The feds can't help but view all this under title 18 as a can of worms. Conspiracies before and after the fact, campaign issues, constitutional violations, cover ups, conflicts of interests.
As we speak the feds are pulling the pieces together as a public corruption matter with RICO as a driving force as this 'clan' is as we all know is well organized.
Some of these jerks are in too deep to go to the feds THEY THINK!!!
But it may be the only way they can save their own skins.
Meanwhile any or all of us that can help 'connect the dots' for the feds will help accelerate the process.

You would do us proud.

Wish I'd thought of it, har har!

oldlawdawg wrote on December 18, 2007 07:41 PM: The amendmendments to the $100 campaign limit enacted a year ago by the Supreme Court was not retroactive to cover Gate's conduct. This is a whitewash in a continuing effort to cover for Suopreme Court Justice Mike Cherry, the initiatior of the amendment who forced it through with other "changes" because he accepted over $500,000.00 in campaign contributions in his unopposed "walk" to the Supreme Court in that same election cycle, thereby raising speculation that he, too, gave some of those funds to other candiates, most likely Supreme Court candiate and now Justice Nancy Saitta. This situation demands a special prosecutor, niot a whitewash. The ciondeuct of Cherry and the Supreme Court regarding judicial campaigns has been nothing shgort of unseemly and a violation of separation of powers to cover misconduct and, quite likely, crimes by judges now sitting on the Supreme Court, including Cherry and Saitta, and quite likely Hardesty, as well as judges of the Eighth Judicial District. The Supreme Court actually filed a petiotion with itself upon which it held a quick heraing in private and passed new regulations which it then used to broker a deal with the Governor and legislature to avoid new laws absolutely prohibiting the collection of campaign contributions by a candiate in an unopposed judicial race. This entire situation is one of the most blatant cases of mass corruption in recent Nevada judicial history.

"He's indicated it was a personal matter, a personal family matter," she said on Nov. 28, adding that judges are not required to provide a reason for leave.'

Lets hope he has been invited to Washington DC for meetings with the Department of Justice regarding a few issues.

That's how they do it!!!

definition: 'The Synagogue of Satan is comprised of those who profess to be something they are not. They are also liars, that is, teachers of false doctrine. They lead many astray. See to it that you know who the Synagogue of Satan are, and do not follow them.'

They say they serve the interests of justice but they only serve their personal interests.

Washington, DC - Combating public corruption is the top criminal program investigated by the FBI. Over the last two years, FBI investigations have lead to the conviction of more than 1,060 government employees involved in corrupt activities, to include 177 federal officials, 158 state officials, 360 local officials and more than 365 police officers. The FBI's highly sensitive public corruption investigations focus on all levels of government. No other law enforcement agency has attained the kind of success the FBI has achieved in combatting corruption. This success is due largely to the cooperation and coordination from a number of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies to combat public corruption. These partnerships include, but are not limited to the Department of Justice, Agency Offices of Inspector General; law enforcement agencies' Internal Affairs Divisions; Federal, State and local law enforcement and regulatory investigative agencies; and state and county prosecutor's offices.
