violation of the Code of Judicial Conduct, Judge Eadie did not disclose his Windermere connections to us.

On the same day Lane Powell filed suit, it served discovery requests demanding we produce all communications we had with our attorneys on any subject whatsoever — not just matters pertaining to Lane Powellʼs lawsuit — thereby waiving all attorney-client confidentiality on all subjects. The message was clear: “Pay up, or your confidences will be published in court.” We believe thatʼs extortion under color of law. http://www.everyones-business.org/

Lane Powell told provable and repeated lies to Judge Eadie; when we provided documentation exposing the lies, Eadie simply ignored it and incorporated the lies in his rulings. He hammered us with one unfair decision after another. After ten months of this punishment, we found out about his Windermere connection and asked him to recuse (step down). He refused.

Extortion Under Color of Law. As for the confidences that Lane Powell threatened publish: Judge Eadie first granted, and then denied he had granted, discovery protection. Throughout, we refused to waive our attorney-client privilege. In defiance of the laws safeguarding privilege, Judge Eadie declared we were in

contempt of court for refusing to relinquish our confidential information and that, by refusing, we had stymied Lane Powellʼs case against us. He then used our refusal to waive our privilege to dismiss our defenses and counter claims. He held a Summary Judgment hearing on November 16, 2012, finding for Lane Powell. Four witnesses at that hearing swore out affidavits attesting to the Judge Eadieʼs obvious disregard for truth and prejudice in favor of Lane Powell. Ultimately, Judge Eadie awarded $842,734.67 to ex-Mayor Degginger and his colleagues at Lane Powell.

The message to other would-be Windermere whistleblowers? “Sue Windermere? Even if you win, you will lose.”

Who says cases arenʼt fixed in Washington?

We appealed Judge Eadieʼs refusal to recuse, using an excellent lawyer, James Lobsenz of Carney Badley Spellman, an expert on judicial recusal. The Court of Appeals misrepresented the issue on appeal, and then found against us — on the basis of its own misrepresentation. We then went to the Supreme Court. But even knowing that Judge Eadie kept his Windermere connections secret while hearing a lawsuit against two Windermere whistleblowers, that Lane Powell lied in court, that Judge Eadie had knowingly incorporated those lies into his rulings, and that the four citizens witnessed the judgeʼs prejudicial conduct during the Summary Judgment hearing — the Supreme Court refused to grant us an appeal. (Story at http://www.everyones-business.org)

And Grant Degginger has been appointed to chair of the Public Disclosure Commission … It all passes for justice in the State of Washington.

We have filed a Complaint with the Washington State Bar Association — complete with more that 4,000 pages of documentation. (Synopsis at http://www.everyones-business.org/BarReport/Synopsis.pdf ) But WSBA will take no action, stating we have “insufficient evidence” of the misconduct.

And it all passes for justice in the State of Washington. Written by Carol & Mark DeCoursey *

Snohomish County, WA State Bar and Geoffrey Gibbs linked to Racketering

Reposted from Snohomish County Reporter:

I recently uncovered the fact (via a source) that G. Geoffrey Gibbs was a lobbyist who was suspended from Lobbying, and fined by the state for misappropriating almost 300,000.00 from a previous client amongst many other things. His biggest favors included Judge Marlin Appelwick and at times possibly Judge Becker.
Instead of being sanctioned, suspended or disbarred Mr Gibbs becomes a key player in the WSBA, at the same time as the State AG’s Office has to attach his bank account because he refused to pay his fines.

Not only that he moved on to become a Snohomish County Commissioner, a Judge Pro-Tem, a SnoCo Mediator, a SnoCo Arbitrator, a WSBA Governor, a SCBA Treasurer, a WSBA chair of lawyer discipline, budget and audit committee, chair of investment and civil rights section a Snohomish County Bar Association, President, Trustee, chair of lawyer conduct.

There is a perversion that runs so deep in our Judiciary that it can not be fully explained by any lay person. Not only that, I am 100% positive that most of you knew of his previous iniquities and/or were beneficiaries of his lavish misspending but continued to elevate his status and look the other way.

Appelwick and Becker have made some dubious ruling in favor of Mr Gibbs and Snohomish County. Gibbs has absolutely NO business being in front of the same Judges he was involved in illegal activities with nor do those Judges have any business sitting on a Bench anywhere in our great state.

I am in the process of looking up every case that they have been involved in and notify those people and their attorneys (most of which have been disbarred) along with 3 other people in power that I have I finally have proof about that I am going to publish very soon as soon as we get a few more pieces of documentation, because this goes all the way to the Supreme Court and spills into the Federal Courts down into the local FBI Offices from the Federal Marshall and up. So we the citizens of Washington State have been at the mercy of all of you.

These are only stories about a few of the Judges, and other in the Judiciary, we have far more and at the head of this incestuous relationship is the WSBA. It is absolutely indefensible because I have seen lawyers disbarred for being a few cents short in their IOLTA accounts yet so many others have done far worse and they get rewarded (as illustrated above and below) Even if you can get the Times and other publications to take down these stories I have already taken screenshots and submitted them to the Wayback Machine.
Here are just a few of the articles about all of the laws and rules he violated, and even after the Attorney

The very same Judge who denied Ms Block’s records request against Gold Bar and the one who rules against most people in Snohomish County.

State Sues Goeffrey Gibbs Over Lobbying Expenses

Former Lobbyist Wants Out Of Lawsuit

Troubled Times For Big-Spending Lobbyist — Ethics Probe, Lawsuit, Loss Of Clients Reducing Influence Of Geoffrey Gibbs

Pay very close attention to who was one of his biggest recipients is: Our very own Appellate Court Judge Marlin Appelwick.

Just for your own edification you might want to take a look at how many wins SnoCo and the firm of Anderson Hunter Attorney’s get in front of Appelwick, or Judge Dwyer (former SnoCo Judge) and in front of Judge Robert Leach ( a former attorney for Anderson Hunter, who’s wife Vicki Norris still works for them) also out of Snohomish County. We also have to give a mention to Judge Becker who was also associated with Gibbs in his Lobbyist days…

I would like to know why any of you that are involved in this have continued to let these happen, and to be a party to absolute perversion and destruction of our “Justice System” the laws of this land were written by us, the people, not for the Judges, and Lawyers, please give it back to the people and step down.

I have disseminated all of my documents, and proof to over 25 different people and we have over 14 websites just needing to be published in case anyone is thinking of trying to shut me down, or in case anything were to happen to me “accidentally” so please don’t get any ideas.
If anyone in this email list would like me to file a formal complaint with documentation I am more then willing to give it to you, or to file any formal complaint that needs to be filed. I would also suggest that Gibbs be immediately fired as a mediator, arbitrator, pro-tem and commissioner as he lied on his application in all respects. He also needs to be immediately disbarred along with Appelwick and Becker, along with about 9 others which I will be doing stories on.
If any of you would like to make a statement about your involvement in this I would welcome them and print them in their original form. I am moving forward with these stories whether you step down or not so that you can not pervert our federal, state, county, and city anymore so this is not an “offer” of any kind. People are sick of it and are sending documents, recordings, and all types of other information, not everyone is on board with your corrupt ways.
For those of you responsible for this you can thank City of Everett Prosecutor, Michael Fisher, and City of Everett Judge David Mitchell for setting me on this path after massive violations of my rights, I was a lowly unaware autistic dog rescuer who they “tried to teach a lesson” for fighting back, now I’m something else. I just wanted my animals, my reputation and my life.
From the Gold Bar Reporters; when you see Micheal Fisher please thank him for awaking Snohomish County activist. See http://www.snocoreporter.com

Snohomish County Daily Herald and Seattle Times endorses Honorable Dave Somers

Last week the Seattle Times endorsed The Honroable Dave Somers for Snohomish County Executive, and today the Snohomish County Daily Herald also endorsed Dave Somers.

In 2016, Dave Somers will have his hands full cleaning up and cleaning out thugs from former  Exectuive Aaron Reardon and John Lovick’s left over trash. But Somers feels he’s up for the task and promises change in 2016!

Bravo to the Seattle Times and Snohomish County Daily for endorsing the only real choice for change in 2016.

Snohomish County Commsioner linked to fraud and RICO activity; Spokane Judge linked to corruption

Update:  Blog Talk Radio Show September 12, 2015 at 10 AM, Featured Guest Jill Fleck

Ms. Fleck will tell her story about how Spokane County has allowed an unmarried convicted felon retain custody of her children leading to a much larger corruption scandal involving attorneys in Spokane County

---

 

We’re working on two stories involving fraud and judicial members in Washington State. One involving Snohomish County Commisioner Geoffrey Gibbs and the other involving Spokane Judge Plese.
In each, Washington State Bar members are involved and in one Spokane County case it involves a drug dealer named C. Fleck who plead guilty to felony charges after the FBI caught him chopping up cars he stole from Montana bringing them to his house in Washington State.

C. Fleck also tried to run me off Ben Howard Rd in Monroe in October 2014.

This Spokane case involves a WA State Bar hearing officer and attorney named Lin O’Dell and her convicted killer boyfriend and another attorney who works with O’Dell at 1312 Monroe St Spokane Washington. O’Dell is also the WA State Bar hearing officer caught via a post office box in Duvall what we believe was for accepting bribes from Snohomish County pedophile and former Director John E Pennington to fix a grievance.
More to come but I promise it’s worth the wait.  Hitler would be quite proud of the Washington State Bar and its judicial members. 

Corrupt Duvall Washington police officer Lori Batiot files false police reports, RICO complaint coming

” As the cockroaches scatter”

UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 2015:  KING COUNTY TURNS OVER PUBLIC RECORDS LINKING SNOHOMISH COUNTY POLITICAL APPOINTEE JOHN E. PENNINGTON TO ILLEGAL TRACKING AND CRIMINAL HARASSMENT AS EXPOSED IN THIS ARTICLE. CRIMINAL RICO COMPLAINTS

---

On July 10, 2015, King County Washington released more public records involving corrupt police officer Lori Batiot’s filing false statements inside public records. As a result, Ms. Batiot was notified that she will be sued for defamation, violating my civil rights ( in violation of 42 USC 1983), and because we believe that Lori Batiot’s actions amount to Racketeering, a RICO complaint will also be filed in US Federal District Court against her very very soon.

John E. Pennington and Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) will also be named for their most recent 2015 actions. Crystal Berg plead guilty to bank fraud in 2005; and John Pennington is a prime suspect in the rape of 5 year-old child from Cowlitz County Washington.  Cockroaches above

---

The purpose of this post is to inform the public because we have reason to know for certain that we have a corrupt Duvall public officer named Lori Batiot misusing our resources for her own personal gain.

Late this week, King County government turned over public records showing that Lori Batiot filed an intentionally false statement with King County Sheriff’s Office stating that Gold Bar Reporter Anne Block suffers from mental health issues, was born on 6/16/67 and is unemployed.

Fact is that Anne Block has paid more in income tax in the last ten years that Batiot has made during her entire career as a police officer; Block was born in March not in June; and Block has never been treated for mental health issues of any kind.

In April 2015, after we had reason to believe that Lori Batiot was a good friend of a pedophile from Snohomish County, John E. Pennington, a request for access to public records were requested from her previous employer/s.

A little of what we uncovered was posted on http://goldbarreporter.org/2015/06/

The City of Brier confirmed that Lori Batiot’s history of claiming that people are ” harassing and stalking her” dates back 15 years. What was more telling as to her lack of credibility was that while Ms. Batiot worked at the City of Brier she had just plead guilty to drunk driving in Whatcom County; the City of Brier also confirmed that Batiot has a history of making false allegations of stalking/ harassment and had made almost the same false statements against another officer named Murphy ( City of Brier).

We also have reason to believe Batiot filed false employment applications with both Duvall and City of Brier.  Once those records are released under RCW 42.56, a redacted copy will be posted and a postcard notifying every registered voters in Duvall will be mailed to inform the public that Duvall has a corrupt police officer running criminal interference for a pedophile from Snohomish County.

Getting back to the King County records. After gaining access to public records from Lori Batiot’s false police report, it was clear that the information she illegally obtained and disseminated, then tried to pass off as Gold Bar Reporter Anne Block’s was the same information that John E. Pennington disseminated into Gold Bar public emails in 2009.

Public records from Gold Bar that were accidently released by former Gold Bar clerk treasure Laura Kelly. Ms. Kelly was fired for stealing from the City of Gold Bar in 2012 and was far from the sharpest tool in the shed.

Additional public emails from the City of Duvall document that anytime someone files a police report against John Pennington, corrupt officer Lori Batiot is the supervising officer, and Pennington falsely claims that person filing the complaint has mental health issues.

The only person with mental health problems is John E. Pennington as evidenced by Snohomish County court records illegally sealed by Snohomish County Judge Eric Lucas in Pennington v. Pennington. Inside Court records it was confirmed by a witness that John Pennington was caught taking a stark naked shower with a six year old little girl. Since a RICO suit has been filed against John E. Pennington with a defamation suit coming very very soon  we will hold off posting Pennington’s files until he is deposed.

King County records also document Batiot, a Sheriff’s Officer, a customs officer , a DOJ officer, and a U.S. Marshall, are guilty of domestic spying.  More on that topic shortly.

According to our legal counsel, filing a false report by a public official is a felony here in Washington State.

Question for our readers: Who let the pigs out?

Court of Appeals Div. I Justices Becker, Dwyer and Lau GUILTY of Racketeering?

Mary Kay Becker, judge of Div. I, ( left) Washington State Court of Appeals. When we appealed Judge Eadie’s refusal to recuse,^[1] Judge Becker sided with Judge Eadie (and Lane Powell, Sulkin, etc.). In reaching her decision, she misrepresented the history of the dispute, misrepresented our arguments and the issue before the court, and then ruled on the basis of her misrepresentations. By that technique, a judge can arrive at any decision she wants.

So a curious person might ask, why did Judge Becker want to arrive at that decision? Was she protecting Judge Eadie, as one union member tends to protect another? Whatever the reason, Becker’s misrepresentations and her ruling did not have the appearance of justice.

Stephen Dwyer, judge of Div. I, ( Middle) Washington State Court of Appeals, sat on the panel that affirmed the righteousness of the judge who appeared to be self-dealing.

Linda Lau, judge of Div. I, ( right) Washington State Court of Appeals, sat on the panel that affirmed the righteousness of the judge who appeared to be self-dealing.

 After reading Carol and Bill’s story below, Our readers can be the judge on whether or not the conduct below equates to Racketeering.

We are a married couple (two seniors) of modest income.  New to Washington, in 2004 we were looking for a home. Our Windermere agent arranged a home-purchase renovation package without telling us the contractor was unlicensed, unqualified for the job, and his business partner.  The contractor bungled the job and ruined the value of the home.  Then, in March, 2006, one of the sub-contractors sued us, complaining the prime had not paid him.  (Story at http://www.RenovationTrap.com.)

We defended ourselves pro se and cross-claimed against Windermere Real Estate, the construction company, and others.  We then discovered that other homeowners had been ripped off by Windermere, that the Department of Licensing (DOL) refused to discipline Windermere agents and enforce real estate laws, and that the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) defended DOL’s malfeasance.  We spoke out against the corruption — we became  whistleblowers.  (Story at http://www.Windermere-Victims.com.  See some of the fliers we circulated:  “Crime Syndicate in Washington?” http://www.everyones-business.org/Crime-Syndicate-in-Washington.pdf” and “Legalizing Crime in Washington,” http://www.everyones-business.org/Legalizing-Crime-in-Washington.pdf”).  

In company with other victims of Windermere, we petitioned the State Auditor’s office to investigate the DOL. After almost two years, a report was written, but the AGO attorney on the Auditor’s staff advised that DOL enforcement was discretionary and the report was shelved.  We obtained a copy of the final report, which says little more than that.

We hired a young lawyer to take us to trial.  He’d just started working at mega-firm Lane Powell.  But we did not know that the supervisor of his practice group, Grant Degginger, was the Mayor of Bellevue and Mayor Degginger was presiding over Bellevue’s biggest building boom ever. Only months before, the Washington Association of Realtors and other development interests had financed Degginger’s election — and we were suing Degginger’s political support community.  Lane Powell did not disclose any of this.  Had we known, we would not have agreed to have Degginger controlling our case.

At one point we directed Lane Powell to tell the court about the corruption at DOL and AGO and its impact upon us and other Windermere victims.  Lane Powell refused.  We later learned that Degginger’s wife, a lawyer, had worked for 18 years in the Attorney General’s Office, another fact we would like to have known up front.

We scored a trial victory against Windermere.  But during the course of trial preparation and subsequent appeals, Lane Powell bled our case for legal fees — and then gave away important awards.  We had already paid the firm $313,808.  As soon as we could practically do so, we dismissed Lane Powell (August 3, 2011); that day, Lane Powell filed a lien of $384,881.66 plus interest against our upcoming Windermere judgment payout.  

Two months later, on October 5, 2011 (before we received the payout), Lane Powell sued us for the money.  Its lawsuit was assigned to Richard D. Eadie, whose wife was a Windermere agent/broker; he was himself a beneficiary of Windermere’s retirement plan.  In violation of the Code of Judicial Conduct, Eadie did not disclose this to us. 

On the same day it filed suit, Lane Powell served discovery requests, demanding we produce in discovery all communications we had with its attorneys on any subject whatsoever — not just matters pertaining to Lane Powell’s lawsuit — thereby waiving all attorney-client confidentiality on all subjects.  The message was clear: “Pay up, or your confidences will be revealed.”  We believe that is extortion under color of law.  (Judge Eadie first granted, and then denied he had granted,  discovery protection.)

Lane Powell told provable and repeated lies to Judge Eadie; when we provided documentation proving the lies, Eadie simply ignored it all and incorporated the lies in his rulings. He hammered us with one unfair decision after another.  Then we found out about his Windermere connection and asked him to recuse (step down).  He refused.  He then dismissed our defenses and counter claims and approved an award of $842,734.67 to ex-Mayor Degginger and his colleagues at Lane Powell.  

We appealed, using an excellent lawyer.  The Court of Appeals misrepresented the issue on appeal and affirmed the judgment.  The Supreme Court — even knowing that Judge Eadie kept his Windermere connections secret while trying two Windermere whistleblowers, that Lane Powell lied in court, and that Judge Eadie had knowingly incorporated those lies into his rulings — refused to grant us an appeal.  (Story at http://www.everyones-business.org)  

Grant Degginger is now chair of the Public Disclosure Commission … 

We have filed a Complaint with the WSBA — complete with more that 4,000 pages of documentation.  (Synopsis at http://www.everyones-business.org/BarReport/Synopsis.pdf )

But WSBA will take no action, further encouraging corrupt lawyers in big law firms and government agencies.  What a racket.  

 

My Story…. Bill Scheidler

chief activist at www.CorruptWA.com and www.CorruptWashington.com

 

I discovered a county official was defrauding me and other retired/disabled individuals by deliberately misstating statutory language. The attorney I hired to sue the county was then “extorted” from representing me by using his Bar license as leverage to force him off the case.  I filed a Bar grievance against the lawyer for his breach.  The Bar Association dismissed the grievance in order to  “protect the attorney and the county in their extortion scheme which was to deprive me of my counsel so as to save the fraud being perpetrated by the county upon me and all retired/disabled citizens”… no other lawyer would take the case because of the risk to their Bar license should they represent me against the county’s fraud.  The WA State Bar, in dismissing the grievance against the lawyer “delegated back to me” the task of investigating my grievance stating that the Bar would “re-open the grievance” if a “judicial finding of impropriety” was obtained.  No lawyer would take my case to find a “judicial finding of impropriety”.  So I sued “pro se”.   After more than a year of discovery, depositions and motions, the judge dismissed the case against the attorney under “CR 11″ (one week before trial by jury) and awarded the very attorney, who withdrew under the county’s extortion scheme, sanctions of $132,000.  On appeal, the entire $132,000 was reversed as manifestly unjust and a consequence of the attorney’s discovery abuses and excessive motions,  but remanded for reasonable fees.  On remand a successor judge (a judge never before sitting or hearing any evidence) re-awarded sanctions of $120,000.  On appeal of that award as a violation of the previous Appeal’s mandate, and that a successor judge has no authority to make a decision on facts he never heard, a violation of law- RCW 2.28.030(2), the clerk of the court of appeals, refused to file my opening brief and then the”clerk” dismissed the appeal for failure to file an opening brief.  A motion to modify the clerks unilateral decisons to not file and then dismiss for not filing was dismissed and, as is the custom, sanctions of $4000 were levied against me for bringing a “frivolous motion”.

 

There is still more….  I then filed a ‘citizens criminal complaint’ against the clerk for not filing papers delivered to him – a violation of the statute that lists the duties of court clerks, one such duty is “to file ALL papers delivered for that purpose”.  This ‘criminal complaint’ is authorized under a court rule.  The judge REFUSED to allow me to file this criminal complaint.  I then filed a recall petition, a constitutional right, to remove the judge from his ‘elected office’ because he refused to allow me to file a criminal complaint against the clerk of the court of appeals who violated the law by not filing my paper and then dismissing my appeal for not filing.  This “petition to Recall”, which is a constitutional right, was blocked by a judge.  An appeal was made directly to the WA State Supreme Court (a statutory procedure in “voter” issues)  …. AND of course the Clerk of the Supreme Court refused to file the appeal!  

Question for the readers is: Who let the pigs out? 

Perhaps “we the people ” should file Recall Petitions against any elected official who spits on the civil rights of citizens the way Becker, Dwyer, and Lau did in favor of a piece of shit from Bellevue named Grant Degginger ( Degginger is also the one who gave Gold Bar’s water boy Karl Marjerle a job after public records confirmed that he sabotaged Gold Bar’s water wells and stole from the City. Snohomish County Prosecutor Sean Reay’s wife quashed the criminal charges as a political favor for a pedophile from Snohomish County named John E. Pennington and his mistress Crystal Hill.  Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) plead guilty to bank fraud while she was sitting council member in 2005. Crystal Hill Pennington and John E. Pennington are being sued for RICO violations in US Federal Court with more RICO suits ready to go July 2015 as well as a defamation suit for John Pennington’s Sky Valley Chronicle postings.

First Amendment free from government imposed sanctions, U.S. Supreme Court held

“At the heart of the First Amendment is the recognition of the fundamental importance of the free flow of ideas and opinions on matters of public interest and concern. The freedom to speak one’s mind is not only an aspect of individual liberty – and thus a good unto itself – but also is essential to the common quest for truth and the vitality of society as a whole. We have therefore been particularly vigilant to ensure that individual expressions of ideas remain free from governmentally imposed sanctions.” The First Amendment envisions that the sort of robust political debate that takes place in a democracy will occasionally yield speech critical of public figures who are “intimately involved in the resolution of important public questions or, by reason of their fame, shape events in areas of concern to society at large”. In New York Times, the Court held that the First Amendment gives speakers immunity from sanction with respect to their speech concerning public figures unless their speech is both false and made with “actual malice”, i.e., with knowledge of its falsehood or with reckless disregard for the truth of the statement. Although false statements lack inherent value, the “breathing space” that freedom of expression requires in order to flourish must tolerate occasional false statements, lest there be an intolerable chilling effect on speech that does have constitutional value.
