Six Seattle Police Officers who Participated in Attempting to Overthrow the will of the voters, still remain on Seattle’s welfare system



On January 2, 2021, six Seattle Police Officers participated in violent protests, most were Pro Trump White Supremacists’. Purpose was to overthrow the US Congress. Permit 21-0274 granted a permit to Pro-Trump Protesters the right to march on the National Mall In Washington D.C., but the Permit did not grant anyone the right to storm, siege the US Capital, threaten, kill or harm police officers, or even breach the concrete barriers surrounding the US Capital.

But that’s exactly what Pro Trump Rally supporters did on January 6, 2021. What would the outcome be if Black Lives Matter protestors, who were African American Seattle Police Officers, committed the same treasonous acts against our government? Would those same police officers still have a job?

Since the Pro Trump Rally, 500 plus people have been arrested for illegally breaching the terms of the Permit 21-0274. Peaceful protests pursuant to the First Amendment is what makes a America great. But destroying public property and assaulting police officers is far from protected first amendment activity. Approximately 500 people have been arrested, ranging from arrests for destruction of public property to assaulting police officers. Many Pro Trumpsters were out right vulgar, one even defecated on Senator Pelosi’s desk, and in our opinion amounted to treason.

The Guardian US reported on how white supremist who closely align themselves with Adolf Hitler like tactics supported by Donald Trump and many of his followers have infiltrated our police departments nationwide. US Federal District Court Judge Robart recognized the problem specifically in the City of Seattle police department by issuing a consent decree after the City of Seattle police officers stalked and harassed minorities while on patrol.

Judge Robart’s consent decree has been in effect since 2012. Robart said ” I am hearing a lot of words. But I don’t measure progress by words. I measure it by action.” Since 2012 when Robart’s court began monitoring civil rights violations committed with several City of Seattle police officers, his order has had little effect in riding our communities of Brady Cops and White Supremacists inside police departments.

This brings us to the lead story on six Seattle Police Officers who area alleged to have “breached” the terms of the Pro Trump Rally Permit on January 6, 2021, when they entered the US Capital Building which was surrounded by concrete barriers.

About one month ago, DIVESTSPD released the names of all six Seattle police officers. After receiving responses to public records requests for all six police officers from the City of Seattle stating that they cannot release the employee files for Seattle Officers Scott Bach, Shaub Briskey, Jacob Briskey, Caitlan Rochelle, Alexzander Everett, Jason Marchoine, and Michael Settle, we feel confident that DIVEST SPD’s report on the names of the six police officers is correct, and the Gold Bar Reporter’s editorial Board decided to publish.

The Gold Bar Reporter requested the followers records for all Seattle police officers,

Pursuant to RCW 42.56, please provide me with all cell phones records for Scott Bach. Specifically, I am asking for is all bills with call logs from the actual cell phone company for any cell phone Scott Bach, Shaub Briskey, Jacob Briskey, Jason Marchione, and Michael Settle, used from November 1, 2020 to March 1, 2021.

To the City of Settle to unlawfully claim that releasing cell phone bills of any police officer violate any court order as the court order only stated that the City could not release the names of any officers. What happens when the names are already public? We can tell you that a lawsuit will be filed against the City of Seattle for violating our rights to access public records.

Just as the Washington Post published the Pentagon Papers, the names of six Seattle Officers, who four out of the six are Brady Cops, are not private so long as they remain on the taxpayers payroll or as we say ” the City of Seattle’s welfare system.”

May 12, 20201 UPDATES TO “GAME OVER

POLITICAL EXPERTS PREDICT ALLAN COPSEY AND NOAH PURCELL’S INVOLVMENT IN BOB FERGUSON’S RICO WILL BE THE FOCUS OF GLOBAL PRESS COVERAGE AND END THEIR CAREERS

OPENLY CORRUPT PRIVATE AND PUBLIC ATTORNEYS REPRESENTING THE STATE OF WASHINGTON ARE NOT JUST ACTING AS LITIGATORS, THEY ARE NOW AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE FRAUD ACCORDING TO LAW PROFESSORS

As Bob Ferguson and Peter King’s Lloyd’s of London affiliated snowball of fraud quickly becomes an avalanche landing at the foot of the 9th Circuit and the global press in Block v. WSBA, our case is taking an interesting and unexpected turn.

Interest by both the global media and legal academics has been non-stop since our article “Seattle’s Epstein.” While we expected this to occur eventually, what we didn’t expect is the attention of the press and academic community to include federal judges, the Ninth Circuit Court, and both public and private attorneys as central elements of the story.

The increasing attention on the judges and the Ninth Circuit was referenced in our last update of May x, 2021. What is new since that update are consistent comments by several law professors and law journalists that both public and private attorneys have clearly crossed the line from representing a RICO enterprise to being participants in the RICO enterprise.

In knowingly violating the law and knowingly representing both state and private clients actively operating a RICO, the openly corrupt attorneys are not only subject to personal liability and loss of their licenses to practice, but they are also subject to criminal penalties according to the academics. There are four main reasons why they have crossed the line, they indicate:

1)      The State Constitution.  Article VIII Section 7 stipulates that the state cannot give or loan money to a private association, which the Washington State Supreme Court defined the Washington Bar in February 2021 as private association and not a public agency. The state has illegally spent tens of millions of dollars to provide free counsel for the bar.

2)      The Federal Constitution. The Fifth Amendment of the Federal Constitution stipulates the right of due process. After being ordered by the Federal District Court to file no further actions in Block v. WSBA, The defense attorneys are illegally filing motions for the purpose of denial of due process, and are in violation of Section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act by acting under color of law.

3)      The Court Record. Each and every attorney has read the court record and is aware of how the Lloyd’s /Washington State RICO controlled by Bob Ferguson and Peter King of the Association of Washington Cities operates.

4)      Duties Resulting from Knowledge of Criminal Activity. The implication of this knowledge is that every attorney has a duty under RPC 1.6 “to prevent the client from committing a crime or fraud that is reasonably certain to result in substantial injury to the financial interests or property of another and in furtherance of which the client has used or is using the lawyer’s services.” Further the lawyer must then reveal information to “prevent, mitigate or rectify” that injury. Rule 1.2 prohibits a lawyer from counseling or assisting the client in conduct the lawyer knows is criminal or fraudulent.  Rule 1.4  requires a lawyer to disclose material facts to avoid assisting a cli­ent’s crime or fraud,” based on the State Supreme Court’s Hamilton decision.  Rule 3.3 requires a lawyer representing a client in an adjudicative proceeding who “knows that a person intends to engage in, is engaging in or has engaged in criminal or fraudulent conduct related to the proceeding” to “take reasonable remedial measures, including, if necessary, disclosure to the tribunal.” And finally, Rule 8.3 directs  a lawyer who knows that another lawyer or a judge has engaged in misconduct raising a “substantial question” about honesty or fitness to inform an “appropriate authority.” The Supreme Court established that attorney-client confidentiality is not applicable where there is knowledge of criminal conduct.  Several federal court rules are in violation as well, which we shall cite shortly.

Bottom line: no matter what their openly corrupt bosses like Leslie Seffren, who is currently under investigation for decades of guardianship fraud, child trafficking, money laundering and tax evasion, tell them, they will be on their own when this case is at the top of the front page of mainstream media.

Can the openly corrupt attorneys acting to further the Lloyd’s/Washington State RICO, such as Copsey, Noah Purcell, etc etc who appear to be relying on their corrupt network to fix cases control the global press?

We shall see soon enough!

Keating, Bucklin & McCormack, Inc., P.S, fraud, forgery and false filings, perjury and constructively disbarred from NY State and admitted to practice law in Washington State

Attorney Shannon Ragonesi, an attorney at Keating, Bucklin & McCormack, Inc., P.S, was constructively disbarred from the State of New York (NY). In New York, unlike Washington State Bar Association, is operated by NY State’s Board of Examiners, a state licensing agency. With no surprise, Ms. Ragonesi was a dear friend of Attorney General Bob Ferguson while they both attended NY Law School; and both participated in the helping the Catholic Church cover up hundreds of sexual abuse cases here in the Pacific Northwest.

When a complainant files a bar complaint in NY State, the lawyer is giving a copy of the complaint and a copy is filed with the State of NY’s Judiciary Here in Washington State, when a person files a Washington State Bar Association complaint, such complaints are filed with an alleged private association.

Using the word “alleged” means “not proven.” In the case of the Washington State Bar Association, we discovered three important features through various public records requests to the Washington State Attorney General’s Office, (1) the Washington Attorney General is illegally running the private Washington State Bar Association’s Continuing Legal Education classes,, (3) the Washington Attorney General is illegally hosting the Washington State Bar Association’s email server, (3) The Washington Attorney General is illegally running is providing free rent to the Washington State Bar Association at two publicly owned buildings, one in Olympia and one in Seattle on 4th Ave, and The Washington Attorney General is illegally funneling millions of public money to several law firms that defend the Washington State Bar Association such as Pacifica Law Group, Keating Buckling and McCormack ( and NY disbarred attorney Shannon Ragonesi), Kenyon Disend PLLC, and Gordon Rees and illegally using the AG’s risk management division also known as Department of Enterprise Services to provide legal services to the Washington State Bar Association, and (6) the Washington State Bar Association is stealing public money from the Washington State Public Retirement System (PERS).

If the Washington State Bar Association is not a public agency, then why are the taxpayers of Washington State allowing Washington State Bar employees Doug Ende, Kara Ralph, Felice Congalton, Scott Busby, and Allison Sato to collecting a state funded paid retirement from the taxpayers? Is this a welfare program given to alleged private associations?

Shannon Ragonesi, after being constructively disbarred from NY State, called a good friend of hers here in Washington State, Bob Ferguson who personally authorized Shannon Ragonesi to commit the same crimes against taxpayers as she did in NY State. Ms. Ragonesi’s crimes include false filings, perjury, harassment of public records requesters, forgery, fraud, theft of public money, and defamation. But she had a lot of help from other Special Assistant Attorney Generals like King County Superior Court and SAAG Judges such as Michael Scott ( Hillis Clarke, Martin and Peterson), Jim Rogers (Fox Rothchilds), Julie Spector (Lane & Powell), and Joseph Genster ( Hillis Clarke, Martin & Peterson).

Here’s the Washington State Attorney General’s Office case fixing scam works. SAAGs like disbarred NY State Attorney Shannon Ragonesi is paid millions via a fraudulent scam titled the Special Attorney General contracts. The Washington State Attorney General makes judicial appointments and the Governor simply rubber stamps the request. Since Governor Inslee has been in office, we could find only one judicial appointment in the whole state that was not a SAAG on contract with the Washington State Attorney General’s Office to provide a legal defense to public agencies. This means when a person is charged with a crime, or perhaps brings a lawsuit for access to public records, the agency, as was the case in Gold Bar Washington, is defended 100 % by the Washington State Attorney General’s contractors aslo known as SAAGs, and the Judge, like Michael Scott ( King County), Marybeth Dingledy (former employee of King County and City of Everett), Bruce Weiss (labeled a SAAG by AG’s list), Cindy Larsen (labeled a SAAG by AG’s list),, Julie Spector (SAAG law firm at Lane & Powell), and Jim Rogers ( King County SAAG while employed at Fox Rothchild) hear and decide your case. This in spite of the fact that the Washington Court of Appeals Div. I held in Ann Gonzales v WA State that a SAAG attorney cannot be have a SAAG Judge hear and decide any part of their case, or in the words of the Gonzales Court, the right to a fair and impartial judge is constitutional right . . . if a judge was a SAAG, and the Defense counsel was SAAG, disclosure isn’t enough, a judge must recuse themselves from the cases.”

If having a SAAG Judge hearing and deciding cases involving other attorneys such as SAAG law firms like Keating, Buckling and McCormack, or worse, US Federal District Court Judge Richard Jones, Ronald Leighton, Benjamin Settles, and Ricardo Martinez ( all SAAGs while employed with WA State), is this not case fixing at the highest level in the state? In Block v WSBA et al ,S Federal District Court Judge Ricardo Martinez, and local Snohomish County District Court Judge Douglas Fair, we obtained telephone records from SAAG attorney, Special Snohomish County Deputy Prosecutor at Hillis Clarke, Martin & Peterson confirming beyond any doubt that Snohomish County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney (SAP/SAAG) Joseph Genster openly engaged in exparte communication via public telephone records with judges.

In Block v Gold Bar, SAAG/SAP Shannon Ragonesi openly brags of her case fixing scam using King County Superior Court Judge ( also a SAAG at Hillis Clarke Martin & Peterson) Michael Scott to SLAPP public requesters down from trying to file lawsuits for access to public records. A case the US Court of Appeals 9th Circuit just agreed hear in Block v WSBA et al, can a judge who was a SAAG, as Ricardo Martinez was with WA State Attorney General’s Office, hear and decide cases when SAAGs Gordon Rees, Leslie Seffren and Shannon Ragonesi are representing the defendants? Under Ann Gonzales v Washington State, our state courts have already held ” NO” and that recusal was mandatory to preserve a litigant’s constitutional right to a fair and impartial judge.

Sorry SAAG/SAP/AWC contractors, the cat is out of the bag. If every defendant filed a disqualification against every judge that had SAAG/SAP contracts with Judges like Jim Rogers, Julie Spector, Bruce Wiess, Cindy Larsen, or Michael Scott, how many cases would be overturned for not recusing themselves ensuring that a litigant should have a fair and impartial judge? Washingtonians have a Constitutional right to access to courts, and a right to unlimited public records. and should never be faced with a judicial plant sent by the AG’s office to fix cases as “risk management.”

Outside Audits Demanded of National Employment Security Candidate

Claims of “Nigerian Fraud” Questioned as Cause of Record Losses

Part Two of Five – By The Gold Bar Reporter

Former Washington State Employment Security Commissioner LeVine (R) is Responsible For the Largest Loss from Fraud in her State’s History. She is Alleged to Have Actively Engaged in a Coverup of Massive Internal Fraud and Negligence.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is image.png

Seattle, Washington State Feb. 12, 2021. When Sage Wilson of Working Washington heard former State Employment Security (ESD) Department Commissioner LeVine – and current National Employment Security appointee – quote a $650 million dollar loss from ‘Nigerian’ fraud while claiming not to know how many claims the losses related to, the red flags went up.

“How can anyone give a loss figure without knowing the number of claims involved? Something’s really wrong here,” he said. Other state’s employment security departments that have released dollar figures from fraud, in fact, have also released the number of associated false claims. “How can you know one without the other?” asked a prominent employment lawyer. “Isn’t it just simple math?”

The highly regarded Ninth Circuit public interest attorney John Scannell has his own equation: “If former Commissioner LeVine had no idea what numbers were associated with the losses, how on earth did she immediately conclude that it was ‘Nigerian Fraud’?” he said. “Add that fact to LeVine’s obstruction of the Washington State Auditor’s staff. Doesn’t that equal probable cause of internal fraud?” he added.

Like the number of unresolved unemployment claims, the chorus of voices that had called for Ms. LeVine’s resignation had been escalating at the same rate as the current questions of her qualifications being asked regarding her pending federal appointment. “We’re talking about a person who is a patronage appointment with absolutely zero qualifications, and who has demonstrated total incompetence. The people who are some of our most vulnerable in Washington state have paid a high price for obvious political patronage – should the entire nation?” said Mr. Scannell.

“It’s just inconceivable that a demonstrably incompetent employment security director in history, who lied to state auditors, who is the sole person responsible for killing the new software that could have prevented the fraud just months before COVID-19,” said an ESD staffer.

Ms. LeVine’s background includes a position in a luxury travel subsidiary of a software business and  fundraising for the Democratic party. With no experience she was given a foreign position in the State Department by the Obama Administration. After her $17,500 donation to Washington Governor Inslee, she was then appointed by him as Commissioner of Employment Security.

“This is the worst conceivable caricature of a patronage appointment. We’re talking about someone whose resume is absent any relevant government experience whatsoever, and a person who is completely disconnected from the reality of the unemployed,” said Mr. Scannell. “If someone really deems it necessary to give someone a patronage appointment, why hand a job caring for the unemployed to an unqualified multi-multi-millionaire who has demonstrated contempt for the unemployed?”

Ms. LeVine may in fact be less than directly impacted by the suffering caused by her mismanagement. With her husband Eric, Ms. LeVine lives in a $3.5 million-dollar 7,200 sq. ft. Seattle mansion. They own a multimillion-dollar software company that tracks wine collections for the world’s wealthiest people. The State of Washington paid her substantially over $200,000 including benefits and allowances.

Meanwhile, Ms. LeVine’s disconnection from the pain and suffering caused by her historic mismanagement appears to have coincided with what is being calling “an utterly sadistic negligence of her responsibility to have cared for the unemployed,” according to a prominent employment law attorney. “Ms. LeVine cynically used several of the same fraudulent tactics to deny claims that she used to obstruct audits,” she said.

According to the employment law attorney, the tactics deployed against claimants and auditors alike include feigning confusion, shuffling people between ESD employees, refusing to release information, destroying documents, and simply not responding to inquiries. “Federal crimes have been committed here. Why are there no federal charges? These are criminal acts.” said the attorney who has shared notes with colleagues. “Where is the federal investigation?”

“The conclusion that we’ve all come to is, if it was really ‘Nigerian fraud’ as Ms. LeVine has claimed in Washington state, why did she obstruct the audits?” said the employment law attorney. “Why aren’t all the records being posted online after an outside GAAP equivalent audit? Isn’t this a lot of the public’s hard-earned money? What business could possibly run without accounting for where the money is going?” she said.

Meanwhile, for her part, with her only accomplishments in government being the greatest loss to fraud in the history of Washington State, insiders express incredulity of her current pending appointment, “this is utterly the worst conceivable candidate for the person responsible for some of our nation’s most vulnerable, the unemployed. It is inconceivable to even consider this person for the appointment,” stated attorney Mr. Scannell.

Ms. LeVine, who contrary to federal law accepted $9000 worth of gifted luxury wine tasting functions in Luxembourg while working in her political patronage appointed State Department job in Switzerland and living in a government provided $25 million dollar mansion, asked the unemployed and the taxpayers of Washington State to trust her. Now she asks the nation.

When asked exactly how much money had been taken from the unemployed of the State of Washington, and exactly how it happened, her response was, “trust me, I want to know. I asked every single day,” although she had direct and unlimited access to all accounting and transaction information.

Ms. LeVine’s business philosophy may be of little consolation to Washington’s unemployed and taxpayers: “fail fast, and fail cheaply,” said Ms. LeVine. The “North star” for her personal moral compass, she says, is the Jewish expression “tikkun olam” which means “repair the world.”

“Perhaps Ms. LeVine could repair an important part of the world by assuming responsibility for the results of a comprehensive outside audit of the mess she left in Washington State,” said attorney Mr. Scannell. “The best thing she could do for all of us is to decline the patronage appointment and not doing any more damage.”

National Employment Security Appointee

Suzan LeVine Retaliated Against Claimants, Whistleblowers claim

Washington State ESD Commissioner LeVine is Responsible for the Largest State Loss from Fraud in U.S. History

Seattle, Washington State Jan. 5, 2021. When 21-year-old ‘Sonya L.’ applied for unemployment benefits in Washington State, she filled out every form and complied with every law. Nothing happened for months. And months. And months.

While employment security offices (ESD) across the country are having challenges ranging from fraud to backlogs, Washington State has stood out among all others for several reasons, according to claimants, lawyers, and government insiders.

At the center of the dysfunction, they say, was Suzan LeVine, a state political appointee who is now nominated to be responsible for the nation’s entire employment security system following a $400,000 donation to the Biden campaign. Sonya’s L.’s Washington state experience, however, may cause the U.S. Senate to take a closer look before confirming LeVine.

LeVine’s critics responded to political appointment by highlighting problems at the ESD under her leadership, in which Nigerians create a fraud scheme that stole $600 million in unemployment funds, and months of delays in unemployment payments to eligible claimants during the pandemic.

In contrast to Sonya L’s experience with unemployment benefits, career criminal Austin Schwahn, whose street alias is “Austin ‘Rockstrom,” filed false claims while using drugs. He promptly received a check in full from Ms. LeVine’s office. Although a written fraud claim was officially filed by a highly credible witness months before, the convicted heroin dealer continued to receive unemployment benefits from Washington State Employment Security Commissioner Suzan LeVine’s office.

Meanwhile, over a period of six months, Sonya L. made dozens of calls to the Employment Security Department (ESD), spent over 20 hours on hold and sent several emails to the State for her unemployment claims. She finally began receiving a weekly check. But while her past due claims had been approved – which would have been enough to pay for a place to live – they failed to come through.

Finally, after continuous efforts produced no results, the former journalism student reached out to friends in the media. They gave her the personal email address of then ESD Commissioner Suzan LeVine. After sending an email to former Commissioner LeVine, it got a reaction, but not the one she expected. “Rather than helping resolve the claim,” Sonya L. said, “former Commissioner LeVine immediately retaliated against me.”

Within hours of reaching out to the former Commissioner, in fact, Sonya L. received a response from ‘Agent #644.’ “At first I was really encouraged to have received such a fast reply after so much time and effort to resolve the claim,” she said. “I guess I shouldn’t have had so much faith after all that’s happened, and everything that’s been covered in the media.”

A lot has, indeed, been covered in the media. Former Commissioner LeVine had become the national symbol of government dysfunction. Articles in the local, regional, and national press referred to Ms. LeVine as being solely responsible for allowing the greatest single social services fraud in the history of her state to occur as a result of her negligence. LeVine then, according to Washington State’s Auditor, concealed the losses.

Regardless of the press coverage, when ‘Agent #644’ again asked for the same information that Sonya L. had previously provided, she wasn’t initially concerned. “At first I thought, ‘well, since they’re getting back to me so quickly, at least they’re trying to take care of this.’ It was really naïve of me. Later it seemed clear that the delays are a calculated process by the State to illegally deny claims.”

When Sonya L. reached out to friends in the press who had previously covered government stories, her feelings were confirmed – she learned of a pattern of practices the State employs to deny benefits claims. “It’s a four-part process,” one journalist explained to her, “The first step is simply ignoring claimants. If people are persistent, the second step is ‘case shuffling,’ it’s where the case is moved from agent to agent to wear you down.”

That was exactly what Sonya L. experienced. “After again giving all the required information to agent #644, I then received a message from ‘Lisa C.,’ who asked for documents that aren’t even required by law,” stated Sonya L. “This is exactly what insiders said would be the third step.” Before she even had a chance to respond to ‘Lisa C.,’ the case was ‘shuffled’ again. This time to a ‘Case Investigator.’

“This is the fourth step in the process of denying valid claims,” her journalist friend told her. “Taking the offensive. Starting a pretext ‘investigation’ when the claim is perfectly valid. Basically, it’s an intimidation tactic.” Joseph Nessinger, referring to himself as a ‘Case Investigator,’ as Sonya’s journalists friends predicted, sent an email to Sonya L. requesting a call. Joseph Nessinger is, in fact, a private investigator who is alleged to be fraudulently licensed as a result of his unreported prior conviction by the IRS for unpaid taxes.

In response to private investigator Nessinger’s emails, which clearly and falsely implied he was a state employee, on the advice of her journalist friends Sonya L. began looking for legal counsel. She sent an email to Nessinger asking for an extension of Lisa C.’s three-day deadline asking for documents not required by law. She explained that she needed time to find an attorney. Sonya L. also cited the law that doesn’t require her to provide the documents they demanded.

Lisa C. responded by offering a two-day extension to Sonya L., but ignored her request for a written response – required under the law – as to why her benefits were illegally suspended pending the conclusion of an ‘investigation,’ why there is an ‘investigation’ when she complied with all  requirements, and why she is being asked for documents that are not stipulated by law.

Meanwhile, throughout the greatest crisis and need for unemployment security in State history, Ms. LaVine, “earned substantially more than $200,000 a year in salary, benefits, and expense accounts, was taking vacations, and was often absent from the office,” according to insiders. There have been countless public demands by the press and politicians for her resignation. Multiple law firms have started class action suits.

“I just keep thinking, ‘If this could happen to me, I can’t imagine the amount of real-world pain and suffering that this mess at the State’s Unemployment office is causing to single mothers in rural areas, children who are going hungry, the elderly and people with illnesses,’” said Sonya L.. “It’s hard to imagine how much suffering could have been relieved by the money that was allowed to be stolen.”

“Let’s be clear about this,” said an employment law attorney who asked not to be named, “People need to figure out another approach to deal with Employment Security management,” he said. “These are illegal acts. People need to start filing public records requests and federal criminal complaints under USC 1983 civil rights violations against senior ESD staff . Something has got to change.”

Several hundred thousand unemployed Washingtonians would likely agree. Victims are now proposing public rallies – like the rallies being held to advocate for the defunding of police departments. “The management of ESD needs to be held personally accountable,” said another employment law attorney.

“One would think that there are many people immediately effected by the illegal withholding of their money. I think a strategically located rally would have a big impact. Like WTO.” Clearly, something has got to change. Perhaps if it’s likely to change anywhere, it’s likely to change in Seattle.

It is likely that Austin “Rockstrom” was hoping things wouldn’t change – in addition to nearly $10,000 in unemployment benefits, he received a $2,000 bonus payment from Ms. LeVine’s former office that was promptly spent on street drugs, courtesy of you, the Washington State taxpayer. The people of the state have financed both his ‘drug store’ and his heroin addiction.

Mr. “Rockstrom,” a convicted career criminal, has never even looked for a job once in his life, according to the official sworn fraud complaint filed with Ms. LeVine’s former office. The complaint regarding Mr. “Rockstrom” that was filed several months ago was only acted on recently after several follow up complaints with ESD.

Unable to pay her rent, Sonya L., however, was evicted and became homeless for the first time in her life. Mr. Rockstrom, his ‘business’ boosted by a windfall of taxpayer money, is now doing better than ever. Although she notified ESD in writing that she had been employed for a two week period to correct her original unemployment claim, Ms. LeVine’s office filed fraud charges against ‘Sonya L.’

The Senate will now decide if the entire nation’s unemployed, in the worst unemployment environment since the great depression, will have to rely on Ms. LeVine for their survival.

Just as Donald Trump appointed Mitch McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, to an office she was not qualified for, Joe Biden appears to be taken a punt from Trump’s playbook by hiring political infiltrators like Elaine Chao whose simply contributed money in exchange for a political appointment.

The Washington State Auditor’s Office confirmed that there were six whistleblower complaints filed by state employees who were threatened by Suzan Levine. Very disappointed in President Biden, who one time said ” the most patriotic thing an American can do is fight corruption.”

Donald Trump, the greatest threat to America’s National Security

Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump

In the last days of his presidency, Donald Trump has incited violence, and has engaged a deliberate campaign of terrorism aimed at dividing Americans, like myself, who opposed him politically. As a result, Donald Trump has become the greatest threat to America’s National Security that America shall ever see.

But why, why is the so called leader of the free World engaging in such terroristic acts and inciting violence in the last days of his administration?

I believe the answer is simple: Donald Trump, and his children, are facing criminal charges in several states for money laundering and racketeering. Once Trump leaves office, a prediction that criminal charges will follow and his attempts to overthrow the will of the voters is nothing more than his attempt to save himself.

In late 2018, Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen turned over mounds of files to the FBI. So much so that the FBI raided Trump’s tax lawyers offices in downtown Chicago. From that investigation, New York state attorney General’s Office started investigating ” The Trump Foundation” for racketeering. Michael Cohen gave the state of New York a treasure trove of files implicating Trump and his children in a massive money laundering scam called ” The Trump Foundation.”

Trump is using a tactic known as “stochastic terrorism,” says Juliette Kayyem, former assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security. Similar tactics that Adolph Hitler used to instigate hatred against mainly German Jews, political foes and gays. This method provokes acts of extremist violence against people who do not share the same opinion. This type of rhetoric incites others to commit violent acts in their name.

According to a 1990 Vanity Fair interview, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that Trump kept a book of Hitler’s speeches near his bed, reading excerpts every night before bed. This statement alone supports a position taken by many, including myself, that Trump is purposefully inciting violence and should be arrested without delay.

The bigger question that seems to slide by most Americans is simple: Why is Trump ramping things up lately? Bob Woodward once said to me ” Anne, follow the money.” I believe he was right.

Last month, Deutsche Bank announced it was calling in Trump’s $340,000,000 loan for failure to pay. Follow the money might be understatement here. During the summer of 2020, Trump misused taxpayer money in an attempt to block a valid congressional subpoena seeking access to his banking records. Other banks Trump has loans with are also closing in to collect. Some argue: Why should Trump have to turn over his banking records? Simply put, most treasonous acts committed against America involve a transfer of money. Without access to banking records of public officials, America’s National Security is at great risk of having foreign governments straggle our so called democracy.

The Nation had it right when it published The Family That Grifts Together. Soon after this story was published, leaks came from the State of New York that Trump’s children have been stealing from the Trump’s non-profit foundation. After a court found Trump guilty of theft from the non-profit, he paid back over $2,000,000 of stolen funds. According to our counsel, “just because Trump paid back what he stole as a civil penalty, does not mean he is out of the woods on the criminal charges. In fact, by paying back what he stole from the non-profit, he almost made an admission to the State of New York that he misappropriated non-profit money to benefit himself and his children.”

When Trump’s son Eric was subpoenaed to testify in a Grand Jury New York state inquiry, he fought the subpoena. His lawyers stated that Eric has a 5th Amendment right not to testify against himself. But the truth is, New York State seated Grand Jury, and the only plausible reason for doing so to pursue criminal charges.

Trump’s recent rhetoric is nothing more than an attempt to save himself from criminal prosecution and his 7th Bankruptcy.

My readers probably guessed that I never was never nor ever will be a Trumpster, for many reasons, including the fact that he was a draft dodger, marries like its just another day at the office, treats women with utmost disrespect, tramples on the civil liberties of Americans, obstructs women’s rights, and failed at every business dealings he ever participated in. These failures are not signs of a great leader or great business man, they signs of a failure and a con artist.

My father served in World War II, never filed bankruptcy, was a dedicated federal government employee, and was married to my mother for 36 years. He set the example of how a good American male should be behave, similar attributes that have served me in my own relationships.

Adolph Hitler convinced millions of German’s to support him with this slogan ” MAKE GERMANY GREAT AGAIN.

In 2016 a friend said to me ” I voted for Donald Trump because I wanted to drain the swamp” and my response was ” I too want to drain the swamp, the problem is, Donald Trump is the swamp.”

Trump’s last four years of chaos should not be the normal for how we Americans treat one another because we are different, but an example of how not to treat people who we disagree with or are from different ethnic backgrounds. After all, we are all immigrants; violence never solved anything, and inciting violence toward others, is just common thuggery and as unamerican as fireworks.

My hope is that America will survive Donald Trump’s Adolph Hitler like tactics. I love America more than any other country on this planet. It’s my home, and I treasure the Constitution as the greatest gift Thomas Jefferson brought back with him from Europe. Erode it, or allow anyone to trample on it, America will be abolished.

My activism belongs to no political party. Our founders implemented the First Amendment to the US Constitutional with one purpose ” Citizens are the checks and balances in forcing change where change is so desperately needed, not any one government official or office.”

The greatest threat to Washingtonians right to be left alone in their private affairs, Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson

Stupid is as stupid does; Bob Ferguson was re-elected to the third term as Washington State’s Attorney General. Sadly, the public only reads headline news, and those articles posted by Bob Ferguson’s friends at the Seattle Times.

This article is written after eight years of sifting through public records documenting that that Attorney General Bob Ferguson has misappropriated hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars here in Washington to retaliate against those he disagrees, by gifting of taxpayer monies.

The State Attorney General directs, operates, and controls the private Bar Association, attorneys under contract with the State called “Special Assistant Attorney Generals (SAAGs),” “Special Assistant Prosecutors,” prosecutors, judges, the Washington State Auditor’s Office, and the State Commission on Judicial Conduct.

PERS is for government employees only, but Washington State has been illegally funneling money to the private Bar. The Washington State Bar Association employees are also allowed to collect under Washington State’s Public Retirement System (PERS).

The AG acts at the direction of the State’s insurer, the Association of Washington Cities (AWC). AWC, in turn, is essentially an operating unit of Lloyd’s of London, according to court records.

Bob Ferguson, a product of the Catholic Church

Bob Ferguson likes to brag that he is a Washingtonian and doesn’t like to lose like life is a Nintendo game. He was born in Seattle in 1965 and a fourth-generation Washingtonian. After graduating from Bishop Blanchet High School in 1983, he attended and graduated form the University of Washington. After college, Ferguson joined Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest and directed an emergency services office for a year.

The Jesuits are a deeply troubled religious group, dominated and controlled solely by men, most white, involved in pedophilia scandals all over the World.

In 2001, Martin Baron, a Jewish Editor for the Boston Globe’s “Spotlight” investigative team, read an article about the Catholic Church covering up sex abuse committed by a single Catholic Priest. But soon discovered it was much bigger than just one pedophile priest.

From 2001 to 2002, the Spotlight team soon realized it wasn’t just one priest being moved from one parish to another to cover up sexual exploitation of our children, it was happening all over the United States. After interviewing several witnesses, they began to uncover a pattern of sexual abuse by other priests in Massachusetts, and an ongoing cover-up by the Boston Archdiocese.

Soon after ” Spotlight” published its first of many articles, lawsuits against Catholic Diocese and Jesuits erupted all over the World. During this time, Bob Ferguson was a leader inside the Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest.

The Jesuits settled in 2007 against accusations of sexual abuse in Alaska, Washington. Four years after this the first set of settlements, the Northwest Jesuits had to pay over $166 million to around 500 sex abuse victims that were in both in the Northwest, Arizona, and Alaska.

Most of the sexual abuse allegations against the Jesuits were made by Native Americans for rape, sodomy, and molestation committed by the Jesuits Volunteer Corps Northwest. Bob Ferguson was a member.

Even more troubling, Ferguson received a grant to provide legal assistance to the Yaqui tribe in Guadalupe, Arizona. As a paid Jesuit, Ferguson lived in Guadalupe for a time, assisting community members on a wide range of legal matters.

According to one tribal children abused by the Jesuits, ” Ferguson would tell us, don’t bother with suing the Catholic Diocese they have too much power and money. I finally found a lawyer but always felt like Bob Ferguson had an undisclosed motive to convince me not to.”

Bob Ferguson was a member of the King County Council from 2003-2012. During this time, King County Prosecutor, Dan Satterburg, at the bequest and legal direction of Bob Ferguson decided not to prosecute priests who sexually abused our children.

In 2007, a reporter for The Stranger, Josh Feit, reported that Dan Satterburg refused to investigate a single child sex abuse and cover-up case at the local Seattle Catholic Archdiocese, while at the same time, Dan Satterburg advised the Catholic Archdiocese on how to respond to reports of abuse.

Attorney Timothy Kosnoff represented victims of priests stated that he has seen, during legal discovery, significant evidence in sealed Archdiocese files about child abuse and cover-ups. When he asked the Prosecutor’s office to authorize an inquiry to open the sealed files, Dan Satterberg, with the legal assistance of Bob Ferguson, replied that he didn’t have sufficient evidence to proceed.

Attorney Kosnoff said “No shit, Dan, you haven’t found any evidence because you haven’t issued a subpoena.” Kosnoff further complained that “clerics were able to skate through with settlements paid for by parishioners without ever being required to account for sodomizing children. King County should have been doing its job, and I hold Dan Satterberg responsible.” Kosnoff said Satterberg was suffering from “sacred cow syndrome.”

The side show is that Dan Satterberg was also serving as an advisor to the Archdiocese on dealing with new reports of abuse. Our source states ” Bob Ferguson and Dan Satterburg were given legal advice to the Catholic Diocese, instead of protecting Washingtonians from pedophiles hiding behind the walls of religion.

For these reasons, Bob Ferguson has been on our radar for public corruption for years. ” Those who protect pedophiles are pedophiles themselves.” Whether or not Bob Ferguson sodomized, raped and/or molested children is still too soon to know, but allegations have been lodged by two victims. There is more to come on this story.

The Washington State Bar Association, a license to steal and commit crimes with the assistance of Washington State Attorney General’s Office

While Bob Ferguson was employed by Preston Ellis & Gates, he hired Jack Abramoff. Jack Abramoff was hired as Republican lobbyist to gain political favors with the George W. Bush administration. Friends of Abramoff included like former House of Representative Republican leader Tom Delay.

Without no surprise, Tom Delay was arrested and convicted of money laundering, bribery, and racketeering and Jack Abramoff was convicted racketeering.

” Birds of the same feathers flock together as do pigs and swine…”Rapists, child molesters, ties to organized crime, and persons guilty of racketeering are people Bob Ferguson not only befriended but also defended as a lawyer.

Bob Ferguson’s Money Laundering Scam; The Washington State Assistant Attorney General Program, illegally funneling public money to the City of Gold Bar to cover up racketeering of its public officials

In 2009, the Gold Bar Reporter hired a open government attorney to file suit against the City of Gold Bar for access to public records. The records sought were for all records that relate to a water employee, Karl Majerle. Mr. Majerle was fired after he sabotaged the City of Gold Bar’s water system, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage, and had committed an act of Domestic Terrorism against the public safety and health of residents.

Instead of then Mayor Crystal Hill Pennington reporting Majerle’s acts of Domestic Terrorism to Homeland Security and the FBI, Ms. Hill Pennington made a phone call to Director of Emergency Management for Snohomish County, John Edward Pennington Jr asking for a political favor i.e. help me thwart the criminal charges against Majerle. Crystal Hill Pennington had been engaged in an extra-marital affair with five county employees and one judge between 2006 to 2009.

John Edward Pennington Jr. picked up the phone and asked Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe and Sean Reay for a political favor, i.e. help Mayor Crystal Hill Pennington quash criminal charges against Majerle for sabotaging the City of Gold Bar’s water system.

In 2008, the Gold Bar Reporter had no idea that Mayor Crystal Hill Pennington was being extorted by Majerle for falsifying her Washington State election filings, falsely claiming that she was a City Manager for Gold Bar, and she never used any other name. Crystal Hill Pennington was never the City Manager for Gold Bar, she was an elected official who lied to voters about her past criminal history , a twice convicted bank frauder with a short jail sentence using the name Crystal Berg, and in 2007,she lied telling residents she was in law school. She is not and was not in an accredited J.D. program.

Mayor Crystal Hill Pennington has been repeatedly denied entrance into an accredited law school program for lying on her law school applications, a low aptitude score on her LSAT exams, lying about her past criminal history, and lying about her work and academic credentials.

King County, Washington, confirmed that Crystal Hill Pennington has been terminated for filing fraudulent application to obtain employment in the summer of 2020 for lying on her job application about her work and academic credentials.

Instead of reporting the acts of Domestic Terrorism Majerle committed against Gold Bar, the Gold Bar City Council, which included another convicted felon, Joe Beavers, and a Washington State Department of Corrections employee, Lonn Turner, decided to help Crystal Hill and Majerle cover up the sabotaging of the City’s water system.

Why was best explained by former Gold Bar council member Jay Prueher “Crystal was stealing from the City” and another Gold Bar council members said ” Crystal disseminated her sexually transmitted disease results into Gold Bar’s email communication.” Why Snohomish County Prosecutors Mark Roe and Sean Reay decided to help can only be explained as ” public corruption” or political courtesy.

Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe is a sexual deviant and the County has paid out millions to settle suits because of his criminal racketeering conduct. The Washington State Bar Association also revoked his license to practice law.

For years, Crystal Hill Pennington and John Edward Pennington ran an anonymous website titled the ” Sky Valley Chronicle.” On this website, not one person signed their names, and had it not been for public records retrieved from Snohomish County Prosecutors Office, we may have never known that John Edward Pennington Jr. ran that website right from Department of Emergency Management’s office in Snohomish County.

In email communication retrieved from the Gold Bar city clerk, Denise Beaston, Mayor Joe Beavers would frequently log in from Gold Bar’s City computers and post hit pieces on attorney Anne Block with ever signing his him. Basically, Joe Beavers, Crystal Hill Pennington and John E Pennington were cyber stalking Anne Block misusing county and city resources and taxpayer money to further their criminal racketeering Enterprise.

In fact, the county taxpayers paid the Sky Valley Chronicle for advertisements. Money that went from the county taxpayers to John Edward Pennington and Crystal Hill Pennington’s Sky Valley Chronicle, for the sole purpose of running hit pieces on anyone the Prosecutors office or the City of Gold Bar wanted defamatory articles published. Since not one person signed their names, and 90 % of what was published was false, its racketeering.

When the Gold Bar Reporter sued the Penningtons and the Sky Valley Chronicle for defamation and cyber-stalking, the Penningtons finally removed the Sky Valley Chronicle. Then, Snohomish County Prosecutors Mark Roe, Joseph Genster, Miko Tempski ( an attorney with ties to the Russian mob) and Sean Reay, illegally used taxpayer monies to provide a legal defense to the Sky Valley Chronicle against the Gold Bar Reporter in Block v WSBA Sky Valley Chronicle, Ron Fejfar, John Pennington, Joe Beavers and Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg convicted of bank fraud. The law firm they used to assist in their criminal racketeering crimes was Deno Millikan, also known as Special Assistant Prosecutors for Snohomish County government. https://www.denomillikan.com/ Deno Millikan is also the law firm that threatened to sue the City of Gold Bar after the City council fired Karl Majerle for sabotaging the City of Gold Bar’s water system.

In one email Mr Pennington wrote to the Gold Bar Reporter and said ” Don’t expect any help from the Snohomish County Sheriff Office, the FBI or Homeland Security. They know what I did and no one cares. hahahaha….”

What should be noted from the above email is that Mr. Pennington is autistic and often misuses ellipse. Besides the IP address for email lead us right back to the County, Mr Pennington misuse of ellipses, made it very clear to our expert witness that he was sending emails bragging about how massive corruption in Washington State.

After John Edward Pennngton caused the deaths of 43 people in the Oso mudslides, Governor Inslee requested that everyone who participated give a statement about how they could have done things differently. In John E Pennington’s letter to the Governor about his failures in the Oso mudslides response, he wrote ” I learned a lot…” Once again, Mr. Pennington misused an ellipse.

John E Pennington Jr.s’ criminal and government gang stalking of Anne Block, right from Snohomish County Offices, lead us to exposing Bob Ferguson’s involvement in a massive Snohomish County criminal harassment network ran with the assistance of Snohomish County Prosecutors.

“Anne Block has exposed the largest criminal system involving public officials in the history of Washington State,” said federal appellate attorney John Scannell. “The entire Washington State and national federal RICO [racketeering] enterprise has been revealed as a result of Anne’s investigation of John Edward Pennington Jr.’s crimes.

Ms. Block’s investigation of Mr. Pennington has in fact yielded a trail of federal crimes across the nation. Mr. Pennington’s crimes include serial rape, several domestic violence charges, forgery, fraud, serial child molestation and negligent homicide resulting in 43 deaths – all of which Ms. Block has meticulously documented. Regardless of the evidence presented to public officials and in the court record, Mr. Pennington has not been convicted of a single crime.

Among the carnage spanning decades, Ms. Block discovered that Mr. Pennington is the prime suspect in the kidnapping, rape, and attempted murder of a five-year old girl in Cowlitz County, Washington. According to the Alaska State Police, Mr. Pennington is also a “person of interest” in a recent disappearances of young women in the State of Alaska have also coincided with Mr. Pennington’s presence there; and a person of interest in the disappearance of others in four other states where public gas receipts show he had close temporal proximity to missing persons.

Mr. Pennington’s domestic violence incidents include the brutal beating of an ex-wife while in her third trimester of pregnancy. A King County court-ordered psychiatric evaluation of Mr. Pennington by Dr. Marsha Hedricks concluded that he is “a sociopath with no empathy for human life whatsoever.” Dr. Hedrick’s report made clear that Mr. Pennington is completely incapable of recognizing the value of any living being.

Mr. Pennington’s frauds include providing false credentials to secure several former positions: as Regional Director of FEMA; as Director of Emergency Management for Snohomish County, Washington;  for his current teaching job with Pierce College, Washington; and recently his attempt to gain admission to a Ph.D. program in Alaska, which Ms. Block ended by providing documentation of Mr. Pennington’s falsified background to University of Alaska, Fairbanks.

In 2013, Executive Aaron Reardon was forced to resign in disgraced after he was caught illegally funneling public money to harass his political foes.

Regardless of Mr. Pennington’s long history of criminal activity and being “…completely incapable of recognizing the value of human life,” as stated in the referenced psychiatric assessment by Dr. Marsha Hedricks, the serial criminal’s rise to power began when he found an uncontested legislative seat in rural Washington State. Running unopposed, he put his name on the ballot and was elected to the legislature.

After he was elected, Mr. Pennington quickly ingratiated himself with the State’s influential and powerful. Perhaps most notable among his legislative peers and colleagues at the time was Washington State’s current Attorney General Bob Ferguson, in addition to current Snohomish County Commissioner G. Geoffrey Gibbs, and State Court of Appeals Judge Marlin Appelwick.

Mr. Pennington’s position in state legislature, however, soon ended after being caught misrepresenting his residence. After Mr. Pennington abandoned his seat in the legislature, he again leveraged his former legislative position into an appointment as the Regional Director of FEMA – with false credentialsno experience, and no background check. His position with FEMA was equally brief.

Mr. Pennington was soon fired by FEMA for his personal use of federal government credit cards. Once again, however, Mr. Pennington used his former positions as State Legislator and subsequent FEMA Directorship to gain employment as Snohomish County, Washington’s Director of Emergency Management. County officials failed to check Mr. Pennington’s credentials, experience, and background.

The negligent hiring of Mr. Pennington by Snohomish County Officials would come with an historically high price. While acting as Director of Emergency Management, Mr. Pennington had repeatedly been advised by several experts that the Oso, Washington area of Snohomish County, Washington should be evacuated. The federal government had provided funding to Snohomish County for the purchase of properties at risk. All Mr. Pennington had to do was write the checks. He failed.

With his falsified credentials, and illegally distracted with personal business interests, Mr. Pennington failed to act. His failure to act resulted in the greatest loss of life from a landslide in U.S. history. As Mr. Pennington had been advised would occur, on March 22, 2014, a massive section of Oso, Washington collapsed into the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River43 people were killed, with hundreds of other injuries to people and their animals, in addition to the loss of 49 homes.

Mr. Pennington was nowhere to be found. He was finally contacted on the East Coast, where he was discovered to be illegally operating his privately-owned emergency management services company. As people were dying, Mr. Pennington refused to return to Washington State. Wanting the spotlight, he prohibited rescue operations from beginning. Three days later he returned.

“Having John Pennington, ‘a sociopath with no empathy for human life,’ according to the court’s mental health expert Dr. Marsha Hedricks, in charge of Emergency Management for Snohomish County was like putting the Green River Killer in charge of a domestic violence shelter,” said Ms. Block of the Gold Bar Reporter. “But isn’t the larger question for all of us ‘how is John Pennington getting away with countless federal and state crimes?’”

Although the records request was withheld for over 13 years, however, it was subject to the State’s public records act. A practicing attorney at the time, Ms. Block persisted. As the denials continued, inspired by a national talk show host, she published accounts of her efforts on her news publication, the Gold Bar Reporter. The articles were directly followed by a series of retaliatory acts from what appeared to be the City of Gold Bar and its’ attorneys.

It wasn’t. Behind the City of Gold Bar was the State’s insurer, the Association of Washington Cities (AWC); the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services Risk Management Division (DES); the Washington State Bar, a network of attorneys and law firms called Special Assistant Attorney Generals (“SAAGS”); Special Assistant Prosecutors (“SAPs”), and judges acting directly or indirectly at the behest of Washington State’s highest legal authority, Attorney General Bob Ferguson.

Under Attorney General Bob Ferguson, the order was given to Doug Ende, at the Washington State Bar, to disbar Ms. Block for reporting the truth on public corruption.

“The way the State Attorney General (AG) has control of every citizen in Washington State as well as the state political system is simple: money,” said former chess champion and appellate attorney John Scannell. “The AG uses both state and federal money to control county prosecutors and judges, federal judges, the State Bar, AWC and a network of hundreds of private attorneys and law firms under contract with the AG called SAPs and SAAGs.”

“Public records requests over several years have uncovered how the AG makes illegal payouts to control the state. Contrary to State law, the AG has County Prosecutors and federal judges on both the State payroll and retirement systems. Although County Prosecutors are prohibited by law from holding outside employment, the AG hires private attorneys as ‘Special Assistant AGs,’ or SAAGs. It’s a direct conflict of interest,” said Mr. Scannell.

Late this week, we received the first of many Washington-state-special-attorney-general-list who Bob Ferguson has unlawfully granted special powers to, including hundreds of private law firms and attorneys, and strangely many government agencies such as Snohomish, Spokane and Yakima County Prosecutors Office are also listed as “Special Assistant Attorney Generals” in spite of Washington State law that prohibits Prosecutors from holding any other job than that of a county prosecutor.

Ferguson even listed New York Law School on his Washington-state-special-attorney-general-list

Public records from the private Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) also documents that Bob Ferguson ( AG) is also illegally operating every aspect of the Washington State Bar Association, and even illegally funneling public money to defend legal suits brought against the WSBA.

” If the Washington State Attorney Generals Office were providing a legal defense to the National Rifle Association, the public would be outraged. So why is it ok to divert public money to a private Bar? Simply put, it’s not.”

The amount of money Attorney General Bob Ferguson has misappropriated through the SAAG money laundering scam, in excess of $420 million and tolling.

” By pooling the prosecutors, the public defenders, the judges, the special assistant attorney generals, the cities, the schools, the fire districts, the judges, and private law firms, the state’s insurer, Lloyds of London, ensures that it doesn’t have to pay claims for unlawful and often criminal conduct of its government officers.

Bob Ferguson is running a felonious monopoly to ensure now one wins unless you have ties to the Washington State Attorney General’s Office like Jack Connelly, Shannon Ragonesi, Amanda Butler, Mike Kenyon, Jeffrey Myers, and even Snohomish County Judges Janice Ellis, George Appeal, Edirn Okoloko, Cindy Larson, Millie Judge, and David Kurtz, were also Special Assistant Attorney Generals while employed at the Snohomish County Prosecutors Office.

Attorneys, including public defenders like Phil Sayles, and Jason Schwartz, who agree to throw their clients under the bus, settle cases for pennies on the dollar, or in criminal cases, simply throw the case in favor of money contracts with the AG and the County. This ensures that they make hundreds of millions for little work performed and an unethical and often malicious conduct of public prosecutors or public defenders are never disciplined.

The Attorney General is also illegally running and operating the Washington Judicial Ethics Commission, Association of Washington Cities/Counties, and the private Washington State Bar Association. This ensures that the AG set up a pre-fixed monopoly game where the state decides who wins or loses.

Here in Snohomish County, the Prosecutors Office is tampering with the jury list, to ensure people prosecutors know will analyze and scrutinize the evidence are removed from the potential jury list.

Special Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey S Myers slipped the lipped when he said ” They will not let Anne Block win.” We now know who ” they” are is the Washington State Attorney General’s Office, supervised and operated by Bob Ferguson. The Attorney General is committing gross Anti-Trust violations against citizens as “risk management” and fixing judicial proceedings against anyone who dares to expose the AG’s money laundering scam.

If the Washington State Attorney General’s Office was funneling money to and running the private National Rifle Association, the public would be outraged. So why should funneling public money to the private Washington Bar Association be legal or ok?

Snohomish County Special Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, and Special Assistant Attorney General, Joseph Genster, even has a direct telephone line to US Federal District Court Judge Ricardo Martinez in this case fixing scam. Why work on pleadings when you can simply fix a case by having exparte communication ( or as is the case with Western WA Federal Court_ with the judge directly.
