Liberty Dispatch has been given information that spies in the Liberty County Courthouse have been intercepting 'official' email communications and website traffic since 2008.
The spying centers on mainly the emails of Judge Chap Cain, then later Judge Mark Morefield, Judge Tommy Chambers, County Judge Craig McNair and Sheriff Henry Patterson and Department.
The persons alleged to have operated the 'law-enforcement grade' software and hardware spying devices on the Liberty County servers are Vickie Locke and John Gaudet. Recently they were relieved of their IT job by County Judge Craig McNair and prior IT administrator Darrell Taylor was rehired.
The people alleged to have been the masterminds of the "spy ring" and recipients of the illegal intercepts were Liberty County DA Mike Little, Texas Ranger Frank Huff, Former County Judge Phil Fitzgerald and past Liberty County Judge “Rusty” Hight.
After being soundly defeated in the most recent election, Past District Judge “Rusty” Hight completely wiped his Liberty County issued computer hard-drive along with all the county programs and emails. Next, “Rusty” Hight removed from his office the entire county owned law book library to his relative's law office, Liberty County attorney Zbranek and Baker.
Former Liberty County Judge Phil Fitzgerald and Commissioner Lee Groce have both since been indicted by federal grand juries. Liberty Dispatch has also been given information that federal prosecutors have an interest in the illegal intercept spy ring. Federal prosecutors have worked honestly and diligently to protect the interest of Liberty County as relates to FEMA monies.
Meanwhile, the emails of the above named county officials continued to have their emails illegally intercepted by Liberty County DA Mike Little and Ranger Frank Huff. Recently, Liberty County Sheriff Henry Patterson has created an initiative to uncover and have Liberty County Corruption investigated and prosecuted.
As of this date it is unknown whether criminal complaints have been filed. It is unknown if Liberty County Sheriff Henry Patterson or the FBI have started investigations.
This type of illegal activity by Little, Fitzgerald, Hight and Huff is an outrage against the people of Liberty County.

we have a difficult situation. It's too late to work within the system, and too early to just shoot the b*st**ds.
Why does Toby Wilburn's name come to mind?
Either Mike Little is participating in the crime around the courthouse or he is too damn dumb to catch stuff going on right underneath his nose.
Criminals trying to see if anyone is outstealing them?
I am totally shocked! Democrats in the courthouse trying to keep Republicans out of the courthouse ..... by any means necessary.
Let me guess which of these county officials will have terminal deceases or cancer all the sudden for sympathy and defection from their crimes...
Let me assure you... Vicki Locke never had the computer know-how to hijack anyone's email and John Gaudet was always too busy trying to build an IT empire for himself to do anything else. So you'll know... county email comes to individuals through a commercial system that does a reasonably good job of protecting privacy. Enough monkeys dedicated to a task might accomplish something, but Vicki Locke and John Gaudet aren't part of that monkey corps.
a monkey could intercept email with today's software
Getting the email without anyone knowing separates Man from Monkey...The programs used by law enforcement will let law enforcement to view any key stoke made by its operator. Monkey...not on your life! Jack-Ass's maybe, Little, Huff and others, you can count on it. Remember J. Eger Hoover? He files on everyone who was anybody, John Wayne, Shirley Temple, Clark Gable just to name a few.
who installed the software found within the courthouse computer system that opened the window to see e-mails in everyone's inbox etc
anyone connected to this crap should resign now.
announcing the new LD original stage play, 'the history of Liberty County', aka "Bubbaland- the beginning." All of the locals are played by locals.
The LD play portrays the rejection of the locals by every genteel state of the Old South. In scene, after scene, locals are found to be misfits- in locales with Southern Gentlemen and Southern Belles (note: those characters had to be imported!).
None of the locals were found to have either Southern Charm nor Southern hospitality. You could dress them up, but you couldn't take them to a ball, at any Southern plantation.
They finally moved west, to Liberty County; where they became trailer trash, inbreeders, insiders, schemers, criminals, and ultimately- civic leaders.
Yes, Little, Groce, Fitz, duhhNesa, and a host of others- all appear in LD daily, as themselves.
Go see it daily, right here on LD. It's free! rofl
NEWSFLASH: cadaver dogs, possible dismembered bodies, news 13 helicopter enroute, LCSO, FBI involved... all in HARDIN... source: KTRK TV news at 5 today...stay tuned...

again, it's too early to work within the system, and too early to just shoot the b*st**ds!!

It is not entirely too late to work within the system. This news site still has some impact and there are good people within the system trying their best to turn things around. We can not afford to lose hope and give up on this. Everyone who cares MUST TAKE A STAND and do whatever they legally can or we could reach a far worse place where "shooting the b*st**ds" appears as an option to some. Such situations are far worse than we can now imagine. The rule of law must be restored without such action or the price will be too high. It is very difficult to restore the rule of law through actions that are generally considered unlawful.
newsflash: Cleveland fills council seats, vacated by recall. Number 3 seat goes to Carolyn McWaters and Number 4 goes to hispanic George Cuellar. Only seat 4's appointment got a unanimous vote. Installations are to be held at next Tuesday's regular council meeting. We'll see what the new appointees bring, and which people's puppets they are...
BS: we'll give 'em a 'fair trial' (so, we 'worked within the system', wink, wink.) THEN, we'll line 'em up and 'just shoot the b*st**ds. Why waste a perfectly good lariat?
Where's Judge Roy Bean when we need him? lol
to the poster of 'cadaver dogs': nothing was found, only duhhhNesa crying 'wolf' to national media. She sure stuck her foot in it, this time. The phony tip was from some female 'psychic' who claimed dismembered children's bodies in one house yesterday, then a different one this morning. LCSO is investigating the tipster, and should be investigating duhhhNesa for starting a phony national story, without the first journalistic guideline- CONFIRM, repeat, CONFIRM all information!!! see

Does anyone need further justification to ditch subscriptions and advertisers in that piece of duhhhNesa trash??
Stick around, LD. You're our only media in LC.
QUIT throwing away four newspapers in my circular drivway! If you want to give people a newspaper who do not want one, fine. But four?
This Psychic supposedley was from North Texas but was in Austin when she made this false call about the bodies. Something smells like a fish here. If she made the call, then her phone number should have show up on caller ID. Check the phone number and let us know who she is. DUH LOL.
oh REALLY? So, how is it that she knew that they went to the 'wrong house' on Monday, being in Austin?
Gaudet? Is that the guy who spent most of his time building his own little IT kingdom in the courthouse?
There is definitley corruption in this courthouse! You better look really close to find who the culprits are! Favors done for favors! Put up cameras! Listen in on calls! Watch what access you give to the courts records and scheduling!!! I keep hoping and praying that you will catch them!!!
