Corruption inside WSBA – GOLD BAR REPORTER

Snohomish County, Washington, working hard to violate the rights of the accused

May 24, 2018 by goldbarreporter 1 Comment

First, my readers should know that this article is not intended to provide evidence for or against the guilt of the accused. It’s meant to shed a little sunlight on a major injustice that is happening inside many counties throughout the United States.

In my past articles it’s safe to assume that America is bleeding, bleeding in favor of money over doing what’s right and just. We no longer have news reporters, we have embedded journalists who are more worried about being wined and dined by government officers, and spoon fed stories instead of investigating and researching truths.

As the direct result Prosecutors and Defense attorneys are making side deals, agreeing to throw cases, and violating the rights of the accused “for profit.” Such is the case with the Snohomish County Public Defender Association, and many attorneys who have entered into contracts with Snohomish County Prosecutors’.

Our story https://goldbarreporter.org/tag/snohomish-county-attorney-jason-schwarz/

outlines a corrupt defense attorney not only failing to effectively represent his clients, but accepting financial incentives not to. Sadly, attorney Jason Schwartz, although lazy, is not the exception to assisting Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office in fixing cases to ensure convictions. All in exchange for defense contracts, $$$.

Attorney Phil Sayles may not be the exception, but he is now on our official target list of corrupt attorneys who are throwing their clients under the bus ” for profit.”

Phil Sayles, defense attorney in Washington State v John Reed

Last week, another activist brought to our attention another little scam involving an incompetent defense attorney here in Snohomish County named Phil Sayles. Sadly, we know Phil Sayles, personally, as we went to the same law school together and at a time in need, we helped him get started here in Snohomish County. Something both my partner and I regret as it was clear from just speaking with Mr. Sayles that his interest was not doing the right thing, or helping those accused of a crime, it was making money.

In 2005 I met with Phil Sayles after learning from another law school graduate that he was also taking the Bar prep class at the Seattle University. Anyone that has ever experienced the grueling experience of three years of law school knows how hard it is to pass.

During my first year of law school our criminal law professor Dr. Koeing said “look to your left and look to your right, after this semester half of you will not be here because you did not receive a C or better.” Over the next year, I came to know Dr. Koeing personally and professionally as one of those law school professors who felt it wasn’t only a job to represent those accused of crimes, it was a duty to do so with diligence, competency, and honesty.

I’ll never forget my first year criminal law class when Dr. Koeing called on a student, John, who appeared to be sleeping in her class. A class of 155 students. Dr. Koeing first said ” are you sleeping?” John said ” no” and her next response was asking him to recite the cases assigned for today. For over 90 minutes Dr. Koeing kept John on his feet, Socratic method of drilling him on one basic criminal defense issue, an issue that had John read his case assignments for the class, he would have been able to grip and elaborate on the issue, rule, make an analysis and then conclude. But he didn’t because fact was John was asleep and he was mentally lazy; his parents wanted him to be a lawyer because his dad was a lawyer.

Immediately following Dr. Koeing’s drilling of John, she called my name and asked me to stand and recite the cases. In five minutes, I recited the cases, gave her issues, rules, and then analyzed why it was important in the context of criminal defense. After five minutes, she said ” please come see me after class.” I remember thinking ” oh shit, what did I do to not stay under the radar.”

After class Dr. Koeing asked me to walk with her back to her office. At her office she handed me a copy of Women’s Human Rights Encyclopedias, and said ” have you read or had an interest in human rights?” I said ” of course, I’m a single mother, who worked full time while at the same time attending university classes. I’m a feminist, who believes in equal rights for all and that includes women and men alike. I know what hardship is all about as I worked in a male dominated field almost all of my life.”

Dr. Koeing said “when you become a lawyer, think long and hard before doing the wrong thing because it’s very easy to think about money over doing the right thing. Promise me that you will never forget John Adams said to always stand on principle…even if you stand alone.” A promise I never folded on, and even when faced with countless racketeering offenses committed against me, I always stand on principle, even if I stand alone. Prosperity has followed me as a result, and I never folded to accomplish living a successful and prosperous life.

In the summer of 2006 Phil Sayles finally passed the Washington State Bar exam, after four failed attempts. His first case was down in Burien for a traffic ticket. I saw Phil just before leaving the house for his very first appearance and wished him well. Later that day I saw Phil and asked him how it went and he told me that Judge made an ass out of him because he didn’t know he needed to file motions in writing. [ in some states motions can be verbally filed but not in Washington].

I gave Phil a few pointers suggesting that he do what I did and go to the University of Washington law library or the free King County law library as there’s a lot of good books on motions and how to defend persons inside Courts of Limited Jurisdictions. Sayles response to me was ” that’s not not how it works in criminal courts. ” I urged him to learn the court rules and what motions should be filed otherwise he’d get nailed and sued for legal malpractice.

Phil Sayles response was ” it doesn’t work like that in criminal court… don’t bog me down with your motion bullshit.” My response to Phil was “just think of how hard research and writing was to get through in law school. Remember those research and writing papers due three times a week, journals, etc. ?”

Phil Sayles then confided in me and my partner that he paid someone to write his research and writing papers in law school, and when I looked shocked and appalled, he said ” everyone did it!” I said ” I did not. I consider that cheating and dishonest!”

A few days later I sparked a conversation asking Phil Sayles why he went to law school, and his response was ” I wanted to be a rock star” for which my response was ” perhaps you should have picked a up a guitar, but law is about helping people who are almost always defenseless against the government. ”

After this conversation, I never spoke to Phil Sayles again, as I seldom talk to people I have zero respect for.

So it’s no surprise that after reading over 5 million public records (emails often), I discovered that somehow attorney Phil Sayles managed to obtain criminal defense referrals from our good friends inside Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office.

Last week, another activist brought to my attention the case of Washington State v John Reed.

Brady v Maryland, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brady_v._Maryland

Basic first year law school stuff

Last week another activist reporter discovered that a known Snohomish County Brady Cop named David Fontenot was the lead detective in Washington State v John Reed. She was concerned that attorney Phil Sayles and/or Snohomish County Prosecutors did not disclose this information to the accused John Reed.

Our Courts held that all Brady Material must be disclosed not only to defense counsel but also to the accused. As I stated above, Snohomish County Sheriff’s Officer David Fontnote is a “Brady Cop.” That is, he is listed on the Snohomish County Brady List. “Brady” is in reference to a famous case known as Brady v. Maryland.

For those of our readers who are not legal beagles, police officers who land on the Brady List are known to be dishonest, as in this case, Snohomish County Sheriff’s Officer David Fontenot is one such criminal with a badge.

Now for those of you who feel John Reed is guilty, I’d like you to know that Mr. Reed is American and here in America ” defendants are not guilty until proven guilty… and entitled to effective assistance of counsel.”

Sadly attorney Phil Sayles’s interests are not with his client, John Reed. Email communication and video footage show document that Phil Sayles is working jointly with the Snohomish County Prosecutors’ in this case to throw his client under the bus, has engaged in what several of us consider to “witness tampering” staging testimony of the state’s primary witness which conflicts with his duty to diligently and competently represent his client John Reed.

In the summer of 2017, an activist learned that attorney Phil Sayles’s name was being passed around Snohomish County jails by Snohomish County guards ( at the bequest no doubt of the Prosecutor’s Office who are using defense attorneys like attorneys Phil Sayles and Jason Schwarz to fix cases in favor of awarding contracts for criminal defense).

The activist became worried that Sayles wasn’t told or aware that Snohomish County Sheriff Officer David Fontenot was sued, fired for theft, falsifying search warrants, guilty of falsely arresting his wife’s soon to be ex, and had in fact been labeled a Brady Cop and postured for criminal prosecution for violating the civil rights of the accused ( Fontenot tasered a handcuffed man in the backseat of police car and fired and recommended for criminal prosecution from Challam County a result).

The above information was provided to Mark Roe by Challam County and the City of Snohomish in 2008. Instead of Snohomish County Prosecutors Mark Roe informing the public, Mark Roe hide until Lori Shavlik, another one of Adam Cornell and Mark Roe’s victims, discovered David Fontenot’s Brady material from a former employer who fired him for cause.

Lori Shavlik turned over Snohomish County David Fontenot’s Brady Cop material to attorney Phil Sayles during the summer of 2017, long before he was retained to defend John Reed.

Instead of Snohomish County Sheriff Officer David Fontenot being behind bars where he belongs, Snohomish County Prosecutors Mark Roe and Adam Cornell hide the Brady Copy information from the public another defendant named Lori Shavlik found it buried in his employee files.

In 2014, after years of hiding from public disclosure that Snohomish County Sheriff Officer David Fontenot is a known Brady Cop.

The Gold Bar Reporter was first to report on Mark Roe’s crimes against Lori Shavlik, and thankfully a jury was able to see through Mark Roe, Adam Cornell and David Fontenot’s fabrication of evidence and she was acquitted of all charges.

On Saturday May 14th Lori Shavlik went to see John Reed at Snohomish County jail, to share with him that she gave attorney Phil Sayles the Brady files she had collected on Sheriff Officer David Fontenot.

John Reed told Shavlik that attorney Phil Sayles did not disclose information that David Fontenot was a Brady cop. See David Fontneot files were not only hand delivered to attorney Phil Sayles by Lori Shavlik but I also gave Phil Sayles copies of the above David Fontenot files three months ago.

If that wasn’t bad enough, last week another activist videotaped under GR 16 attorney Phil Sayles and Snohomish County Prosecutors Andrew Alsdorf tampering with a witness ( outside the judge and jury) couching him on what questions not only the prosecution would ask him, but also what questions Phil Sayles would ask.

Attorney Phil Sayles had no business working with the Prosecutors, outside the jury and judge, explaining to the Prosecutors on what questions and exhibits he would ask the State’s chief witness. Captured on camera while the jury and the judge were not present, Defense counsel Phil Sayles and Prosecutors are tampering with the witness testimony.

The Gold Bar Reporter uploaded a copy of a copy of the video inside the public courtroom capturing exparte communication between Phil Sayles and the Prosecutors staging what the witness would see and testify to.

King County Washington, maliciously prosecuting hundreds of innocent citizens

May 27, 2016 by goldbarreporter 3 Comments

Those of you who know me know that I value the First Amendment as the greatest gift Thomas Jefferson brought back with him from Europe – more valuable than a Bar license. Once we lose sight of the only difference between the rest of the World and America-free speech – we are no better.

From my past articles, my readers can assume that I blame the Washington State Bar Association (WSBA), because instead of regulating unethical lawyers who steal money from their clients, as evidenced by convicted frauder and attorneys Geoffrey Gibbs, Lin O’Dell (who was actually caught accepting bribes from former Snohomish County political appointee John Pennington and his convicted bank frauding wife Crystal Hill Berg Pennington – convicted of bank fraud in 2005 using an alias of Berg) Linda Eide (who destroyed evidence in my case, Allan Hall and Bob Grundstein’s cases), the WSBA is nothing more than a racketeering association making criminals out of non-criminals and us reporters must do everything in our power to expose the cockroaches where they hide. Unfortunately for the taxpayers, they hid all too often inside government agencies.

About six months ago, I met a few like-minded open government supporters who have been investigating what I refer to as the “King County animal abuse scam.”

This story took me over six months of sifting through mounds of public emails before I felt comfortable enough to publish it. King County has refused comment as did Brady cop Jenee Westberg (former King County animal control officer fired for fraud).

If Washington State is ever to become a place where companies and honest people want to live, both King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg and Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe must go.

King County elected prosecutor Dan Satterberg – What IS he doing?

Why is Dan Satterberg prosecuting innocent people for animal abuse then failing to prosecute those having sex with animals?

Neither King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg nor Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe have prosecuted one single case of having sex with animals.

Marketing face of movie “ZOO WE AREN’T WHO WE APPEAR TO BE”

Marketing face of movie “ZOO – WE AREN’T WHO WE APPEAR TO BE”

Yes that question is basically shocking isn’t it? Did anyone even know Washington State has serious problem with people having sex with animals?

It is not something new in our human society. Certainly distasteful to many, enough so, that the man who died having sex with a horse at a well-known animal sex brothel in Enumclaw in July of 2005, spurned a very quick independent legislative action to further the unanimous legislation Satterberg and Susan Michaels (Pasado’s Safe Haven) worked so hard to get into law the year before. So the Satterberg and Michael 2005 animal cruelty law morphed into the 2006 anti- bestiality legislation real quick.

With the inception of his 2005 lobbying, Dan Satterberg and his animal rights extremist friends at Pasado’s Safe Haven, Susan Michaels (and company), had just spent 11 years together, as a team, getting animal cruelty into a prosecutable class C felony under a legal term called “criminal negligence.”

Satterberg did all this as Norm Maleng’s chief of staff, (a government attorney) two years before Norm Maleng died suddenly of a heart attack while in his seventh term of office in May of 2007.

Satterberg would then assume Maleng’s position of elected prosecutor through appointment by the King County Council until there could be a special election in November of 2007. He subsequently was elected to the remaining three years of Maleng’s term. He then ran for the position in 2010 and won.

Dan Satterberg now, as the elected prosecutor for King County, could easily be in one of the most powerful positions in the State of Washington if not the highest position among municipal mountains in the nation. He certainly has the power to decide the fate of virtually any warm body in King County.

With a cache of some 210 attorneys protecting the ass-ets of King County and running a $7.2 billion dollar taxpayer funded judicial system representing over 72% of the county budget; it has to be tempting to not let it all go to your head… or to your tail… depending on what one might glean from the research exposed here.

The bigger question arises then – at what point would one consider actually employing a prosecutor’s special duties to protect the public from criminals – and – when does it begin to blur when protecting the criminal? This then becomes a constitutional issue. And let’s not forget the question of who is the real criminal – the prosecutor or the defendant they accuse?

This is a troubling conundrum playing out all over our nation.

In King County it appears to play out with Mr. Satterberg making the claim that he played an active role in lobbying for stiffer laws to protect animals from abuse making animal cruelty for “any person with criminal neglect who starves and dehydrates an animal a class C felony. (He rarely mentions the “with criminal neglect” part in the same sentence though the law is written that way).

What is “with criminal neglect” anyway? It is a legal term. It is a standardized legal term – but – in Washington State it is defined by RCW 9A.08.010 with a few additional embellishments (underlined). http://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9A.08.010:

RCW 9A.08.010(1)( d):

“CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE. A person is criminally negligent or acts with criminal negligence when he or she fails to be aware of a substantial risk that a wrongful act may occur and his or her failure to be aware of such substantial risk constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would exercise in the same situation.”

This RCW is just legal blasphemy. It is also a 1975 constitutional violation written right into the legislation of the State of Washington.

There is a legal adage, “You don’t know what you don’t know.” No one person can know what they don’t know. It is a fact of life. Every human on the planet is plagued by this.

It is appalling it has not been corrected by now. It is further appalling that an elected official, an attorney no-less, who is tasked with protecting the public, surely knowing the standardized legal adage above, would employ it.

But then how would prosecutors have a reason for their existence if they were not able to make criminals out of ordinary honest taxpaying citizens who don’t know what they don’t know?

While Mr. Satterberg was Chief of Staff for former seven (7)-term prosecutor Norm Maleng, on March 10, 2005, Satterberg testified to the Washington State Senate Law and Justice committee to make starvation and dehydration with criminal neglect a class C felony. Now the constitutional violation is built right into another law (once removed – definition is in another law).

Maleng died suddenly two years later and Satterberg took the throne.

According to press at the time, http://www.seattlepi.com/local/article/Legislation-makes-animal-neglect-a-felony-1171992.php Satterberg actively joined forces with the infamous Pasado’s Safe Haven director Susan Michaels (and her self-appointed “Snohomish County Humane Investigator” husband Mark Steinway). Pasado’s is a well-known animal rights extremist backed group located in Monroe, WA. Their team together successfully lobbied to get this legislation into law. http://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2005-06/Pdf/Bill%20Reports/Senate/5352.SBR.pdf

In 2005 Pasado’s had not yet been charged for misuse of donated monies fraud in 2010 by the Attorney General but they were certainly involved at the time in implementing the fraud they eventually got caught for.

This isn’t the first time Susan Michaels, Pasado’s and Dan Satterberg worked together. The former version of the animal cruelty law was lobbied by the two of them in 1994 making their relationship definably long-term. (Note – Pasado’s are desperately trying to re-color their tarnished history currently. But corrupt is what corrupt does – one can never overcome acts of dishonesty).

Here is the detail according to public records:

The record shows when Satterberg was some 28 years old (and a fresh deputy prosecutor) he lobbied as representative of the King County Prosecutor’s office with (the future to-be-caught fraud artist from Pasado’s) Susan Michaels at his side in 1994 on house bill 1652.

This was the bill that was labeled Pasado’s Law as a result of the donkey named Pasado who was brutally beaten to death in 1992.

This is also when the “criminal negligence” language first got traction at Satterberg’s hand. There was no outcry at the time because animal abuse cases were few under Norm Maleng (3 – 4 a year). No one noticed.

The “Satterberg” bill of 1994 was then enhanced in 2005 while Susan Michaels was misrepresenting Pasado’s money purposes that they would later be charged for by the AG in 2010.

The bill was testified to by Satterberg (he had been promoted to chief of staff by then), Susan Michaels, her husband Mark Steinway (Pasado’s) and other animal rights extremists who have succinct conflicts of interest to the bill. It was then neatly passed unanimously into RCW 16.52.205 and put into law in May of 2005.

In Satterberg’s March 10, 2005 testimony – standing with him was:

Dana Bridges a veterinarian known since to capitalize her services on animal abuse cases,
Matthew Rusnak, WA Federation of Animal Control Officers a group whose existence depends on animal prosecutions,
Glen Bui, American Canine Foundation (formerly Washington Animal Foundation) another lobbyist specifically formed to stop canine abuse.

Satterberg had really stepped it up. The 2005, legislative reports note it was all about the “with criminal negligent starvation and dehydration” clause while also making that a class C felony.

March 10, 2005, Satterberg and his animal rights friends at Pasado’s testified in front of the Senate Law and Justice Committee that starvation and dehydration with criminal negligence should be in the legislation and therefore it should be made a class C felony so that “prosecutors and police can give it more attention.”

The legislative record states they all argued For:

“People that, with criminal negligence, starve or suffocate an animal worthy of serious attention and, in the criminal system, the way to get attention is to elevate a crime from the misdemeanor category to the felony category. By making it a felony, the prosecutors and police can give it more attention. This bill is the next step in modernizing our animal cruelty statute. It is disheartening to see starvation and dehydration cases that aren’t dealt with seriously by the authorities and these people often repeat these offenses.”

(Well so far, NONE of the 23 falsified animal cruelty cases were repeat offenders nor were they guilty of the allegations.)

And so it was, with that little legal undefined clause combined with the “criminal negligence” definition that then King County Chief of Staff Dan Satterberg (and his animal rights extremist terrorists “buddies”) enabled himself to prosecute and persecute innocent taxpaying citizens on his watch instead of going after animal sex brothels (an underground practice that has apparently gotten completely out of hand).

And Satterberg got in the saddle and whipped that horse within moments of Maleng’s death May 24, 2007 spiking the animal cruelty prosecution numbers from 3-4 a year to 12 in 2007 – a triple/quadruple jump from each year for the six (6) years prior. It would appear that Norm Maleng’s presence had kept the numbers down and Satterberg wasn’t wasting any time changing it.

Hanging out with fraud artists and domestic terrorists– Shades of Animal Rights Extremists (ARE) Terrorists as defined by Homeland security – the ends justify the means.

After a 16-month investigation by the Washington State Attorney General, Rob McKenna’s office in 2010, Pasado’s charged with a summons for misrepresentation of their use of donated funds (fraud).

The AG’s October 28, 2010 summons alleged four causes of action under numerous statutes of consumer protection.

Among them was that Pasado’s “misrepresented (fraud) specific uses or purposes for donated funds from approximately September 1, 2005 through approximately December 1, 2009.” They also misrepresented their disaster relief qualification and roles. This would have been around the time of Hurricane Katrina debacle. There were many complaints about how Pasado’s didn’t act during disasters while keeping FEMA monies. https://www.sos.wa.gov/_assets/charities/SummonsComplaintPacket20101102.pdf

The political appointee to FEMA Region X in 2005 was disgraced/terminated former director of Snohomish County, John E. Penningon. Pennington assisted Pasado’s Safe Haven with stealing taxpayer FEMA monies.

Pasado’s Safe Haven ended their attempts at defense by agreeing to a Consent Decree that ordered Pasado’s into mandatory audits and a $70,000 fine for misuse of funds (fraud).

This was specifically aimed at Satterberg’s animal rights lobbyist buddy, Pasado’s founder and director Susan Michaels. Susan Michaels was barred from serving on the Pasado’s board or working in executive management. https://www.sos.wa.gov/_assets/charities/ConsentDecree2010-11-05.pdf

One thing is certain; a leopard doesn’t change its spots. Susan Michaels, a former KING TV reporter, was apparently in the throes of Pasado’s misrepresentations to the public consumer while at the same time lobbying right next to Dan Satterberg to “enhance” the law she and he would directly benefit from.

It appears with Pasado’s the end justifies the means consistently even now. Laws are for everyone else not them and it appears that Satterberg is making sure his old lobbying buddies are never charged for their crimes against humanity. He is, after all, in the position to make that so.

Pasado minions continually thumb their nose at the law as if they know they will never be prosecuted for their actions. And it looks like they have good reason to be arrogant and free in their lawlessness.

Once in Pasado’s crosshairs there is little that can be done to disentangle oneself of any ARE campaign be it over-the-top misrepresentations of animal abuse on innocent people, shouting profanities at their prey, using money donated to help disaster victims diverted to build a resident mansion on their property or their self-appointed animal cruelty investigator Kim Koon openly admitting breaking and entering to videotape Chihuahuas and calling that “evidence.”

Breaking and entering is Class B felony (worse than a Class C felony). Pasado’s Kim Koon openly did this in the King County prosecution in order to stimulate a seizure of appx. 100 Chihuahuas and other breeds- $2,500/a dog – from the well-known AKC breeders and judges James and Margie Hamilton.

That’s a cash value of about a quarter million that King County doesn’t seem to have any accounting for except for an email where King County Deputy Prosecutor Gretchen Holmgren was trying to give $15,000 to another “nonprofit” for “helping” them distribute the dogs after the seizure.

Apparently the recipient failed to mention to Holmgren she wasn’t on the board anymore while two members of the board told Holmgren they would be content with $10,000. (Margie Hamilton was ordered to pay $35,000 in restitution later reduced to $22,000. King County has been unable to produce any records of this payment).

In the Hamilton case, one of the Regional Animal Services of King County Animal Control Officers, Shelby Russell took one of the poor, abused, starved, “emaciated” Hamilton Chihuahuas to a four-day dog show the day after the seizure. No one talks about that.

James Hamilton died three weeks into their arraignment but King County didn’t have anything to do with that or so the court documents claim.

Surprise! That wasn’t the end of it… oops.

But just after the end of that 2005 legislative session and Satterberg had just put the animal cruelty legislation all nicely put to bed, the Enumclaw man Kenneth Pinyan managed to get killed having sex with a horse. This exposed an animal sex brothel trade and a practice that had largely – successfully – been kept underground away from us regular folk.

Apparently it is big money business. Primarily it is mini horses. Some are just regular mini horses. Some are very high end Arabian-like mini horses bred for sale for those boutique-types in an affluent demographic. Some prefer goats, sheep and pit bulls.

The demographic is primarily the affluent who can afford it as the experience demands 5 figures; ownership and/or pimping (quite like drug use). All of which, the last time I checked, are criminal acts.

Neither Satterberg nor Michaels brought animal prostitution up during their lobbying and thus no one had considered it a problem in the earlier “Satterberg” legislation in 2005.

Pinyan’s death was certainly an event that exposed a compelling argument for animal cruelty. Gosh, not only do we have the child sex trade, we now have the animal sex trade – all are prostitution and predatory on those who have no voice.

In the next legislative session in 2006, Senator Pam Roach came in like a winter storm alert with SB 6417 and added “anti-bestiality” legislation to RCW 16.52.205 banning bestiality in Washington State. Roach’s bill was voted through unanimously then added to RCW 16.52.205 in June of 2006.

The bill passed unanimously. There does not appear to be any record of anyone testifying on this second round involving bestiality.

Satterberg didn’t show up. His buddy Susan Michaels didn’t show up. Her husband Mark Steinway did not show up but then they are divorced now. Not even the self-anointed Pasado animal cruelty “investigator” Kim Koon showed up. Aren’t they all about saving all those animals from cruelty? Not rape?

With Pam Roach’s unintentional help, the former “Satterberg” legislation then became the “anti-bestiality” law that Senator Pam Roach introduced in 2006.

One thing is certain. Satterberg couldn’t have missed the bestiality legislation.

So the bigger question is –

Why is Satterberg promoting and prosecuting innocent people with an unconstitutional law and NOT prosecuting those in the animal sex prostitution business?

Well the answer to that must be that they all draw the line when calling THAT kind of “loving” – “animal cruelty.”

Satterberg doesn’t change his spots either. What the records show –

Just as Satterberg used the Susan Michaels of Pasado’s entourage, he continues this behavior to use Pasado’s minions in his phony prosecutions for animal cruelty against innocent people.

Consistently employed by King County – without any apparent procurement required (procedures put in law to keep just this very thing from happening), are service providers without any required RFQ (requests for qualifications) calls. They are Pasado’s minions while engaged in many conflicts of interest.

At the head of list – has been veterinarian Hannah Mueller Evergreen and Jenny Edwards of Hope for Horses (HFH – now replaced by Jamie Taft/Bonnie Hammond of Save a Forgotten Equine).

Satterberg then brings up the rear (forgive the pun) with, it appears, any Brady cop he can find as witness to the fabricated crime. (Brady cops are officers who cannot be trusted to tell the truth under oath).

Satterberg’s office consistently fails to disclose to the innocent people he is prosecuting, that these witnesses have a criminal history and no credibility as required by law (and special duties of a prosecutor) to guarantee the constitutional rights of the defendant.

How the Pinyan death affected the legislators

When Kenneth Pinyan died in July of 2005 having sex with a horse at a well-known animal sex brothel in Enumclaw, it was two months after Satterberg and Pasado’s got SB 5253 neatly put in place. The shocking event served as a stark realization to legislators that animal sex abuse problems needed to be addressed more explicitly. There was no stopping this damage.

Then curiously came the movie about Pinyan. One wouldn’t really know it without watching it but it was an advocacy argument for sex with animals from the “handler’s” (the male madam) point of view. It is likened to being in the closet like homosexuality was in the 1950’s. It feels like a marketed “justification” that having sex with animals really isn’t so bad.

In fact, the film producers magically managed to have the actual – (the very same) ”handler” (pimp) who was running the Enumclaw animal sex brothel where Pinyan died – to help narrate the documentary about mid production. (I guess he couldn’t be prosecuted for animal cruelty – or so they said – or maybe the King County Prosecutor’s Office just didn’t want to prosecute him and draw anymore attention to Satterberg’s overt protection of the animal sex prostitution trade. After all Satterberg hadn’t shown any interest it).

In the movie, sex with animals was depicted as just an expression of “loving” an animal the same way as one would “love” their human lovers. AND that the animals liked it. They were born to like it.

The movie was professionally produced and went to Sundance where it won some unknown awards in the face of nearly 100% abject recoil by the press. A personal favorite was Danny Westneat’s “The spawn of horse sex” article.

Through the production of the documentary “ZOO” Pam Roach was clearly given credit for the entire legislation. Nothing was mentioned about the starvation and dehydration with criminal negligence that Dan Satterberg led the charge on over the previous 13 years.

Whether intentional or not, this film served as a passive marketing device that cloaked Satterberg’s involvement with the animal cruelty with “criminal negligence” and spotlighted Pam Roach with the animal cruelty/bestiality legislation. It appears to be an attempt to quell the public’s natural recoil. He could then control the message any way he pleased later – and he does.

And curiously, Satterberg’s favorite animal cruelty witnesses, veterinarian Hannah Mueller Evergreen and Jenny Edwards from Hope for Horses were both featured in this film. They must have thought they both would gain more business for it – except the public didn’t really see it that way.

The film also minimized the idea that the gathering of men who were involved in this were “johns” and depicted the groups as just a bunch of guys getting together like for a sports event. This is far from the case. This is a business model and a version of the prostitution trade using animals. It is that simple.

It is doubtful if Satterberg would want the world to know that his prosecutions all employ animal rights extremist terrorists (and/or other associated individuals to them) who were involved in a documentary that advocated having sex with animals. (Mainly Hannah Mueller Evergreen and Jenny Edwards of Hope for Horses – (who was later replaced by Jamie Taft/Bonnie Hammond of Save a Forgotten Equine)).

And although Satterberg mentions his involvement with lobbying for stricter animal abuse laws occasionally, he keeps his zero record on prosecuting bestiality invisible and even this message under the radar while the animal abuse talking point is the fourth prong of his campaign goals.

One has to really look for it – study the legislative notes – to find his true involvement with the animal rights extremist group, Pasado’s (who were committing fraud at the time, even then, with their claims to aid animal victims of the disasters like Hurricane Katrina).

How did the film happen?

When in 2007 Charles Mudede https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Mudede an associate editor of the weekly “The Stranger” suddenly came up with the idea to produce an animal sex advocacy film based on Pinyan’s death having sex with a horse at the animal sex brothel, the timing was surely serendipitous.

Given the messages within the film to soften the view of sex with animals to the public to “loving” the animal, the movie served to make Pam Roach the poster child of the bestiality animal cruelty legislation thus concealing Satterberg’s involvement in the base animal cruelty unconstitutional legislation he drove previously.

They called the movie “ZOO” and coined another name for bestiality – “zoophile.” Then they took the film to Sundance – which anyone can do with $150 entry fee.

Much of the abject recoil in the press reviews was suppressed. It actually won some awards though not well received by the public. Let’s just say it wasn’t a best seller except to a very specialized demographic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo_(film)

The movie documented that the 2005 death and the subsequent 2006 bestiality legislation was fueled with daily commentaries by pundits Bill O’Reily and Rush Limbaugh fueling a media circus until it was passed unanimously in both the senate and the house. No one dared to vote against it and no one did. [And it would pay to remember that O’Reily and Limbaugh don’t do anything like that for free.]

Satterberg has consistently used his lobbying on animal cruelty legislation as a campaign platform but his position on bestiality message is under the radar and remains blurred.

He also consistently leaves out, or rather “distances,” his well documented long-term relationship with the defrocked Susan Michaels former director of Pasado’s Safe Haven while clearly they have been a team since at least 1994 – 22 years.

Susan Michaels was the founder and director of the “rescue” Pasado’s Safe Haven that would be charged in 2010 by the Attorney General’s office for fraud and misuse of donated funds. No amount of recapitulation of that event located on Pasado’s website is going to change the fact that as a nonprofit, they fraudulently misdirected funds for their personal use.

Our “watershed moment” came when we got phone records that showed Snohomish County Emergency Director John Pennington (now terminated) pedophile who is responsible for 43 people dying in the Oso mudslide due to his spectacular incompetence – that moment exposed that Pennington, Jenny Edwards (Hope for Horses) and Charles Mudede (Editor for the Stranger) had each other on speed dial. At least in August of 2015 they did and THAT is an interesting connection to Snohomish County and their band of unlawful prosecutions and illegal horse rustling following in Satterberg’s footsteps.

This all suggests that the film about Pinyan’s demise (as being an accidental unplanned event) was to serve as damage control for so as to not get people in the public too upset that there is a thriving market of animal sex brothels going on right under their noses – some within a 1,000 feet of some of their children’s schools.

More of Satterberg’s concealed position on bestiality:

In his political “issues” https://dansatterberg.com/issues/animal-abuse curiously Satterberg goes on to state:

“I took a leadership role in successfully lobbying the State Legislature to pass laws making animal cruelty a felony, punishable by up to five years in prison. In 2005 I also support legislation that made it a crime to dehydrate or starve an animal to death.”

That is only part of what he did. He fails to mention the part about “with criminal negligence,” (nor his lack of prosecuting animal sex prostitution).

The actual language of the RCW states:

RCW 16.52.205 – http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=16.52.205(2)

“(2) A person is guilty of animal cruelty in the first degree when, except as authorized by law, he or she, with criminal negligence, starves, dehydrates, or suffocates an animal and as a result causes: (a) Substantial and unjustifiable physical pain that extends for a period sufficient to cause considerable suffering; or (b) death.”

RCW 9A.08.010(1)(d)

“Criminal Negligence” (from above) http://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9A.08.010

“(d) CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE. A person is criminally negligent or acts with criminal negligence when he or she fails to be aware of a substantial risk that a wrongful act may occur and his or her failure to be aware of such substantial risk constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would exercise in the same situation.”

Apparently Satterberg should have added to that claim, “I intend to persecute innocent good honest taxpaying citizens with no criminal record INSTEAD of pursuing the prosecutions of the people running the prostitutions involving animal sex brothels in the area.”

The numbers tell the tale, there is only one prosecution for animal sex in the entire state (that we could find) and it failed. And it wasn’t Satterberg’s case. He has zero.

What is that saying? It would certainly appear he is protecting the animal sex trade.

What has happened since?

According this 2005 article Satterberg’s watershed moment came with a Bellevue case through the crime scene photos. http://www.seattlepi.com/local/article/Legislation-makes-animal-neglect-a-felony-1171992.php But obviously it was much-much earlier.

“Satterberg said King County prosecutors try about 10 animal-cruelty cases a year.”

[Court records reveal that at that time, the King County Prosecutor’s office was consistently trying 3 – 4 cases a year.]

Satterberg also states that “Neglect cases are not expected to add an unmanageable burden.”

In hindsight, since Satterberg took the reins to replace Norm Maleng after Maleng’s untimely and sudden death May 4, 2007, the King County Prosecutor’s Office has accumulated well over 130 cases between 2007 and 2013.

That is triple/quadruple what Maleng prosecuted and an astronomical spike in prosecutions for animal cruelty.

Of those cases reviewed, it appears at least 23 cases were fraudulently prosecuted against completely innocent people with no criminal history using fabricated evidence. [They were all, property owners.]

In addition, those cases were rife (nearly exclusively) with corrupted State experts from Satterberg’s lobbying efforts, and the law enforcement who testify are undisclosed criminals themselves. (Brady officers, someone who can’t be trusted to tell the truth under oath).

Hannah Mueller and Jenny Edwards led that charge.

Satterberg has one of his chiefs, Dan Clark in charge of the “Brady Committee” where – apparently – Mr. Clark suppresses criminal employees from getting on the Brady list along with the assistance of his former personal assistant Ann Westberg, mother to the infamous Brady Officer, RASKC Animal Control Officer Jenee Westberg the career criminal herself.

Westberg photo from public records passed out in the back of a police car during her 19-count drug arrest.

What is Satterberg’s motivation here? Empire building? Having an excuse to employ more people? Justify his existence? Cover up incompetence of what it would take to go after the epidemic of real criminals who are sexually abusing animals? Drugs? Money? Protecting the practice of bestiality in WA State? More money?

One thing it isn’t – is advocacy for animal well-being.

We may never know the whole answer to that question but facts are facts. The numbers don’t lie. Just these 23 cases alone have cost King County many millions of tax dollars, it has cost those wrongly accused their reputations, their livelihoods, in some cases, their lives. And these cases only serve as a diversionary cloak from the real thriving criminal money-making problem – having sex with animals instead of people.

In contrast to those non-criminals Satterberg has chosen to prosecute, State witnesses employed in these cases are individuals with criminal backgrounds, corrupted veterinarians and “rescues” who are gouging, embezzling and committing perjuries en masse and undisclosed “Brady Officers (those who cannot be trusted to tell the truth under oath).” They are providing falsified evidence and perjury for the appearance of an easy win through cheating. The “fix is in” or so they say.

Only those vulnerable with NO criminal record who own property are chosen for prosecution.

Egregiously altered transcripts appear when a defendant has the audacity to seek justice in a higher court. A leopard doesn’t change his spots… er… rather a snake doesn’t stop slithering.

This campaign is an animal rights extremist’s dream and keeps all the animal sex violations out of view through obfuscation.

There are definitively 23 innocent people in King County that Satterberg has wrongfully made criminals of who were law abiding, taxpaying citizens before him with no criminal history. These are people who believed in the justice of the judicial system who do no longer.

Many people have reached out to Satterberg begging him to correct and vacate these cases. This would include the wrongfully accused, their lawyers and other elected officials. He is certainly aware of it yet he has refused to do anything. It would appear he has painted himself into the proverbial corner when he could have done the right thing years ago.

But if he is protecting a massive deviate sex prostitution organization with lots of revenue, why would he care? He has the power to prosecute whoever he wants.

This is what Dan Satterberg is REALLY doing besides:

funding his friends at Pasados,
protecting Hannah Mueller Evergreen (whose credentials at the Dept. of Health Licensing leaves me to believe she should be investigated for fraud),
protecting Jenny Edwards (whose self-dealing with King County Animal Control leaves me to believe she’s running quite the little racket getting people charged with animal abuse and them collecting taxpayers money from government agencies to care for the animal bilking for hundreds of thousands),
protecting Ms. Michaels at Pasado’s using taxpayer’s monies through the animal abuse scam to grab headlines news a hell of a lot of public and private donations between her and Save a Forgotten Equine’s Jamie Taft and Bonnie Hammond.

Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe is playing the same animal abuse scam. More on those two cockroaches soon.

Pedophile

Snohomish County’s terminated political appointee, John E. Pennington, claims to have a log book of high ranking political officials, including judges, lawyers, and politicians writing down their “feelings” inside a log book after having sex with animals at Echo Lake. For now, I’m going to hold off publishing their names but Pennington’s little extortion scheme is coming to end. And if anyone is wondering, there are copies.

Dave Somers marks a new sunshine era for Snohomish County Washington

November 6, 2015 by goldbarreporter 4 Comments

Dave Somers, Snohomish County Executive Elect 2016-2020

Most of you who know me well, know that I seldom ever support any specific candidate, because I seldom trust politicians. Washington Coalition for Open Government President Toby Nixon is one exception.

However all that changed this year, while in Great Brittan, I learned that Dave Somers decided to run for Snohomish County Executive against John Lovick’s corrupt executive officers. Which as of today, I can affirmatively state extends to Olympia.

I remember contacting Dave saying I’d like to make a campaign contribution to your campaign, can you please let me know who your campaign manager is, and his response was that he was a one a man show.

I encouraged Dave to stay the course, because I spent countless hours on the phone ( sometimes pulling all nighters) with other like minded sunshine citizens who are frustrated and fed up with the corruption.

I know Washingtonians are ready for a clean and honest government, and are now frustrated enough to take an active role in holding corrupt government officials accountable. However, I asked Dave to remember one basic political science principle “ its we the people and that only reason voters will vote for you is that they perceive you as their best chance for change.”

This year’s election is proof, but time will tell if Dave remembers his responsibility to “we the people, not ye the corrupt few.”

Looking over the last three years, I became a regretful voter of Governor Inslee. When Governor Jay Inslee decided to back a thug and bum named John Lovick for Snohomish County Executive, who for years covered up for executive criminals like John E. Pennington, Mark Ericks, Brian Lewis, Peter Camp, and Brian Perry, I knew he was part of the problem up in Snohomish County.

Governor Inslee’s silence on the corruption inside every Washington State agency is quite disturbing and has me left regretting my vote. Surprisingly, Governor Inslee stopped all death penalty cases here in Washington – something I highly respected him for- but after reviewing evidence of massive corruption inside every government agency in Washington State, I’ve come to believe that he felt that its ok to place victims of our corrupt government in jail or label citizens felons so long as we don’t kill them.

Perhaps he was having trouble sleeping at night because he knows how corrupt Washington State government is? By allowing our government to “trump up criminal charges on hard working honest citizens, turning them into criminals, I believe Inslee is part of the problem.”

Sorry Governor Inslee I gave you two years to attack the massive corruption inside our government but You chose to ignore it. You and John Lovick not only ignored, but you allowed it to grow like a cancer met to every organ of this state.

I can’t stop seeing images of that small baby pulled lifeless, dead, from the Oso mudslides; mudslides could have been avoided had John E. Pennington not told former Executive Aaron Reardon in an email ” its good to build boss.” An email that we turned over to John Pennington’s Oso victims, hoping to help add a little closure to the gross amount of pain and suffering John E. Pennington was allowed to cause to so many.

I admit I am not John E. Pennington’s only victim.

I blame John Lovick and John E. Pennington for causing the deaths of 43 people, because instead of doing his job, John Pennington criminally harassed a citizen on the County’s payroll, operated his own for profit company, never earned an accredited college degree, and criminally assaulted women and children, instead of mitigating loss of human life.

According to Snohomish County’s charter, mitigation was solely John E. Pennington’s job, and if having caused 43 people to suffocate to death wasn’t’ deserving of “ F” for failure, I’m not sure what it is.

But instead in May 2015, John Lovick wrote an email letter to John E. Pennington stating ” You’re a great leader”, which triggered a response from me saying “If killing 43 people in Oso mudslides is evidence of a great leader, I’d hate to see what your definition of a bad leader is Mr. Lovick.”

For over three years, I turned over mounds of files on John Pennington to the Washington State Bar totaling over 1800 pages of Exhibits; Exhibits the Washington State Bar tirelessly conspired to exclude (and Linda Eide and Lin O’Dell tried to destroy, but were unable to because we sent those files via emails preserving those for years to come) hoping to continue the massive cover up all in an effort to protect a political bum’s criminal conduct.

If I were Governor, I would have filed negligent homicide charges against John E. Pennington, not allowed him to collect a $11,000.00 a month welfare check, thus adding insult to the people he killed in Oso. But instead John Lovick and Jay Inslee ignored and spit on their constituents.

John Lovick’s career is over just like Aaron Reardon, and as a result of allowing John E. Pennington to criminally harass citizens instead of mitigating loss of life in Washington State’s most preventable nature disaster loss to human life, the Oso mudslides. John E. Pennington is being sued for Racketeering in U.S Federal Court, and more likely than not a new RICO suit will be filed for his, corrupt cop Lori Batiot, Joe Beavers and Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg, convicted of bank fraud 2005) criminal conduct in 2015.

see http://twitdoc.com/view.asp?id=172712&sid=3P9K&ext=PDF&lcl=RICO-files.pdf&usr=Sunshine2015K&doc=252796214&key=key-vCgcyry8MG3PdTevxTaE

“ Hecka of job, double Johnny boys”

Over the last seven years, I’ve had my life threatened by John E. Pennington, and Gold Bar’s former Mayor Crystal Hill ( nee Berg, convicted of bank fraud 2005) and Joe Beavers. I had my property rights extorted by the trio, but not without the assistance of Washington State Bar Office of Disciplinary Counsel members Linda Eide, Lin O’Dell, Julie Shankland, and Alison Sato, and our wonderful friends from Snohomish County Prosecutors Office, Mark Roe, Margaret King, and Sean Reay.

The amount of damage the above people have done to Washington State must be repaired, otherwise We see no end in sight.

As a youngster, I campaigned for a lot of politicians, but knowing Dave Somers is a honest politician who holds true to his promises, I was ecstatic to hear that may be, possibly, Snohomish County government may have a chance of conducting itself in a honest and respectful manner.

Bigger question is whether Dave will continue the cover up for the criminals listed herein, or expose them with hell of a lot of Sunshine. Time will tell.

My only hope is that I don’t regret my decision to back Dave Somers as Snohomish County’s only clear chance for Sunshine in 2016, because I know that once he crosses what I consider to be an ethical line, my compassion for him will turn to stone and I will spend another century scrutinizing his conduct as well.

If the voters stop acting like sheep, we wouldn’t be in the mess we are in.

Washington Court of Appeals Div. I, Judge Marlin Appelwick’s ‘fraud upon the court” exposed in public records

October 24, 2015 by goldbarreporter 4 Comments

Snohomish County’s # 1 welfare recipient John E. Pennington ( left); The Dishonorable Justice Marlin Appelwick, WA Court Appeals Div. I ( right).

Republished article below with permission from www.snocoreporter.com

Seems Judge Applewick has a few more skeletons rolling out his closet door.

He and Pennington have been “Dear Friends” since the early 90’s and in 1999 Judge Marlin Appelwick administered the Oath of Office to Speaker Pro Tempore John Pennington.

ACCEPTANCE SPEECH BY SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE PENNINGTON

Representative Pennington: “Thank you, Representative Alexander for your kind remarks. I would like to introduce my wife and best friend, Valerie and my Mother-in-Law, Ruth Fox. Judge Appelwick Over the past two years in this position, I have had three wonderful teachers. One is my friend Speaker Clyde Ballard. Another, the gentleman I will soon nominate for the office of Chief Clerk, Mr. Tim Martin, and the third is my former colleague and friend, Judge Marlin Appelwick. What an honor to be sworn in by him.

2. Judge Applewick and John Pennington (along with Hans Dunshee -Pay attention, that name will be very important in time) have been working together for 17 years to destroy the Public Records Act and to assure that Govt agencies are not held accountable for their malfeasance and to remove some of the powers of the Public Disclosure Commission

Oh but wait… there’s more destroying culpability for violating the public records act and campaign laws is hard work

HB2435 by Representatives Pennington, Appelwick, Constantine, Ogden, Cooper, Kessler, Gardner, Wolfe, Butler, Costa, Linville, D. Schmidt, Murray, Morris, Anderson and Gombosky; by request of Public Disclosure Commission AN ACT Relating to reporting of independent campaign expenditures; and adding a new section to chapter 42.17 RCW. Referred to Committee on Government Administration.

HB 2474 by Representatives Pennington, Appelwick, O’Brien, Dunshee and Kessler; by request of Legislative Ethics Board AN ACT Relating to gifts under ethics in public service laws; and amending RCW 42.52.010 and 42.52.150. Referred to Committee on Government Administration.

HB 2495 by Representatives Pennington, Appelwick, O’Brien, Poulsen, Dickerson, Constantine, Ogden, Cooper, Kessler, Gardner, Butler, Linville, Murray, Conway, Anderson and Gombosky; by request of Public Disclosure Commission AN ACT Relating to penalties for violations of public disclosure laws; amending RCW 42.17.390, 42.17.395, and 42.17.400; and prescribing penalties. Referred to Committee on Government Administration.

Judge Applewick had no business on any case involving John Pennington at all whatsoever yet there he was, sweeping it all away for his dear friend.

Crystal Pennington and Laura Kelly are clearly both thieves, yet Applewick acted as if they could tell no lies. Applewick knew there was a clear conflict as soon as he seen the name Pennington and he should’ve immediately recused himself.

This is a violation, a crystal clear violation of Judicial Conduct but since the head of the Commission of Judicial Conduct is a former minion of Anderson Hunter I doubt anything will be done. I have forwarded this info to Ms Block and I can only pray that she nails this corrupt slug to a wall.

I will also be filing a complaint myself. There is far more to this story and I promise we will bring it to you as soon as we get the rest of our documentation.

A special Thank You to a wonderful reporter named Brandia from www.SnoCoReporter.com for “unlocking” another piece of the “largest Racketeering” scandal in Washington State’s History. It looks like we’re well on our way to exposing G.Geoffrey Gibbs’s involvement in this massive cancer, which spread, just as any nasty cancer does, to every agency in Washington State!

At the center of the rotten onion is lead counsel Linda Eide at the Washington State Bar. Let it be known Ms. Eide, we are working on your story…. coming soon. Guardian scam… ah those pesky public records.

Below is little of what we know and are willing to post as we stand by our investigation of Snohomish County’s biggest frauders John E. Pennington, former Gold Bar Mayor Joe Beavers, and Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg, bank fraud 2005).

Below is a massive piece of the Racketeering puzzle we uncovered in Washington State!

Duvall City attorney Sandra Sullivan (Meadowcraft) quashing criminal charges for political favors, EXPOSED

September 21, 2015 by goldbarreporter 1 Comment (Edit)

UPDATE: KING COUNTY RELEASES PUBLIC RECORDS DOCUMENTING THAT SANDRA SULLIVAN ( Meadowcraft), A CONTRACT ATTORNEY WITH KENYON DISEND LINKED TO RICO SCANDAL, AND

DUVALL WASHINGTON CHIEF OF POLICE CAREY HART RESIGNS AFTER RECORDS RELEASED SHOW HE WAS INVOLVED IN QUASHING CRIMINAL CHARGES FOR JOHN E. PENNINGTON FOR CRIMINAL HARASSMENT

More good news for us First Amendment defenders in Washington State! It just keeps getting better, thanks to Washington State’s Public Records Act. RCW 42.56

King County released records confirming beyond any shadow of a doubt that Duvall Prosecutor Sandra Sullivan ( Meadowcraft) who works for Kenyon Disend ( also city attorney for Gold Bar and City of Duvall) on a contractual basis quashed criminal assault charges as political favors for then Executive Aaron Reardon, on behalf of Snohomish County’s number one political bum, John E. Pennington.

The City of Shoreline also turned over public records confirming that Ms. Sullivan ( Meadowcraft) is at it again, but this time with her friend and former City of Gold Bar/ Snohomish County Prosecutor Margaret King ( who now works for the City of Shoreline).

Attorney Margaret King is the attorney created the City of Gold Bar’s public records debacle by hiding public records involving attorneys Michael Kenyon and Sandra Sullivan ( Meadowcraft) quashing criminal assault charges against John E. Pennington after he violently assaulted a pregnant woman just three weeks before the delivery of her daughter. Public Records Michael Kenyon unlawfully billed the City of Gold Bar to hide his law firms crimes.

Luckily, Gold Bar had a clerk, Laura Kelly, who was terminated for stealing from the City that was far from the sharpest tool in shed. Ms. Kelly released records accidentally . . . but before we discuss in detail why the City of Gold Bar continues to misappropriate over $1,000,000.00 dollars hiding public records involving Michael Kenyon and Sandra Meadocraft’s agreeing to quash criminal charges against Snohomish County’s number one bum, John E. Pennington, we’ll wait to see what the Supreme Court does.

Can’t wait . . . reform may be coming soon.

corrupt Duvall police officer Lori Batiot, involved in extramarital affair with John E. Pennington, a source states for years while he was FEMA Region 10 Director.

Public records from Lori Batiot’s criminal complaint file inside the City of Shoreline document that attorney Sandra Sullivan and Margaret King set up a King County Sheriff’s Officer named Cary Cobltanz, a RICO Enterprise member, who tried to trump up criminal charges on Gold Bar Reporter for trying to warn the public about John E. Pennington’s pedophilism. All protected free speech issues.

Perhaps Ms. Sullivan failed constitutional law or she’s in so deep with Michael Kenyon and John E. Pennington’s racketeering that she saw no other way out of being exposed once Gold Bar’s emails are release from January 2009 to June 2009 ( months when Sandra Sullivan agreed to quash criminal charges against John Pennington in exchange for political favors from Snohomish County.

Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe: what a tangled web You’ve weaved when you attempt to deceive.

In late June 2015, King County Prosecutors released public records documenting that corrupt Duvall police officer Lori Batiot’s criminal complaint was “unfounded.” The Prosecutors reasoned what Judge Meyers reasoned in his opinion when the DISMISSED John and Crystal Hill Pennington’s complaint in March 2015, ” Protected Free Speech.”

Records released from the City of Shoreline and Duvall document that the records that corrupt police officer Lori Baiot placed inside the public record belong to another blogger, were altered by Crystal Hill Pennington ( who with no surprise plead guilty to bank fraud in 2005) and pedophile from Snohomish County named John E. Pennington.

John E. Pennington is Snohomish County’s former Director who caused 43 people in Oso Washington to suffocate to death in March 2014, because instead of doing his job, he was off operating his own company on the County’s dime, and according to an insider, he was criminal harassing Gold Bar Reporters, while blogging on his Sky Valley Chronicle blog spot.

A source inside the City of Brier stated ” it was pretty common knowledge that Lori Batiot was engaged in an extramarital affair with John Pennington while he was FEMA Region 10 Director. In fact, she was caught taking the police car home so her and John could meet up. John was friends with Mayor Lane. You might remember Mayor from City of Brier was the Mayor involved that unsolved murder. He let Lori Batiot run her real estate business on the City’s dime for Windemere, and he set up John Pennington’s extramarital meet up with Lori Batiot. When the new Mayor came after Lane was alleged to be involved in the murder, he put an end to Lori Batiot’s misuse of the City’s resources for her personal and extramarital affair with John Pennington.”

Corrupt King County Sheriff’s Officer, Cary Coblantz, a RICO member

Those of us who love and support open government, can rest a little easier tonight knowing that King County released public records from a Sheriff’s Officer Cary Coblantz documenting gross civil rights violations. See below. Illegal tracking of US citizens without a warrant overseas, in violation of the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution. Shoreline Officer Cary Coblantz was notified that he is being sued under 42 USC 1983 and RICO for his illegal conduct.

Cary Coblantz’s phone records confirm beyond any shadow of doubt that Sandra Sullivan assisted John Pennington’s little Racketeering efforts attempting to have the Gold Bar Reporter charged with a crime.

King County records also confirm that John E Pennington’s criminal conduct as stated herein took place using county resources and while on the County taxpayer’s dime, and he was behind the illegal tracking on the Gold Bar Reporter and her partner from London Heathrow airport. Records we will be posting once our 1983 suit is filed this week.

A RICO suit has been filed noting the City of Duvall’s municipal law firm of Kenyon Disend for Racketeering. Attorney Sandra Sullivan was informed on Thursday that she will be added to the next RICO suit after text messages and phone records from King County link her to the RICO Enterprise. Some really good shit!

We tried contacting attorney Sandra Sullivan ( Meadowcraft) for comment but she refused.

A little hint about what’s behind the curtain up here in Gold Bar Washington, hence why the City of Gold Bar has misappropriated over $1,000,000.00 hiding Kenyon Disend’s Racketeering crimes. All for a pedophile named John E. Pennington and a bank frauder named Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) .

According to Redmond District Court records, Sandra Sullivan (Meadowcraft) was employed by Kenyon Disend when she was assigned to prosecute Snohomish County’s number one political scum/appointee John E. Pennington for kicking and punching Duvall council member Anne Laughlin during her 3rd trimester and just three weeks before delivery of her daughter.

Instead of Sandra Sullivan prosecuting violent John Pennington, she quashed criminal assault charges from 2008-2009 against him. ( Snohomish County pay stubs document Pennington has been on paid administrative leave since Oso).

I spoke to attorney Sandra Sullivan seeking comment regarding her lack of objecting to John Pennington’s template motion to dismiss he filed in May 2009. Sandra Sullivan (Meadowcraft) and I spoke for sometime, and as soon as she realized that we were onto her predicate acts in violation of RICO, she hung up.

Agreeing to Quash Criminal Charges in Exchange for Political Influence. Racketeering ? I believe so

See http://goldbarreporter.org/2015/04/04/attorney-michael-kenyons-dirty-bag-of-secrets-part-ii/

Kenyon Disend and all of its lawyers were contacted for comment but refused comment.

Last month, King County Prosecutor’s released a statement stating that Duvall police officer Lori Batiot’s and Crystal Hill Pennington and John Pennington’s complaints based solely on issues of free speech, protected First Amendment activity were “unfounded.”

In March 2015, King County Judge Meyers “DENIED” Lori Batiot’s friends, Crystal Hill Pennington and John Pennington’s request to “restrain” the Gold Bar Reporters as a “prior restraint on free speech.”

Public emails released from King County confirms that King County Sheriff’s Officer Cary Coblantz issued a false statement inferring that Gold Bar Reporter Anne Block and her partner were wanted for “felony warrants” thus luring the Department of Justice Interpol ( DOJ) into their little RICo gang.

Cary Coblantz then illegally tracked Block and her partner coming from London Heathrow Airport to Seattle as well las Block’s private investigator and his wife. And now thanks to King County, we know that John Pennington is directly linked to the illegal tracking of the Gold Bar Reporter and her partner coming back from London Heathrow Airport.

As of now, John Pennington is being sued in US Federal Court for Racketeering, and a new suit is on its way just in time for 2016.

A Internal affairs complaint has been substantiated against King County Officer/scum Cary Coblantz, and he was notifed that he will be named in a RICO suit coming soon.

All over assisting a corrupt police officer who has a long history of conduct hardly becoming of any person let alone a police officer.

Duvall Mayor Will Ibershoff Hired John Pennington’s Mistress, a drunk pill popper

The City of Duvall released Lori Batiot’s Washington State Patrol record documenting that she was drunk at the time of a car accident; she blew a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .129 (between 6- 7 drinks), lied to Whatcom County Sheriff’s Officer, and she was on mental health pills Zoloft and Valium at the same time she was driving drunk.

Above are copies of Lori Batiot’s police report verifying everything we’ve written about her conduct being ” unbecoming” of any police officer.

Better question those of us involved in exposing corrupt public officers like Lori Batiot is whether she had a legally issued prescription for the anti-depressant and valium’s she was using at the time she was arrested for DUI.

According to Batiot’s police report, she was using valium to “relax” herself because of a dentist appointment. We’re not sure about our readers but we don’t know too many dentists who are open at 0145 am ( time of Batiot’s arrest).

This police report is also at least the 3rd public record where Batiot accuses a person of “stalking.” Seems like any time someone starts to uncover her crimes, she alleges “stalking.”

In the above record, it’s clear just based on Batiot’s BaC at the time of the her DUI arrest, she lied about the amount of alcohol she had just before driving and causing a major accident along I-5 ( Bellingham). She is “unfit” for public duty.

Our readers should note that Lori Batiot managed to get hired as a police officer from the City of Duvall after being fired for misconduct from the City of Ferndale and from the City of Brier. We have ample reason to believe that Lori Batiot managed to get hired in Duvall because that’s where her very very very good friend John E. Pennington lives.

According to the below public record, John Pennington enjoys taking naked showers with little girls. There is no evidence that John Pennington ever tried to Motion to Strike out this declaration, which would be pretty hard to do since the truth is an affirmative defense.

Further, public records from Duvall documents that John E. Pennington’s friend and Mayor Will Ibershoff hired Lori Batiot. Emails from John Pennington’s divorce files confirms that Mayor Ibershoff assisted John Pennington in removing his wife Anne as a duly elected council member ( which is alleged in a RICO suit to amount to extortion), after she fled Duvall for her life when John Pennington kicked and punched her just three weeks before the delivery of her daughter.

John Pennington, a source inside Snohomish County, used by several newspapers, managed to get news story in the Seattle Times about Anne Laughlin not being a resident of Duvall thus she had to resign. What the Times did not report was that John E. Pennington had just been charged with criminal assault of 3rd trimester pregnant woman and that was the reason Anne fled from Duvall ( temporarily seeking battered women’s shelter).

See more on ” The Stoning of Anne Laughlin” http://goldbarreporter.org/2015/04/16/the-city-of-duvalls-stoning-of-anne-laughlin/

Some of these issues we’ve researched and written about in this article was also exposed in “Kenyon Disend’s Dirty Bag of Secrets”

See http://goldbarreporter.org/2015/04/04/attorney-michael-kenyons-dirty-bag-of-secrets-part-ii/

Kenyon Disend and all of its lawyers were contacted for comment but refused comment.

The Bellingham WA State Patrol DUI police report confirms our worst fears; the City of Duvall knew about Lori Batiot’s criminal history before she was hired, and we believe that this makes her unfit for public service. Popping pills while drunk driving at minimum should speak for itself.

Before Lori Batiot managed to obtain a job as a police officer, her work experience was that of a coffee Barista!

The City of Duvall’s employee file of Lori Batiot also supports that she has no college degree and was fired from the City of Ferndale and City of Brier.

We feel that her days as a coffee Barista and her affair ( as stated in her DUI arrest record) lead to her obtaining a job with the City of Ferndale. A job she was unqualified for but managed to obtain.

We have ample evidence to state that Lori Batiot was hired by the City of Duvall as a political favor to Snohomish County’s number one welfare recipient John E. Pennington.More that issue soon.

John Pennington often brags that he set up little RICO members inside government agencies to protect him from being charged with crimes. Police reports from the City of Duvall confirms that Lori Batiot ran criminal obstruction for John Pennington anytime someone filed a criminal complaint against him.

Thus, the Gold Bar Reporters add one more cockroach to our list of public officials who need a hell of a lot of sunshine. As such, we will continue to post records relating to Lori Batiot’s misconduct so long as she’s a public official.

As former Washington State attorney general Rob McKenna nicely argued in Referendum 71, all public officers are subject to public scrutiny, or as Justice Scalia said “the fact is that running a democracy takes a certain amount of civic courage. And the First Amendment does not protect you from criticism or even nasty phone calls when you exercise your political rights to legislate, or to take part in the legislative process.”

Whether it’s a police officer, public official, politician, or a former Mayor of Gold Bar who is responsible for over $200,000 missing from Gold Bar’s water fund, to allow a person in a position of power to retaliate against a well respected news source would mean that I condone such criminal behavior from our public officials. Simply put, I do not and will not.

Citizens are the checks and balances to a clean government. It’s our responsibly to expose corrupt public officials regardless of the personal cost to one’s self. Justice has no borders, has no price tag. Corruption harms all of us and must be exposed regardless of the personal cost to one’s self.

Thomas Jefferson said ” the highest form of patriotism is dissent.” This doesn’t mean that I believe our entire system is corrupt. I do not.

As an idealist who believes that our courts are simply one prong to a healthy democracy. But lately they are failing to uphold the laws instead are hiding public officials crimes. So it’s up to “we the people” to be the guarders of public agency employees we created and who are paid with the public’s trust. It’s we the people that must protect the First Amendment from all invaders. Police officers are no exception, and yesterday, the Washington State Supreme Court agreed with us. Requesting access to public records, especially emails, is our statutory right.

After reviewing some of King County Detective Coblantz’s records as well as Kenyon Disend’s contract attorney Sandra Sullivan (Meadowcraft) records. I believe we unearthed another dirty cop and attorney who spit on basic constitutional principles that I love more than life itself. Thus, I cannot turn a blind eye, especially after Coblantz caused an honest taxpaying citizen to be physically raped for a dirty cop from Duvall.

To turn a blind eye when a wrong has been committed against any person for simply exercising First Amendment rights is not something that I can do.

One must wonder whether or not police departments are hiring officers with a high school diploma or high school dropouts. The City of Duvall not only hired uneducated cops but also corrupt cops convicted of DUI who have been fired from two other City’s for misconduct.

For those of you who have past criminal convictions, enjoy filing false reports, enjoy having extramarital affairs with city residents, and no college degree, You should inquire within the City of Duvall at http://www.duvallwa.gov/jobs.aspx.

I feel fortunate to have been raised in a “free speech” zone, and most of all I am thankful to Thomas Jefferson for bringing the First Amendment back with him from Europe.

As new public records come out involving corrupt officers, I promise my readers they will be posted.

“License to steal” with the assistance of the Washington State Bar

October 4, 2015 by goldbarreporter 15 Comments

How Guardians from the Washington State Bar Disciplinary Officers

are given a license to steal from Washington State’s most vulnerable adults

Forward:

When lawyers steal from their clients, It’s We the taxpayers that end up paying the bill.

Attorney Lin ( Linda) O’Dell ( aka Worthington), an attorney handpicked by the Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) to hear complaints filed against lawyers by clients ( non clients should have no forum) uses a convicted killer named Mark Plivilech to intimidate vulnerable adults, while she uses WSBA influence to continue stealing and depleting elderly clients trusts.

But O’Dell doesn’t do this alone, she gets a pass from the WSBA ODC.

Once Lin O’Dell and other attorneys involved in the same conduct as stated herein deplete the clients’ trust accounts, they place the client on Medicare and/or on the Medicaid system.

Our elderly deserve to die with dignity, and without the elite few WSBA members associated with the Office of Disciplinary Council and WSBA Boards lining their pockets with the gold of others, stealing with the assistance of a few Commissioners’ and Judges, at the expense of the United States taxpayers.

We have drafted a “Brady List” of Judges, Commissioners, and attorneys we know are involved in criminal conduct as outlined herein and will be posting names soon to our “ Brady List.”

Sadly, attorney Spokane attorney Lin O’Dell is not the exception, but she is part of the Racketeering scandal exposed over the past year involving what we call the center of the rotten onion, the WSBA ODC.

The WSBA ODC is using police officers, attorneys and judges to trump up criminal charges on honest hard working citizens and attorneys who speak out against corrupt government officials, and we ( Americans) must do everything in our power to peacefully and legally stop them. Their actions of going after honest lawyers and whistleblowers who attempt to expose corrupt judges, attorneys and police officers stifles our free market economy, and as in my case, violates Sherman Antitrust laws.

We the people are the checks and balances to an honest and clean government. As a person who grew up with two activist parents, who were no parents of the year by any stretch of the truth, I was brought up to believe there is no greater sacrifice or greater good on Mother Earth then helping the sick, elderly, abused, exposing corrupt government officials, and helping the wrongfully convicted. I value the First Amendment to US Constitution as the greatest gift Thomas Jefferson’s gave to America, more valuable than a Bar license.

If you look at great human civilizations, from the Roman Empire to the Soviet Union, you will see that most do not fail simply due to external threats but because of internal weakness, corruption, or a failure to manifest the values and ideals they espouse. Cory Booker

Attorney Lin O’Dell, a thief, an attorney, a nurse, and a guardian

Washington State Bar (WSBA) Disciplinary Hearing Officer Lin (Linda) O’Dell (aka Worthington) is stealing from Washington State vulnerable adults, manly over the age of 60, and being aided by the WSBA’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) members, Scott Busby and Linda Eide, and her partner, a convicted killer named Mark Plivilech ( Spokane).

Attorney Lin O’Dell’s Linked In page:

Attorney Lin O’ Dell brags about her days as an administrative hearing officer for the Department of Health, she worked as a nurse and is now a guardian overseeing elderly clients trust accounts.

Lin O’Dell is not licensed in Idaho, only Washington. A relevant issue discussed later.

Does being a nurse or a guardian, especially one that has never engaged in the practice of law constitute qualifications under the WSBA guidelines for hearing officers?

Simply put, no. I ‘ve researched the WBSA rules on appointing hearings officers and discovered that in order for the WSBA member to be appointed as a hearing officer one must have been engaged in the practice of law. Here, Ms. O’ Dell appears to be the exception to this rule, since she never practiced law.

This begs the question on who appointed an unqualified attorney to hear issues relating to violation by WSBA members?

According to the WSBA public records officer, Ms. O’Dell was handpicked by another shyster from Spokane, attorney Joseph Nappi Jr. Mr. Nappi’s investigative file and his cash only deals with clients will be discussed in another investigative blog coming soon.

Attorney Lin O’Dell, using convicted killer Mark Plivilech to intimidate elderly vulnerable clients

Now, on its face this may not seem too bad in the scheme of things, but lets add in this bit of facts. Lin O’Dell’s background was searched extensively, and what we yielded was that she shacked up with a convicted killer named Mark Plivilech and extensive IRS and other financial problems. YES our readers are reading this correctly; WSBA attorney and hearing officer Lin O’Dell’s partner of choice is a convicted killer.

If a WSBA hearing officer having a convicted killer as her partner of choice doesn’t sound bad enough, hold onto your seats because we have some more wonderful news.

According to internal court declarations and an extensive background check our investigators ran on Mark Plivilech, Lin O’Dell acting as a guardian for elderly vulnerable adults – many bed ridden elderly Americans- listed killer Mark Plivilech as a “case manager” on twenty (22) of her elderly clients’ accounts.

Once I learned that a convicted killer was acting as a case manager on vulnerable adults accounts, I called the Washington State Attorney General’s Office asking one simple question ” Can a convicted killer serve as a case manager on vulnerable or elderly Washingtonians trust account s or as a guardian ad litem?”

The Washington State Attorney General’s Office started laughing, for which I said ” No, I am serious.” The phone became silent for a minute and the attorney general said ” NO, absolutely not !” very loudly.

Attorney Lin O’Dell has stolen $3,000,000.00 + from the Shank Trust Account, and was caught forging documents

Court documents show that at the time of Norma Shank’s death, The Shank Trust had almost $4,000,000.00, at the end of 2011.

Paula Fowler is from Idaho, and how and why she came into contact with a thief and attorney named Lin O’ Dell can best be described by one of her closest friends who said ” Paula went into Colville attorney Pruitt Hamm’s office for a divorce, and came out with as a guardian ward. But not before Pruitt Hamm made exparte contacts with Lin O’Dell’s attorney in Idaho, Pamela Massey. Soon thereafter, Massey and O’Dell forged documents claiming that Ms. Fowler’s mother, Norma Shank, had revoked the first Shank Will written in 2000, and only after Norma Shank was diagnosed with dementia, did this new Will appear with the assistance of attorney Lin O’Dell, attorney Richard Wallace, and Idaho attorney Paula Massey.”

We reviewed the both Wills and believe all attorneys involved should be charged with criminal Racketeering as the Will’s metadata has been stripped ( to hide when and who wrote it)

Exploiting and stealing from our elderly vulnerable adults

The only living Will of Norma Shank was signed in 2000, leaving her entire estate worth well over $5,000,000.00 to Paula Fowler, with no trust. No trust until after Paula Fowler went into attorney Pruitt Hamm’s office for a divorce and came as a guardian of Lin O’Dell, and only after attorney Pruitt Hamm made phone calls to an attorney from Idaho named Pamela Massey. An attorney hired by Lin O’Dell to help siphon elderly and vulnerable clients trust accounts through nursing homes in Spokane and drug rehab centers in Idaho.

Attorney Pamela Massey and Lin O’Dell were contacted for comment. As of today, both have refused.

According to attorney Pruitt Hamm’s attorney bills in the Fowler matter; no sooner did Paula Fowler leave Pruitt’s office seeking a divorce, Pruitt Hamm was on the phone with Idaho attorney Pamela Massey ( an Idaho attorney who represents Lin O’Dell). Once Pruitt Hamm learned that Paula Fowler was worth well over $5,000,000.00, he conspired with attorney Lin O’Dell and Pamela Massey to steal from a vulnerable adult.

Over the last three years, attorneys Lin O’Dell and Pamela Massey have stolen over $3,000,000.00 + from Paula Fowler, but not without the assistance of the Washington State Bar lead counsel Linda Eide.

Lin O’Dell forging documents, and has stolen over $3,000,000.00 +, but Lin O’Dell did not act alone

Court records from Pamela Massey’s Office in Idaho confirm that Lin O’Dell depleted non-Washington resident Paula Fowler’s trust accounts ( known as a Shank Trust, Wells Fargo, Idaho) to provide ” legal fees, at legal representation.”

There’s only problem for attorney Lin O’Dell, she is not an Idaho attorney. Our counsel said ” a non attorney cannot provide legal representation without a license.”

From records we retrieved from Stevens County Court, in December 2011, the Shank Trust had $3,900,000.00 plus dollars in the account with no forensic accounting ever given to Ms. Fowler or the Court, even though Lin O’Dell was ORDERED to provide such documents to the Court by. A court order Ms. O’Dell continues to thumb her nose at, while she continues to steal from Ms. Fowler but not without the assistance of the Washington State Bar lead counsel Linda Eide.

Lin O’Dell stealing Ms. Fowler’s assets, using convicted killer to intimidate Ms. Fowler

As we correctly stated, attorney Lin O’Dell is crossing state lines, from Washington to Idaho, using her convicted killer Mark Plivilech to steal and threaten vulnerable clients.

As the alleged “trustee” Lin O’Dell is supposed to be paying Paula Fowler’s bills, housing, car, and food.

For nearly four months in early 2014, Lin O’Dell refused to provide basic shelter for Ms. Fowler ( as the Shank Trust mandates) leaving Ms. Fowler living in a truck at a truck stop.

Imagine your parents leave you a $5,000,000.00 trust, and the alleged trustee refuses to provide you shelter, leaving you homeless, because several outstanding members of the Washington State Bar forged documents and stole millions, what would you do?

File WSBA complaints for fraud and theft? And that’s exactly what Paula Fowler did, and who received that WSBA complaints was WSBA lead counsel Linda Eide. Ms. Eide’s criminal conduct as exposed by attorney Robert Grunstein was exposed in his book ” Vendetta” and will be discussed in detail in another investigative blog coming soon.

Linda Eide’s criminal conduct against the Gold Bar Reporter will be discussed at length in my book ” No sunshine where the cockroaches roam” in my last chapter ( still being written) ” Reforming the Washington State Bar, taking politics out of the practice of law.”

Judge Patrick Monasmith, a man with integrity, orders court officer Joseph Valente to investigate attorney Lin O’Dell

Court mandated investigator Joseph Valente findings against attorney Lin O’Dell

Just to make sure our readers understand fully what’s going on here, see above. Lin O’Dell tells the Court that Paula Fowler needs a guardian because she has an abusive ex-husband who controls her, but then writes a check to attorney Clark Peterson ( now Judge Clark Peterson, Idaho), to defend Ms. Fowler’s soon to be ex-husband in a criminal felony vulnerable adult charge filed in Idaho for abusing Paula Fowler’s ( nee Shank) mother Norma Shank.

But hold onto your seats because it’s much better – if you can believe it !

Not only did attorney Lin O’Dell write a check to Ms. Fowler’s soon to be ex-husband’s private attorney to defend against criminal felony charges for elder abuse of Ms. Fowler’s mother ( the one who started the 5 Million dollar trust for Paula Fowler also known as Shank Trust ), but Lin O’Dell uses Norma Shank’s trust account to write a $5000.00 check to attorney Clark Peterson, Idaho, and $250.00 to attorney Dick Sayre ( for a consultation, pretty harmless on Sayre’s and Peterson’s part more likely than not) to defend the man who was just charged with felony elderly abuse.

We’re not sure about our readers, but we’re just not sure how paying an Idaho attorney to defend against elder abuse of Paula Fowler’s mother, Norma Shank, benefited the Norma Shank Trust. But if our readers have any idea, please email those to us at GoldBarReporter@Comcast.net

Imagine someone steals from you and then having the court order you to pay for the defendant’s criminal defense counsel. With no surprise this is exactly what attorney Lin O’Dell did in this matter.

Lin O’Dell, a criminal with a license to steal, a stellar example in favor of reforming the WSBA

The fact that Lin O’Dell and killer Mark Plivilech were using a USPS Post Office Box in Duvall Washington to accept financial pay offs from Snohomish County’s bum who killed 43 Oso residents, John E. Pennington, and his convicted bank frauding wife Crystal Hill ( nee Berg, bank fraud 2005), is coming to a US Federal Court soon.

Thank you retired USPS Postmaster, you’re a fine lady

Gold Bar activist files a Federal Trade Complaint against Washington State Bar

September 8, 2015 by goldbarreporter 2 Comments

Re: North Carolina Board of Dental Examiners v Federal Trade Commission (FTC)

Dear FTC-

I’d like to file an anti-trust complaint against the WA State Bar Association. About six years ago, I started reporting on corruption inside local government agencies here in Washington State on www.goldbarreporter.com For over six years as a member of the media who was also a member of the WA State Bar, most readers never really knew that I held a WSBA License in Washington State, until a political appointee ( non-client) John E. Pennington filed a WSBA complaint against my WA State license.

Since Mr. Pennington was not a client but a political appointee who we had been reporting on for child and spousal abuse, I had no reason to believe that the WA State Bar had any jurisdiction in this matter. Later I learned that the person at the WA State Bar Office of Disciplinary (ODC) that John Pennington filed a Bar complaint with at the WSBA is also a mutual political friend of his named Linda Eide. Linda Eide is a first relative to a Senator Tracy Eide. Tracy Eide is a very good friend to the so called grievant, John E. Pennington. Both Tracy Eide and Pennington served inside the WA State Legislature together during the late 1990s.

From July to November 2013, I answered the WA State lead counsel Linda Eide’s request for comment with affirmative defenses (1) No client; (2) a political appointee subject to First Amendment protected free speech and (3) no jurisdiction over my Gold Bar Reporter news files ( RCW 5.68.010). The allegation under (3) came only after Linda Eide issued an illegal subpoena for “ all Gold Bar Reporter files relating to John Pennington” a non-client.

Oh course I objected pursuant to ELC 5.5 on First Amendment grounds, RCW 5.68.010 ( only a court can issue a subpoena for media files not the WSBA ODC) and WA State Const. prohibition against going after citizens ( lawyer or not) on issues that amount to “ private affairs.” ELC 5.5 mandated that Linda Eide suspend the deposition and subpoena des tecum until she could obtain a court order, but she continued with the deposition. This occurred in December 2013, and then by Feb 2014, she later changed the charge to “ You didn’t show up to a deposition.”

I have never had a complaint filed against my Bar license by a client, and up until 2013, I would never have believed that the WA State Bar ODC would conduct themselves in a way that I believe violates Sherman Antitrust laws until I read FTC v. North Carolina Board Dental Examiners case.

In Feb 2014, ignoring years of precedent mandating that the Bar stay out of my private affairs, the WA State Bar issued a formal complaint against my license. By March 2014, an attorney named Lin O’Dell was assigned as the hearing officer on my case. At no time did O’Dell allow me to place any documents into the record and worked with lead counsel Linda Eide to stop me from deposing the grievant John E. Pennington.
In June 2014, I had my private investigators investigate Lin O’Dell. We learned that O’Dell had been cited by Judge Monasmith in Stevens County Superior Court for stealing from a vulnerable adult named Paula Shank ( Fowler).
In July 2014, I also learned WSBA Hearing Officer Lin O’Dell also purchases elderly clients homes for pennies.
In July 2014, I learned that Lin O’Dell takes her convicted killer boyfriend Mark Plivilech to clients homes with her to intimidate clients.
In July 2014, I learned that Lin O’Dell’s convicted killer boyfriend Mark Plivilech set up a post office box within three blocks from the grievant John Pennington home, even thougth O’Dell lives in Spokane ( an eight hour round trip drive from Spokane to Duvall WA to retrieve her US mail).
Also learned that Lin O’Dell and Chief WSBA Hearing Officer Joseph Nappi Jr have a scam going whereas O’Dell picks up clients from nursing homes and drug rehabs depletes her clients trust accounts and then send clients to WSBA Chief Hearing Officer Joseph Nappi Jr’s to probate.
Paula Fowler’s estate appears to have hundreds of thousands of dollars missing with no explanation from O’Dell as to why she is charging Ms. Fowler’s estate legal rates for legal representation when in fact O’Dell is not licensed in Idaho where Ms. Fowler lives. ( I looked at Guardian pay rate which appears to be around $70 per hour but O’Dell charged around 10K per month to Fowler’s 2 M trust).
We also learned that Mark Plivilech appears to be stealing elderly clients identity and billing elderly clients of O’Dell’s to put unnecessary additions to their homes ( keeping in mind most of O’Dell’s clients are elderly bed ridden).

The above allegations were submitted to the WA State Bar as a complaint against attorney Lin O’Dell, who I believe was accepting bribes from John Pennington using a US Post Office Box in Duvall Washington to ensure that I would be disbarred strictly for reporting on John Pennington’s criminal conduct up here in Snohomish County Washington.

After reading the FTC v. Board of Dental Examiners I believe the WA State Bar is not supervised by its governing body ( Supreme Court) and has violated Sherman Anti-trust laws. I know this to be true because the Supreme Court Clerk Carpenter was contacted asking the Justices if they knew what was going on inside the WA State Bar Office of Disciplinary Counsel and his response was something like “ The Supreme Court does not bother themselves with the Office of Disciplinary Counsel”

The WA State Bar ODC members are active market participants attempting to stifle competition by disbarring members who question government agency employees. Almost 80 % of all ODC members are market active participants who are misusing their positions inside the elite Boards to stop and stifle competition. The Supreme Court of WA who is supposed to be supervising the ODC members admits in an email that they are not.

I wish to proceed with a formal complaint against the WA State Bar for Sherman Anti-trust violations.

SENATOR ZARELLI’S SISTER * * ARRESTED BY SNOHOMISH COUNTY DRUG TASK FORCE ON AUGUST 15, 2015, ERROUNOUSLY TRANSFERED BY MARK ROE TO SPOKANE COUNTY AS A POLITICAL FAVOR TO FORMER SENATOR.

JUST MORE EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OUR CONTENTION THAT MARK ROE IS MISUSING HIS OFFICE TO FURTHER HIS OWN POLITICAL AMBITIONS

Snohomish County Prosecutor, Mark Roe’s emails confirm he’s quashing criminal charges for political officials. Politics or Racketeering? We’ll let our readers be the judge

Since 2008, I have been investigating Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe for corruption after I received public records from Snohomish County via RCW 42.56 ( Public Records Act) confirming beyond any shadow of a doubt that Mark Roe was and still is quashing criminal charges as a political favors to Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon and his political bum, John E. Pennington.

John E. Pennington, payroll records document that he’s been on paid administrative leave since he caused 43 people in Washington State’s most preventable nature disaster, also known as the Oso mudslides, to suffocate to death. Two sources inside Snohomish County stated that he’s desperately looking for a job before the next executive tosses Aaron Reardon’s left over trash to the curb. John Pennington is a political appointee of the disgraced Aaron Reardon.

WE STAND BY OUR STORY AND POSTINGS, FACTS THAT JOHN E. PENNINGTON HAS NEVER DENIED

In late March 2015, we learned that Mr. Pennington finally realized what documents we have in our possession as it relates to our stories accusing him of being a pedophile.

Molesting two boys during a church camping trip in San Diego.
He is a prime suspect in the rape of a five year old child from Cowlitz County.
A drawing provided by one of John Pennington’s under age victims, we do not feel comfortable posting the eight year child’s drawings. But in a nutshell, the drawings are a picture of John Pennington in front of his home ( very big oversized man around fifty), a small female ( could be a mistress or one of his four wives) , and two minor children, one with her clothes on, and the eight year old little girl stark naked with her private areas drawn exposed.
A court declaration submitted to King County also affirms that John Pennington was caught taking stark naked showers with a six year old little girl. The witness statement affirms that as John Pennington exited the shower, the witness affirms that Pennington’s penis was hung at eye length with the little girl.
Out of fear for the minor child, who have ample reason to believe John Pennington has isolated in her own bedroom to gain access to her, we will not post the drawings. However, since John Pennington is being sued for RICO violations, we may ask the court to “seal the records” to protect the minor the child.

John Pennington has NEVER DENIED a single allegation above. If someone published that I was a pedophile I’d file suit the same day. ” Based on the totality of the records we collected, John E. Pennington is a pedophile.”

It’s taken me almost seven years to piece this crazy puzzle together, but a couple of weeks ago I finally obtained the missing link to say ” Prosecutor Mark Roe and several of his prosecutors are guilty of criminal racketeering, in my opinion..”

Here’s how it all started, and why this attorney resigned from the Washington State Bar and became one of the most hated journalist in Washington State and is now working with hundreds of lawyers to reform the Washington State Bar. Proudly, reporting the real news.

Introduction: ” The only way to stop the spread of cancer is with chemotherapy ( aggressively)

Those of you know me know that I’ve been on the east coast trying to finish up my book ” No sunshine where the cockroaches roam.” A true story involving a single mother who worked full time on third shift, while at the same time attended university classes during the day, had her life threatened by Snohomish County Prosecutor Sean Reay, and most recently learned that a Washington State Bar Hearing named Lin O’Dell is directly connected to a man named C. Fleck ( convicted by FBI for stolen cars and drug trafficking) via his attorney Susan Embre who tried to drive me off Ben Howard Road in Monroe in October 2014.

More on Susan Embree’s involvement will be posted at a later date by another activist from Spokane.

Also, from US postal records, we also have reason to believe that attorney Lin O’Dell was also accepting bribes from John E. Pennington ( former FEMA and Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management political appointee) and his child abusing bank frauding wife Crystal Hill Pennington ( who also used an alias of Berg).

Life changing events make us stronger, and as an Atheist, I believe Charles Darwin was right

My life changed when I requested access to public records ( 2008) from Gold Bar’s then Mayor Crystal Hill ( who at the time had plead to bank fraud for passing bad checks). At the time I had no idea that Crystal Hill was engaged several extramarital affairs with several public officials in Snohomish County, Washington.

Crystal Hill’s extramarital affairs were so plentiful that Gold Bar’s new Mayor Joe Beavers screamed three times in Executive meetings ( after Crystal Hill threatened to sue the City of Gold Bar if they released public emails) ” Crystal Hill is whore! Crystal Hill is whore! Crystal Hill is whore! ”

I seldom agree with Joe Beavers on any issue, but after reading Crystal Hill’s emails pursuant to RCW 42.56 ( Public Records Act), I do on this one. 100 % for certain. I also believe Mark Roe was also sleeping with Hill, as was Gold Bar’s former police chief, former Executive Aaron Reardon, and John Pennington all were.

All married men. I take no position about extramarital affairs other than to say ” they are unfit for public service.” With Mark Roe’s internal extramarital affair with Snohomish County Prosecutor Lisa Paul still causing political problems inside Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office, I consider Mark Roe to be a pig.

Hence why I titled chapter 7 of my book ” No sunshine where the cockroaches roam” , ” Who let the pigs out? Welcome to Snohomish County, Washington!”

If a person can’t hold true to marriage vows, I have no use nor trust for them, and I correctly labeled Mark Roe a pig also known as unclean meat.

I make no distinction between a male whore and a female whore, I despise and have zero respect for conduct I consider to be disgraceful and unfit for public service.

In 2006, I led the campaign to Elect John Edwards for US President. However, once I learned that he too had engaged in extramarital affairs, I became a delegate for Hillary Clinton. John Edwards is no less a pig as is Mark Roe, Aaron Reardon, John Pennington, and Crystal Hill.

Before I start detailing what I know from gaining access to public records, I’d first I’d like to say for the record, ” I have never been sued for libel, slander, or defamation.”

Why is simple: the truth is an affirmative defense.

For those reading this blog, I suspect You may not enjoy my writings, but as my mother always said ” I’m not here to cater to you or any one person.” Or as I say ” The First Amendment means more to me than any other tangible item on this planet, and I took an oath to protect it against all invaders, foreign and domestic.”

In 2004, Professor Prygoski said “You are going to initiate change where change is needed.” Until December 2013 I never really understood what he meant, but that all changed when I uncovered the largest corruption scandal in Washington State history, and at the center of the rotten onion is the Washington State Bar Association, mainly those connected to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel, as well as those inside Washington State county offices.

Snohomish County Prosecutors Sean Reay, Seth Fine, Sean Reay’s wife Twinsdale, and Mark Roe should all be charged with criminal racketeering.

There’s only problem for little GP, John Pennington’s friend from Special Investigations was assigned to investigate Crystal Hill’s child abuse, because the police chief in Gold Bar was engaged in an extramarital affair with Crystal Hill at the time. Ah those pesky public emails. . . .

In November 2008, a physician’s report confirmed beyond any shadow of a doubt that Gold Bar’s Mayor Crystal Hill ( who used an alias of Berg) violently assaulted, leaving extensive bruises on the arms of a six year old child.

The events took place at the home of Crystal Hill ( nee Berg) located on First Ave in Gold Bar, Washington. Instead of prosecuting Crystal Hill for child abuse, as he should have, Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe entered in an bribery ( correction, originally posted extortion, accidentally) scheme to quash the criminal charges against Crystal Hill as a favor to former Executive Aaron Reardon and John E. Pennington. Again, In 2008, Mark Roe wanted to be Prosecutor so bad, he was doing political favors for political bums like Aaron Reardon and John Pennington.

Pennington Redmond Police reports charging John Pennington is criminal assaulting a third trimester pregnant woman.

Lovick approved concealed weapons permit But then John Pennington gets his carry permit back with criminal charges from Executive John Lovick, even though John Pennington is a King County resident, not a Snohomish County resident. Fraud?

So why is Mark Roe protecting a child abuser and brank frauder named Crystal Hill Pennington (nee Berg) and a pedophile named John E. Pennington?

We believe the answer is simple: Mark Roe wanted to be prosecutor (2008) and felt that he needed the political backing of then Executive Aaron Reardon. At the same time one source said “John E. Pennington and Aaron were passing around Mayor Crystal Hill like a door mat. She was sleeping her way to the top as any whore would and does.”

Some of my readers have suggested that exposing this is nothing more than vindictiveness, but I say ” this conduct causes corruption and must be exposed regardless of the cost to one’s self.”

We have read over 20,000 records involving Crystal Hill and do not disagree with the above statements, and even Gold Bar’s former Mayor Joe Beavers said when discussing Crystal Hill’s emails ” Crystal Hill is whore! Crystal Hill is whore! Crystal Hill is whore!”

When hearing Gold Bar’s Mayor Joe Beavers believed that Crystal Hill was whore, I knew that he ( Beavers) must have reviewed some pretty good emails to make a public statement that Crystal Hill was whore. To the best of knowledge, Joe Beavers has never been sued for calling Crystal Hill a whore, as we have not.

In 2013, Gold Bar’s new Mayor Linda Loen also stated after reading emails ” Crystal Hill is a slim ball!”

Joe Beavers admission that Crystal Hill is whore prompted more public records and interviews with county employees confirming that Crystal Hill was sleeping with Aaron Reardon, John Pennington, Gold Bar’s former police chief, and it appears Mark Roe.

And had the City of Gold Bar simply complied with some very simple records requests, I wouldn’t be exposing Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office and its officers for what I believe ( and have evidence of) is criminal racketeering.

At the center of the Racketeering (RICO) is not only Snohomish County Prosecutors, but also the Washington State Bar Office of Disciplinary Counsel members ( Linda Eide, Lin O’Dell, Joseph Nappi Jr., Geoffrey Gibbs, and Seth Fine).

The ” Little RICO gang ” didn’t do it without the assistance of Snohomish County attorneys affiliated with Gibbs.

Washington State attorney General’s Office said that Attorney Geoffrey Gibbs’s conduct amounted to fraud. See http://www.snocoreporter.com. but then manages to receive the largest contract with Snohomish County.

More on Gibbs later, but I will say Geoffrey Gibbs is a Washington State Board member involved in a lot of shady shit up here in Snohomish County and the main reason why Snohomish County yields about 44 % of all disbarred lawyers in Washington State. Almost all minorities.

I have read enough public records to know the corruption runs through the Washington Court of Appeals, and I had the courage to affirmatively place their names in my previous posts. As I will continue to do from afar.

Washington State Bar Office of Disciplinary Counsel sued again under RICO, JURY DEMANDED

May 20, 2015 by goldbarreporter 4 Comments

Washington State Bar Office of Disciplinary Counsel and those associated with the Office sued again under RICO. I believe this makes # 4 this year for Our stellar employees operating inside the WA State Bar Office of Disciplinary Counsel and it’s Boards.

Corrupt Washington’s Chief Activist, and honorable citizen here in Washington, Bill Schiedler filed suit against the Washington State Bar citing gross RICO violations. Over the last year, the Washington State Bar Association has been sued at least five times that we know of, and at least four suits involving Racketeering allegations.

My mother always said ” if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, its probably a duck.” We tried on at least five occasions to obtain comment from the Washington State Bar Association with no response. However, if someone from the Washington State Bar Association does respond, we will post their comments without censorship.

Until then, we say, silence implies guilt and Mr. Schiedler has exposed yet another pattern of conduct that is unbecoming of any organization. From our year long investigation of the the Washington State Bar we feel comfortable calling the Washington State Bar a criminal organization, or as correctly posted in March 2015, ” a few small members are making criminals out of non-criminals and we do everything in our power to peacefully stop these RICO gang members regardless of the cost.”

Bill Schiedler alleges : As members of the Washington State Bar Association, they become liable for its wrongdoing, and therefore are indirect defendants in the cases. The Ninth Circuit has already ruled in Marshall v. WSBA, Pope v. WSBA, and Scannell v. WSBA, that this conflict requires disqualification.

The racketeering enterprise, within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. Section 1961, is an association called the WA State Bar Association [Bar or WSBA]. The Bar is “indistinguishable” and for all practical purposes has commandeered WA State’s judicial branch;

The Bar has a distinct structure based on the essential functions of decision-making, regulation, lobbying, rule making, discipline, finance, advertising;has employed numerous employees in order to discharge the functions noted above.

c. has recorded fraudulent documents and promulgated rules and regulations to organize the enterprise and insure its continued operation under the color of law.requires its associates to invest in the enterprise by mandatory fees and adherence to their directives. the COMMON PURPOSE of the enterprise is (1) to defraud; and (2) to extort citizens of their money, rights, and property by having associates of the enterprise occupy government positions, including on WA State and Federal Courts, and by having “plenary” powers over all its associates to extort their required performance and the required investment back into the enterprise thru dues and performance.

The Bar, by its Rules for Enforcement of Lawyer Conduct 1.2, reaches to every part of the country to influence the “customs and practices” of legal services provided. “Disciplinary authority exists regardless of the lawyer’s residency or authority to practice law in this state. A lawyer may be subject to the disciplinary authority of both this jurisdiction and another jurisdiction for the same conduct.” Additionally, the Bar, in breach of its fiduciary duty owed to the public, operates in the insurance markets by “case fixing” to influence insurance rates and premiums for itself, its members and its clients. This has a ripple effect throughout the financial industry across the United States.

I must admit when I first saw the first paragraph of Mr. Schiedler complaint, I said ” wow, he’s onto to something here with affecting interstate commerce with their RICO activities.” For those of you who did not got to law school, it appears as though Bill Schiedler is arguing that the WA State Bar is guilty of violating interstate commerce by its RICO activities.

RICO complaints are criminal in nature.

The modus operandi by which “case fixing” is accomplished is in the broad policy of the Bar’s disciplinary board to “ignore” lawyers’ obligations to “truth and honor” and “never seek to mislead a judge or jury”. Said another way, “case fixing” is simply giving the judge or jury the opportunity to believe in a lie. This “failure to hold lawyers” to the law RCW 48.210 – has created the means and opportunity for lawyers to achieve “unjust outcomes” that would not occur if lawyers were held to the law as the WSBA is tasked to do.

Yes indeed, Bill Schiedler is right on the issue of Washington State Bar Office of Disciplinary Counsel “fixing” cases. Late last year, the WA State Bar provided public records involving Chief Hearing Officer Joseph Nappi Jr sending an email letter to David Thorner ( Yakima) asking him to show other WA Bar Hearing Officers how to fix cases before trial. All this was done at an in person secret meeting inside Joseph Nappi Jr.’s law office located in Spokane Washington at the Law Office of Ewing & Anderson.

In addtion, late last year Gold Bar Reporter Anne Block discovered via public records that Duvall Washington residents Crystal Hill Pennington and John E Pennington set up a post office box with a Washington State Hearing a officer Lin O’ Dell and her convicted killer boyfriend Mark Plivilech for the purpose of bribing$$ Spokane attorney Lin O’Dell to fix a complaint Crystal Hill Pennington and John E Pennington filed against Block attempting to SLAPP down the Gold Bar Reporters first amendment protected activity “free speech” message and statutory rights under RCW 42.56.

Attorney Lin O’ Dell and John and Crystal ( née Berg, and Hill) Pennington are being sued under RICo as well. John E. Pennington was fired from Snohomish County in March 2015 after his emails released documented that John Pennington was using a man named Steve to stalk Gold Bar Reporter Anne Block. A source stated that John Pennington fled the State of Washington in early April 2015, but the sociopath was recently seen in Shoreline District Court.

Bill also mentions a new comer to us who recently learned that Seattle law firm, The Christie Law Group, whose founder, Robert Christie — admitted to membership in the Federation of Defense & Corporate Counsel and chaired the substantive law section on Civil Rights and Public Entity Liability, responsible for authoring periodic

newsletters to section members and substantive articles for the FDCC In August
2013 he was elected as one of nine directors to the He has served as an instructor
at the FDCC’s Litigation Management College — markets its services as “Court Rule 56”

What does this mean … within the context that the legal profession is nothing but a “a private club” that is unaccountable for its conduct – a consequence in the breakdown inherent in self-regulation – these “rules, newsletters, strategies, tactics, customs and practices” which Robert Christie demands others hold in “high praise” are only judged by Scheidler’s RICO Statement. Case 3:12-cv-05996-RBL Document 58-11 Filed 05/18/15 Page 5 of 34

1 themselves – Society is EXCLUDED from this club and how the tactics Christie espouses
2 harms society. There is NO independent basis to conclude anything Christie and the FDCC devise merit acceptancy by society. This lobbying outfit FDCC describes itself by its members, who are:

(1) practicing lawyers actively engaged in the private practice of law who devote a substantial amount of their professional time to the representation of insurance companies, associations or other corporations, or others, in the defense of civil litigation and have been a member of the bar for at least eight years; or (2) corporate counsel and other executives engaged in the administration or defense of claims or for insurance companies, associations, or corporations who have national, regional or company-wide responsibility for a company of greater than local significance.

In contrast to the touted success of Christie, there are about 3000 grievances filed against lawyers with the WA State Bar every year claiming Lawyers are in breach of their rules and the law. These grievances are dismissed as routine.

The “nexus” between “court rules and case fixing and the Bar Disciplinary scheme” is evident in the numbers and the advertising alone. It doesn’t hurt that Chief WA State Bar hearing officer Joseph Nappi Jr. Stated it in his public emails. “Stupid it is as stupid does”

Another RICO suit against the Washington State Bar will be filed on June 14, 2015, as Flag Day represents honoring our Country’ s absolute right to “free speech” and “freedom of the press” without government nor private party interfereence with no exceptions.

Block claims that her next next RICO will will be an all star performance with a pedophile, a corrupt police from Duvall Washington, a WA State Bar Hearing Officer who is accepting bribes to fix cases by using her convicted killer boyfriend to threaten people and retrieve any pay offs from so called WA Bar grievants, and a Gold Bar Washington Mayor Linda Loen.

UPDATE: WASHINGTON STATE SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS WSBA’s DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING AGAINST ATTORNEY KATHYRN ABELE FOR FILING POLICE REPORT AGAINST SEATTLE POLICE OFFICER WHO TRIPPED HER

First I’d like our readers to know that the WSBA has been contacted over and over again seeking comment for our articles.

Since the publication of this article, the Washington State Bar’s lead counsel Linda Eide, Scott Busby, Doug Ende, Lin O’Dell, Joseph Nappi Jr., Seth Fine, and Geoffrey Gibbs have all been sued for RICO violations. All were contacted for comment, and all as of today have refused. As such, we stand by our articles as being ” right on target.”

Welcome to Washington State, where corruption inside government offices seems to be the way of life. But not so fast because the Gold Bar Reporters are here.

Over the last twelve months, we have been investigating several corrupt government officers including but not limited to Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe and Sean Reay, and Washington State Bar’s counsel Linda Eide and Lin O’ Dell after phone records link the Enterprise gang members to much bigger corruption scandal up here in Snohomish County.

It all started when Snohomish County’s unqualified bum , appointed by Aaron Reardon, John E. Pennington ran illegal backgrounds in violation of RCW 10.97 on several open government supporters in Snohomish County. John Pennington lost his Homeland Security Clearance as a result of such activity.

Last week another blogger from Snohomish County informed the Gold Bar Reporter that she found records between Senator Tracy Eide and pedophile John Pennington documenting that each were unlawfully using government resources to communicate electronically ( via email). This new find is “damaging” and will be released as Exhibits in John Pennington’s 42 USC 1983 complaint ( filed on Feb 18, 2014 in Washington Federal District Court).

Senator Tracy Eide is also related to RICO member and WSBA lead counsel Linda Eide. Ms. Linda Eide has been involved in at least 20 RICO related conspiracies involving criminal covering ups for pedophiles like John Pennington. According to another blogger ” she’s doing Senator Tracy Eide a huge favor because Pennington is like J. Edgar Hoover; he gains illegal access into a person’s personal files and then attempts to extort them with the information.”

This was not new news. We’ve been investigating pedophile John Pennington for the last five years, and here’s what we believe to be true:

John Pennington is the prime suspect in child rape case of a 5 yr old in Colwitz County; Pennington was kicked out a church in San Diego California after two boys stated that Pennington molested them during a church camping trip; Pennington hospitalized his ex-fiance ( thank you for following the Gold Bar Reporter Ms. Becker), Pennington beat up his pregnant wife # 3 in her third trimester of pregnancy, and misuses his position to run illegal background checks on citizens – a felony in Washington.

Mr. Pennington had his Homeland Security Clearance REVOKED after he illegally gained access into his ex-wife # 3 boyfriend’s “sealed” court records and then used Snohomish County fax machines to disseminate the illegally obtained files into his King County Washington divorce proceedings.

Last month we promised our readers that we would issue our findings after the Gold Bar Reporters researched 20 disbarred or suspended Washington State attorneys. In each case, all but one attorney who have been disbarred or suspended crossed paths with a small group of Washington State Bar Board of Governor members, mainly from the Law Office of Anderson Hunter, located in Everett, Washington and Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office, and/or the Washington State’s Attorney General Office (AG).

Because we are planning to file a RICO complaint in this matter, we will only post the names of 5 disbarred or suspended lawyers who have been retaliated against after they complained about an agency employee or a member of WSBA’s elite Board members ( who use WSBA counsel Linda Eide when they cannot win cases on their own merit or ethically). The remaining 15 WSBA members who were disbarred or suspended who came in contact with lead counsel from the WSBA, Linda Eide and Doug Ende, will also be named as witnesses. But at a much later date.

ATTORNEY JOHN SCANNELL

Attorney John Scannell disbarred only after he filed a WSBA complaint against former Attorney General Christine Gregoire. John Scannell is running for WA State Supreme Court against Christine Gregoire’s friend, Debra Stevens.

STATEMENT OF THE CASE

In 2000, Ms. Gregoire was the Washington state Attorney General who missed a simple deadline for filing a lawsuit costing Washington State taxpayers 19 million dollars. This was the largest legal blunder ever caused by a sitting AG in United States history. Instead of Gregoire accepting responsibility for her legal malpractice, she blames the insurance company and blames attorney Janet L Capps.

In a press statement regarding the largest legal blunder ever committed against the taxpayers, Attorney General Gregoire stated: ” I’ll never miss another deadline…” However, then sitting Governor Gary Locke said “She’s taken a lot of corrective steps to make sure that never happens again and I applaud her for that.”

But just three years later, and after spending over $1.2 million dollars to install a calendar system to prevent such blunders, another assistant Attorney General Scott Lockwood was disciplined for blowing another Attorney General filing deadline. This legal blunder assisted specifically attorney Michael Kenyon’s client, the City of North Bend, win a default judgment eliminating a nearby North Bend parcel of land from the state’s short list of potential halfway-house sites. A favor or Racketeering?

See http://snohomishcountycorruption.wordpress.com/tag/pridemore/

Because Christine Gregoire is a licensed Washington State Bar member who is mandated by Rules of Professional Conduct to supervise junior associates, attorney John Scannell, filed a bar complaint against Christine Gregoire. A complaint that was mainly ignored, only after Office of Disciplinary Counsel and Board of Governors learned that Christine Gregoire was running for governor.

Once Ms. Gregoire become Washington State’s new governor, the Washington State Bar’s investigative file of her disappeared, and she used her new political capital to go after attorney John Scannell for filing a bar complaint agianst her.

At the time the Washington State Bar decided to assist Governor Gregoire’s retaliation against attorney John Scannell for filing a bar complaint ( for Gregoire’s gross legal malpractice that should have resulted in an immediate disbarment), three of Snohomish County’s top political players were on Washington State Bar’s Board of Governors.

The 3 WSBA Board Members who illegally profited from quashing the WSBA complaint against Christine Gregoire are:

1. Snohomish County Commissioner Geoffrey Gibbs, an attorney from the law firm of Anderson Hunter.

2. Attorney Robert Leach, from the Law Office of Anderson Hunter.

3. Robert Leach’s wife, attorney Vicki Norris, another employee from the law firm of Anderson Hunter.

Once Christine Gregoire became Washington State ‘s Governor in 2004, Robert Leach received a political appointment from Ms. Gregoire to an open seat inside Snohomish County’s Superior Court. As a result of Robert Leach’s loyalty in assisting Gregoire with dismissing a valid Washington State Bar complaint, in 2010, Governor Gregoire appointed Robert Leach to an open seat on the Washington Court of Appeals Div. I.

At the time of Robert Leach’s appointment, he had almost no experience in the practice of law. Leach remains Washington State’s least qualified political judicial appointment in Washington State’s history.

Attorney Geoffrey Gibbs received a permanent appointment as a Snohomish County Commissioner for his efforts in assisting Governor Gregoire with disposing of a valid bar complaint. This conduct equates to one of the largest RICO scandals in Washington State’s history.

ATTORNEY ROBERT GRUNSTEIN

Attorney Robert Grunstein disbarred only after he filed a WSBA complaint and sued a WSBA Board member named attorney Ronald Meltzer.

STATEMENT OF THE CASE
In 2007, Robert Grunstein’s mother was sick and dying. Attorney Ronald Meltzer was Ms. Grunstein’s legal administrator. A legal administrator is hired to look after their client’s best interests. When Robert Grunstein started investigating where his mother’s money disappeared to, he rightfully went to attorney Ronald Meltzer with questions. Instead, Grunstein was stonewalled and Meltzer refused to answer any questions as it related to thousands of dollars missing from his mother’s accounts. As a result, Grunstein sued Meltzer for breaching his fudiciary duties to his mother.

Attorney Meltzer used his friends inside the WSBA’s elite Board of Governors to go after Mr. Grunstein claiming he was practicing law without a license. At the time Robert Grunstein filed suit his WSBA license was ” inactive.” Meltzer never denied stealing thousands of dollars from Mr. Grusntein’s mother, but instead he used his friend and WSBA’s lead RICO attorney Linda Eide to go after Grunstein’s WSBA license.

It’s gets even better, so hold onto your seat! WSBA’s LInda Eide then used Attorney Meltzer as a prime witness against Mr. Grunstein inside a WSBA disciplinary proceedings. That’s right, the WSBA’s lead RICO attorney Linda Eide called her friend and thief Ronald Meltzer to testify against a non-active attorney whose only crime was trying to stop Linda Eide’s friend and WSBA Board member Ronald Meltzer from stealing his mother’s money.

WSBA’s lead criminal counsel Linda Eide refused comment.

ATTORNEY PAUL SIMMERLY

Attorney Paul Simmerly disbarred only after he had the audacity to represent another attorney against the criminals inside the WSBA ODC.

STATEMENT OF THE CASE

Mr. Simmerly represented an attorney, Larry Botimer, who was eventually suspended for 6 months for trying to help an elderly woman being taken advantage of by one of her sons. Of course, Attorney Botimer was a sole-practitioner. The WSBA’s disbarment rate against solo practitioners is 99.7 %. There is no evidence that the WSBA has ever taken any action against an agency attorney in the last 25 years.
Mr. Simmerly sued this woman and her evil son on behalf of her other son ( the good son). The good son was trying to help his mother who claimed an interest in the business. The evil son had convinced the mother to transfer her stock in the business to him, as well as stock promised to the good son. The mother was legally competent, so the only way the good son and the mom could get control of the business that had been taken over by the evil son was to sue her and the evil son.

Mr. Simmerly subpoenaed Botimer as a witness. Botimer wrote a will for the mother and was a longtime family friend. The judge overruled opposing counsel’s objections and required Botimer to testify. The WSBA Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) did not like the fact that attorney Botimer obeyed the Court’s subpoena and erroneously claimed that Botimer disclosed confidences and secrets (Much like the Schafer case). Mr. Simmerly then took on Botimer’s discipline case as well.

The WSBA ODC did not like Mr. Simmerly’s aggressive style in defending attorney Botimer from the WSBA ODC criminals. The ODC just could never be bothered with closely examining the facts of the underlying civil case. Simply put, WSBA lead counsel Linda Eide is a lazy fuck.

Mr. Simmerly was also trying to help the elderly woman. During the course of the Botimer disciplinary proceeding, the WSBA ODC filed a Bar Grievance on Mr. Simmerly alleging that he filed a motion in the underlying civil case, where Botimer was a witness, to add to the findings and he gave notice to the defendant’s attorney instead of directly to the defendant in violation of a court rule.

Of course, you can’t contact a party directly when that party is represented by an attorney, but this was beyond the ODC’s comprehension. Simply put, the WSBA ODC members are not the sharpest tools in the shed. But after Mr. Simmerly pointed out many examples of how the court rule is universally ignored by all practicing attorneys in the Puget Sound area and judges, the ODC dismissed its Grievance against Mr. Simmlery.

Then the WSBA ODC, Linda Eide, illegally contacted the elderly woman to “solicit” the old frail elderly woman to file a WSBA Bar grievance against Mr. Simmerly because had encouraged the underlying litigation. Strike two!!!! That Grievance was also dismissed.

Then, a King County jury after a week-long trial awarded damages to Mr. Simmerly’s client and the elderly woman half. The elderly woman and her evil son were represented by the same attorney. The WSBA ODC determined that there was no conflict of interest. The trial Judge took the absolutely unprecedented action of taking the stock away from the evil son and awarding half of it to the elderly woman even though the evil son and the elderly woman were represented by the same attorney and there was no request for that relief that had been made in the case! If that is not a conflict of interest, there is no such thing. But it gets better.

After the trial, the elderly woman transferred her stock back to the evil son (they were still represented by the same attorney), and he continued to run the business into the ground. The WSBA ODC had inexplicably convinced the elderly woman that the evil son, and not Simmerly’s client, was the one who had her best interests at heart. So thanks to scums at the WSBA ODC, the elderly woman lost her million dollar business and her life’s work and life savings; she died penniless and she had nothing to pass on to her grandchildren. Attorney Botimer tried to help the frail elderly woman and she got fucked by the WSBA ODC RICO thugs.

More mindless conduct on the part of the ODC, but hey what’s new. Yet another case where the Hearing Officer merely rubber stamps the ODC’s allegations and another chapter for my book.

WSBA ODC Joseph Nappi Jr., Linda Eide, and Doug Ende refused comment about their illegal conduct as stated herein.

ATTORNEY MARJA STARCZEWSKI

Marja Starczeski was suspended from the practice of law after defending a women who was in a land dispute with Snohomish County Commissioner Geoffrey Gibbs. Geoffrey Gibbs was on the WSBA Board of Governors at the time he managed to get his WSBA ODC RICO gang to suspend Ms. Starczewski.

Robert Leach, also a WSBA Board of Governors member, represented Commissioner Gibbs and made an illegal contract with the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office for duel defense against a Snohomish County citizen that Gibbs stole land from.

A RICO complaint has been filed against Geoffrey Gibbs, Judge Robert Leach and the WA State Bar in US Federal District Court. Depositions will start soon.

UPDATE: More documents from the WSBA confirm that Geoffrey Gibbs’s had exparte contact with the WSBA as it relates to Marja Starczeski. This violates the WSBA Rules of Professional Conduct; Gibbs filed another WSBA complaint against Marja Starczeski with his WSBA ODC RICO thugs hoping to get her disbarred for asking a question during a CLE class.

Geoffrey Gibbs must have a large car, because the size of his brain appears to be small. We will not comment on Gibbs’s other body part because that would be a “low blow.’ But according to Gold Bar’s current Mayor Linda Loen, former Gold Bar Mayor Crystal Hill Pennington would be to the person to ask.
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
Marja Starczeski is one of the most ethical lawyers we ever had the pleasure of speaking with. Marja Starczeski represented a neighbor of Snohomish County Commissioner Geoffrey Gibbs’s tenants. Goeffrey Gibbs first lied about owning the diputed property and even violated WSBA basic conflict of interest rules prohibiting representation in any issue that a lawyer may personally and financially stand to receive a pecuniary interest.

But this is not the first time we caught Commissioner Geoffrey Gibbs engaging in illegal conduct up here in Snohomish County. In December 2012, Commissioner Geoffrey Gibbs held an exparte hearing on a Gold Bar Reporter without notice while she was out of the state visiting her dying father. If that wasn’t illegal enough, Geoffrey Gibbs also failed to state that he was a personal friend to Gold Bar’s city attorney Michael Kenyon.

Kenyon frustrated that he is losing the Gold Bar cases, enlisted his RICO friends inside the WSBA ODC to go after Gold Bar Reporter Block after public records she received documented that Michael Kenyon overbilled the City of Gold Bar residents over $50,000.00 for services never rendered.

In February 2013, Kenyon Dissend illegally billed Gold Bar residents over $1200.00 to file a frivolous WSBA complaint. According to public testimony by WSBA ODC’s lead criminal and Michael Kenyon’s friend Linda Eide’s statement to the ODC Chief Hearing Officer Jospeh Nappi Jr ” Ms. Block has NO prior complaints….” Ms. Eide filed a false statement, a matter for she will be sued under the Supreme Court’s holding in Kalina.

Laying a little foundation as it relates to Geoffrey Gibbs. Gibbs attempted to bully Marja Starczeski’s into settling the land dispute ( land that belongs to Carolyn Ryggs). Marja Starczeski represented Carolyn Ryggs. Ms. Ryggs, by and through her attorney, Marja Starczeski filed a federal RICO complaint against Commissioner Geoffrey Gibbs, Snohomish County Prosecutors, and Judge Robert Leach. All three attorneys had connections to the WSBA Board of Governors. All three refused comment.

When Marja Starczeski rightfully filed a RICO complaint against Gibbs, Robert Leach, and several others, the chicken shit little squirt Goeffrey Gibbs filed an anonymous WSBA complaint against Marja Starczeski. Simply because Marja Starczeski had the audacity to file a RICO suit against several agency employees who are engaged in stealing land from a life long Snohomish County elderly resident.

Once Geoffrey Gibbs filed the WSBA complaint with his friend and former Snohomish County Prosecutor Craig Bray (a WSBA ODC disciplinary counsel thug), Marja Starczeski was suspended from the practice of law for three years. Inspite of havng a direct conflict of interest in this case, attorney Craig Bray refused to recuse himself. A crime in Washington.

But how our good friends at the WBSA and Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office managed to get a complaint to stick was by offering one of Marja Starczeski’s clients a great plea deal if he agreed to file a WSBA complaint alleging that she did not call him with updates.

This same man was also charged with crimes inside Snohomish County that mysteriously disappeared after he assisted Snohomish County Commissioner Geoffrey Gibbs with getting Marja Starczeski suspended for three years.

Seems to be a pattern of conduct that if a lawyer refuses to settle a case by throwing their clients under the bus, Snohomish County enlists their RICO gang members at the WSBA ODC. Geoffrey Gibbs past legal record leads us to believe that he is not the sharpest tool in the shed. A man, like Michael Kenyon, who cannot win on his own merits/efforts. Kind of reminds us of a little child who loses at Monopoly and then flips the board game upside down so no one wins.

Two years later (2014), Marja Starczeski attended a CLE class in Wenatchee Washington taught by guess who? You got it, Geoffrey Gibbs. Again, an anonymous complaint was filed, and this time Geoffrey Gibbs’s friend Linda Eide and Doug Ende are seeking disbarment against poor Marja Starczeski for simply defending her client.

WSBA ODC’s lead criminal Linda Eide was contacted for comment this week and her response was to simply laugh. Yes, Ms. Eide laughed – a real salt of the earth sociopath, hence why she has gone out of her way to defend a pedophile, John E. Pennington ( the man who is responsible for causing the deaths of thousands of huricane Katrina residents and 44 Oso mudslide residents here in Snohomish County, Washington).

ATTORNEY KATHRYN ABELE

The WSBA ODC rubber stamped ODC Hearing Officer’s recommendation that attorney Kathryn Abele be suspended from the practice of law for one year for simply filing a criminal complaint against a police office in Seattle that “tripped” her.
STATEMENT OF THE CASE AND PROSECUTOR MISCONDUCT 100 % FOR SURE

Kathryn Abele is a very large and tall woman. She towers over 6 ‘ 4 ” tall, weighs over 250 pounds, and is severally hearing impaired. Ms. Abele is loud and abrasive. This three attributes are disbarrable under the current WSBA ODC’s old fucks who hold seats on the WSBA ODC, mainly appointed by Washington State’s most notorious RICO thug, attorney Joseph Nappi Jr.

We only mentioned Ms. Abele’s size because our source, who wishes to remain anonymous, stated ” Ms. Abele was always teased and tournamented by the Seattle PD when she appeared in King County.” A statement that took the Gold Bar Reporters a whole ten minutes to obtain, but the WSBA ODC refused to call this witness back when she called stating that “the Seattle PD was trying to frame Ms. Abele as a liar.”

Nothing new for our friends in blue.

The WSBA ODC prosecuted attorney Abele for filing a false report. Laughable shit! Since we here at the Gold Bar Reporters love public records, we sent the Seattle PD several records requests. What we received left us believing for the first time during the middle of the summer (2014) that the WSBA ODC is GUILTY of gross RICO violations, both criminal and civil, and the Seattle PD and Vanessa Norman should be criminally prosecuted for Brady violations.

The Seattle PD confirmed that Vanessa Norman illegally solicited WSBA complaints from over 50 members of the Seattle PD. This conduct is criminal and amounts to RICO violations. Ms. Norman refused comment.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brady_disclosure

The WSBA ODC illegally withheld several videos and records from Ms. Abele’s attorney in violation of Our Supreme Court’s holding in Brady. Our friends should not worry because we did not.

Kathryn Abele’s case is being appealed, and lets hope her attorney throws in “procedural misconduct” as grounds to obtain a new investigation by a fair, honest and impartial WSBA ODC members ( who are NOT connected to WSBA ODC gang members Doug Ende, John Nappi Jr., and/or Linda Eide).

Immediately after we requested the Seattle PD’s communication which relates to Ms. Abele, the officers involved resigned and moved to California.

We hope that Ms. Abele sues the shit out of the City of Seattle and the WSBA ODC for violating her civil rights, as we believe retaliation to be against the law.
The five above attorneys who the WSBA ODC retaliated against will be witnesses in the Gold Bar Reporters RICO complaint.

We did contact the Washington State Bar ODC Officer Joseph Nappi Jr, Linda Eide, Vanessa Norman, Doug Ende, and the Seattle officers who filed false reports against Ms. Abele. All six chicken shit liying agency employees refused comment.

Based on the totality of the evidence we reviewed, the Seattle PD and the WSBA ODC counsel filed false reports in direct retaliation for Ms. Abele’s filing a police report against an officer that tripped her simply because she is a large and voicetorious woman over the age of 50.

The above five WSBA members were all solo practitioners that the WSBA ODC went after to justify their existence.

Based on our extensive investigation including emails from Joseph Nappi Jr to a hearing officer telling him to teach others how to fix hearings prior to trial, Linda Eide’s destroying evidence in the Grunstein matter, Lin O’Dell using her convicted killer boyfriend to intimidate disabled clients and then setting up a US Post Office Box three blocks from so called grievants John and Crystal Hill Pennington’s home in Duvall ( while O’Dell and Plivilech live in Spokane County. From federal records, it appears that O’Dell and Plivilech enjoy those eight hour round trip drives from Spokane to Duvall to retrieve their US mail), and good ole Geoffrey Gibbs using his friends inside Snohomish County Courts to trump up criminal charges on poor Carolyn Ryggs, there’s ample evidence to call the WSBA ODC members mentioned herein “criminals.”

This report is being disseminated to over 36,000 WSBA members. Members who have a right to know how their monies are being misused and amount to RICO violations, both criminal and civil, in my opinion.

Our friends inside Snohomish County can thank John Pennington for our investigation.
