Did One GOP THUG Reveal Too Much About Himself In a RECENT THREAT?

" Early on in the blogging game I realized that if you are going to present real journalism about legal and political corruption, you had better be prepared to receive threats. Corrupt individuals and their allies don't much like it when you unmask them--or come close to unmasking them. So they resort to making threats, sent anonymously via e-mail or blog comments.


- But one of the more intriguing threats I've received came a few days ago, in response to a post about former Governor Bob Riley and his motorcycle crash in Alaska. This threat is curious because the sender left so many clues about his identity that he might as well have signed his name to it. And the message indicates that, as I've suspected all along, this individual and his allies are responsible for me being screwed out of my job at UAB--and probably for my wife being cheated out of her job at Infinity Property and Casualty.

It is beyond any sense of humanity to write such a pathetic article. But you did get one thing right: PAYBACK IS HELL ....and yours is a "fait accompli".

- Note the use of classic sociopathic language. The sender takes me to task for lacking a "sense of humanity," then he proceeds to show that his own sense of humanity involves extracting "payback" on people who displease him. He doesn't say that my payback will be hell, he says it's a "fait accompli." What an interesting choice of words. "Fait accompli" is a French term meaning "an accomplished, presumably irreversible deed or fact." In essence, it's a "done deal."



The use of this phrase indicates My Correspondent (MC) is fairly educated, especially since he spelled it correctly. It's the kind of term that someone in a certain profession, perhaps the law, might use. In fact, a source knows of a specific lawyer, a regular villain in our Legal Schnauzer story, who uses this phrase quite often. Given MC's ire over a post about Bob Riley, it appears that he is someone close to the former governor, perhaps someone very close, with a legal background. Hmmm.

track to incase he/she leaps off the pages....

He was mentioned in the testimony that whistleblower Jill Simpson gave to the Conyers committee about Riley using US Attorney Leura Canary to go after Don Siegelman. I have no idea if he's the person Legal Schnauzer is referring to, but he seems to fit the criteria. Her remarks are quoted here -- way down in the comments:

Q How did it occur to you to talk to Mr. Espy about these matters?

A In the fall of 2006, a Riley campaign person came by my office wanting me to meet with the governor at a — his birthday party out at Randy and Kelly Owens’ house, who Randy sings in the band Alabama and Randy’s bandmate, Teddy Gentry is my ex-brother-in-law, although he is still my brother-in-law. I mean, we get along. I see my ex-husband every day. But anyway, the thing is this, the governor was having a birthday party out there and they wanted me to meet with them to talk about some campaign stuff. And this lawyer asked me to do some things I did not feel comfortable with.

Mr. Sandler. This lawyer who?

The Witness. He was a disbarred lawyer at that time actually, but he had been a lawyer.

Ms. Lynch. Can I clarify? Was that the campaign worker or –

The Witness. The campaign worker is the lawyer. He was a disbarred lawyer working in the Riley campaign with a guy named Gerald Dial. And that lawyer’s name was Hoyt Baugh.
