Re: Hey Mr. Mayor, about that affair you didn't have... UPDATED W/ 50% more evidence

Today's hilarity: Kilpatrick tells city staffers they DO have an expectation of privacy on text messages sent on city-owned devices, contrary to the electronic-communications policies of 99.999999997 % of the civilized world.

yeah. THAT will hold up in court.

And it's too late to save Kwame.. kinda like un-peeing in the pool.

 

Re: Hey Mr. Mayor, about that affair you didn't have... UPDATED W/ 50% more evidence

Yeah, as in the huge majority of these things, the defense of the accused miscreant is "it's not fair that they found out."

The defense of "I didn't do it" is rarely heard.

Today's update: Mayor McThug sets his sights on another cashbox he can stick his fingers into: Federal grants.

The Free Press (by long reputation the more liberal and Democratic-leaning of the two dailies), goes Hiroshima on Kilpatrick.

Today's fun fact: In light of Mayor McPimp's move Friday to put himself in charge of the administration of federal grants, it turns out he was earlier funneling money to his posse from STATE grants.

It's just feeding time at the hog trough. The fucker just doesn't care.

Latest update: The council that wants him gone (OK, actually, many of the ones who don't want him gone) is under investigation by the FBI for taking kickbacks and bribes....

FBI targets 4 on council

By DAVID ASHENFELTER, ZACHARY GORCHOW, BEN SCHMITT and JOE SWICKARD • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITERS • July 1, 2008

The federal probe of a controversial sludge disposal contract focuses on at least four Detroit City Council members and is shaping up to be the city’s biggest public corruption scandal in decades, sources told the Free Press on Tuesday.

They said the widening investigation also extends to council staffers, city departmental personnel and people outside government -- with several people caught on FBI surveillance audio and videotape accepting “payoffs” from James Rosendall, an official with Houston-based Synagro Technologies, a waste-management company.

Two sources said Rosendall exploited a “pay-to-play” environment in city government.

The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the probe’s sensitive nature said they were surprised how cheaply some public officials could be bought.

“If you’re going to trade your vote, you’d think it would be for a lot of money,” one said. “Four figures is not a lot of money. They were selling their votes in volume.”

At least everyone in Detroit can rally around the Lions.

Come on.. the Lions aren't corrupt, they just suck.

If I was a taxpayer in the city of Detroit I would seriously consider physical violence against city council members.

 

Re: Hey Mr. Mayor, about that affair you didn't have...UPDATE: Has THIS taken a turn

Monica Conyers would fight back.
Martha Reeves would pay people to do it.

Kilpatrick faces more accusations of infidelity; charges may be revised

By Joe Swickard, Jim Schaefer and M.L. Elrick • Free Press staff writers • July 7, 2008

Armed with newly obtained text messages, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy is poised to accuse Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick of cheating on his wife with multiple women in an expansion of the perjury case against him, Worthy’s office confirmed Monday.

The decision, mentioned briefly in a court hearing last Thursday, suggests that Worthy is prepared to aggressively rebut a campaign by defense attorneys to discredit text message evidence compiled against the mayor.

Attorney Len Niehoff, who teaches evidence at the University of Michigan Law School, said accusing Kilpatrick of lying about affairs with women besides former aide Christine Beatty could improve Worthy’s chances of winning a conviction.
