Political pundit, Jim Hightower said “If the Gods Had Meant Us to Vote, They’d Have Given Us Candidates”
Sadly, in Snohomish County, Washington, all the Gods keep giving us for candidates amounts to trash, like Snohomish County Prosecutor Robert Grant.
Update: Snohomish County Prosecutor Robert Grant did respond to our news report about his involvement in the disgraceful behavior of the entire Snohomish County Prosecutors’ at Lake Chelan:
I have read the articles that you have written about me and wanted to clear up a misunderstanding. Not only am I not depicted in the photograph that you believe is me, but I was not even in Chelan for that conference. I do not know who gave you the idea that this was me, but it is incorrect. I was actually at home on paternity leave with my family after the birth of my youngest son. After reading some of the comments you wrote, especially about my children, I decided it was time to make sure you are aware and that it is very clear this was not me and I was not present at that event or conference.
Thank you,
Robert Grant
Although Mr. Grant denies he was at Lake Chelan, our county source says that the picture below is in fact Robert Grant.
We’ll let our readers be the judge.
In June 2018, Snohomish County Prosecutor, and Superior Court Judge candidate, Robert Grant, sexually assaulted a co-worker, with his felonious conduct, captured on camera, on the taxpayer’s payroll while at Lake Chelan. The event was paid for by the Snohomish County taxpayers.
Above, two pictures of Snohomish County Prosecutor Robert Grant, one shows Grant sexually violating a female co-worker (caught on camera), one taken with county taxpayer monies
To add insult to Snohomish County, especially female voters, Prosecutor Robert Grant wants Snohomish County voters to appoint him to Snohomish County Superior Court judge, Position 8, a seat held by Judge Eric Z. Lucas. Lucas is not seeking reelection.
In a press release, Grant, a veteran of the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office, said he “has spent the last several years prosecuting child sex abusers, arsonists, and murderers.”
“I’m running for Superior Court Judge to bring an expert knowledge of the law – and our community values – to the bench,” said Grant. “I’m proud of the work I’ve done taking on crime over the last decade, but it’s clear I can have a greater impact reducing crime and improving our approach to criminal justice as a member of the judiciary.”
Laughable, since Prosecutor Robert Grant himself, as the picture above clearly shows, is a sexual deviant himself, who enjoys taking and disseminating pornographic pictures of a woman without her consent.
In addition to working as a prosecutor, Robert Grant serves as judge pro tempore in Edmonds and Everett. In the Prosecutor’s Office, Grant serves as a member of the gender equity committee, hiring committee, and as a mentor.
But what Prosecutor Robert Grant failed to tell the citizens of Snohomish County is that he is guilty of sexually violating a county female co-worker.
With no surprise, Grant received endorsements from public safety advocates, judges, and community leaders, including Snohomish County Prosecutor Adam Cornell.
“Robert is a champion for justice in our community and highly skilled at applying the law in a thoughtful, effective, and appropriate way,” said Cornell. “He is the kind of values-minded, impartial leader we need on the Snohomish County Superior Court bench. Robert has my full endorsement.”
Snohomish County Prosecutors Adam Cornell and Michelle Rutherford earlier this year were both cited by Judge Farris for unethical and felonious conduct of obstructing justice and destroying evidence. Any support for a candidate coming from Prosecutor Adam Cornell who was just cited for unethical conduct and obstruction of justice who was just cited for unethical conduct and obstruction of justice is just more evidence that Snohomish County Prosecutors like Adam Cornell have zero respect for their constituents, especially women.
As the Prosecutor for Snohomish County Washington Adam Cornell is the Captain of Ship, as the Washington State Bar Association held In the matter of Paul King
Snohomish County Prosecutor Adam Cornell gets a free pass by the Washington State Bar Association to commit crimes against women.
The Washington State Bar Association has yet to take a single action against any prosecutor for the sexual assault of the female co-worker. Hence why the public at large hates lawyers.
public records from Lake Chelan
To add insult to women and children, Snohomish County Prosecutor Robert Grant was also allowed to stay inside Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office working inside the sexual assault unit, Dawson Place. This after the above pictures amount to felonious crimes against a woman.
Hopefully our readers can understand why a Judge nor Prosecutors like Robert Grant has any business running a non-profit company with taxpayer monies.
If electing a sexual deviant like Snohomish County Prosecutor Robert Grant is the best Snohomish County voters can do, America is in very big trouble.
In 2018, below is a story the Gold Bar Reporter wrote about Dawson Place. A money laundering shrill to funnel millions of dollars in public monies to friends
April 18, 2018 post,
Snohomish County government making Adolf Hitler proud
The truth is sometimes a hard pill to swallow. It sometimes causes us difficulties at home and abroad. It is sometimes used by our enemies in attempts to hurt us. But the American people are entitled to it, nonetheless.
-John McCain
” We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. ” Plato
Two such judicial officers right here in Snohomish County Washington are Judge Janice Ellis and Judge George Appel. Adolf Hitler would quite proud on how our American judicial system has progressed in favor of the state.
A few weeks ago, the Gold Bar Reporter broke the story of a so called 501 (3) ( c) titled http://dawsonplace.org/.
“Dawson Place was the best kept secret” Mark Roe attested to under oath in Shavlik/West v Dawson Place. What disgraced ( and recently resigned) former Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe was referring to was a shadow government agency titled Dawson Place. This allows the County to cherry pick which cases to prosecute or which cases to sweep under the rug when Dawson Place is a participant in criminal complaints.
The true purpose of setting up Dawson Place as a non-profit is two fold.
First, there’s no doubt that Dawson Place is being used to set up defendants. Imagine this: Dawson Place, an alleged 501 (3) ( c) has Prosecutors inside, has law enforcement inside, and a store front political appointee of Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe’s childhood friend Lori Vanderburg.
Here’s how Dawson Place works. Snohomish County government refers all rape and sexually abuse allegations to Dawson Place. An alleged non-profit. At Dawson Place an alleged victim fills out an intake form. The intake form is sent to the Prosecutors, Sheriff’s department, and to Dawson Place’s political director ( and childhood friend of Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe).
Compass Health performs medical evaluations on the alleged victims, most of the time. However, to get to the medical evaluation, first a interview is set up by Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office. The interview is recorded by video means.
By claiming that Dawson Place is a non-profit group, the video is withheld under RCW 42.56 claiming that its not a public record. Participants of this interview includes Snohomish County prosecutors and sheriff’s officers inside Dawson Place, an alleged non-profit group.
But if this doesn’t strike readers as being a gross deprivation of due process rights of the accused, here’s a few more facts about how the Prosecutors and Sheriff’s Officers are fixing the entire case against those accused of child abuse and rape.
Other participants in violating the rights of the accused, Compass Health, Victim Support Services and Snohomish County Public Defenders Association.
Compass Health is simply a store front shrill so Snohomish County Prosecutors can fix cases against the accused. Compass Health makes decisions about whether someone is competent to stand trial and whether or not a victim at Dawson Place has or has not been violated by the accused.
When a defendant is charged with molesting or rape of a child, Compass Health performs the mental health evaluation for Snohomish County Judiciary. The mental health evaluation is then sent to the trial judge for determination on whether a defendant is competent to stand trial.
We could find not one single case in which Compass Health did not state that a defendant was competent to stand trial when the case referral came from Dawson Place.
So imagine this. You are a defendant charged with the hideous crime of raping or molesting a child. First point of order, Judge Appel or Judge Ellis are mainly assigned to as the trial judge in your case. They refer you over to Compass Health to obtain a mental health evaluation. Compass Health is also in charge of collecting evidence on whether the victim who is alleging you either molested or raped them can move forward for physical evidence ( often sperm).
Second, this allows Snohomish County Prosecutors to fix all cases at all levels. And it only gets worse.
Imagine the Judge assigned to adjudicate your case never discloses to you that she or he also worked at Dawson Place and had helped start Dawson Place, this so called 501 (3) ( c).
If this inst bad enough, hold onto your seats. After Dawson Place’s Board ( which includes Snohomish County Prosecutors and Sheriff) holds meetings and votes on whether to prosecute your case, it’s assigned often to a public defender.
Snohomish County Public Defenders Association’s Director/attorney and partner Vicki Norris is from the law firm of Anderson Hunter. Ms. Norris is married to a former partner from the Law Office of Anderson Hunter, Robert Leach. Mr. Leach received a political appointment to Washington Court of Appeals Div. One. .
Robert Leach’s political appointment was made by Governor Christine Gregoire. Robert Leach’s gift to Ms. Gregoire included a deferral of a valid Bar complaint filed against Ms. Christine Gregoire. The Bar complaint was filed by attorney/.activist John Scannell. Allegations were that Gregoire missed a filing deadline costing the taxpayers of Washington State over $25,000,000.00 while she was the Attorney General of Washington State.
Vicki Norris, Judge Robert Leach’s wife was on the Washington State Bar Association’s Disciplinary Review Committee Gregoire’s Bar complaint was filed by Scannell. Washington State Bar Association’s Review Committee makes decision on whether to proceed or not proceed with an investigation on the attorney member.
In the case of the Bar complaint attorney John Scannell filed against Governor Gregoire, Vicki Norris lost it or at least claimed she did.
At the time of Gregoire’s appointment of Robert Leach to Division One Court of Appeals, Robert Leach had zero judicial experience. We call it what it is, a tit for tat political appointment for thwarting a valid Bar complaint against then Attorney General Christine Gregoire for costing the taxpayers of Washington State $25,000,000.00 for missing simple court deadlines.
The OK Boys Home lawsuits were settled as a result of AG Gregoire’s missing a simple deadline ( statute of limitations). However, what our readers should know is why the OK Boys became a law suit. Inside the Ok Boys home, several foster boys made allegations of sexual abuse against politicians from Olympia, and the main reason why Governor Gregoire’s decided to throw the case by missing a simple filing deadline. By doing so, this forced the State to settle the case.
This allowed a major cover up of known politicians who sexually abused foster boys inside the Ok Boys Home. Soon we will release a list of politicians involved in molesting foster boys inside the Ok Boys Home, so hold onto your seats, grab some popcorn and beer, as this list is a list that includes why terminated/disgraced former Dept of Emergency Management Director John E. Pennington has been extorting his way out of criminal prosecutions for years. Criminal prosecutions include abuse of women and children and killing 43 people in the Oso mudslides, because instead of doing his job, Pennington was off on east coast performing functions for FEMA. The Office of Inspector General’s Office told the Gold Bar Reporter that any agency employee receiving a single dime of federal money is not eligible for FEMA contracts; and Snohomish County Ordianace prohibits all salaried employees from working any other job.
But this list explains why mainly politicians like John E Pennington, Marlin Applewick, and Ken Hoover get a free pass on allegations of child abuse here in Washington State.
Simply put, Dawson Place perverts justice by making the workings inside Dawson Place not public record.
Not only does Dawson Place hide who filed the criminal complaints, but it also hides who those complaints were filed against i.e. politicians. As reported last week, it was set up by Snohomish County Prosecutor now Judge Janice Ellis with 95 % of public monies.
I rightfully call Dawson Place a sham, and by perverting justice by its set up, also argue that its guilty of Sherman Anti Trust violations. Perhaps the Gold Bar Reporter will file a taxpayer standing suit soon.
Now onto another scam 501 (3) (c), i.e. Victim Support Services (VSS). VSS receives its referrals solely from Snohomish County Prosecutors office as does Snohomish County public defense contracts. In other words, not only does Snohomish County control and operate a secret organization titled Dawson Place, it also controls the Snohomish County Public Defenders contracts and VSS.
Snohomish County Prosecutor Adam Cornell has been quite busy learning how to thwart the legal rights of Defendants here in Snohomish County. Up until we started investigating VSS, Adam Cornell was the Director and Board Member of Victims Support Services. But it gets better, so too was a public defender named Tom Cox.
So imagine, you are charged with the crime of molesting or raping a child. Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office refers your criminal defense to Tom Cox or worse Phil Sayles. Both are supporters or Board Members of VSS. What a conflict to be supporting another alleged non-profit group VSS, while at the same time hand picked by the Snohomish County Prosecutors Office to defend criminal prosecutions against the accused.
Overall, here’s our findings. Snohomish County Government decides who gets assigned to defend you when you’re charged with a crime. The taxpayers are paying for your defense, and it Snohomish County that hand picks which incompetent public defender gets assigned. Seldom do you the accused get a public defender who hasn’t failed the Bar countless times, nor do you get to have someone defend you who hasn’t been referred by Snohomish County Prosecutors.
We rightfully call this case fixing at every level. With the cards stacked against the accused, is there such a thing as a fair trial? If true, should not the officials involved herein be prosecuted for violating the civil rights of the accused or charged with RICO?
Snohomish County’s Malicious Prosecution of Immigrant Ramanveer Bains
Good morning Saudi Arabia, Snohomish County Washington has a lot in common i.e. fixing cases to condemn the accused for life. Thankfully because of Governor Jay Inslee’s moratorium against the death penalty, Snohomish County wont be able to put you to death.
See https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/washington-governor-announces-moratorium-executions
In June 2017, Snohomish County activist/journalist Lori Shavlik discovered what’s really happening inside Dawson Place i.e. Snohomish County Child Advocacy Services. In 2017, Lori Shavlik field suit against Dawson Place for access to public records. She correctly alleged that Dawson Place is a secret government agency hiding behind non-profit status ( 501 (3) ( c).
Ms. Shavlik correctly pointed out that Snohomish County Prosecutors started Dawson Place and they did so with 95 % of public monies. The total amount of public monies Dawson Place has received thus far exceeds 27 million. She also pointed out that Dawson Place performs mainly government functions of law enforcement and prosecutor decisions.
Strangely most the millions of public monies received by Dawson Place never make it to its tax returns.
Much of what was reported herein would not have been possible without her persistent digging inside public records.
In November 2017, the Gold Bar Reporter sat in the audience listening to oral argument in Shavlik/West v Dawson Place. The issue: is Dawson Place public agency under Our Supreme Court’s Telford holding, thus subject to RCW 42.56 ( the Public Records Act).
For those not familiar with Telford’s holding, here’s a link that might help:
http://joethomas.org/2016/02/washington-public-records-quasi-govermnet-agency-test/
Every judge inside Snohomish County voluntarily disqualified themselves except Judge George Appel and Judge Cindy Larson.
Public records from various news sources confirm that both Cindy Larsen and Judge George Appel worked inside Dawson Place as prosecutors for Snohomish County. Judge Janice Ellis, while acting as prosecutor in Snohomish County, started Dawson Place with former Prosecutor Seth Dawson. Hence how Dawson Place got its name. For those of who knew Seth Dawson as the corrupt prosecutor he is, naming Dawson Place after him was just a little booster.
There’s no doubt about it, Judge Janice Ellis helped Prosecutor Seth Dawson start Dawson Place. She did so with mainly public monies. She solicited public monies in violation of Washington State’s Public Disclosure laws, thumbed her nose at the rule of law, and misappropriated hundreds of thousands of public resources to help start Dawson Place.
The Gold Bar Reporter reported Judge Janice Ellis’s involvement in all of this a few weeks ago.
See https://goldbarreporter.org/2018/08/
Since the above expose’ on Dawson Place, the Gold Bar Reporter has since learned that there are countless cases that should be investigated, one such case is the case against Ramanveer Bains.
For those of my readers who have a slant against Muslims, please don’t send hate mail, unless you’d like your comments public. In addition, please note that the Gold Bar Reporter’s ancestors were German and Austrian immigrants. In other words, the Gold Bar Reporter doesn’t have time for your hatred based solely on religious beliefs and attempts to control the Biblical story.
My only God is ” justice” and she sees nor has any favored religion nor favored color of a human’s skin to distinguish between who gets justice inside our courtrooms and who does not. Justice is defined by honest services. As my readers can see, honest services is something missing inside Snohomish County Washington. Why is simple, because instead of prosecuting criminals, attorneys are siphoning public money and holding kangaroo proceedings with incompetent defense attorneys whose only interest is not working or just simply incompetent like Phil Sayles ( Division One held that Sayles was ineffective assistance of counsel, a disbarable event).
Judge George Appel’s crimes against Ramanveer Bains
the above opinion letters were signed by Snohomish County employees, Detective R. Lewis, Christopher Yue, Keri Wallace, Kaia Scott, Amanda Harpell, and Cindy Larsen and was originally posted on https://www.heraldnet.com/opinion/appel-works-with-child-advocates/
Ramanveer Bains was first accused of raping a 12 year old boy. There was no physical evidence of a rape, confirmed by Compass Health. Instead of admitting that Snohomish County screwed up, under the disgraced and retired Lisa Paul, Snohomish County Prosecutors decided the best way cover up their conspiracy to harm an immigrant was to prosecute Mr Bains on a lesser charge. But there was only one problem, the 12 year old child gave over six (6) different stories and none amounted to Mr. Bains being guilty of anything except a 12 year old child being lonely after school friending a neighbor who happens to be a Muslim immigrant.
Another journalist sat down with Ramanveer Bains last week and learned that he doesn’t speak nor understand English. Although not the central point of this article, we did run a check on his court record and found no evidence that Mr. Bains was offered nor received an interpreter. What Mr. Bains did receive was a clean bill of health from Compass Health stating that he was competent to stand trial.
Trial begins. Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office hand picks the public defender. Neil Patterson and Tom Cox.
In the Bains appeal, who is better equipped to throw the case but a known member of the County’s little scam, attorney Tom Cox. Tom Cox, as my readers may recall, is also a good friend to Snohomish County Prosecutor Adam Cornell, and both served on Victim Support Services Board together.
So imagine this. Mr. Baines has a public defender and good friend of the lead Dawson Place prosecutor Adam Cornell assigned by Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office to defend against allegations that he molested or sought sexual gratification from a 12 year boy. Snohomish County started Dawson Place. Dawson Place decides who gets prosecuted and who doesn’t; Dawson Place, Snohomish County Prosecutors and Sheriff’s Officers meet and vote on whether to prosecute you or not. They do this behind closed doors and then claim that this Board is not subject to the Open Public Meetings Act. Once the decision is made to prosecute you, Snohomish County assigns you the accused to Compass Health. Compass Health is also a participant on whether or not there’s enough evidence to proceed with a criminal prosecution of you or not. However, once Snohomish County/ Dawson Place files the complaint against you the accused, Snohomish County Judiciary shuffles you the accused back to Compass Health for a competency test. Compass Health is allowed to makes decisions on whether to prosecute and also whether you are competent to stand trial .
Fixing cases, or money laundering or perhaps both?
After Compass Health decides that you the accused are competent ( as there is no case where Compass Health ever held that a defendant wasn’t competent to stand trial), next point of order from our good friends inside Snohomish County is what judge will be assigned.
Lo and behold, two Judges are almost always assigned to adjudicate Dawson Place cases, Judge George Appel and Judge Janice Ellis. Remember from the above Herald opinion piece, Judge Appel worked inside Dawson Place, and from my past article from August 2018, Judge Janice Ellis started Dawson Place and had a pecuniary interest by way of a 12 % loan.
Not once did Judge George Appel disclose his participation in Dawson Place to Mr. Bains.
For Mr. Bains, this little racketeering scheme denied him access to Justice. Judge George Appel never not once disclosed to Ramanveer Bains or in a open hearing that he worked inside Dawson Place. Perhaps if Mr. Bains had known, he might have exercised his right to ‘ disqualify a Snohomish County judge as a matter of right once.” But Mr. Bain did not because Judge George Appel did not disclose that while he was a Prosecutor he worked inside Dawson Place. Obviously, if you’re a corrupt judge, you can’t fix cases if the accused is informed, and as for Ramanveer Bains, a man who speaks little English, he was doomed from the get go.
Doomed, not only because George Appel thought it was justifiable to violate the rights of the accused, but also because Mr. Bains’s does not understand English, and with the anti-Muslim rhetoric in this so called American democracy lately, Mr. Bains had no idea about this little racketeering scam he was up against.
In 2016, Ramanveer Bains was convicted not of child rape as originally pursued by our disgraceful excuse for Prosecutors, but for sexual gratification involving a minor. But wait, one last piece of information, the 12 year child was interviewed six (6) times yielding a different statement in all six interviews. The Prosecutor used only the interview that supported its position, and then hide the rest under seal from the jury, and Judge Appel squashes any attempt to include the other six interviews. Thus, fixing the case against Mr. Bains.
As for Mr. Bains so called public defender, he did nothing except agree to “seal Dawson Place interviews” so that Mr. Bains could not use the interviews to support his appeal.
Mr. Bains remains imprisoned for a crime he may or may not have committed. With the cards stacked against the accused, we may never know if Mr. Bains committed the crime he was found guilty of. Until Mr. Bains gets a fair trial, we shall never know.
We do however know that Ramanveer Bains had no past criminal history whatsoever.
You decide is this is our so called American Democracy or not? The only advocate on the 9th Circuit for Justice was the former Chief Justice Alex Kozinski, but false allegations against Justice Kozinski managed to conspire to push him out of the 9th Circuit.

We are going to make the sun shine again in Snohomish County
In 2017, we started investigating Dawson Place as Snohomish County’s little domestic spy organization, and in 2018, we affirmatively had uncovered much more, including siphoning of public monies in favor of Anderson Hunter Law Firm, mainly G. Geoffrey Gibbs. Geoffrey Gibbs was convicted of fraud by the Washington State Attorney General’s Office during the 1990s and suspended from Lobbying permanently as a result. Gibbb’s crimes including shuttling terminated John E. Pennington and Court of Appeals Justice Marlin Appelwick to a brothel just outside Portland Oregon to have sex with under age women.
In my opinion, anyone who travels interstate to have sex with underage girls is a pedophile and involved in child sex trafficking. An issue for later articles.
But ask readers to think long and hard why Snohomish County set up Dawson Place, and check the FBI stats on reports of child sex abuse cases. Reporting the truth doesn’t sell houses, and from past public records from Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe’s house, its clear he and his wife Lisa Paul have been given inside information from the developers on what land deals to make. Roe and Paul profited in excess of $500,000.00 by given a scent from the developers early plans to develop Goodwin Lake in Stanwood.
One of the same issues that gave rise to the investigation of Gold Bar’s former Mayor Crystal Hill ( convicted of bank fraud in 2000, 2005). At the time we started investigating Crystal Hill for fraud, it was clear based on her actions in favor of the developers that she had an interest in annexing unincorporated Gold Bar. Ms. Hill even threatened a Gold Bar Planning Commissioner who opposed her plans to develop.
