Sometimes in the course of our very busy and our sometimes very hectic lives we need a reminder or a brief recounting of the background of what all has gone on to get us where we are today on a situation. Today we will look at one situation and remind readers of the facts in order to try and slow down the lies of what has become an entrenched community of public prosecutors who would rather be lazy and political and defensive than to simply do their job.
The District Attorney’s office and the County Attorney’s office seem to be hoping the public will believe either of two stories as they continue to defend themselves rather than change the way they conduct their business.
One of their defenses has been to tell people that they have “secret strategies” that only lawyers would understand. The endless delays, the cases that go on for years, the known crimes they fail to pursue, the corruption they ignore and the feds prosecute, etc. etc. – these are all part of their secret “supersmart” strategy they say us voters are simply too ignorant to comprehend. Liberty Dispatch has talked to several of the elite in the legal field in Liberty County and several outside this community and all have had similar reactions. They all either cocked their heads back and laughed or they immediately shook their heads in frustration.
The second of their defenses simply requires a little review to get the same laughter or head shaking reaction. Their second defense is to say all of their criticism is coming because of politics or more exact because they are prosecuting criminals and not pursuing people that there is no evidence to prosecute. Among the most infamous on their list of people they failed to pursue is ever growing and includes former County judge Phil Fitzgerald (currently under federal indictment) and Lee Groce (currently under federal indictment). Readers also are aware of others such as Liz Beausoliel (video evidence connects her to mail theft and possible other crimes), Chip Fairchild (for crimes so numerous we will save time by referring you to past stories, Russell Fairchild (ditto), Terri Fairchild (ditto), Delia Sellers (crimes related to document fraud linked to a minimum of five real estate deals), C.T.”Rusty” Hight (theft), Richard Baker and Zack Zbranek (alleged reception of stolen property), Royce Wheeler (alleged theft of almost two thousand rounds of ammo), and the list goes on and on. The common denominator is they are all Democrats and that their appears to many that there is plenty of evidence that has already been uncovered to go to a grand jury on all of these cases.
So who have they pursued. Two Republicans. Was it for public corruption? No, in fact the two Republicans just happen to be long time enemies of the District Attorney and activists who have vowed to dedicate themselves to emptying the courthouse of Democrats. So how do District Attorney Mike little and County Attorney Wes Hinch spin this. They simply try to get the public to forget which came first. They want to say this website and these two men all came about to pressure them because they are doing their job – which they want us to believe is spending four years and hundreds of thousands of dollars on Liberty County vs Akins and Shauberger. The only problem with that is the evidence. Not withstanding the fact that the evidence shows that Akins and Shauberger are clearly the victims of two criminal business partners, the answer to which came first, District Attorney Mike Little’s persecution or their political activism is simple. Democrats frustrated by losing their grip on controlling on what was being said and revealed about their activity championed former Sheriff Greg Arthur (a Democrat) and former District Judge C.T. “Rusty” Hight (a Democrat) and District Attorney Mike Little (a Democrat up for re-election in 19 months) on a search and destroy mission to shut up their opponents.
Just like the age old question “which came first the chicken or the egg” has a factual answer that is connected with all kinds of other truths so does the question of “which came first aggressive public Republican protest by Akins and Shauberger or their alleged “crimes”. The chicken came first for anyone who is a Bible believer. If someone or something has convinced you otherwise, then all of the other truths in the Bible may be a matter of conjecture.
One main difference in the ridiculous claim by Little and Hinch however is that in the matter of the Bible it requires faith no matter which you believe came first. But their argument that they are being unfairly maligned because they are simply prosecuting criminals and some of them have decided to respond publicly requires more than faith to believe. It requires people to forget the criticism came first. It also requires people to totally forget all of the selective prosecution based on politics we have seen from these prosecutors. It requires us to totally ignore recent revelations of their lack of responsible prosecution and oversight of juvenile delinquents. It requires us to ignore their strong arm tactics involving the budget and its relationship to the actual results they achieve as prosecutors.
The chicken came first. And the corruption in this courthouse is why there is criticism and why there will be more arrests, more indictments, and more trials. If some fall for the “shoot the messenger” or the “indict the messenger and drag him through years of expensive wrangling” strategies, theN perhaps even more will see through it and continue to pass on the truth and throw these people out of office.
