As any Investigative Reporter knows if there is something government
wants to hide they will go to great lengths to hide it. When that happens, it
is up to the Investigative Reporter to go to great lengths to find it.
Such is the case with SPD yet again, you would think they
would learn that my sources are as solid as a rock.
Amazingly there is BWC Video, and an IA Case…but come on 85 days???
If you are wondering where the City Council is on all the
SPD problems…you got me…you’d have to ask them if you can catch them when they
aren’t out running for election to some office.
Gosh…yet another Matt Shea story by Daniel Walters from the
Inlander. There have been so many Shea stories all over the Media lately they
are hard to keep up with. This one is about a conspiracy to send a severed wolf
tail and testicles to some environmental activist. It isn’t clear from the
reporting that Shea actually went along with the conspiracy but by golly there
may a Pulitzer Prize somewhere in all this coverage of Shea…who knows.
At least now as far as Shea is concerned not only the Media
but also the FBI, House Democrats, and possibly the JTTF are investigating Shea
so all those folks should be able to come up with something to have Shea either
indicted and sent to jail, impeached, or even perhaps help to not get him elected
again…we will have to see. But in the meantime, it looks like we can count on
endless Matt Shea stories.
I’m not really clear on where we stand on killing wolves
whether it is legal in Washington or not, but if it isn’t legal and this Cabal kills
a wolf illegally to send body parts to an environmental activist that would be
a good story I would think?
With the Print Media struggling financially these days I
don’t think anyone would dispute that clicks on Print Media social media sights
are helpful in getting important advertising dollars. I don’t know maybe it is
a good idea for reporters who do stories to help out the click count but it
seems a bit over the top to me.
The character in this Cabal that really interests me isn’t
so much Matt Shea, I’m more interested in Anthony Bosworth and his friendly
relationship with Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich. You might remember
Ozzie was going to be a witness for Anthony Bosworth when he was arrested at
the Federal Building, but for some reason Dave Stevens decided not to call him.
Ozzie did answer the beckon call and did show up at the Federal
Court House.
We haven’t heard much from Ozzie lately but when I wrote
these stories long ago and in true Ozzie fashion he had to try and mitigate my
good, very credible and reliable sources down at the Federal Building who weren’t
happy with Ozzie sticking his nose in the Bosworth arrest.
One of the interesting things about Anthony Bosworth is that his history pretty much parallels that of Ozzie’s old friend Ed LaStage who Ozzie later admitted was his informant and supplied Ozzie with information on Militia folks which Ozzie in turn passed on to the Feds…so I can’t help but wonder?
Yes, indeed Anthony Bosworth is an interesting fellow!
Here is a link to the IA Case. Keep in mind that the only reason Lydia Taylor wasn’t fired is because she along with her husband were members of a group referred to as Straub’s “Golden People”.
And I can see no reason why he wouldn’t be since some of the
vetting included contacting Spokane folks!
For folks that don’t recall William (Bill) Hyslop was a member of the Use of Force Commission which eventually led to the COPS/DOJ Review of SPD and even though former Mayor Mary Verner got it rolling by requesting a DOJ Investigation, Mayor Condon and then Chief Frank Straub opted for the toothless COPS/DOJ Collaborative Reform model.
Since Mr. Hyslop was a member of the UOFC I can’t help but
wonder how he feels about the fact that several of the Commission’s
Recommendations were never implemented, or for that matter neither were some of
the Recommendations in the COPS/DOJ Collaborative Reform Review.
Sources tell me that although some of the issues at the
local US Attorney’s Office which took place during the James McDevitt and
Michael Ormsby tenure have been cleaned up not all have so if Hyslop is
confirmed he might have his hands full.
For those of you going back and
mining my old stories, as I mentioned before my CFO ordered me to cut down on
my ADOBE storage, so I had to delete some things as a cost saving measure. She
has since allowed me a somewhat bigger budget, so I have gone back and replaced
some of the old PDF File links.
Regarding the stories above ere you
go with what I thought were the most important because they are depositions
under oath, and although that doesn’t necessarily mean they are truthful
chances are good that they are.
