Anyone who has ever been involved in or knows anything about Liberty County politics will be familiar with the name John Christian Archer. Archer has made himself known for his involvement in politics, from running for state office as a young man to running the political scene of Liberty County. On the exterior, it would appear to most that Archer was a lover of his country and his county. But on closer review, those who know Archer realize that he is a master manipulator in the political arena. It was Archer whose redistricting plan for commissioner’s precincts was pushed through back in the early 2000’s and gave part of the Dayton area to the Raywood, Liberty and Devers commissioner. This was Archer’s answer to keeping the democrat voter balance in the precincts in order to keep the democratic commissioner’s in office. Can anyone spell gerrymandering?
John Archer also trained his staff well. His long-time legal assistant was no other than Liz Beausoleil, wife of questionable Liberty attorney Mark Beausoleil, who is alleged to have committed mail fraud by removing mail addressed to Judge Chap Cain and taking it to Beaumont to make copies of the check enclosed.
What was working in John Archer’s mind when he presented a 'Petition to Remove' Janet Harrelson from the office of County Treasurer back late one night in December 2002?
In a petition filed today, January 18, 2011- Harrelson alleges that the Petition to Remove, filed by Archer, was a fraudulent act. In the Petition to Remove, Archer accused Harrelson of abusing her position as County Treasurer, a case Harrelson was acquitted of by the 9th Court of Appeals in Beaumont. Thus, the allegation was fraudulent. Secondly, Archer requested Harrelson be removed from office due to breach of fiduciary which is not a reason, by statute, for removal. Archer, a Liberty County attorney, should know how to read the statutes, so we can only assume that he just didn’t care that he was filing a fraudulent document, fully knowing that doing so was not legal.
Archer recruited 15 other individuals, many of them elected officials, to sign off on the petition to remove Harrelson from office. One such official was former District Clerk, Melody Gilmore. It remains unknown as to whether Gilmore was a player in this case, but it was recently discovered that the case removing Harrelson from office was non-suited in 2007, without notice being served on Harrelson’s attorneys, which leads to an additional claim of fraudulent concealment.
Janet Harrelson through her Attorney, Joseph Willie has sued Liberty County and John Archer of Liberty, Texas.
Stay tuned…

Smooth move Little trying to run the statute on Janet. Too bad, so sad
Little will get the same kind of "removal from office" notice that Donna Brown served Melody Gilmore!
Is John "Lover Boy" Archer the same person as John Christian Archer?Is this the same man as the one known by some as Allen Youngblood's drinking buddy?
Master manipulator? Married to the longtime head of Habitat for Humanity who has yet to drive one nail in one 2 x 4 for any poor person's home.......
Is Archer still on the top of Bill Buchanan's "Most Admired" list after helping his wife run the Democratic Party in the ground?
Harrelson knew that archer had been paid trash sacks full of money by the county and was questioning why, she sealed her fate.
Mike Little sealed the deal to shut her up and discredit her.
Little, you are not a man, you are an aberration of a human being and corrupt to the core.
Harrelson will have the last laugh on Little.
Let me guess, Archer will hire- Zbranek, Picket or Norwood. What a bunch of bafoons.
Maybe all the corrupt attorneys in Liberty getting sued and will be sued can get a group discount.
Like I said above, Janet Harrelson did not do this alone. She had help from the Liberty Mafia to have her son over for dinner and then moved to Dayton prison.
Maybe this was entrapment in order to get her out of the way.
Do I remember correctly that Archer and Harrelson dated for a short time until she DUMPED him? Guess this time it was the man scorned who decided to get even!
Yes, Alan visits the Archer resident quite often. He has a press tag hanging from his mirror, LOL!
Ray, what is this noise that the snake Buchanan is now reporting..."Janet Harrelson is seeking permission to file suit against Liberty County and former Democrat Party Chair John Archer over her removal...So far, no suit has been filed." The snake says she's 'asking permission to file..and no suit has been filed'. You said a suit HAS been filed and I'm believing you over the snake. Do you have a copy of the lawsuit that proves the snake is lying?
