Washington State Bar Association gives the green light for prosecutors and Judge Edirin Okoloko to take and disseminate nude photos of county employee without her consent, overruling Washington State Legislature

In June 2018, Snohomish County Prosecutors Sean Reay, Erdwin Okoloko, C. Matt Hunter, Robert Grant, Christopher Dickinson, Jon Cummings, and Kirk Mahjoubian made a conscious decision to commit a felony, i.e. taking picture of a intoxicated female co-worker unclothed, and then disseminated that picture to various persons misusing a county cell phone ( as Jon Cummings is seen texting that picture to others on his county issued cell phone).

---

public records retrieved from Jon Cummings cell phone,

c. Matt Hunter, Robert Grant ( both Snohomish County prosecutors assigned to Dawson Place sexual assault unit) with two thumbs up referring to a intoxicated, unable to consent, naked female co-worker in the background

Jon Cummings caught on camera disseminating the nude photos Robert Grant, Kirk Mahjoubian and C. Matt Hunter unlawfully took and disseminated of an intoxicated female co-worker

---

The above pictures showing that c. Matt Hunter, Robert Grant and Kirk Mahjoubian  (who unlawfully took the picture without the female’s consent), were obtained by the Gold Bar Reporter under RCW 42.56 ( the Public Records Act).

Imagine, four Snohomish County Prosecutors, assigned to prosecute sexual assault crimes (mainly against women and children) are still allowed to work as prosecutors, or even retain their WSBA law licenses, after this story was published.

But it gets even worse. As a result of public records we obtained above, the Gold Bar Reporter filed WSBA complaints against each one of the prosecutors listed herein, and Lead Investigator for the WSBA Marsha Matsumoto, dismissed the complaints claiming ‘ no crime was committed thus giving the “green light” for other prosecutors to commit the same felonies against women. 

What did Governor Jay Inslee do? He appointed one to Superior Court Judicial seat a reward for raping a female county prosecutor, Edirin Okoloko. 

Marsha Matsumoto, lead counsel investigator for Washington State Bar Association, dismissed the complaints against Snohomish County Prosecutors, holding that there was no crime committed. Our readers should decide so here a link to the criminal complaints by eye witnesses. 

Either Marsha Matsumoto criminal law, or simply covering up lability for the Lloyds of London, a monopoly here in WA, covering up liability as risk management, giving yet another county prosecutor the green light to commit crimes against women while the rest of public would have been charged with a felony

Snohomish County government, a criminal racketeering organization, managed by Washington State Attorney General’s Office

We now have evidence that Gold Bar’s city attorneys Keating, Bucklin, and McCormack Inc. i.e. Shannon Ragonesi (basically a disbarred NY State attorney who just happen to get licensed here in Washington State) are also representing Snohomish County Prosecutors, Sara Di Vittorio, Sean Reay, and Seth Fine, City of Duvall, Port of Seattle,  and the City of Gold Bar.

According to the City of Gold Bar, City of Duvall, Port of Settle, and Snohomish County confirmed via public records response that there is no “conflict waiver” between Ragonesi and the City of Gold Bar for Ms. Ragonesi to represent multiple parties in the same suit Block v WSBA et al. 2016 02 19 Block v WSBA Amended RICO Complaint 

We now know that Keating, Bucklin and McCormack Inc and Shannon Ragonesi are not attorneys for any particular agencies, they are Special Assistant Attorney Generals, paid by Washington State Attorney Generals Office.

Association of Washington Cities late last week confirmed it was not paying the legal bills nor contracting with Keating, Bucklin, and McCormack for legal services for the City of Gold Bar and/or any party in Block v WSBA et al.

Hence why Joe Beavers laughed at the Court of Appeals Div One proceedings, because the Washington State Attorney Generals Office represents the Judges, the Courts, Prosecutors, and every party involved in 2016 02 19 Block v WSBA Amended RICO Complaint including, but not limited to, the City of Gold Bar and Snohomish County Superior Court’s attorney Sara DiVittorio.

Beavers also stated that ” he used Washington State Attorney’s Model Rules to win cases” What Gold Bar’s former Mayor Joe Beavers left out was ” the Washington State Attorney Generals,  Sara DiVittorio and Shannon Ragonesi, are representatives for every Washington State County Court,  judges, and prosecutors and are in fact employees of the Washington State Attorney General’s Office.

In the case of Shavlik v Phil Sayles ( where a citizen sued attorney Phil Sayles for fraud) the Attorney Generals Office allowed Snohomish County Special Deputy Prosecutor Joseph Genster to misuse county monies and resources to defend  Phil Sayles.

For those of you not familiar with how Snohomish County Prosecutors are handpicking incompetent public defenders like Tom Cox, Phil Sayles, Jason Schwartz, and appellate attorneys like Thomas Kummerow, to throw criminal defendants under the bus in favor of the state, you should read  https://goldbarreporter.wordpress.com/tag/everett-attorney-phil-sayles-caught/

Hard to lose when the Court is hearing and deciding cases involving themselves and their attorneys and the State is handpicking criminal defense attorneys. This RICO conduct reminds us of tactics committed by Nazi Germany.  Adolf Hitler would be quite proud of America today, while Elizabeth Cady Stanton would be quite ashamed.

Double Standard for those not Special Attorney Generals (SAAG) like Shannon

 

Attorney Bradley Marshall was disbarred by the Washington State Bar Association for not having a conflict wavier in writing signed by all the parties when there’s a possible conflict of interest.  Here in Gold Bar, two Mayors have confirmed that no conflict wavier was signed nor agreed to by the City of Gold Bar with co-defendants DiVittorio ( which we now know is Snohomish County Judges/Prosecutors attorney), and Ragonesi ( who we now know represents Snohomish County, Duvall, Port of Seattle, Attorney General’s Office, and Gold Bar.  Association of Washington Cities stated in a public email to us Thursday that they do not employee Shannon Ragonesi nor her firm of Keating, Bucklin, and McCormack.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

AETH  v Dept of Health & Human Services, outlines a great case racketeering charges to brought against Attorney General Sara DiVittorio and  

Two weeks ago, the Washington Court of Appeals Div. I issued an opinion documenting that Snohomish County Prosecutor Sara DiVittorio are legal counsel for Snohomish County Superior Court, Judges, police officers, clerks, employees, and GALs.

Sara DiVittorio is an Attorney General who works for the State of Washington, and reports directly to Attorney General Bob Ferguson. DiVittorio is not a Snohomish County Prosecutor.

In August 2009, Gold Bar’s Mayor Joe Beavers was bragging to a council member that they, Snohomish County Courts and attorney Sara DiVittorio, have the courts all locked up.  In other words, Joe Beavers declared that Snohomish County Superior Court was “fixing cases.”In re Dependency of AETH Snoho Superior behaving badly

Jeffrey Meyers, an Association of Washington Cities attorney, who is being paid as a Special Assistant Attorney General, who first represented the City of Gold Bar, then Snohomish County’s Dawson Place ( alleged 501 (3) (c ) started by Judge Janice Ellis and operated by Snohomish County Prosecutors, said ” we cannot settle this case because they will not let Anne Block win!”

They, Jeffrey Meyers was referring is the Washington State Attorney General’s Office. The Attorney General has been illegally using public monies to fund the legal battle against Gold Bar Reporter Anne Block for over ten years here in Gold Bar.

Mr. Meyers  was assigned to the City of Gold Bar to cover up Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg 2x convicted of bank fraud, 2000, 2005, North Carolina and Snohomish County, respectively), and guilty of abusing children; and Mayor Joe Beavers, a convicted felon from Texas, to cover up their felonious criminal racketeering conduct detailed in 2016 02 19 Block v WSBA Amended RICO Complaint& RICO Statement

For over ten years, Gold Bar’s Mayor Joe Beavers covered up the fact that Crystal Hill Pennington ( aka Crystal D. Pennington; Crystal Berg) had pled guilty to bank fraud, stole over $200,000.00 from the City of Gold Bar, was sleeping with four Snohomish County employees including but not limited to Mark Roe, Sean Reay, John E Pennington ( a child molester who is guilty of kidnapping, raping, and attempted murder  a 5 year old girl from Cowlitz County in 1992).

Former Gold Bar council member said ” Crystal Hill was being passed around like a blanket” and former Mayor Joe Beavers screamed three times in Executive Session ” Crystal Hill is a whore!”

Now, the Court of Appeals Div One confirms that Snohomish County Superior Court heard cases in which their attorneys  Sara DiVittorio and Shannon Ragonesi were their attorneys of record.

Pretty easy to win cases when you have the Court’s attorneys arguing cases in front of the their clients.

Last month the Court of Appeals Div One let the cat out of the bag as to why Joe Beavers was bragging that he had cases against Gold Bar Reporter fixed.  Kind of hard to beat the agency when Washington State Attorney General’s SAAG’s Shannon Ragonesi and Sara DiVittorio are representing the Court, the Prosecutors, the Judges, and the City of Gold Bar.  If this isn’t cases fixing, we’re not sure what is.

See 769642 In re the Welfare of AH Amended MAR

Excepts of the above case record:

Following a 2013 trial, Judge Linda Krese found Apple H. dependent.1 Two years later, a different judge presided over a termination trial. With the support of Judge Krese, the Superior Court itself appeared through counsel in the termination proceeding. Judge Krese met with other judges to discuss the case, filed a declaration on behalf of the Superior Court, and sat in the courtroom as the court’s attorney urged the trial judge to enter a termination order. Throughout the dependency and termination proceedings, Judge Krese, her staff, and the court’s attorney met privately and crafted informal policies hindering parents’ efforts to obtain discovery from the Superior Court’s Volunteer GAL Program. This allowed the program to steer the case toward termination while hiding activity later found to be misconduct.  The trial judge concluded that Superior Court employees had withheld discovery, destroyed evidence, lied to the court, and endangered the child. When she learned that the Superior Court itself had participated throughout the litigation, she recused herself. Six months after announcing her recusal, the trial judge entered an order terminating the mother’s parental rights. From thousands upon thousands of pages of documents and transcript, three themes emerge. First, judges, their staff, and the Superior Court’s attorney participated in the litigation. Second, the Superior Court’s Volunteer GAL program committed misconduct designed to thwart reunification. Third, Superior Court employees lied, destroyed evidence, and retaliated against the mother’s attorneys for exposing misconduct.

Judge Krese’s Role

In response to Judge Farris’s orders to show cause regarding party
status, the Court/Program filed a declaration signed by Presiding Judge
Linda Krese. CP 12880-12882. This was not Judge Krese’s first contact
with the family. In her declaration, she avowed that she was “personally
familiar with this case.” CP 12880-12882.
At the start of the dependency, Judge Krese had signed the pick-up
order removing Apple H. from her parents’ care. CP 12314. Following a
contested shelter care hearing, she had entered an order placing the child
in foster care. Trial Ex. 8. She had presided over the dependency trial,
found Apple H. dependent, and refused to order an in-home dependency.
Trial Ex. 9. Presiding Judge Krese had also appointed Brook and the
Court/Program as the child’s GAL in the dependency proceeding. CP
1234.
Judge Krese met with other Superior Court judges to discuss this
case while it was pending.119 CP 12880-12882. She held this meeting one
day before Judge Farris began a round of hearings regarding Court Program misconduct. RP (3/23/16) 1222.   Judge Krese also had two conversations about the case with Judge
Farris. CP 12880-12882. According to Judge Krese, these conversations
required Judge Farris to recuse herself because Judge Farris made false
statements about them.120 CP 12880-12882.   

The Court/Program reiterated this point in its pleadings, arguing
that Judge Farris’s “inaccurate statements” required recusal. CP 12820
12825; see also CP 12883-12888. The Court/Program claimed it would
call Presiding Judge Krese as a witness if Judge Farris did not recuse her
self.121 CP 12820-12825. The Court/Program also noted that Presiding
Judge Krese herself believed there was a conflict. CP 12820-12825.
In her declaration, Judge Krese asserted “that there is a conflict”—
at least on the sanctions motion—and “that such a conflict cannot be ad
dressed by ‘a wall.’” CP 12880-12882. According to Judge Krese, she
would not have told Judge Farris “that we can maintain a wall so as to
avoid any conflict…”122 CP 12880-12882.

Presiding Judge Krese did tell Judge Farris “something to the Court/Program misconduct. RP (3/23/16) 1222.  Judge Krese also had two conversations about the case with Judge
Farris. CP 12880-12882. According to Judge Krese, these conversations
required Judge Farris to recuse herself because Judge Farris made false
statements about them.120 CP 12880-12882.

The Court/Program reiterated this point in its pleadings, arguing
that Judge Farris’s “inaccurate statements” required recusal. CP 12820
12825; see also CP 12883-12888. The Court/Program claimed it would
call Presiding Judge Krese as a witness if Judge Farris did not recuse her
self.121 CP 12820-12825. The Court/Program also noted that Presiding
Judge Krese herself believed there was a conflict. CP 12820-12825.
In her declaration, Judge Krese asserted “that there is a conflict”—
at least on the sanctions motion—and “that such a conflict cannot be ad
dressed by ‘a wall.’” CP 12880-12882. According to Judge Krese, she
would not have told Judge Farris “that we can maintain a wall so as to
avoid any conflict…”122 CP 12880-12882.
 

Presiding Judge Krese did tell Judge Farris “something to the effect of  ‘it would be good if [this case] got wrapped up.” CP 12880 12882. In her declaration, Judge Krese announced her belief that “it was in the best interests of… the child… and the court, for the case to be resolved.” CP 12880-12882.

Prior to the next hearing, Judge Farris received an anonymous communication in her internal message box, which was accessible only to court personnel. CP 12630-12631. The communication was a “Judicial Ethics Bulletin” addressing disqualification of judges. CP 12630-12631.
Judge Farris took this as an attempt to sway her decision. CP 490-492.
Presiding Judge Krese, as well as another Superior Court Judge, at
tended the next hearing on the case. CP 479-480. The two judges sat be
hind prosecutor DiVittorio as she presented argument on behalf of the
Court/Program. RP (11/4/16) 393-518; RP (11/18/16) 1852-1853; CP 479
480. Far from a common occurrence, this got Judge Farris’s attention. RP
(11/18/16) 1852-1853. She described it later:

They brought two judges to the courtroom for the hearing, including the presiding judge…. [T]hey brought the presiding judge to the hearing, and then asked [me] to rule in “the Court’s” favor. RP (11/18/16) 1852-1853.  

( Interesting to note that “they” was Sara DiVittorio and GAL Attorney Haugen) 
 

Judge Farris saw this as an attempt to “improperly influence or pressure
the trial judge” and to “intimidate or pressure the parents’ attorneys.” CP
480.

THE COURT: So the acts of the VGAL program and its employees are acts of the court? MS. DI VITTORIO: Yes.  RP (11/4/16) 401.

Judge Farris also asked if anything had been done to screen judges
from active cases.
THE COURT: Is there anything being done by the court to separate and keep independent the VGAL program from the court? MS. DI VITTORIO: I can’t answer that question, Your Honor. RP (11/4/16) 402.

THE COURT: Is there any effort by the court to treat that particular arm differently than other arms of the court? MS. DI VITTORIO: I guess I don’t understand what you’re getting at, Your Honor. I mean, there’s a program administrator that administrates that program. …. I’m not – I’m not understanding what kind of separation you would be thinking of. THE COURT: All right. RP (11/4/16) 403.124

AETH v DHHS, In re Dependency of AETH Snoho Superior behaving badlyfirst time detailed almost to the T every allegation the Gold Bar Reporter made against Snohomish County and Attorney General’s Office Sara DiVittorio i.e. threats, obstruction our right to conduct discovery in public records cases, fixing cases with Snohomish County Superior Court Judges and its attorneys DiVittorio and Ragonesi, two Special Attorney Generals brought up to Snohomish County to cover up the criminal acts of public officials documented nicely in 2016 02 19 Block v WSBA Amended RICO Complaint & RICO Statement

almost the same issues the lawyers for AETH documented and now a Published Decision from Washington Court of Appeals Div One.

A special thank you to three wonderful attorneys who give me hope that not every attorney inside Washington State Bar Association is corrupt.   769642 In re the Welfare of AH Amended MAR & Washington Court of Appeals Div One for finally protecting the integerity of the rule of law.

The rule of law shouldn’t just apply to those of us with the knowledge and money to purchcase it.

According to the  U.S. Bureau of Prisons, (which includes prisons, jails, probation, and parole) the cost to house prisoners amoutns to $74 billion, with 2,298,300 people  incarcerated out of a population of 324.2 million. 

U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit Justice Alex Kozinski ( who is my judicial hero of the 21st Century) was asked a couple of years ago “how many people are in prison wrongfully?”  said without batting an eye ” about 50 %.”

When the Attorney General’s Office is funding the legal battle for agency employees who committ crimes, as they have here in Gold Bar and Snohomish County, we believe it’s no more felonious conduct ( reeks of Sherman Anti-Trust) than robbing a bank.

Some good news for Gold Bar Washington residents.  The new Mayor Bill Clem and the 2019 City Council has an Ordinance restricting a person who has been convicted of crimes like Crystal Hill, Joe Beavers, and Bonnie Scruggs Dierkson Jones, from being elligible for employment with the City of Gold Bar.

No one, like Crystal Hill who pled guilty to and served time in jail for bank fraud, should have access to bank accounts and credit cards.  In Gold Bar, Crystal Hill stole over $200,000.00 through bank fraud and check cashing schemes. With the new law, thieves like Crystal Hill Pennington ( aka Crystal Berg), and violent felons like Joe Beavers,  would not be eligible for any type of employment in Gold Bar including elected positions.

The tide is turning for the City of Gold Bar, and with Sara DiVittorio, an Attorney General, representing the Courts, Judges, and Prosecutors, now exposed for racketeering, Gold Bar may be one step closer to coming clean.

The Washington State Attorney General’s Office has been paying the legal bill against the Gold Bar Reporter for over ten years, and Joe Beavers lies to the public stating that Gold Bar was going broke paying to defend public records lawsuits.

Joe Beavers criminal conduct included  operating and posting articles on John Pennington and Crystal Hill’s Sky Valley Chronicle, he belongs in prison with Washington State Attorney Generals Sara DiVittorio, Shannon Ragonesi and Amanda Butler for racketeering.

Good news for those of us who have been defamed by the Washington State Attorney General little law firm scams as outlines herein, the Washington State Court of Appeals Div One just held that they are not exempt from lawsuits when they commit fraud, publish false statements, and/or commit perjuryy like Shannon Ragonesi and Amanda Butler did in every case involving the Gold Bar Reporter.

The Washington Court of Appeals Div I just opened up the door for the Gold Bar Reporter to sue Keating, Bucklin, and McCormack. See Ogden Murphy and Wallace sued for fraud

 

The Gold Bar Reporter has never been sued. for any reason.

Snohomish County Prosecutors and attorneys tampering with FBI National Crime Information Center data

        

 Ann Marie Soto                                          Shannon Ragonesi 

In November 2017, the City of Gold Bar’s attorneys Ann Marie Soto and Shannon Ragonesi decided to have a meeting with a federal witness Brandia Tamuu.  Besides the obvious, tampering with a federal witness ( a felony in Washington), both entered into a bribery scheme to remove the witness’s criminal arrest warrant and criminal history from the National Crime Information Center’s (NCIC) criminal data base.

Public records from the City of Gold Bar, from November 21 to December 20, 2017, document that in November 2017, Shannon Ragonesi and Ann Marie Soto were contacted for a meeting by a convicted animal abuser Brandia Taamu.

Ms. Taamu was desperate for money, had in fact tried extort the Gold Bar Reporter for money/car, and had offered to meet up with Ragonesi and Soto at the Law Firm of Keating Bucklin McCormack Inc in downtown Seattle. Brandia Taamu needed money as she was being threatened with eviction from her home.  In exchange for meeting with Ragonesi and Soto, the woman would get money and her City of Everett arrest warrant and conviction for animal abuse would be cleared.  Taamu claimed to have dirt on the Gold Bar Reporter, but had nothing of value except speculation on why the Gold Bar Reporter moved West, and it was quite apparent from an insider at the law office that the woman is suffering from mental health issues.

According to the woman, Ragonesi and Soto agreed to clear her criminal arrest warrant and conviction from NCIC via ACCESS.

Ragonesi and Soto also told the woman that they could issue secret subpoenas for any document they so desired, and further offered to help the woman get a restraining order against the Gold Bar Reporter’s news reports.  One witness said that the woman recorded their meeting, but we have no knowledge of whether this is true or not.

The Washington State Patrol turned over the woman’s criminal history one week before and a week after the Ragonesi and Soto November  2017 bribery  meeting, and it is clear that just days after this meeting, the criminal conviction record and arrest warrant were wiped from NCIC via ACCESS.  The person who cleared the woman’s ACCESS records was Michael Meyers, King County police officer.

The City of Gold Bar, at the bequest of Ann Marie Soto and Shannon Ragonesi, illegally claimed that the meeting records were exempt from public disclosure. Obviously, a lawsuit forcing disclosure is coming, and Ms. Soto and Ms. Ragonesi will be deposed.

In early 2018, Gold Bar’s new Mayor Bill Clem agreed to an interview with the Gold Bar Reporter and he said ” those people who are threatening you are now threatening me.”

Washington Court of Appeals Div. I Judge Beth Andrus fixing cases for her friends in Snohomish County Oso Mudslide litigation

On March 22, 2014, one of the largest landslide in United States history occurred 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Oso, Washington.

Public records sent from Court of Appeals Judge Beth Andrus email account judgeandrus@gmail.com documents that she was a good friend to Snohomish County’s Oso Defense attorneys Joseph Genster and Timothy Leyh:

Why this email is so important to illustrate case fixing is because Judge Beth Andrus was also the Judge at Washington Court of Appeals Division One who DENIED the Oso mudslide victims their day in court.  Judge Andrus fixed the case in favor of Snohomish County Prosecutors Joseph Genster and Timothy Leyh, her friends and the County attorneys on this appeal.

Judge Beth Andrus, a dear friend to  Snohomish County Prosecutors Joseph Genster and Timothy Leyh, signed in the bottom left hand corner of the Decision to Dismiss victims of the Oso mudslides against her dear friend from Snohomish County Prosecutors Office. Joseph Genster and Timothy Leyh were in fact the attorneys of record representing Snohomish County.

If this is not case fixing and gross violations of the Cannon Rules of Judicial Conduct, we are not sure what is.

Judge Beth Andrus should be brought up on racketeering charges and impeached with all deliberate speed.

For years  Snohomish County’s geologists urged the County’s Department of Emergency Management to purchase homes already built and move resident off the slide, correcting holding that the area was unstable and a major slide area.  FEMA offered funding to buy out home owners.

Instead of buying out property owners, Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon wrote an email letter to one of his political appointee’s John E Pennington asking “is it safe to build?” John E Pennington wrote back ” Its good to build boss.”

John E. Pennington was a two term Washington State Representative from Cowlitz County Washington.  He was also diagnosed by King County Superior Court Dr. Hedricks as “a sociopath with no empathy for human life” and he was diagnosed with autism.

If having the Director of Snohomish County Emergency Management labeled a sociopath with autism isn’t bad enough, keep reading.

According to lead Cowlitz County Detective Maurice Saxon, John E. Pennington was also the man responsible for the rape, kidnapping,  and attempted murder of a 5 year old girl in Cowltiz County in 1992.

At the time John E Pennington was the person responsible for raping,  kidnapping,  and attempted murder of a five year old girl, he was also running for an uncontested Washington State House of Representative’s seat.

At the time of the child rape, Gold Bar’s city attorney Michael Kenyon was the City of Kelso’s attorney.

When John E Pennington and Mike Kenyon covered up the rape of a child, Michael Kenyon’s career skyrocketed. Kenyon went from an anal salary of $37,500 per year as a city attorney to a million year, only after Senator Jennifer Dunn  jumped started Kenyon’s career at the bequest of John E. Pennington.

John E Pennington said ” I owe Jennifer Dunn my career…” What Pennington left off was that Mike Kenyon also owes Senator Jennifer Dunn his career.

When the Gold Bar Reporter requested access to public records here in Gold Bar, involving John E Pennington’s then mistress and Gold Bar’s then Mayor Crystal Hill ( nee Berg convicted of bank fraud, 2000, 2005), attorney Mike Kenyon, John E Pennington’s fixer, was hired by Gold Bar’s Mayor Joe ” Felon” Beavers to tampering with public emails disseminated inside Gold Bar’s public emails.  Those emails contained illegally obtained information from the FBI about the Gold Bar Reporter’s family, including major HIPPA violations.

And so the 10 year public records litigation began… and what just learned is that the City of Gold Bar has been lying to Gold Bar residents about who is paying the legal bills posted on the City’s website. A story for a later dates, but for those of you who wondered, it’s Washington State attorney General Bob Ferguson Office. A story we are working on for a little later date. Stay tuned.

 

 

Two years after the Oso mudslides, John E Pennington was deposed, and his response to what he considered his responsibilities to be are nicely illustrated in his videotaped deposition when he states countless times ” I was just the Director, I just directed.”

According to the Seattle Times, John E Pennington paid a flat rate fee for his online fraudulent diploma, from California Coastal University.  Pennington used his online flat rate diploma to obtain another online degree from American Military University, a online school US Senator Harkin said was fraud on PBS’s special “Education Inc.”

This begs one question: Had the County hired a person qualified to handle Emergencies could Oso Mudslides been mitigated? The Gold Bar Reporter believes so.

Since the Hazel Landslide has a history of instability dating to 1937, this prior to the March 2014 mudslide, the FEMA plans to buy out the homeowners in 2006 would have eliminated the human causalities.

“Completely unforeseen”

On March 24, two days after the slide, John Pennington, Director of Snohomish County’s Department of Emergency Management, stated at a news conference, “This was a completely unforeseen slide. This came out of nowhere.”^[28] The same day The Seattle Times published an article about previous slides at the same location, as well as the likelihood of future slides. The article contained comments from geologists, engineers, and local residents, and stated that the area was known among locals as “Slide Hill”. On the next day, The Times followed up with a full page article, “‘Unforeseen’ risk of slide? Warnings go back decades.”Snohomish County Public Works Director Steve Thompsen was quoted as saying, “A slide of this magnitude is very difficult to predict. There was no indication, no indication at all.” ‘

John E. Pennington also told Time Magazine the same week ” Everyone knew of the dangers.”

The Gold Bar Reporter since early January 2009, tried to warn the public that John E. Pennington was dangerous man ( arrested for beating a 3rd trimester pregnant City of Duvall Council Member just weeks before delivering her child), and had criminally harassed the Gold Bar Reporter using an anonymous website Washington State Senator Steve Hobbs, and several Snohomish County Executive employees operated from Snohomish County offices, titled ” The Sky Valley Chronicle.”

Countless criminal complaints were filed against John E Pennington from 2009 to 2017, but each time a criminal complaint was filed, then Sheriff John Lovick ( now WA State House of Rep for Mill Creek) would always intercept and quash the criminal complaints.

We would later learn that John Lovick was accused of sexual abusing a minor child in his care , caught masturbating along side her bed, inside his daughter’s room in the 1990s. John Lovick later paid off the victim to remain silent, and has since been lying to his constituents that the allegations are not true.

My mother always said ” the only ones who protect pedophiles, are pedophiles themselves.”  That’s exactly what John Lovick did, he protected John E Pennington from being criminally prosecuted on over 15 criminal complaints that were filed by several woman, and this after King County issued a restraining order against John E Pennington, they revoked his concealed weapons permit. While a King County restraining order was issued, John Lovick illegally granted Pennington back ( persons with domestic violence and mental health issues are NOT allowed to have weapons) a concealed weapons permit. Since Pennington did not live in Snohomish County – he actuall resides in Duvall, King County – Lovick had no authority to sign Pennington’s concealed weapons permit.

 

When Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon learned that John E Pennington tried to rape his public records officer inside Snohomish County Dept of Emergency Management, Aaron  Reardon called her in to his office and promised her promotions and issued a very large settlement check of $45,000.00, which we later learned the victim used to enlarge her breasts.  She is now Director of Emergency Management for the City of Marysville.

In May 2013, Snohomish County’s Municipal Unit “voted” to order then Municipal Unit and Snohomish County Prosecutor Margaret King to assist John Pennington with  getting Anne Block disbarred for exposing corruption.

A source inside Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office, who we label “Fed Up” told the Gold Bar Reporter that ” Mark Roe and Mike Kenyon conspired with the county council to have you disbarred for reporting on their racketeering conduct. Margaret King was removed as Gold Bar’s City attorney, and moved to Snohomish County to assist the county with getting you disbarred.”

What our readers may not know is that from 2010 to February 2012, attorney Margaret King assisted in two Washington State Bar complaints.  What King and other complained about was that lawyers shouldn’t also be reporters.  The Gold Bar Reporter told the Washington State Bar Association ” stay out of my First Amendment activities.” The actions of the Enterprise cleared the way for the Reporter to dedicate more time to writing.

Forty-three people were killed and 49 homes and other structures destroyed. This was unacceptable from persons who were sworn in to uphold the laws, but as in the case of now terminated Director of Emergency Management John E Pennington, spent county monies and resources criminally harassing his opponents on a fake website The Sky Valley Chronicle. A website, Pennington, his convicted bank frauding wife Crystal D. Pennington (aka Berg, Hill), Snohomish County Prosecutors and Executive Officers used to defame and cyber-stalk anyone who dared challenge government sociopaths.

We blame the Washington State Bar Association for attempting to SLAPP down my First Amendment rights to protect a wife beater, a pedophile, and man who caused 43 deaths in Oso mudslides, because instead of working, he was performing FEMA contracts on the east in violation of Snohomish County Ordinance and criminally harassing his opponent right from County DEM offices.

Snohomish County Prosecutors’ again caught violating the Constitutional rights of the accused

In May 2017, George Hatt was convicted of first degree murder of Andrew Spencer.

Andrew Spencer had broken into George Hatt’s girlfriend’s home, punched Hatt, while armed, and George Hatt shot and killed Spencer.  After Andrew Spencer was killed, Hatt panicked and dismembered the body and buried  Spencer’s body in the yard.

The jury didn’t buy Hatt’s self-defense argument, but Judge George Appel stated for the record at his sentencing hearing, ” sure Andrew assaulted you, but he didn’t deserve to die”.

Judge Appel’s on the record statements alone call into to question whether or not George Hatt is guilty of First Degree murder.

 

---

First degree murder is defined by RCW as:

Murder in the first degree.

(1) A person is guilty of murder in the first degree when:

(a) With a premeditated intent to cause the death of another person, he or she causes the death of such person or of a third person; or

(b) Under circumstances manifesting an extreme indifference to human life, he or she engages in conduct which creates a grave risk of death to any person, and thereby causes the death of a person; or

(c) He or she commits or attempts to commit the crime of either (1) robbery in the first or second degree, (2) rape in the first or second degree, (3) burglary in the first degree, (4) arson in the first or second degree, or (5) kidnapping in the first or second degree, and in the course of or in furtherance of such crime or in immediate flight therefrom, he or she, or another participant, causes the death of a person other than one of the participants: Except that in any prosecution under this subdivision (1)(c) in which the defendant was not the only participant in the underlying crime, if established by the defendant by a preponderance of the evidence, it is a defense that the defendant:

(i) Did not commit the homicidal act or in any way solicit, request, command, importune, cause, or aid the commission thereof; and

(ii) Was not armed with a deadly weapon, or any instrument, article, or substance readily capable of causing death or serious physical injury; and

(iii) Had no reasonable grounds to believe that any other participant was armed with such a weapon, instrument, article, or substance; and

(iv) Had no reasonable grounds to believe that any other participant intended to engage in conduct likely to result in death or serious physical injury.

(2) Murder in the first degree is a class A felony.

Here’s a few more facts that might help our readers understand why George Hatt should not have been charged nor convicted of first degree murder.

First and foremost, when someone breaks into your house with or without a weapon, are you not entitled to defend yourself?

Secondly, Andrew Spencer and his mother Cindy Wilson have an extensive criminal history that calls into question why Andrew was on George Hatt’s property to begin with.

Next, Judge Appel’s on the record statements ” sure Andrew assaulted you but he didn’t deserve to die” call into question why the hell Snohomish County Prosecutor’s charged George Hatt with First Degree murder in the first place, because even Judge Appel believed that Andrew assaulted George Hatt, and the record is clear that Spencer was killed on property not owned by Andrew Spencer.

Finally, here’s another major issue that happened inside the George Hatt trial that should not be overlooked. Attorney Jason Schwarz, a public defender, was caught in the hallways talking to a known Brady Cop, David Fontenot, bragging about how after the George Hatt trial he plans on opening up a private criminal defense practice and promised by Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office that he would be awarded contracts. My readers should keep in mind that Snohomish County’s Brady Cop David Fontenot was the detective in George Hatt’s criminal trial.  So while Defense counsel Jason Schwarz was representing George Hatt in a murder case, attorney Jason Schwarz was talking to lead detective David Fontenot who a witness against his client George Hatt, making side deals for contracts with the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office.

 

In addition, to Defense counsel Jason Schwarz throwing his client under the bus in exchange for money contracts with Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office, here’s one more fact, from George Hatt himself ( filed into his appeal) that might be helpful in understanding why George Hatt’s Constitutional rights might have been  violated by not only Snohomish County but also by Snohomish County Public Defender’s Association.

In addition, Andrew Spencer’s mother Cindy Wilson was arrested for Arson I after she admitted to Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office that she burnt down George Hatt’s girlfriend’s home in Granite Falls.

Ms. Wilson’s criminal conduct of burning down the home of a single mother who just happened to be affiliated with the man who caused the death of her son is nothing more than vindictive.

Two wrongs don’t make a right, and lets hope a jury convicts Ms. Wilson of Arson I, putting her where she belongs.

State v Cindy Wilson, Snohomish County Case No: 17-1-01407-31

Now, for those who feel George Hatt is guilty of murder, don’t send me your hateful emails because my interest in America’s so called criminal justice system isn’t whether Mr. Hatt’s is guilty or not, it’s whether he received a fair trial and effective assistance of counsel pursuant to US minimum standards under the United States Constitution.

If he did not, he deserves a new trial. Until Hatt receives a fair trial, there is no way of knowing whether or not he is guilty of First Degree murder or not.

Snohomish County Prosecutor Sean Reay illegal use of taxpayers resources, continued

On March 24, 2018, the Gold Bar Reporter was the first to report on Snohomish County Prosecutors illegal use of taxpayer monies, resources and facilities.  This misappropriation of public resourses outlines just how far this Little RICO scam inside the Washington State Bar Association along with the Snohomish County Prosecutors Office has gone.

Snohomish County Prosecutor Sean Reay’s crimes against Washington State taxpayers EXPOSED in public emails again.

Click link belong to see Sean Reay misusing taxpayer monies and resources to operate a for profit arbitration firm.  Question for those of us exposing massive Snohomish County corruption is: Did Sean Reay pay federal IRS income tax on not only the money he earned while being paid by the county, but did he pay the county for rental space, computer usage, report those benefits on his IRS 1040?

The IRS should investigate Snohomish County Prosecutor Sean Reay for fraud.

https://goldbarreporter.org/tag/sean-reay/

---

No surprise, today, we received more public records from Snohomish County documenting that Sean Reay is also working for the Washington State Bar Association (WSBA), while being paid with county taxpayer monies nd misusing county computers to further the WSBA’s private organization.

RCW states that a prosecutor cannot work any other job nor have any other responsibilities other than that of a Prosecutor.  As such, a complaint against Sean Reay will be filed for misappropriation of public funds, and misuse of taxpayers resources.

 

Because this is the first email we discovered, whereas the private organization of the WSBA, is using county prosecutors to perform private functions, a lawsuit will be filed very very soon.

My readers should note that the WSBA has claimed that its a private association not subject to the Public Records Act. However, the United Supreme Court has accepted a case against a private Bar that would virtually halt all private associations like the WSBA.

Recently, the US Supreme Court held that you cannot force membership into private association. For those of us watching this case, the WSBA will be abolished and the State of Washington will have to start a separate regulatory agency to oversee the Bar.  Whereas, Washington State’s Sunshine laws will apply.

 

 

 

 

 

“For the powerful, crimes are those that others commit” Noam Chomsky

Well, well, it’s no surprise, a couple more cockroaches from Snohomish County Washington government trying to obtain “political courtesy” to thwart criminal laws in their favor.

In late June 2018, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Christopher Dickinson was arrested for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated.  He was found in the car outside the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office with his keys in the ignition, apparently waiting for his girlfriend, another Snohomish County employee, who was arrested for operating a motorboat on Lake Chelan while intoxicated.   

Making matters worse, Dickinson lied to the Chelan Sheriff’s Officer, denying he was driving, instead told officers that a friend drove.  After that didn’t work, “He began to demand that I acknowledge that he was a lawyer” a Sheriff’s Deputy said in his report.

Dickson’s blood alcohol content was 0.15 — about twice the legal limit – booked into the Chelan County Regional Justice Center in Wenatchee and later released.

 

Dickinson was initially placed on administrative leave pending an investigation at Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office.  Dickinson’s arrest occurred while he was being paid by the taxpayers of Snohomish County to attend a conference in Lake Chelan.  With no surprise to those of us who actually report the news here in Washington State, the conference was sponsored by the Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys. An organization in charge of training prosecutors; appears the organization is failing. 

Dickson said he was waiting for his girlfriend, who had been taken into custody about 12:45 a.m. on suspicion of boating under the influence. At the time of the arrest, Dickson had given his girlfriend legal advice immediately following her arrest to refuse a breathalyzer.

The 36-year-old woman had been arrested near South Lakeshore Road in Chelan,  after the boat she operated side swiped a dock.  Chelan County Sheriff’s officer said ” she was so drunk she could barely stand…” 

Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office placed Dickson on paid administrative leave pending an internal investigation two weeks ago.  Yesterday Dickson was fired after Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe said ” All I can say is an incident took palce that left me disappointed and angry  at one person. ” Very strange since Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe he himself was arrested for drunk driving in King County 2008, arrested and booked, but managed to call in a favor from King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg to avoid jail.

According to King County Prosecutor’s Office, ” even first time drunk drivers in our county get one day in jail….”  Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe must be special, as he never served a single day in jail after pleading to drunk driving in King County Washington.

Brings us right back to the quote from America’s greatest political  philosopher’s “For the powerful, crimes are those that others commit.

 

Snohomish County Mark Roe is a hypocrite – more criminals in charge.

Definition of hypocrite

 

1 : a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion

2 : a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings

 

 

Snohomish County Washington, Prosecutor’s officers felonious government sponsored activity exposed

 

Caroline Darrow, admits she’s tampering with public records, caught on camera

In April 2016, a whistleblower came forward from Snohomish County Department of Information Services Department (DIS) stating Snohomish County Prosecutors’ employees Brian Lewis and Caroline Darrow are tampering with public records.

 In April 2016, the whistleblower gave the Gold Bar Reporter email communication sent between and among an DIS employee, Snohomish County Prosecutor Sara Di Vittorio and then Executive public records officer Brian Lewis documenting beyond any shadow of a doubt that Brian Lewis and attorney/Prosecutor Sara Di Vittorio are guilty of felons, i.e. tampering with public records. Brian Lewis was fired by Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers, but then to help the racketeering Enterprise, Snohomish County Prosecutors Mark Roe and Sara Di Vittorio rehired him to tampering with Snohomish County’s court records.

RCW 40.16.010, injury to public records states:

Snohomish County “fixing” cases 

In July 2009, Gold Bar’s then appointed Gold Bar Mayor Joe Beavers ( also a convicted felon) bragged that he was fixing cases with the assistance of Snohomish County Washington Judiciary.   So here’s how it works, i.e. fixing cases.

When a litigant has a public record cases ( or any case ) pending in front  a Snohomish County Superior Court Judge, the Prosecutors’ Office sends an employee to the courtroom to watch. This is a “ tip” to the Superior Court judges ( or Commissioner/s)  that they are to fix the case/s.

An employee of Snohomish County told the Gold Bar Reporter “ remember when Gold Bar’s attorney Shannon Ragonesi filed that frivolous motion to dismiss your public record case in November 2017? Well, Mark Roe and Sara Di Vi Vittorio ordered Brian Lewis to sit in the audience to tip Judge Cindy Larsen off that the Prosecutors’ Office, also  Judge Larsen’s former employer,  was to rule against you. There’s only one problem, Judge Thomas Wynne had already held in your favor in March 2016.  As a result, Judge Cindy Larsen told Mark Roe that she couldn’t overrule another judge’s holding, but she ( Larsen) would rule against you on a well settled rule, metadata, trying to throw a monkey wrench in your win. “ The Snohomish County insider also said “ Mark Roe supported Judge Cindy Larsen and called in a favor…”  Sadly, Judge Larsen’s ruling supports the whistleblower’s statements of ” the Prosecutors are working with the Judges to “fix  cases.” To test this theory, the Gold Bar Reporter had a friend sitting in on  case in front of Snohomish County Commissioner Jacqueline Brudjack and Commissioner Pesky.   All of the sudden Snohomish County Prosecutor, Miquel Tempski, showed up in the audience, the Commissioner’s violated well settled rules on discovery.  Fixing cases clearly established, as the famous observationist Erickson said ” observation is evidence.” 

Further evidence comes from a recent ruling in another public records case where Snohomish County Judge Lucas stated for the record “ the proper motion on a modification of the commissioner’s holding is a Motion to Continue CR 56 (7) pending discovery.”  Only one problem, the activist was not at the court on a Motion to Oppose Summary Judgement, she was there to modify the commissioner ruling, holding in part that a Plaintiff has no legal right to conduct discovery. 

Judge Lucas either failed civil procedure in law school or he is corrupt.  My readers should keep in mind that Judge Lucas is also the judge that gave a Snohomish County employee, John E. Pennington, a man responsible for the rape of a 5 year old child in Cowlitz County Washington, and then received custodial custody as a political favor to his very dear friend and disgraced/terminated former Executive Aaron Reardon.

Fixing the cases isn’t just limited to civil public record cases.  Over the last three years, the Gold Bar Reporter has sat in on several criminal cases as well, and what was noted was that when the County wants a Judge to rule against the criminal defendant, Snohomish County sends two county employees in to watch the cases, one Sheriff’s Officer named Snitch, and one Risk Management officer named Keith Mitchell. 

My readers may recall that the Gold Bar Reporter was the first to report on Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon’s theft of Snohomish County monies to fund his extra-marital affairs with Deanna Dawson and a social worker from Snohomish County.   Once we started exposing Deanna Dawson, she and John Pennington came up with a great plan to “throw” the county social worker under the bus to save Aaron Reardon and Deanna Dawson from political ruins. 

For good reason, voters don’t like politicians who cheat on their spouses. 

The Gold Bar Reporter exposed Deanna Dawson, John E Pennington and his public record officer Diana Rose in an article titled “ The Stoning of Tamara Dutton.” 

For Diana Rose’s assisting the racketeering Enterprise, Diana Rose, a mere public record officers with no training in emergency management, received a political appointment with the City of Marysville as the Director of Emergency Management, because oh yes indeed the City of Marysville has so many natural disasters, and needs a public records officer to handle emergencies.  

Stealing from the Marysville’s taxpayers.  

On March 24, 2014, Diana Rose and John E. Pennington caused the deaths of 43 people in the Oso mudslides disaster, because instead of working they were criminally harassing their opponents on a foe website titled “ The Sky Valley Chronicle”  The Chronicle was set up to control the message in Snohomish County on behalf of the Democratic Party of Washington. Owned and operated by Snohomish County employees, Brian Perry, Jon Rudicil, Senator Steve Hobbs, convicted criminal Kevin Thomas Hulton, and John E. Pennington.  In October 2016, Gold Bar’s former Mayor Joe Beavers, a convicted felon, was deposed and admitted that he was also allowed post stories freely on the Sky Valley Chronicle.

Joe Beavers, Crystal Hill Pennington ( convicted bank frauder, and guilty of perjury) and John E. Pennington are being sued for defamation and racketeering.

Although John E. Pennington was fired for criminally harassing people using the Sky Valley Chronicle, Peirce College in Washington State hired him to teach Emergency Management classes (laughable  since caused 43 people to suffocated to death in Oso mudslides and is a wife beater who enjoys taking showers with 6 year old girls).   When the Gold Bar Reporter filed a complaint with the US Department of Education that John E. Pennington had falsified his fraudulent academic credentials, the US Department of Education ordered Peirce College remove John E Pennington’s academic credentials off their website.  John E Pennington bogus online diplomas, paid for a flat fee, have been removed from Pierce College’s website, however, he is still allowed to teach non-degree level classes online.  

Today, we have a new story and racketeering defendant to add, Caroline Darrow, a Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office public record officer, guilty of tampering with public records. 

 The activist said “Caroline Darrow looked like she’s on drugs…”  What’s new inside Snohomish County Washington? 

We are now in the process of running an extensive background check on Caroline Darrow, since we know for certain that many of the public records officers for Snohomish County have shady backgrounds. Five weeks ago, Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office released public record documenting that Snohomish County assisted Crystal Hill Pennington with illegally removing her criminal history from National Crime Information Center (NCIC), a felony in Washington State.

 The Gold Bar Reporter is pursuing perjury charges against Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) after Ms. Hill Berg Pennington appeared “under oath” on April 23, 2017, stating that the Gold bar Reporter was lying about her criminal arrest records ( above). Not sure about our readers, but since Ms. Hill Pennington has a “tramp stamp” just above her anal area, identified by Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office after her arrest record above, public records document Ms. Hill Pennington is not only a convicted bank frauder and a harasser, but also a person with no morals for telling the truth. A lawsuit has been started against Ms. Hill Pennington for defamation.   

Washington State Supreme Court threatening reformists, violating the public trust

 “When honor and the Law no longer stand on the same side of the line, how do we choose[?]”  Anne Bishop

Anyone who been investigating massive racketeering and corruption in Washington State knows one thing, we have a serious problem that at one time in history ( 1960s through 1980s) our courts were honorable and would correct wrongs. Not so much any more. There is nothing honorable about our judiciary threatening lawyers who care about protecting the rights of Washingtonians. 

But that’s just what the Washington State Supreme Court just did. 

Last week, the Supreme Court issued an exparte ORDER threatening the Washington State Board of Governors (BOG) with contempt/disbarment if the BOG continued to demand that the  Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) Directors stay out of the legislative function of the WSBA BOG. After all, the WSBA is an “association” just like the AAA or American Medical Association.

Last year, the WSBA BOG was taken over by “reformists” who are demanding reform.  This immediately following the arrest of WSBA President Robyn Haynes for theft in Spokane County and after the Gold Bar Reporter’s report on WSBA Guardian scammer and WSBA Hearing Officer Lin O’Dell’s racketeering offenses against Washingtonians was exposed in the following article:

License to steal” with the assistance of the Washington State Bar and Washington State Guardian Board

Lin O’Dell met and teamed up with a convicted killer, Mark Plivilech, while working as a nurse with Walla Walla Prison inmates in 1990.

---

What happens when a convicted killer teams up with a criminal with a law license? 

Not only was WSBA Hearing Officer Lin O’ Dell found guilty of stealing from her clients using a convicted killer to harass them inside their homes, the duo also created several companies to launder clients’ trust monies.

Instead of investigating complaints filed against attorney Lin O’Dell for embezzlement, the Washington State Bar Association, Washington Attorney General’s Office, Washington State Guardian Board, and at least two Washington State’s Governors’ turned a blind eye, thus allowing Lin O’Dell and Mark Plivilech’s rein of terror and racketeering crimes against Washington elderly residents to continued for over twenty years with no accountability.

Why is simple: the Washington State Bar Association refused to investigate complaints filed against Lin O’Dell. Washington State Bar Disciplinary Council Linda Eide, Doug Ende and Julie Shankland were all guardian scammers themselves while in private practice.

The Gold Bar Reporter smells a pay off system….

No accountability until Lin O’Dell decided to violate the Gold Bar Reporter’s civil rights, fabricate evidence, lie on official Washington State Bar filings, and after being caught accepting bribes from John E Pennington ( man fired from Snohomish County Emergency Management after he was caught stalking, criminally harassing Gold Bar Reporter right from Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management offices).  Mark Plivilech who lives in Spokane set up a USPS Box # 70 in Duvall Washington for purposes of picking up money drops from the Penningtons’ to fix a case against the Gold Bar Reporter’s news reports on corruption.

What should for our readers is that attorney Lin O’Dell was handpicked as a Washington State Bar Hearing Officer by her co-conspirator and business associate attorney Joseph Nappi Jr ( another attorney associated with the Washington State Bar and Guardian Scam in Spokane County). Joseph Nappi Jr has his own “little RICO” scam of depleting O’Dell’s clients trust accounts after O’Dell’s clients die.

John E. Pennington, Lin O’Dell, Mark Plivilech, and Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) are being sued for racketeering, and soon forgery and fraud.

Instead of prosecuting attorney Lin O’Dell for stealing, embezzling client funds, and money laundering, the Washington State Guardian Board allowed Lin O’Dell to resign, but only after she was caught stealing, perjury, and embezzling million of dollars from Ms. Fowler’s trust accounts.

 

Because the Gold Bar Reporter believes that the Washington State Guardian needs a hell of a lot of sunshine for their crimes against our elderly, their names are:

President of Washington State Bar Association resigns hours before criminal warrant issued

“When honor and the Law no longer stand on the same side of the line, how do we choose[?]”  Anne Bishop

---

On June 23, 2017, Washington State Bar Association’s (WSBA) President Robin Lynn Haynes was notified of pending criminal charges for theft.

Some of you may not have known this since the  Seattle Times (Washington’s most circulated newspaper) assisted the WSBA by not reporting.

---

 

A few weeks ago, the Gold Bar Reporter received a tip from an insider at the WSBA, confirming that the Washington State Supreme Court has been engaging in exparte communication with the WSBA Office of Disciplinary Counsel (WSBA ODC) Directors Paula Littlewood and Doug Ende.  With the WSBA reformists now in control of the WSBA BOG, demands were made ordering WSBA Director Paula Littlewood and Doug Ende to stop interfering with BOG’s legislative functions. Instead WSBA Director Paula Littlewood and Doug Ende went to Olympia, behind closed doors, and had an exparte meeting with the entire Washington State Supreme Court.  

Behind closed doors, and in violation of Washington State’s Open Meeting laws, the entire Washington State Supreme Court and WSBA Directors Paula Littlewood and Doug Ende met secretly and wrote an ORDER threatening the WSBA BOG with contempt charges if the WSBA BOG continues to demand reform. 

The WSBA BOG’s demanded that the WSBA ODC stop interfering with the WSBA BOG’s functions. WSBA BOG Reformists are seeking WSBA Executive Directors Littlewood and Doug Ende’s immediate termination, and bylaw amendments passed that give power back to the Board of Governors and the Sections.  The insider  said  reforms must include” the right of referendum preserved, and available for license fee issues.  So,  that is clearly reform.  I think they can be persuaded to take discipline out of political control from the Executive Director.” Paula Littlewood is the Executive Director for the WSBA. 

---

My readers may recall that the WSBA Practice of Law Board resigned in late 2015, citing gross violations by the Washington State Supreme Court conspiring with WSBA Directors of Sherman Anti Trust violations, creating a monopoly over delivery of legal services in Washington State.  

 

Board members blast Washington State Bar, resignations spread like wild flowers

Washington State Bar Association, Inc.

“Placing profits over people”

---

Washington state’s Practice of Law Board (POLB) is virtually defunct because of massive resignations and in fighting feuds with the bar association’s leaders.

No, it cannot be the Washington State Bar’s corrupt elite few Board members trying to control the honest fight for justice Boards and its members?  Shocking!

---

Attorney Scott Smith writes a letter basically agreeing with the Gold Bar Reporters federal Racketeering complaint; Washington State Bar Board members are threatening members who disagree, all in an effort to dominate the Washington State Bar 

On November 8, 2015, former POLB board members released an 11-page letter (PDF) accusing the executive director of the state bar of pursuing “a campaign to eliminate the Practice of Law Board (POLB) citing disgust over how to bridge the access-to-justice gap in the state.

The 11 page letter to the Supreme Court has validity because we found records from the City of Gold Bar proving beyond any shadow of a doubt that Gold Bar’s former Mayor Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg, bank fraud 2005) was writing motions, briefs, and pleadings for two former Snohomish County Dept. of Emergency Management employees, we reported Ms. Hill Pennington to the Bar, but lead counsel Linda Eide (caught destroying evidence in several proceedings) and Doug Ende allowed Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg, bank fraud) to continue harming the public with her criminal conduct ( practice of law without a license).

If our story on the King County ( which we believe extends to every county in this state is not enough to start removing judges and lawyers from office, I’m not sure what is) animal abuse scam, a racketeering enterprise designed to fleece the taxpayers of Washington State for a small few to line their pockets with the gold of others, isn’t enough to push reforms inside the Washington State Bar, I believe its time to start a new Reformed Washington State Bar.

Something hundreds of us reformist already started ( Rwsba.org coming soon).

---

The letter signed by several members of the POLB, including ex-chairman Scott Smith stated there has been countless clashes between the POLB, and the Bar’s Director over the POLB’s role in regulating the unauthorized practice of law.

“The treatment of the practice of law board over the last three years is a textbook study on how to discourage and disempower a board comprised of volunteers: oppose their mission; cut their budget; withhold meaningful staff support; personally attack and seek to oust the volunteers who disagree with you; conduct secret meetings to discuss the future of the group without informing its volunteer members or inviting them to participate; dismiss or reject out of hand the volunteers’ concerns; and replace the group’s members and leadership team,” the resigning board members wrote. “There is no surer way to demoralize a group of volunteers and undermine their good intentions.”

The POLB was set up as an independent entity under the Washington State Supreme Court, but partly funded by the state bar.  Although it as structured so that POLB would not be unduly influenced by the rest of the bar association,  the POLB letters of resignation stated the Bar’s Director has undermined and even threatened the POLB with elimination on multiple occasions.

Threats that we believe amount to Racketeering, extortion, bribery, and threats against persons property interest.  In December 2014, the United States Supreme Court held in FTC v North Carolina Board of Dental Examiners that if the supervising branch ( in this case the Supreme Court) is not actively supervising its Board members, then they are subject to lawsuits, with no immunity, under Sherman Anti-Trust.  see http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/north-carolina-board-of-dental-examiners-v-federal-trade-commission/

Several Racketeering and Anti-Trust law suits have been filed against the Washington State Bar in U.S. Federal Court, only after public records confirm that the Washington State Bar’s Directors, counsel, and Board members are guilty of extortion, threats, and bribery.

The POLB’s resignation letter supports that the Bar is being dominated by Board members who are threatening members who have a difference of opinions. As attorney Smith claims ” to dominate  and control the Boards.”

---

“The Washington State Bar Association has a long record of opposing efforts that threaten to undermine its monopoly on the delivery of legal services,” the resigning board members wrote. The 13-person POLB is now down to four as a result of resignations.

The Washington State Bar Association said that the letter contained “significant misinterpretations and misunderstandings.” The letter also maintained that the POLB, when reinstated, was instructed to focus on consumer protection and explore new ways for non-lawyers to provide legal and law-related services and to cease its enforcement activities.

“Access to justice and the protection of the public are unwavering commitments shared by the Washington Supreme Court and the Washington State Bar Association,” Robin Haynes, president-elect of the Washington State Bar Association.  Ms. Haynes was just elected in June 2015.

POLB disgusted members also noted that the WSBA Board of Governors voted unanimously to eliminate the POLB in May 2012, a month before the Washington Supreme Court formally adopted the LLLT rule. The supreme court voted to reinstate the POLB in June.

POLB chairman Smith says “The composition of board is critical,” Smith said. “If you can control who is on the board, then you can control the outcome. [Chief Justice Madsen] rejected our opinions on who should serve on the board, and the court was putting off having a conversation with us about our concerns. As a volunteer board, it’s pretty hard to get a whole lot done if we don’t have support.”

“If the board is no longer independent and becomes a rubber stamp for the state bar, then it’ll prevent any meaningful reforms to solving the access-to-justice gap,” Smith said.

Bravo to attorney Scott Smith for having the courage to stand up for Justice.  Your letter  of resignation will prove very helpful in my Racketeering, ADA, and Sherman Anti-Trust suit against the thugs inside the Office of Disciplinary Counsel.

In early 2018, the Gold Bar Reporter exposed Snohomish County Public Defender Association documenting that Snohomish County Public Defender and the County Prosecutors are fixing criminal cases.

Nazi Germany, “alive and well inside Washington State” 

Nazi law and order was predicated on the idea that all individuals shall be subordinate to the state. Adolf Hitler enacted strict laws prohibiting political opposition, and free speech. It was Hitler who decided what societal norms were, and it was he who outlawed any behavior he deemed as ‘anti-social behaviors’’, including alcoholism, drug addiction, begging, promiscuity, political dissent, prostitution and homosexuality.

Snohomish County Defenders Association, throwing cases gaining political favor

The Snohomish County Public Defenders Association clams to be a non-profit 501(3)(c).   It’s director is Vicki Norris, a partner at the law office of Anderson Hunter in Everett.  Ms. Norris is married to a Washington State Court of Appeals Division I Judge Robert Leach.  With no surprise, Robert Leach was also a partner at Anderson Hunter law firm in Everett.

Anderson Hunter law firm has one of the largest civil defense contracts with Snohomish County, its managing partner is G. Geoffrey Gibbs, a Pro Tem Snohomish County Commissioner, and a person who manages the financials ( 18 million annually) for the Washington State Bar Association.

So this means, Vicki Norris, is not only the Director of the Snohomish County Public Defenders Association, she is also a civil defense contractor to provide a legal defense when Snohomish County gets sued for malicious prosecution.

Imagine this.  You’re charged with a crime inside Snohomish County Washington. You’re poor and cannot afford a lawyer. Snohomish County refers you to a taxpayer funded public defender, whose director is Vicki Norris, a partner at the law firm of Anderson Hunter Snohomish County’s largest contractor providing civil defense.

So not only does the Snohomish County Public Defenders Association rely on government money for its existence, it’s Director, a managing partner, is also receiving money from the County to defend against lawsuits filed against the County for civil rights violations.

If that’s not bad enough, you also learn that Vicki Norris’s husband is a Court of Appeals Division One Judge, whose friends inside Court of Appeals Division One will influence your appeal, whether criminal or civil.

a dishonest scheme; a fraud, throwing cases for political and financial favors are just a few words that come to mind, when I think of Snohomish County Public Defenders Association.

First Step to Throwing a Case, Deal or No Deal

When I think of our criminal justice system, I think of a game show, Deal or No Deal. It’s a television game show that revolves around the opening of a set of numbered briefcases, each of which contains a different prize (cash or otherwise). The contents (i.e. $$ amount) of all of the cases are known at the start of the game, but the specific location of any prize is unknown. The contestant claims (or is assigned) a case to begin the game. The case’s value is not revealed until the conclusion of the game.  Technically, the game is stacked against the player ( the accused).

The analogy here is simple; when the Snohomish County Public Defenders Association and its managing directors’ hold the largest contracts with Snohomish County justice is perverted, and cases are thrown as political favors, and financial rewards ( contracts), resulting in justice being perverted in favor of the almighty dollar.

One such case thrower is attorney and Snohomish County Public Defender Jason Schwarz.

Former Washington Post Watergate reporter Bob Woodward was right, ” follow the money.”

---

 

In the middle of 2016, I began investigating a simple criminal misdemeanor case involving a seventy-year old petite nurse, who is alleged to have assaulted a neighbor.  The neighbor stands almost six feet tall, weighs well over two-hundred fifty pounds, and just happens to be the tenant of Anderson Hunter’s managing partner, G. Geoffrey Gibbs, who if you remember is also a Snohomish County Commissioner.

In Judge Downes’s warped sense of justice, exercising your legal right to challenge corruption is worthy of a $70,000 SLAPP fine, especially when doing so involves suing his good friend and County commissioner G. Geoffrey Gibbs.

In 2011, G. Geoffrey Gibbs was being sued by the seventy year old nurse for infringing on her property.  At the same time, Gibbs’s tenant who lives next door to the nurse alleges that she was assaulted by the nurse.

First point of order, the alleged victim goes to court for restraining order. DENIED. So when the restraining order didn’t work, G. Geoffrey Gibbs sends an email to Everett city attorney and his personal golf buddy Michael Fisher and says ” charge her anyways so she will have to expend a large retainer…”

Imagine, your claiming you’re a victim of crime, you go to court seeking a restraining order, the judge denies your request, basically stating there’s nothing here. Then, your landlord, who just happens to be a county commissioner write to the Prosecutor, who happens to be his golf buddy, and you’re then charged with assault. It’s now six years later, and her case is still pending.

What caught my attention about this case was a just two years out of law school Snohomish County Public Defender Jason Schwarz was acting as a ” Pro Tem Judge.”

As an investigative journalist with a Juris Doctorate degree here in Washington State, I remember saying ‘what makes a recent law school graduate qualified to serve as a judge?”

US House of Representative House Speaker Tip O’Neil once said ” all politics is local.”  This famous quote leads me to believe what US House Speaker Tip O’Neil meant was all things in our lives are affected by local politics.  But instead of paying attention to local politics, which is the hot bed for corruption, our duopoly, Democrats v Republicans, or our so called democracy  have Americans fighting over abortion, welfare, and guns.

Reporter Bob Woodward came up with an easy solution to uncovering corruption, “Follow the money.”  Under Woodward’s general principles  of ” follow the money”, corruption equates to money, political influence in exchange for political favors, this here in Snohomish County equates to fixing cases to gain a financial benefit.

After watching Everett Municipal Court maliciously prosecute a 70 year old nurse with no prior criminal history, I began investigating Snohomish County Public Defender Jason Schwarz for corruption.

Sadly, I write in remembrance of my Constitutional law and ethics Professor who said ” Our criminal justice is failing. Anne, I know you’re going to instigate change where change is needed ( boy was that an understatement). This generation cares nothing about the rights of the accused…” At the time, I had just completed a Juris Doctorate degree and had no idea what he meant, but thanks to attorney Jason Schwarz, I do now.

Snohomish County Public Defender Jason Schwarz “the biggest lawyer looser” 

 

For Snohomish County Defendant Jerry Bogart, Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe’s Office failed to disclose to Jerry Bogart that Snohomish County Sheriff’s investigator David Fontenot is a known Brady Cop guilty of excess of force and terminated as a result.

But this story didn’t end here.  In 2016, at the bequest of another blogger who couldn’t attend another trial, Brady Cop David Fontenot was the investigator on another case involving a mother of five, a small business owner, with no prior criminal history, named Lori Shavlik.

Soon after hearing of Ms. Shavlik, I started sifting through her files, learning quickly that Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office not only failed ( really hid) to disclose information it had in its possession as it relates to Brady Cop David Fontenot,  he was also a witness against her and allowed to assist the Snohomish County Prosecutor during trial.  This in front the jury; in criminal cases all witnesses are supposed to be sequestered.

Thankfully for Ms. Shavlik a jury acquitted her of all charges, seeing through the countless fabricated evidence and false testimony presented by Brady Cop David Fontenot in her case.

Snohomish County Prosecutors’ ignore the constitutional rights of defendants, spit on Brady v Maryland like its a piece of toilet paper, and have rigged Snohomish County’s criminal justice system against defendants by contracting with one law firm, claiming falsely that Snohomish County Public Defenders’ Association is not a public agency and its managing partners from Anderson Hunter, for the delivery of legal services.

This conduct reeks of Sherman Anti-Trust issues, another topic for another day. However, public defender and Washington State attorney Jason Schwarz is team player inside what I consider to be gross Sherman Anti-trust violations and a racketeering scheme, fixing cases to ensure convictions.

“When honor and the Law no longer stand on the same side of the line, how do we choose[?]”  Anne Bishop

In 2016, the Honorable Justice Alex Kozinski held in the Joshua Frost case, said King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office violated a rule requiring the disclosure of information material to the case “by willfully withholding evidence of Shaw’s domestic-violence plea deal and permitting Shaw to lie on the stand.”

Justice Kozinski said the prosecution’s tactic were deliberate, and not an oversight. The County Prosecutor’s public records officer Kelli Williams kept Shaw’s signed plea agreements secret until two days after Frost was convicted and the office stonewalled in providing Frost this information when he doggedly requested it.

But the truth is, King County’s withholding of evidence to ensure conviction is governed by Association of Washington Cities (AWC).   AWC insures almost all public defenders, counties, cities, and its employees here in Washington State.

A few weeks ago attorney Jeffrey S. Myers, said ” We cannot settle this suit because Anne Block requested records and would benefit financially.  We will not let her win.”  Jeff  S. Myers, an attorney with Lyman, Daniel, Kamerrer, and Bogdanovich, is a contractor for AWC, located in Tumwater Washington.

Snohomish County and its contractors such as Snohomish County Public Defenders Association are all members of AWC.

So imagine, not only are you using a public defender whose managing director is a managing partner in Snohomish County’s largest civil defender law firm of Anderson Hunter, and Snohomish County government are insured through AWC.

Throwing cases, AWC style 

The hand shaking brings me back to attorney and Snohomish County Public Defender Jason Schwarz throwing the Jerry Bogart case in exchange for political influence, and government contracts.  A few months ago, an objective observer witnessed Jason Schwarz bragging to another person how after the Bogart case he was setting up his own private practice.  One source claims that Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office as a reward plans to divert public defense monies his way, because Schwarz helped the Prosecution throw cases. Bogart was no different.

On November 22, 2017, I witnessed attorney Jason Schwarz put his client Jerry Bogart on the stand, having him testify against himself.  From any objective observer, it was clear that Jerry Bogart’s IQ is less than 75, thus in my opinion he was not able to fully comprehend the charges against him. Hence why Bogart was assigned counsel.

Looking through parts of the Bogart files, it’s clear that the Prosecutor did not have a case, unless Bogart admitted guilt.  As a result, Jason Schwarz needed to convince Bogart into testifying. However, Jason Schwartz and the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office had one problem, Washlite Board member and local activist Lori Shavlik had been visiting inmates in the County jail trying to get the word out about the county’s undisclosed Brady Cop David Fontenot.

As an activist interested only in justice, Ms. Shavlik was handing over Brady Cop Fontenot’s criminal history files over to defense attorneys and inmate, while I was emailing judges informing them of Brady Cop Fontenot, placing Fontenot’s files into the public record forever. This resulted in Jason Schwarz and Snohomish County restricting inmates from having Lori Shavlik on its visitors list.

Obviously when defendants have information that leans in their favor, and withheld in violation of Our Supreme Court’s holding in Brady v Maryland, they tend to say wait a minute, not so fast. Jerry Bogart was no match for attorney Jason Schwarz, and since Lori Shavlik had been restricted from visiting inmates, Jerry Bogart was left to rely on attorney Jason Schwarz.

According to Jerry Bogart’s family, attorney Jason Schwarz relentlessly convinced him to testify against himself.  Why, because the Prosecutor’s Office had nothing, and Schwartz needs legal contracts to set up his private practice.

As one can imagine, Jerry Bogart, a man with a very low IQ, at the relentless urging of his defense attorney Jason Schwarz testified against himself.  On November 22, 2017, Ms. Shavlik and I popped into Judge Janice Ellis’s courtroom and witnessed, in part, Bogart’s testimony. if Jason Schwartz conduct wasn’t bad enough, I sat, in tears, watching Judge Janice Ellis standing up just aside the jury box, as Bogart testified, nodding her head up and down, in agreement, when the Prosecutor questioned Jerry Bogart.

 

What Lori Shavlik and I witnessed Judge Janice Ellis do was commit egregious judicial misconduct, ensuring conviction of man, with a low IQ, one has to wonder if he even understood or could fully grasped the charges that were lodged against him.

After public defender Jason Schwartz had Jerry Bogart testify against himself, the jury only spent two hours to issue a conviction on all counts. After the jury was released,  Lori Shavlik and I spoke to several jurors who told us ” Bogart testified against himself and gave the Prosecutor what they needed to convict”  another said ” Not sure why Bogart testified  because up until then the Prosecutor had nothing” and another said ” I don’t care.”

Judge Janice Ellis’s judicial misconduct will be forever imprinted in my head, and leaves me struggling to sleep at night.

Both Jason Schwartz and Judge Janice Ellis were contacted for comment. As of today both have refused comment.

 

I agree with the Honorable 9th Justice Alex Kozinski, we have a major problem inside our so called criminal justice system.

Misuse of Snohomish County facilities, resources and time

Not only is Snohomish County Prosecutor Sean Reay being sued for racketeering – threatening to arrest citizens for trying to serve a court issued subpoena, lying on court documents, and trying to get citizens charged with crimes for exposing John E Pennington’s criminal abuse of children and women here in Washington State, now, public records reveal that Sean Reay is operating his own private company, an arbitration firm, misappropriating public funds, and misusing county offices/facilities, and falsifying his county time sheets.

According to County Council members, ” a salaried person is not allowed to hold a second job, nor are they allowed to use county resources for their own personal gain…”

Public records retrieved under RCW 42.56 ( Public Records Act) documents that Sean Reay signed a ” oath of office”, but he must have failed English at Norte Dame or simply believes himself to be above the laws of Washington State.

Revised Code of Washington are very clear that Sean Reay has one job, Snohomish County Prosecutor. However, public records reveal that he is operating his own private arbitration firm misusing county facilities and while being paid by county taxpayers.

We also discovered he is falsifying Snohomish County time sheets, claiming that he is working for Snohomish County.

Snohomish County Prosecutor Sean Reay is being sued for racketeering, gross 1983 violations (threatening to arrest citizens who engage in First Amendment protected activity).

Falsifying time sheets ( certifying your working as a Prosecutor when you are not), misusing taxpayer facilities for your own personal gain, and misappropriation of public funds for your own personal company, may not be his biggest problem in 2018.

Late last year, Snohomish County taxpayers were fortunate to catch Prosecutor Mark Roe in a similar scam called Dawson Place. A company Mark Roe set up to deceive citizens and hide public records of his domestic spying games ( running illegal background checks on citizens and then disseminating their crimes via an alleged non-profit group Mark Roe, Adam Cornell and Seth Dawson set up to hide public records ( claiming that Dawson Place is a non-profit company).

Dawson Place is being sued for its crimes against citizens.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Washington State Supreme Court, exparte legal advice exposed in public records, helping the Racketeering Enterprise “Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office”

Washington State:

Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office needed a little boost helping protect the Racketeering Enterprise, so what did the Washington State Supreme Court Clerk do?

According to public records, Washington State Supreme Court clerk picked up the phone, made and gave free legal exparte contact with Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Public Records Clerk Caroline Darrow ( who was caught via public records helping Sister Sara Di Vittorio help hide public records involving Snohomish County Executive Officer Brian Lewis hide public records the Gold Bar Reporter requested.

The officer who blew the whistle, Pam, was threatened by Prosecutor Sara Di Vittorio and later fired for blowing the whistle on Brian Lewis and Sister Sara Di Vittorio’s criminal racketeering conduct. Both Sister Sara and Brian Lewis are being sued RICO and 1983 offenses in US Federal Court, with depositions expected this summer.

Until then, the Gold Bar Reporter continues to request access to public records from the County and just learned today that not only is US Federal District Court Judge Richard Jones and Chief Judge Ricardo Martinez helping the Enterprise with free exparte legal advice, but so is the Washington State Supreme Court.

In late 2017, Snohomish County released public records documenting US Federal District Court Judge Richard Jones was also giving exparte legal advice to Snohomish County Prosecutors’ Office on how to get legal fees in Block v Snohomish County et al.

The article as published on the Gold Bar Reporter, dated November 30, 2017:

Western Washington U.S. Federal District Court Judge Richard Jones pulls one for the team

                                               

Judge Richard Jones                                             Judge Jones’s law clerk, Juanita Clemente

More evidence of why Judge Richard Jones, a Washington State Bar member is bias and should be removed from hearing any cases involving his agency colleagues and friends ( the team)

After the Everett Washington Daily Herald caught Snohomish County executive employees Kevin Thomas Hulten, John Pennington, Christopher Schwarzen, Executive Aaron Reardon and Jon Rudicil criminally harassing and cyber-stalking Gold Bar Reporter Anne Block, right from Snohomish County Offices, Executive Aaron Reardon was forced to resign in disgrace.

Kevin Hulten plead guilty to evidence tampering only because Block had placed a litigation hold against Kevin Hulten and Snohomish County ordering the county and its employees to preserve all records in native format. But instead, Kevin Hulten two weeks after receiving Block’s litigation hold intentionally destroyed files between Kevin Hulten, John Pennington, and Gold Bar’s Mayors Joe Beavers ( convicted assault, Texas) and Crystal Hill ( nee Berg, convicted of bank fraud, 2000, 2005).

Kevin Hulten was recently caught on camera and charged with stealing from two stores in Colville Washington, and a source from Colville County recently told the Gold Bar Reporter ” His lawyer has been trying to get the Prosecutor to agree to a diversion program because Kevin Hulten’s is a drug addict.”

John Pennington, Jon Rudicil, and Christopher Schwarzen were all terminated after public records reveal Snohomish County government was also cyber-stalking their opponents an anonymous website titled  ” The Sky Valley Chronicle.”

 

In the case of John Pennington, county public records also document that he spent most of his time trying to “hack” into the Gold Bar Reporter.

Judge Richard Jones and his law clerk Juanita Clemente, Exparte Legal Advice Exposed, Pursuant to RCW 42.56  

 

In February 2014, the Gold Bar Reporter had enough; she filed Racketeering and 1983 (civil rights) suit in US Federal District Court. Assigned to Block v. Snohomish County et al was Western Washington Judge Richard Jones.

 

Imagine this.  Two local news reporter exposes Snohomish County Executive Officers criminally cyber-stalking you, forcing you to file a suit seeking damages.  Instead of having an honest judge, a dishonest judge is assigned who not only dismisses your suit  ( that was already proven by two news reporters), issues a personal statement of bias against you inside his bias one-sided orders, and then assist the county and its agency officers with trying to SLAPP down your message by hitting you with attorney fees, remembering that the Everett Herald already exposed the County and its officials for gross civil rights violations.

 

Welcome to Washington State, where there is no difference between the Judge and the Agency, thanks to Association of Washington Cities (AWC) committing Sherman Anti-Trust and RICO violations against any citizen who dares to challenge an agency. An agency that Judge Richard Jones himself was a part as a Washington State Attorney General.

Once Judge Richard Jones learned by Block’s court pleadings that the Gold Bar Reporter had emails between the Washington State Bar Association lead counsel Linda Eide and John Pennington documenting a very very personal relationship existed, Sean Reay and Terrie Lawrie came up with a plan to file a false declaration with the court claiming that the Gold Bar Reporter had threatened Reay.  When in fact, there was another witness present who saw no such threats nor any interaction between Reay and Block.

Judge Jones got what he needed to allege ‘litigation is spiraling out of control ” closed out Block from adding additional defendants, also known to Judge Jones as the Washington State Bar Association, which included his good friend Linda Eide and Doug Ende at the Washington Bar ( an association that he benefited from by receiving endorsements).

Adding more evidence to judicial misconduct, last week Snohomish County turned over public emails from Judge Richard Jones documenting that Judge Jones and his law clerk

 Juantia Clemente gave Sean Reay and Snohomish County a little exparte legal advice

 

 

 

EXPARTE LEGAL ADVICE, CANNON RULES VIOALTED  

According to the American Bar Association:

The prohibitions on ex parte communications apply both to judges and lawyers alike. From the perspective of judges, Rule 3B(7) of the ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct (MCJC) provides generally that, except as authorized by law, judges may “neither initiate nor consider ex parte or other communications . . . concerning a pending or impending proceeding.” The MCJC, however, provides for certain exceptions. Judges are permitted to engage in ex parte communications for scheduling, administrative purposes, or emergencies, but only if they do not deal with substantive matters, do not confer “a substantive or tactical” advantage on any party, and are promptly communicated to absent parties, who are to be afforded an opportunity to respond. A judge may also confer ex parte in order to settle or mediate a case-but only with the consent of the parties.

Parallel rules of professional conduct likewise long have forbidden lawyers to engage in ex parte communications. Rule 3.5(b) of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct states that “[a] lawyer shall not . . . communicate ex parte with [a judge] except as permitted by law.” The comment to Rule 3.5 makes clear that the rule broadly incorporates by reference the proscriptions of the MCJC. The prohibition applies to clients or other intermediaries acting at the suggestion or direction of a lawyer, and to ex parte contacts not only with judges but also with “hearing officers, court clerks exercising important discretionary functions, and similar officers.”

 

Judge Richard Jones and his law clerk Juanita Clemente apparently didn’t believe the County government and its employees, like Snohomish County Prosecutor Sean Reay, didn’t have enough financial and government resources or hutzpah to defeat the Gold Bar Reporter Block on their own, Juanita Clemente and Judge Richard Jones pulled one for the Enterprise giving Snohomish County Prosecutor Sean Reay free exparte legal advice at Block’s expense.  

If Judge Richard Jones and his law clerk Juanita Clemente’s exparte legal advice wasn’t bad enough, when Block called the clerk asking for direction on a non-legal issue, Judge Richard Jones issued an ORDER THREATENING GOLD BAR REPORTER that if she contacted the Court again, he would send out the US Marshall.

 

Apparently to threaten Block who was contacting the court about a non-court document that was misfiled in PACER.

Judge Richard Jones’s Judge Richard Jones issued an ORDER THREATENING GOLD BAR REPORTER violated basic First Amendment rights of all U.S. Citizens.  But in the scheme of where Judge Richard Jones came from, and why he decided to SLAPP down the Gold Bar Reporter’s civil rights suit ( which was basically handed to her by Everett Herald), one can assume that Judge Jones is not beholding to the Unites State Constitution, only his friends inside the Washington State Bar Association that managed to get him appointed.

Although this email was requested under RCW 42.56 in April 2016, Snohomish County Prosecutor and RICO Defendant and Snohomish County Prosecutor Sara DiVittorio (Above) illegally withheld this public email from the Gold Bar Reporter for over a year and stripped the metadata, thus committing more predicate acts in violation of RICO, 1983 and a felony in Washington State ( Injury to public record).

More Evidence of RICO, Snohomish County Sean Reay’s crimes against citizens 

On a side note; Snohomish County Prosecutor Sean Reay threatened to have Gold Bar Reporter and another investigative journalist arrested in August 2017 after Snohomish County Superior Court issued a subpoena for the deposition of Snohomish County Prosecutors Mark Roe and Adam Cornell.  This after public records revealed that Snohomish County created a secret agency titled “Dawson Place” to hide law enforcement investigations. Why, so Snohomish County could claim Dawson Place was a 501 (3)(c) and didn’t have to comply with RCW 42.56 (Public Records Act).

Welcome to Washington State, it’s a great place to raise children if you enjoy having judges, agency employees, lawyers trump up criminal charges on you, threaten and extort your livelihood, molest children, cyber-stalk you using foe online websites paid for with government monies, harm you financially, extort your professional licenses and withhold public records committing felonies to ensure convictions and violate your civil rights.

According to Washington State Supreme Court Justice Barbara Madsen’s opinion in Re; Discipline of Block, a missing page gets your appeal dismissed. No exceptions according to Justice Barbara Madsen.  However, Snohomish County just got an exception from Justice Madsen’s clerk.  The above email communication is more evidence of RICO conduct, but this time involving the Washington State Supreme Court.

As far as we know, the 9th Circuit Chief Justice Sidney Thomas has yet to take any official Judicial misconduct action against Seattle US Federal District Court Judge Richard Jones for clear judicial misconduct

Justice Sidney Thomas received a Writ of Mandamus in Block v WSBA et al in May 2017 and has sitting on it ever since.

A copy of Block’s Writ of Mandamus:

On October 11, 2016, several citizens involved with the “Reformed Washington State Bar Association” protested the Washington State Legislature’s refusal to address the Washington State Bar’s racketeering offenses against Washingtonians.

Activists had three copies of the U.S Constitution, delivering one signed copy to Governor Jay Inslee, one copy to Attorney General Bob Ferguson, and one copy to Washington State Supreme Court Justice Barbara Madsen with the following words ” a gift for you, because its clear you lost your copy!”

Today we are pleased to announce the public release of a Writ of Mandamus and proposal for a new lawsuit for racketeering and civil rights conspiracy.

In April 2016, Washington State Supreme Court Justice Barbara Madsen and former law clerk Ron Carpenter collectively conspired to destroy records at the Supreme Court. After Ron Carpenter was caught destroying records, he resigned and immediately left Washington State.

The complaint  centers around public officials in Gold Bar, Snohomish County Washington, and the Washington State Bar Association conspiring to harm the Gold Bar Reporter’s news source because we exposed at least six of Washington State’s top corrupt officials including Aaron Reardon, Kevin Hulten, Jon Rudicil, Mark Roe, and John E Pennington.

The Writ of Mandamus was filed in United States District Court, 9th Circuit Court of Appeals remains ignored in violation of US Appeals Court Rules.

writ click to the left for a copy of Writ filed against Madsen.

The complaint documents the greatest assault on freedom of the press in the history of the United States.

Anne Block has achieved a degree of notoriety in Snohomish County as the only reporter in the state to break a story involving corruption at the highest levels of government in Snohomish county. Chief Executive Reardan was forced to resign after a story published in the Gold Bar Reporter revealed that Reardan used taxpayer funds to finance affairs with two women employees. According to the complaint, Anne Block even had receipts to show airline tickets purchases, hotel receipts and receipts for sex toys used in Europe during the affair.

According to the complaint, before Reardan resigned, he assigned two employees to organize a “false flag” operation against Block, by having the employees pose as disinterested observers with aliases to organize a campaign to disbar Block. He had another employee destroy county records to hide the affairs. That employee was eventually convicted of destroying evidence. As a result of the evidence being destroyed, an Island County prosecutor concluded that he did not have enough evidence to prosecute Reardan for misuse of public funds.

In enlisting support for the bar complaints, the false flag operation gained the support of two other Block targets. John Pennington had been attacked in the press by Anne Block and other newspapers such as the Seattle Times and the Everett Herald as being unqualified to hold the position of emergency operations director of Snohomish County. According to a study conducted by the IRS, John Pennington received his college degree from a diploma mill which sold the degrees at a flat rate. According to the RICO complaint, Block published stories how Reardan acted on Pennington’s advise in allowing houses to be built on the Oso mudslide site even though professional engineers described the site as unsafe. The mudslide that eventually occurred resulted in the deaths of 43 citizens.

John Pennington was terminated as result of his criminal conduct. Last week, the State of Washington had to pay out $60,000,000.00 ( yes Million) as a result of John Pennington’s criminal negligent conduct in the Oso mudslide .

John Pennington could not sue directly because he is a public official, so he turned to a personal friend at the Washington State Bar Linda Eide to have Block disbarred for reporting on John Pennington’s incompetence and police documented criminal activity.

The false flag operation also enlisted the support of public officials in Gold Bar Washington, Joe Beavers and Linda Loen, who had their own problems with Block. Block had initiated a public disclosure suits when the town officials refused to turn over documents related to the theft of the towns funds.

According to the complaint, town officials illegally diverted approximate 20% of the town’s budget to finance a campaign to discredit Block. This included planting defamatory and false information on an online BlogSpot the Penningtons helped set up in 2006 titled the Sky Valley Chronicle, to advocate residents physically assaulting, stalking, and intimidating Block supporters, and further assaulting and stalking two city council members until they resigned for supporting Block.

Members of the RICO enterprise even published verbal threats in local newspapers to murder Block if she showed up at City Council meetings.

According to Block, WSBA officials fixed the case against her by pre-selecting a hearing officer Lin O’Dell to guarantee conviction.  Ms. O’Dell was caught using her convicted killer boyfriend Mark Plivilech to intidate ther elderly clients and was cited by Judge Monasmith in Stevens Court Superior Court for stealing from her client and breaching her ethical duties. Instead of getting disbarred for stealing from her client, O’Dell managed to get herself assigned to hear a non-client political appointee’s complaint against Block for her news reports with no client.

Public United States Post Office records confirm that Lin O’Dell and her convicted killer boyfriend Mark Plivilech set up a post office box three blocks from John Pennington’s home in Duvall Washington for purposes paying off Lin O’Dell to ensure a conviction against Block. O’Dell and Plivilech live in Cheney Washington, a four hour drive from Duvall to Cheney.

The Washington State Bar has no jurisdiction to regulate free press nor get involved with any issues of a personal nature. But Washington State Bar counsel and friend to John E Pennington Linda Eide violated Block’s civil rights and issued an illegal subpoena for Block’s Gold Bar Reporter files.  Block told Linda Eide ” go get a subpoena! Media Shield and First Amendment protects news reporters and authors from turning over any file without a court order. Go pound sand!”

According to Block’s Writ of Mandamus, the WSBA chief hearing officer pre-selected a business associate, Lin O’Dell who had formed a partnership with a convicted killer Mark Plivilech ( Bar hearing officer Lin O’Dell’s partner of choice)  to form a construction company that profited from the Oso building site.

Public emails sent from Lin O’Dell further documents that she used her killer boyfriend Mark Plivilech to intimidate vulnerable. Plivilech illegally used their social security information to gain access to their credit, and in several of O’Dell’s clients ( mainly elderly) Plivilech a convicted killer was managing O’Dell’s clients accounts.

According to the Washington State Attorney General a convicted killer is not allowed to have access to vulnerable adults. Background checks on Plivilech document that over ten of O’Dell’s elderly clients accounts were compromised by Mark Plivilech and attorney Lin O’Dell.  Since Block broke this story, Plivilech has fled to the Placentia California area.

According to two witnesses, the hearing officer prevented Block from participating at her hearing by muting out the phone connection through which Block had appeared because of her hearing disability. Washington Bar records retrieved under the public records release also confirm  O’Dell and Eide did this intentionally to prevent Block from participating in the hearing.  Then, the hearing officer concluded that Block should be disbarred for not participating.
According to Block’s complaint, what happened to her is typical of the practices in violation of Sherman Anti-Trust and racketeering laws committed against its members by the Washington State Bar Association.

Since 1992, the Washington State Supreme Court has come under heavy criticism from the American Bar Association in three separate studies over 40 years for delegating its disciplinary activities to the WSBA, a practice the ABA likens to putting the fox in charge of the hen house.

According to the complaint, Washington is one of the few remaining states that put its bar association in charge of lawyer discipline, with the result that Washington has one of the lowest charging rates of attorney discipline in the nation. The complaint charges that attorney discipline is focused almost entirely on sole practitioners, minorities and enemies of the WSBA leadership. According to the complaint, 44% of all attorney discipline comes out of Snohomish County. Block charges the reason this occurs is that two WSBA officials in Snohomish County improperly use their influence to direct discipline toward their opponents. Block charges that these two officials improperly contacted the Gold Bar City Council, illegally provided them with confidential information, in violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct and the rules regarding enforcement of lawyer discipline before there were any bar complaints even filed. The suit also accuses one official of filing anonymous complaints to conceal the fact that he is improperly influencing the cases.

As a result of the information contained in her complaint, Block is demanding a federal grand jury investigation concerning the misuse of public funds by her opponents and the denial of her civil rights.

Block will be in Olympia this session demanding that the Washington State Legislature “abolish” the corrupt Bar and place all disciplinary proceedings in the hands of ” we the people.”

Writ of Mandamus, 9th Circuit 

 

 

During the late summer, the Connecticut State Bar and Vermont  Bar Associations called the Gold Bar Reporter to let her know that John Pennington, Crystal Hill and Miquel Tempski ( Snohomish County Prosecutor) made phone calls misusing county resources to make false and derogatory statements to extort Block into not holding corrupt government officials accountable.

Michael Kennedy at the Vermont Bar will be added to the next racketeering suit after public emails between Snohomish County Prosecutors and the Vermont State Bar Associate Michael Kennedy document gross racketeering offenses, sent via wire from Vermont State Supreme Court in Burlington to Snohomish County Washington.
