EL PASO, Texas — El Paso's district clerk and a former county judge say they've been indicted in an ongoing public corruption investigation. District clerk Gilbert Sanchez told the El Paso Times on Friday morning that he was informed of the indictment Thursday night. He told his staff at the El Paso County Courthouse about the pending charges Friday. Sanchez, 41, has been among many targets of a corruption probe made public in 2007 when agents raided the offices of County Judge Anthony Cobos and a pair of county commissioners. He was expected to meet with the FBI before an initial appearance in federal court Friday afternoon. Former county judge and local attorney Luther Jones told reporters he was also indicted. He is also expected to appear in court Friday afternoon. FBI spokeswoman Andrea Simmons said she could not comment on the case. Both men have been continually linked to the years old corruption case that has targeted numerous current and former public officials, as well as lawyers. Three others have been indicted and 11 people have previously pleaded guilty. It is unclear what charges the men face.
It's about time Justice has been served..Now lock up these bums and throw away the key..New York should be next!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd if they only looked for this in New York, they would find a lot more!
ReplyDeletecome on up to New York guys you can make your careers here
ReplyDeleteYou are right they would find a lot more in New York but do you want so many to loose their jobs just because they have no choice in the corruption or retailiation/ retribution will occur...start offering ways to change the system
ReplyDeletereplace our Attorney Grievance with highly trained respectable lawyers who investigate police, lawyers, judges and public officials...they should handle ongoing cases and help us know our rights and the officials should be elected.......all complaints in one place then the pattern if there is any corruption will emerge
To the above....most likely a court employee...yes all those court employees that have committed crimes that regular non- court employees receive punishment for...must lose their jobs and be criminally charged.
ReplyDeleteDo you think because you are a court worker at any level...you are above the law? Then I will answer that question for you...you ARE not above any laws...although your employer... OCA.... leads you to believe you are.... to get you to commit crimes to cover for their top administrators and judges illegal acitivities ...so, yes your complicity must be punished!
Why is it that you judicially ordained people from the NY courts.... who sit next to judges .... work in the offices of the courthouses...or supervise for OCA...think you are something extraordinary and special... unique to any other workforce?
I saw you all daily, as the most ordinary, untalented unattractive people...with indescribable feelings of grandeur...judge everyone severely... who entered or worked within the the courts, that did not have your standard of conduct, did not fit your desired financial assessment of their personal lives or their choice of wardrobe was labeled intimidating, for your lack of having one that was never court appropriate!
Court employees and judges must be held to the standard that regular citizens are held to...but those who have given information before the investigation...should or could be saved!
Come forward or risk being fired and jailed!
No standard other that is acceptable to the very special and talented taxpayers and citizens!
trust me I am not a court employee,
ReplyDeleteI have continually had my rights violated in the 8th Judicial District and see what a mess it is to even get any help once an attorney has committed malpractice......and I am not talking small cases, these were large cases and this has not happened only once.....
I know to well the corruption at my cost and trust me I have been threatened if I say anything and more than once.........
If you are from the 8th Judicial District, we should talk, I am creating as much of a ruckus as I can until someone allows me some rights in the 8th Judicial District.....once we have the complaints in one room, we can bug their offices, tap their phones, check the bank accounts, have them audited and call it "weaselgate"
It appears that the 8th judicial district has let loose their most treacherous employees...the ones discussed by the above writer.
ReplyDeleteIf you have an issue..then present it..but petty rants about the 8th judicial corrupton that you are part of.... just gives credence to the above described remarks.
OCA has made a sad attempt to get on this website to counter all the truth that is out there now...but the real weasle is the coward writing!
OCA warned and threatened you not to go on this site..but you had to peak and defend the crooked 8th dist... during a Sat.
The truth is clearly stated above...times 10,000...oops..or does the 8th dist admin judge...et al... want to alter that amount after it is entered into evidence.
Whatever you are...one thing is certain...you are a perfect fit for the criminal courthouses of the 8th dist....you never did wear stripes well and you know why!
theOCA did not threaten me, my own attorneys did!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletedo you think maybe legal malpractice may have something to do with it
I just thank the Lord Townsend is not Admin anymore, maybe it should help what is going on in the 8th...
I am not a coward, I would love and cherish the thought of speaking in front of the Judiciary Committee
try to figure out an amicable solution to all of this if you are so knowledgeable, I am not, I am just a victim in this mess and I would rather not be in it but it has happened too many times to count
how ridiculous to have to call in the Feds because of lawyers & judges with no consequences...
Amicable solution is out of the realm because of corruption...my extensive knowledge will be revealed appropriately when it is time..it is too intense with fact, to open it up to anyone who says they are in trouble...I am not an idiot!
ReplyDeleteI cannot help you because I do not know you nor do I trust anyone that has not been part of this case from the start.
If you give me an idea who you might be..I will direct you to areas that I know OCA is weak in protecting themselves...if of course you are not an employee...as they must fend for themselves...accept for two!
Identify yourself to the administrator of this site and I will see who you are.
not an employee, nor would I want to be as I see to clearly the corrupton.......let's see in the 8th Terrance Flynn has quit and Townsend has been moved and as far as jury that may have been a set-up
ReplyDeleteThe Commissioner of Jurors has retired..........everyone seems to go to Townsend's firm...........
I understand your nervousness over the whole situation I can not tell you how suicidal they made me when I knew for the 3rd time and working on my 4th my rights have been violated.........and not small cases.................
have you ever heard of passing around fake paperwork to defame your name!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletethat would be me!!!!!!!!!
some lawyers in this area like to get their information from the mentally & sexually derainged and the insurance same artists and they think that information is true, and they try to commence a trial on that information, inquisitions or as I call it witch- hunt but they forgot to ask their client if that is true, because they would be breaking many laws if they asked the questions, including HIPPA violations, they should make sure they have the right person and the right information before they go spewing their vicious mentally derainged thoughts to one another and the judges should not listen to their yuk!!
ReplyDeletenot insurance same artists, it is insurance scam artists!!
ReplyDeleteso as I said
ReplyDeleteHow many do you want to loose their jobs, this has been going on for years and the obvious favors and personal vedetta's that are going on in our legal system must be vast........how do we stop it...
There is not any agency in place today to stop it, it is too vast
It is very hard to make sense of what has been spoken above...better and clearer detail is needed.
ReplyDeleteI do concur that Townsend leaving is a plus in the non-corruption direction...God knows how much damage she has done and OCA has covered her for...which is about to end with revelations of her complicity in criminal actions....as well as Jan Plumadore.
The Commissioners of Jurors was an absolute jerk that used his power to attempt to intimidate employees who had to tend to difficult and time consuming after hours... jury trials, paperwork ect...no loss there. But his replacement will be another OCA slug..for sure..they have nothing that is in place today that is not a hack and a loser!
Whatever you went through, you should outline on this blog to clarify the issues. It is difficult to assess your problems without knowing what the case is about, how the attys injured you, and what the threats were.
You are absolutely correct...there is no one to address this corruption in any catergory in the 8th dist..but contacting all agencies anyway and documenting everything and everyone you spoke to is important...because the future holds redress!
I am surprised you have not written about your issues before now...since it appears they have been long and ongoing. What kept you from addressing this sooner...since you have some extensive information about my case already...you must have been reading this blog for awhile. Curious?
West. Co. is waiting, when will John Kelly (former clerk) and Charley Scott (current) Surrogate Ct. Clerk's get locked up!
ReplyDeleteI agree with anonymous, June 6, 2009.Grow a set and come forward. Speaking of growing a set, where are the Feds in all this.Seems they have there heads up their arses. Purposley?
ReplyDeletethey made me fearful and as many times as they have ditched my cases and violated my rights I felt absolutely suicidal after their last witch-hunt, which did not work out to well for them..
ReplyDeletemany years ago, I should have had some lawyers disbarred, friends of Flynn, one even got a job at his office.......this continues with more violations of my rights from 2001-02 by my sheriff's and I was told then do not say anything they will get you, unfortunately before I retained proper counsel I was in a car accident, surgeries and still more treatments are needed, trial for car accident took place and guess what........
no witnesses, no experts, a juror(s)nurses gave told other jurors my tests were normal after accident
none of my tests were normal and all doctors statements state these injuries were from accident, not just doctors writing reports for my benefit, so the juror is suspect.........when told to appeal
"you were given no choice"
"they believed us" who is they
the trial was not even on the car accidnet, it was on a misdianosis a doctor gave me and the jury was told I had disease I have never had..........
I was not even allowed to tell how the accident happened and the jury said I got those injuries some time after the accident because of what the nurses said in the jury room, who buy the way work for the best friend of the doctor Flynn represented years ago........
They, whoever they are picked the wrong witch for their witch-hunt!
As I say I will continue to create a ruckus, it is obvious these attorneys do favors for each other and violate the people's rights...
What attorney is free from retribution or retailiation?
The Lord works in mysterious ways and as sad as I am being involved in this, it probably is best is Flynn is not a judge!
Those who harm others forget there may be a higher source and it will come back to you.....and it is beginning to........
so is the OCA
ReplyDeletethe office of corrupt arses?

A trial was commenced in the 8th on an unrelated and inaccurate medical history, a juror is suspect and when told to appeal
ReplyDelete"you were given no choice"
"you waived your rights when you agreed to a Summary Jury Trial"
"if you do not sign I will sue you"
I would not sign anything from that witch-hunt and with trying to report it "they were just trying to discredit you"
just get another attorney, so they can commence more illegal trials and not be held accountable!
hope they are reading
you got caught, once again
They should all be disbarred, what I failed to do years ago, so they continue to violate my rights!

I am sorry to say I still do not understand the type of case you had or what went on...but I do bleieve that you were treatened and by law enforcement...they are connected to the courts and believe their weapon is a given force to control everyone!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do not commit suicide or continue to feel depression.....because it is not you that has the issue..I can only guess...it is the criminal justice system that has imploded...law enforcement and they practicing attys...included.
Once you recognize that everything positive you do in an attempt to correct the injustices...is always a step to bust up the corruption...
Sorry about the last comment...I have a bad keyboard that stopped working before I finished.
ReplyDeleteI want you to realize that even if your cases are not resolved properly...you must always be willing to reveal the facts that have been corrupted and the people involved.
If you mention their names...what did they say will happen to you?
Whenever you meet with anyone you suspect that is involved ever again...tape record them...the devices are small and can be carried in your pocket....as are most cell phones that all take pictures.
The media in upstate and the FBI have to have proof of threats in their faces before they might even consider judicial/legal corruption. But they too are very timid about domestic terrorism...Bush must have brainwashed them to believe they can only weed out foreign terrorists and to leave America in it's own filthy ruination!
Good luck and I hope you can find support within your family and friends to ease the distress you are having....it is the system and not the citizens who are the criminals.
Just bide your time..it will happen....and whatever you do..do not contact the Buffalo Police Commissioner...he is lost in the lies of the system and needs to be replaced!
Maybe he will want to drink to that!
then the threat was true years ago I was not to say anything or they will get me and they did in Erie County Court........
ReplyDeletetime to have some of them investigated.......thanks for your support......
I have sent my name to Admin...
ReplyDeletesee I am not afraid to speak to anyone but lawyers, do not know who is covering for who anymore...will send more mails...
referring to this one......
