Walpin-Gate Suit Has New Motion
The Washington Times ^

Posted on 12/17/2009 10:43:31 AM PST by MadisonReagan

Complete with a raft of documents and exhibits, fired AmeriCorps Inspector General Gerald Walpin on Wednesday filed a motion for summary judgment in his lawsuit demanding reinstatement to his job -- his own motion not even waiting for the judge to rule on the Obama administration's motion to dismiss the case without hearing or trial. A close perusal of his motion, affidavits, and exhibits suggests to me, for the first time, that this case has potential to reach the Supreme Court regardless of how the lower court rules.... Thus we get a glimpse of the tangled web of interests and embarrassments of Obama allies on which the firing of Mr. Walpin put a kibosh. In logic if not in law, this raises the specter of obstruction of justice....

Authorities need to determine whether AmeriCore/ACORN colluded with public officials to get grants for phony projects (to launder govt money for campaign donations).

Liz, I'm glad you're staying on top of this story. What we saw of Acorn's corruption was the tip of an iceberg... there's lots more to come.

Thanks Liz you filled in the blanks of what I was getting to....How about having New Yorkers contact Andrew Cuomo?

http://www.oag.state.ny.us/
120 Broadway
New York, NY 10271-0332
(212) 416-8000

1. Walpin found a discrepency in where the AmeriCorp money went at CUNY.

2. Various news agencies report a link between Americore, Acorn, and Acorn Housing. (Before the Bartbreight material released)

3. Acorn has a pattern of being connected to voter fraud through out the US.

Plus your information. Boy do I need a cup of coffee!

ACORN is guilty of everything you list in 1 through 12. But the problem is ... Eric Holder. Him launching a Federal Investigation into ACORN and all its affiliates, would be like Heinrich Himmler looking into prisoner abuse as Auschwitz.

So IMHO, when the GOP takes the House back in 2010 Holder has to be their number one target of Barry's criminal organization, aka: 'Administration'. Have him in front of every committee, sub-committee, and sub-sub-committee -- testifying under oath 24/7/365. Then just catch him in one little 'discrepancy' in his testimony. And if he refuse to appear, no problem, have the House Sergeant of Arms drag him in handcuffed and shackled.

ACTION Taxpayers demand AmeriCore/ACORN audits and phone-logs, emails, and electronic transfers. POSSIBLE CRIMES Govt fraud, conspiracy, collusion to conspire, conspiracy to steal; theft of public property and official records.

I think Liz nailed the most serious Walpin find. If we ever want to have a legitimate election we need to get this corruption stopped. Please ask freepers on your list to contact IRS, FBI or Cuomo's office and to send this information to others.

Contact information is above in the thread...It wouldn't hurt to contact FOX news, Beck etc etc also.

Walpins finding were in two areas: NYC and CA. the Attorney Generals of those state have the power to investigate, indict and send to prison individual involved. Yes RICO and federal laws were broken, BUT the states have responsibilities too...and they aren't under BO’s thumb....yet

I agree, the states could do something too.

But the Federal Laws ACORN knowingly and flagrantly violated numbers in the hundreds, i.e.: Numerous counts of wire fraud alone. Then there's all the IRS violations.

Plus Federal convictions are stricter. The judges have sentencing guidelines they must follow as to a minimum of years. And iirc, a prison term of ten years means ten years. There isn't any 'day off per day of good behavior' as in states where you're out in five years (or 1/2 your sentence).

” Michelle being involved?”
Via Michelle Malkin - “The First Lady’s former chief of staff, Jackie Norris, starts her new job as “senior adviser” (translation: Michelle O’s mole) at CNCS.” “Michelle Obama’s installation as the face and voice of the government volunteerism boondoggle only deepens suspicions about the role she and her staff may have played in Walpin’s sacking. So does her past exploitation of the “community service” mantle to reward Chicago politicos.” http://michellemalkin.com/2009/06/20/americrooks-watch-meddling-michelle-obama-to-keynote-volunteerism-conference/

What we saw of Acorn's corruption was the tip of an iceberg... there's lots more to come.

Other crimes could include government fraud, multiple conspiracies, kickbacks, tax evasion (all of it to facilitate money laundering). Conspiracy counts alone might include mail fraud, electronic fraud, and accounting fraud.

L/E might consider:

(a) conspiracy to defraud the IRS, and evade US banking laws,

(b) international money laundering,

(c) conspiracy to commit money laundering, and,

(d) aiding and abetting the preparation of false federal/state income tax returns.

Authorities might examine the books to expose bogus charitable contributions (the IRS says this is the biggest n/p fraud---the MO to launder money). There could be multiple conspiracies and transfers of govt funds as part of a money-laundering conspiracy.

Government audits might show off-the-books bank accounts that were accessed solely by insiders, and that government-funds were used in various illegal schemes that might have integrated:

(1) money laundering,

(2) tax evasion (stolen money is taxable),

(3) violations of US banking and currency laws,

(4) conspiracy to commit wire fraud,

(5) commercial bribery in various financial schemes,

(6) establishing secret offshore bank accounts outside the purview of the IRS and US banking laws,

(7) fraudulent and casual accounting practices,

(8) non-existent financial oversight,

(9) having a hidden financial interest in companies faking business with the company,

(10) putting phantom employees on the payroll (money laundering).

It could be postulated that co-conspirators were helping to launder proceeds from drug cartels and organized crime activities into AmeriCore accounts.

There's a zillion ways to launder money. Drug monies could have been disguised by re-routing monies. Company may have routed the scheme through telephone lines with a maze of complex telecommunications' systems equipped with call-forwarding and voice mail systems, and numerous postal and commercial mail boxes..........and perhaps money-transfer systems that operate in ethnic enclaves and places like NYC's Diamond District.

Investigators may discover numerous falsified official documents.

Drug monies could have been disguised by re-routing through a network of domestic and international bank accounts using counterfeit checks.....opening commercial bank accounts in the name of bogus businesses and wire-transferring and/or depositing gov't checks into those accounts.

Phony checks could have had invalid bank routing numbers, forged endorsements, or been drawn on the proceeds of other counterfeit checks deposited in other bank accounts. Before banks discovered the fraud, the funds might have been transferred out of the accounts……probably offshore----leaving banks unable to recoup their losses.

State and federal tax authorities could have been swindled. In an international scheme with offshore ties, co-conspirators or subsets of them, might have obtained hundreds of taxpayer identification numbers for phantom citizens with worldwide addresses, and used the information to evade US taxes and banking laws.

In a classic fraud, co-conspirators might keep two (or more) sets of books. Methods may have included limited-recourse loans to artificially inflate "asset value," to fraudulently borrow real money based on “assets” that didn’t really exist.

ACTIONABLE OFFENSES MIGHT INCLUDE:
(1) Encouraging the filing of false documents;
(2) Rigging legislation to benefit a special interest.
(3) Forcing taxpayers to underwrite crimes against the state without their knowledge or consent (constitutes the crime of second degree coercion of taxpayers, and should beprosecuted at once);
(4) Not reporting crimes against the state (aiding and abetting).

Holder has to be the number one target of Barry's criminal organization (when Repubs takover). Have Holder in front of every committee, sub-committee, and sub-sub-committee -- testifying under oath 24/7/365. Then just catch him in one little 'discrepancy' in his testimony. And if he refuses to appear, have the House Sergeant of Arms drag him in handcuffed and shackled.

Mmmmmm...........love that scenario.

AMEN in 2010.
The filthy scoundrel will squeal like a Cupie Doll if only squeezed properly, that's a fact.
Hoping *someone* learned something from Clintingula, his imps & harpies and how to fall a wall.

"Mmmmmm...love that scenario."

Yesssssssssss! ;^)

Lucky you.
I've an ex-pal >{spit} who did road work for years. Difference between that one & you is when you return? It's to the beautiful surrounds of SC & the wonderful climate. ~eh?

"Avitar is 2 1/2 hours long! Better take a stadium cushion and a 50 lbs bag of popcorn."

And you know that, how?

Thing is a 2.5 hour film when compared to say LOTRs is short. As for a cushion? I'll sit in my 130# bride's lap. She'll look like a wheat stalk penny after a while. LOL
And even a popcorn lover like moi couldn't eat 50#s of the stuff if I had 6 months to do it. LOL

BTW.
We're not seeing that film 'til I've read what others, here, have to say about it. Even then it'll depend entirely on who's giving the review.
Just a FYI. :^)

I thought you and your better half were going to see it this afternoon? I don't think I could sit on my butt in front of my adoring fans for 2.5 hours. lol

No-no, you misunderstood what I said, or, I wasn't clear [enough].
Was going to a matinee, and surely not on opening day when even the matinees are likely to be crowded also with gawd knows who.
I'm rarely the first to do --or buy-- anything first, not until I've had time to peruse feedback. Been screwed enough times not being the first has become SOP.

"I don't think I could sit on my butt in front of my adoring fans for 2.5 hours."

Yea, it'd be a helluva lot easier if I could take a few Churchills & a bottle of fine cognac with. LOL

It looks like the movie is being well received, at least from the technical level. My wife wants to see the newClooney movie, “Up in the Air” which is only 110 min and has been reviewed pretty high.(Not that seeing Clooney in anything is plus for me, but at least he isn't Hugh Grant.) The new Sherlock movie might be worthwhile too but she hasn't pushed to see that one yet.

Yea, received by the shills.
I'll wait to hear what others, like myself, have to say.

"My wife wants to see the newClooney movie, “Up in the Air” which is only 110 min and has been reviewed pretty high.(Not that seeing Clooney in anything is plus for me, but at least he isn't Hugh Grant.)"

Hugh or no Hugh, Looney's out for us. Period. That means anything Loony ever.
That is how this home rewards Hollyweird's flakes.

"The new Sherlock movie might be worthwhile too but she hasn't pushed to see that one yet."

Big fans of Arthur Conan Doyle; however, we spoke of this film after seeing the trailers. My bride & I both agreed the Basil Rathbone - Nigel Bruce films would be awfully hard to top.

Moreover knowing Hollyweird, as we do?
We were unanimous guessing the Hollyweird flakes will butcher the characters Holmes, Watson, Mrs Hudson etc to a point where those who remember the novels and classic B&W films will be left wondering WTF we just viewed & feeling pick pocketed. Just as we have for 9 of every 10 motion pictures we've seen over the past umpteen years. It's a 'fool me once', thing.

Besides that a new Sherlock Holmes, even if excellent, is just as easily viewed on our home entertainment system as opposed to a visual extravaganza such as what Avatar's being promoted.
