CHARLESTON — Suspended West Virginia Supreme Court Justice Allen Loughry was arrested by the FBI Wednesday morning and will face 22 federal charges after a grand jury meeting in Charleston indicted him Monday.

Loughry will face charges including mail fraud, wire fraud, witness tampering and lying to federal agents. The indictments had been sealed and weren't acted upon until Wednesday, when federal agents showed up at his house at about 7:30 a.m.

U.S. Attorney Mike Stuart announced the charges during a press conference at the Robert C. Byrd Federal Courthouse in Charleston.

I did not check any fact checking service because I do not know of an honest one. You might.

I’ve not heard any confirmation of it though which given todays media is not unique.

The question that must be asked is, “Is this a political witch hunt?” There is every likelihood he acted consistently with the behavior of every other justice on the court and of the bureaucracy in general, prosecutorial claims to the contrary notwithstanding.
The occasional use of a public vehicle for personal use and moving a piece of office furniture from one office to another are not in and of themselves more than scofflaw violations, certainly not worthy of life in prison. As to the refurbishing of office space the budget was apparently in place to do this.
This smells at a deeper level. This was a highly recognized judge with many years of experience. It is impossible to believe the government officials of WVA are so pure in every detail of their professional lives that actions such as these are rare and exceptional, requiring criminal charges. There may be more to his purported criminal behavior but it is not apparent from this article or from the published pieces about him available online.
Adding to these concerns the fact that the FBI is intensely politicized leaves grave concern for the legitimacy of these charges.

I am neither and I know enough not to respond to questions by an FBI agent or policeman without my attorney present.

Or a voice recorder. It is my understanding that if you show up with one, they will not interview you. That is because what the FBI writes down will be used as Holy Writ against you. If you deviate from the trabscript later on, you are in violation of the law.
