Cocktails & Popcorn: Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel Replaces Special Prosecutor Flint Water Crisis Team - Federal Is Out - Wayne County Prosecutors In

Flint cocktails for "The Poors"
(always said with clinched teeth)

Why is Dana Nessel, the brand new Michigan Attorney General is "firing" the Special Counsel for the Flint Crisis?

First, she targeted Wayne County Prosecutor's Office legend Todd Flood with inference of replacing him, as a consultant, with the current Wayne County Prosecutor, Kym Worthy.

Then, she brings in Fadwa Hammoud, another former Wayne County Prosecutor to take over the investigation.

Now, she is getting rid of Andy Arena, former FBI Special Agent in Charge, who made a public declaration to go after the generational public corruption with the creation of a conjugal collaborative in Michigan governments.

Keep in mind that Matt Schneider, former Michigan Deputy Attorney General for Bill Schuette, is back as the Michigan Easter District U.S. Attorney and Barbara McQuade is on the Governor "The Gretch" Whitmer's transition team.

Dana does not look like she is being very nice playing in the conjugal collaborative.

It looks like she is trying to redirect the scope of the investigation, but hey, what do I know?

I know Andy falls under the FBI Enhanced Protection Whistleblower Act of 2017 and the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office used to be headed up by Mike Duggan, the current Mayor of Detroit.

I also know Dana does not want to talk about the 2016 and 2018 elections because she refuses to #sayhisname or that #perkinscoiesucks.

Based upon the following facts, I am going claim Dana Nessel as being a "Legal Genius" (trademark pending).

There is even an investigation in the U.S. Congressional Oversight Committee, led by Elijah Cummings, on the Flint Water Crisis, particularly what has happened to the lives Flint children, yet, Dana is more focused on pleasuring the women in her life, than the trafficking of tiny humans in Michigan.

Priorities.

FUN FACT! DANA USED TO PROSECUTE CHILD ABUSE CASES IN WAYNE COUNTY, BUT NEVER CHILD ABUSE IN FOSTER CARE

All I can say is that it is very, conveniently considerate, to lump all the former Wayne County Prosecutors, all in one office.

People profited from the Flint Water Crisis because it was intentional.

How do I know?

I know because you measure the ethics of officeholders based upon how they treat the children.

Right now, in Michigan, child poverty and infant mortality is increasing.

Let us see how this new Wayne County Prosecutor's Office gurls crew proceeds because the reasons for the replacement are quite questionable to being a cover up.

Hey, Bill...Smooches.

Andy Arena replaced as chief investigator in Flint water crisis

The chief investigator leading the state’s inquiry into the Flint Water Crisis will be replaced by a team member, who is a former Dearborn Heights police officer.

Andy Arena, the FBI Detroit office’s former director, was relieved of his assignment as head of the investigative team earlier this week, according to a statement from Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office.

Bill & Andy.
(This picture is art.)

Jeff Seipanko, a three-year member of the attorney general’s investigative team in Flint, will replace Arena.

Arena did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

The decision comes roughly two weeks after solicitor general Fadwa Hammoud was appointed to take the lead on the state’s criminal cases related to the Flint water crisis. Nessel said Hammoud’s role in the case allowed Nessel to avoid conflicts of interest by not taking a direct role in either the criminal or civil cases.

Flint Special Prosecutor Todd Flood, who along with Arena, were part of the Flint investigation and appeared with former Attorney General Bill Schuette in June 2017 to make the announcement of the criminal charges in the case. Flood could not be reached for comment.

“There is nothing more important to Attorney General Dana Nessel and to me than to bring these cases home,” Hammoud said in a statement Tuesday.

Seipanko has served as the officer in charge in all of the charged cases in Flint and is the “only certified law enforcement officer” on the team, an attribute Hammoud stressed as important in the statement announcing Seipanko’s promotion.

Since the preliminary hearings began in Flint over the water crisis, Seipanko has been a fixture in the courtroom, often times in the back or in private rooms and in constant contact and communication with the special prosecution team.

In January 2018, Seipanko testified at the preliminary hearing of Nick Lyon, the then-chief of the state Health and Human Services department, that he retrieved Lyon’s iPhone for information extraction. Lyon faces trial in the Flint water crisis case on charges, among others, of involuntary manslaughter.

Seipanko testified about a July 22, 2015, meeting in Lansing with Gov. Rick Snyder’s chief of staff Dennis Muchmore, urban policy adviser Harvey Hollins and Flint residents talking about the lead-in-water problem. A screenshot of a note from Lyon’s phone confirmed the meeting.

“Jeff Seipanko possesses the institutional knowledge and experience required to manage and direct all future investigative assets to bring these cases to conclusion,” said Hammoud.

Seipanko served with the Dearborn Heights Police Department for 29 years and retired from the department as a captain of the investigative services division.

In early January, Nessel asked Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy to review the Flint criminal cases, and Worthy was expected to make recommendations regarding the future of the prosecution, including Flood's future as special prosecutor. That review is ongoing.

Solicitor General Hammoud Selects Internal Chief Investigator for Flint Criminal Cases 

LANSING – Weeks after taking the lead on the Flint water crisis criminal cases, Solicitor General Fadwa Hammoud has selected a career law enforcement officer as the team’s new chief investigator. Jeff Seipenko, a member of the Attorney General’s Flint investigative team for three years, replaces Andy Arena, who had been appointed by former Attorney General Bill Schuette as chief investigator in the Flint Water Investigation. 

Hammoud relieved Arena of his assignment earlier this week. Seipenko has been imbedded as the only certified law enforcement officer with the Flint Water Investigative Team since its inception.

During that time, Seipenko has served as the Officer in Charge of all currently charged cases. “Jeff Seipenko possesses the institutional knowledge and experience required to manage and direct all future investigative assets to bring these cases to conclusion,” said Hammoud.

“It is important that we strengthen our internal team with certified law enforcement officers from within our department as we move forward with criminal prosecutions.” Special Agent Seipenko has more than 32 years of law enforcement experience, including 29 years with the Dearborn Heights Police Department. He retired there with the rank of Captain, leading the Investigative Services Division.

During his career, Seipenko has successfully led narcotic and surveillance teams, detective units, special operations and internal affairs investigations. Seipanko has decades of specialized investigative experience where he has managed and directed complex criminal investigations.

“We are committed to bringing justice to the people of Flint,” said Hammoud. “There is nothing more important to Attorney General Dana Nessel and to me than to bring these cases home.”

Prelude To Detroit: Andy Arena Is Back!

Hiya Andy!

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.

We have much stuff to do.

So sayeth me.

Former Detroit FBI head fears there may be more plots like Whitmer kidnapping

FOX 2 - Former Special Agent in Charge of the FBI, Andy Arena, admits that after Thursday's stunning arrest of 13 men who authorities said were plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the next few weeks are going to be rocky.

"I'm nervous over the next three or four weeks (about)  what we're going to see," he said.

Former Detroit FBI head says weeks leading to election will be rocky

Andy Arena spoke about the agitated political atmosphere saying he was not surprised at the plot to kidnap Gov. Whitmer.

The 13 men from two different militias are accused of plotting to kidnap the governor from her home in Michigan. The FBI was aware of the plot for months and the governor was moved to protect her family, attorney Dana Nessel disclosed to "CBS This Morning" on Friday.

Arena is concerned there may be more.

"There's just so much agitation out there right now, all over the political spectrum that I'm not shocked that we're seeing stuff like this," he said. "I think from a law enforcement standpoint, you really can't fixate on one side or the other. 

"I think you've got to look at anarchists, you've got to look at white supremacists,  you've got to look at these outside fringe militia groups and you've got to look outside. You've got to look at ISIS and radical groups like that. It would be a perfect time to hit us."

Many extremist groups are using the internet to recruit and radicalize, but it's sometimes difficult to know when it crosses the line from free speech to something far more serious.

"When you're talking about a threat to the governor, that's a threat to all of us and you have to take is seriously," Arena said. "You've got to make sure that this does not happen."

He's been in a similar situation before. It involved the Hutaree Militia out of Adrian, which was accused of surveilling law enforcement and attempting to build explosive devices. Federal authorities had recordings and undercover agents and informants but in 2012, a federal judge dismissed the most serious charges against them, ruling it was free speech and not domestic terrorism.

"When this gets to the court, they're going to (ask the) question 'Is this just a bunch of knuckleheads sitting around, tough talk, or do these people have the wherewithal to actually do this?'" 

Arena says the FBI can't just spy on these extremist groups so people need to say something if they suspect it's gone beyond First Amendment free speech to criminal activity.

"As U.S. citizens we don't want our government spying on us," he said. "But if you see something that may be enough for the FBI to take a look at it, who knows what it's going to lead to."

Looks Like FBI Has Been Running Up On Real Estate Fraud

Funny story.

I had just published a similar story on an FBI raid on a house in Virginia, but the criminal complaint detailed specifics.

So, in keeping with my mission, I felt it was only proper to preserve this raid.

When the raid went down, rumors began to encircle the Detroit gossip circles about what had happened and who was involved.

So, instead of listening to rumors, I just went ahead and did a deep dive.

I pulled the address of the home and found out that it was removed from the property tax rolls of the City of Dearborn and Wayne County Treasurer.

Then I found out the entire block was removed from the property tax rolls.

Then I remembered another "Elected One" who had his home raided by the FBI, where there was no published complaint at the time, but I thought I would deep dive the story, also.

Lo and behold, there were no property tax rolls for the entire street with the Wayne County Register of Deeds, nor were there any records with its respective city.

Then, it dawned on me, there could only be one connection in dealing with computer files.

FBI ran up on some real estate fraud and I bet it had something to do with the Detroit Land Bank Authority as Donna Shalala is all over Detroit.

I am going to stop there because there are some Meanies out there who like to do mean things, like ruining my day to foil their sad little plots, when I could be writing another salacious chapter of my epic romance.

But hey, what do I know?

FBI raid in Dearborn involves national FBIsecurity, but not a planned terror attack

A late-night FBI raid in Dearborn involves a national security issue, but it's not about a planned terrorist attack or explosives or anyone locally, the Free Press has learned.

 According to a source familiar with the operation , the Thursday raid at a house in Dearborn appears to have nothing to do with metro Detroit or the young adult male who lives in house that was raided.

That person was not in the home at the time of the raid and no charges are imminent, the source said, noting it is not clear whether that person has been detained by authorities.

 According to multiple sources, the FBI in Detroit is working with the FBI in another state about a national security issue.

 For ex-FBI chief Andy Arena, who was the former head of terrorism operations in Detroit, national security means one of two things: "It tells me it's either a terrorism case, or B, an espionage spying case," Arena said, noting if it were an explosives case, the raid would have involved bomb-sniffing dogs and nearby neighbors would have been evacuated.

 Neither of those things happened, which, for Arena, suggests they went looking for the following: "They likely went in there looking for people or records or computers, cell phones, iPhones, those types of things," Arena said.

"What they're doing now is they are looking at what they took from there — the people, the evidence — and they're trying to decipher it. 'Where does it fit?' "

 Arena said he understands why the FBI is being tight-lipped about the operation. "Obviously, the public wants to know what's going on, but the last thing law enforcement wants to do is mess up an ongoing investigation," Arena said.

Mary Laundroche, director of public information for the City of Dearborn, issued this statement: "The city is directing inquiries to the FBI, as it is their investigation. We have been told that there is no danger to our community."

 The operation wrapped up just before midnight Thursday at the home on the 7200 block of Jonathon Street. Detroit's FBI spokesperson Tim Wiley declined to comment on specifics of the operation, stating only: "FBI personnel (were) on scene conducting a law enforcement operation.

There is no threat to public safety." On Friday, the home appeared no different from neighboring residences.

There was a football in the driveway and flower pots near the front door, but nobody answered. A neighbor who declined to give her name said she saw law enforcement officers Thursday evening surrounding the house and removing boxes.

But she didn't see anyone taken into custody.

The woman first saw the officers there at about 5:30 p.m., and they didn't leave until about midnight.

She said she used to live in an upper unit at the residence, and that the people who live there are a man with two children. Recently, the man's father had come to visit.

The woman declined to give more details on the neighbors but said it's a safe, quiet neighborhood. More details about the raid were expected to be released sometime today, though the FBI has indicated new information may not be forthcoming until this weekend.

Richard Baird Was Summoned By Jordan Chariton For A Leaky Flint Water Transcript Legal Psyoptic

A very interesting leak, I see!

Now, whoever would do such a thing?

I know Jordan Chariton was just talking about this very same thing not so long ago.

Jordan was talking alot about Richard Baird.

Jordan was also talking about how VICE would not pick up his work.

Jordan never shared his information with the Michigan State Police or the FBI, or with anyone else, for that matter, because, I guess, he wants the scoop, where I believe Richard Baird may become the sacrificial lamb to cover up all the stealin' the children, land & vote up there in Genessee County Land Bank territory, but, hey, what do I know.

I know this is about to get juicy, because Kym Worthy, as word delivered to me, is not in a happy place right about now.

I wonder how Fadwa Hammoud is doing?

Todd Flood was working with Andy Arena.

Where is Andy?

Who else had their hands on these transcripts?

Who was the transcription service?

Just asking.

Perhaps, someone should ask Jordan.

Someone should ask Kym and Fadwa how come they are not focusing on all that stuff about all the contracts and land bank stuff.....oh, drats, I forgot, if they did that, they would implicate themselves in what was going on in Wayne County and all those properties that just so happened to end up in the Detroit Land Bank Authority.

My bad.

Release of 'confidential' transcripts concerns Flint water investigators

Lansing — Prosecutors involved in Flint's water investigation believe someone illegally provided confidential interview transcripts featuring aides to former Gov. Rick Snyder to a media outlet.

VICE News cited transcripts of interviews with multiple former officials, including Richard Baird, in a wide-ranging April 16 expose on the Snyder administration handling of lead-tainted water in Flint. Then, on Thursday, the Detroit Metro Times published another story by the reporters of the VICE piece with the full transcripts of the Baird interviews.

A new prosecution team appointed by Attorney General Dana Nessel continues to investigate the water crisis. Courtney Covington, a spokeswoman for the Attorney General's Office, said the prosecution team has "grave concerns about the unauthorized disclosure of investigative subpoena transcripts."

"Investigative subpoenas are, by statute, confidential, and their release without a court order is a violation of the law," Covington said. "Such conduct obstructs the investigation that the people of Flint are entitled to and threatens to jeopardize our pursuit of justice."

However, she wouldn't comment on whether prosecutors were investigating the leak.

The transcripts detail interviews between Todd Flood, who previously led the Flint water prosecution team under former Attorney General Bill Schuette, and Baird from February and March 2017.


Baird was previously Snyder's transformation manager. Snyder and Schuette left office at the end of 2018.

The interview transcripts featuring Baird are marked "highly confidential." And in one of the documents, Flood specifically tells Baird, "This is confidential. It's that simple. So I keep it confidential."

The transcript  "doesn't go anywhere" and is "sealed into an evidence room upstairs," Flood adds at another point.

Citing VICE's reporting, Metro Times alleged "prosecutors were investigating alleged attempts by Baird to pay off sick, publicly outspoken Flint residents with offers that included state-funded medical treatment, expanded Medicaid and home infrastructure replacements for pipes and water heaters damaged by Flint River water."

Randall L. Levine, Baird's attorney, said in a statement to The Detroit News on Monday that claims in the articles about Baird "are false based upon presumption and wrongly place him in a false light."

Baird had been informed that he was not a target of the government’s investigation, Levine said. And Baird voluntarily appeared for the interviews and did not claim privilege as he had nothing to hide, the attorney said.

As for the release of the transcripts, Levine said it "appears the only way such documents could have been leaked would be by the government, which is extremely troubling."

"By law, confidential information obtained by the prosecution including testimony and documents secured pursuant to investigative subpoena cannot be available for inspection or divulged and are exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act," Levine added.

One year ago this month, Nessel's office removed Flood from leading Flint water prosecution.

On Monday, Flood said he had no idea how the transcripts of his interview with Baird became public. But he acknowledged their release was "absolutely" an illegal act.

"I share the concerns of unauthorized disclosures of confidential material," Flood said in a statement. "I am not in a position to know why someone would do such a reckless act to disclose protected material."

Last year, Nessel removed Flood from the prosecution team. Nessel ordered criminal charges dismissed from the past investigation.

Michigan Solicitor General Fadwa Hammoud and Wayne County Prosecutor Kym  Worthy are now leading the prosecution team. On April 17, they promised criminal charges are still coming and that the criminal statute of limitations and the coronavirus pandemic will not stop them.

VICE says its new reporting into the Flint water crisis spanned "a year and a half across the state of Michigan."

Michigan Attorney General & Wayne County Prosecutor Team Up To Do What They Do - Cover Up Cover Ups - Flint Water Crisis Prosecution

This is quite the awkward prosecutorial situation considering the fact that the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office is under federal investigation with the Michigan Attorney General's Office in relation to the Flint Water Crisis and other stuff.

Oups j'ai dit une betise!

“Attorney General Nessel’s appointment of Fadwa Hammoud to serve as Michigan’s next Solicitor General is a brilliant choice. She is a visionary with an excellent work ethic. This is bittersweet for the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office and me personally. Fadwa has served all Wayne County residents with integrity, distinction, and honor. We are sad to see her leave Wayne County service, but the citizens of the entire State will be the beneficiary of her fairness and impressive reputation.” Wayne County Prosecutor Kym L. Worthy

I wonder what the gals have planned for Andy Arena?

From a fan...

Flint continued cover up and continued expolitation has officially expanded hard core into Flint and the cover up will likely continue. Unless I can get my hands on the Master Plumber who oversaw the Flint water valve turn on to help answer some questions. I bet they have info they don't realize they have and may help get to the root of the real problem. There is some pipe that is supposed to drain from under Flint City that no one seems to know where it is...as in they kinda lost where it was, or ao they kinda say but don't say.....and many others have been dead headed (sealed off) and whatever is under there is likely nasty and PFAS contaminated. Kildee is asking now for PFAS to be added for Superfund cleanup sites. How convenient. Need to find that outlet to get water tested. Oh, and people allegely from Easter Seals allegedly have a contract with MDHHS in Flint because of water and are handing out what they say are psych meds without any official diagnoses.

Former Wayne County prosecutor to take lead on Flint water prosecutions

Fadwa Hammoud

The state’s new solicitor general will take lead on the state’s criminal cases related to the Flint water crisis, including the prosecution of involuntary manslaughter charges against two former high-ranking Snyder officials.

Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Tuesday Fadwa Hammoud’s appointment as solicitor general, making her the first Muslim Arab American to achieve that post in the country. Hammoud is a former lead attorney at the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office.

Flint Special Prosecutor Todd Flood, who was appointed by Republican former Attorney General Bill Schuette, will report to Hammoud. He successfully convinced 67th District Court judges to bind over for trial former Health and Human Services Director Nick Lyon and former Chief Medical Executive Eden Wells on criminal charges related to 2014-15 Legionnaire's disease outbreak that killed 12 individuals and sickened at least 79 others.

 Schuette's personal supervision of Flood prevented him from engaging in the civil cases related to Flint, Nessel said. Both the civil and criminal cases have continued for years and cost taxpayers millions, she said.

“We don’t prescribe to the idea of prosecution for profit in this office,” Nessel said in a a statement. “I have worked closely with Ms. Hammoud as a prosecutor and trust her to make the right decisions and take the proper steps to ensure justice for the people of Flint. This department has spent millions of dollars on these cases, and our state residents deserve assurance that these cases are handled properly.”

On Tuesday, Flood praised Hammoud.

“Fadwa is a great person and an excellent lawyer who will serve the people of state and Flint very well,” Flood said. “I look forward to working with her.”

Schuette’s position overseeing Flood has remained empty since the turn of the year because Nessel was uncomfortable with the conflicts associated with the role, said Nessel's spokeswoman Kelly Rossman McKinney. Hammoud’s appointment allows Nessel to remain “above the conflict wall” by avoiding a direct role in either the criminal or civil cases.

“For now, (Flood) will report to the solicitor general,” Rossman McKinney said. “She’ll be in court with him tomorrow to watch, listen and learn.”

Special prosecutors will be in 67th District Court for the resumption of the preliminary exam of Patrick Cook, a Department of Environmental Quality water treatment engineer who is accused of misconduct in office, conspiracy to engage in misconduct in office and willful neglect of duty for allegedly manipulating a Lead and Copper Rule report on the levels of lead in Flint’s water.

There have been talks about a possible plea deal for Cook.

In early January, Nessel asked Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy to review the Flint criminal cases, and Worthy was expected to make recommendations regarding the future of the prosecution, including Flood's future as special prosecutor.

Hammoud’s appointment to the case does not interrupt the review of the prosecutions being conducted by Worthy, Rossman McKinney said. The review is ongoing and could influence the future of the cases and who leads them, she said.

Since Worthy and Hammoud worked together in the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office, “there’s a trusting relationship already established,” Rossman McKinney said.

Worthy declined additional comment on the review, but praised Nessel’s appointment of Hammoud to the cases, calling it a “bittersweet” moment for the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office.

“Attorney General Nessel’s appointment of Fadwa Hammoud to serve as Michigan’s next solicitor general is a brilliant choice,” Worthy said in a statement. “She is a visionary with an excellent work ethic.”

Jordan Chariton Should Tell HIs Flint Water Crisis Tale To The FBI

This is Jordan Chariton.

Jordan lies.

I think Richard Baird paid him and his friends to lie.

How do I know Jordan lies?

Well, he did not mention Andy Arena.

He did not mention U.S. House Judiciary and its Oversight Committee referrals to DOJ for investigation.

Jordan did not mention Dana Nessel.

Jordan did not mention SIGTARP.

Jordan did not mention the secret medical program, which is called Medicaid.

Jordan did not mention the Madame Maura Corrigan, (said in a high British accent).

Jordan poorly attempted to speak upon privatization, which means he is part of that crew of Trollie Trolls who like to forage through my archives, because he lacks any form of understanding or sophistication of the concept, beyond seeing it on my blog.

Jordan did not #sayhisname.

Jordan did not say my name.

Jordan did not say Mona Hanna-Attisha's name.

Jordan did not talk about the children of Flint, or the fact that the children are being used as lab rats.

Jordan did not mention General Motors.

Jordan does not speak of the KWA pipeline or the superseding international and federal Detroit investigations of the Carlyle Group.

Jordan did not mention the Genesee County Land Bank.

Jordan did not mention gerrymandering.

Jordan did not mention Epstein.

Jordan did not mention the Flint Children's Trust Funds, Sparrow Hospital, or MSU.

I think this is why no one wants to pick up his work, but, hey, what do I know?

I know Jordan should contact the FBI, since he claims, without any oath, filed in the Great Repository of any Secretary of State or with the right to bear the arms of Great Seal of he U.S. to know what is going on in Flint.

Perhaps, someone already has, but he just does not know that we are all listening, and watching him, lie.

Cummings & Gowdy Got A Flat Out "No" From Snyder On His Fraudulent Flint Testimony

It is little moments, such as this letter from U.S. House Committee On Governmental Oversight, that makes me wake up every morning with a renewed lust for retribution for what these people have done to our children and the public record.

In the spirit of fushcia...

Well, this is quite an interesting choice of sound byte chosen by the Detroit Free Press, considering the fact that it has an interesting history suppressing, or rather biasesly watering down issues of public corruption.

House Oversight Committee invites Snyder to amend his testimony on Flint

The top Republican and Democrat on a congressional committee sent Gov. Rick Snyder a letter Thursday, below, inviting him to correct or supplement his sworn testimony in 2016 related to the Flint drinking water crisis and reminding him about federal perjury law.

For a U.S. House Committee to present opportunity to amend testimony in light of new evidence is not out of character in the spirit of due process, but to not act upon this gracious opportunity to amend, or even supplement, in light of new manslaughter charges as a result of lower court testimony in which is in the public record, well, we have an issue going on.

But in a reply letter, Snyder told the lawmakers he testified truthfully and stands by what he said.

I put in a formal request for Snyder's letter and will update upon receipt. 

U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, the Republican chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, who is the ranking Democrat on the committee, wrote to Snyder in light of sworn testimony earlier this month by a Snyder aide. That testimony contradicted what Snyder told the committee about when he learned of a spike in Legionnaires' disease cases in the Flint area.

Snyder's testimony contridicted what I have been documenting and saying for years. 

Rick Snyder And Maura Corrigan Knew and Had A Plan For Flint

Snyder, who testified under oath in Washington, D.C., when the lead contamination of Flint's drinking water was in the national spotlight, told the committee he learned about the Legionnaires' disease outbreaks one day before he made the health issue public at a Jan. 13, 2016, news conference.

But Harvey Hollins III, who was Snyder's point person on the Flint water crisis, testified in a criminal case in Flint on Oct. 6 that he told Snyder about the Legionnaires' disease outbreaks weeks earlier, in December.

You can watch Snyder's testimony here ===> Congressional Hearing Of The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform On Flint Water Crisis, February 3, 2016

In the letter, Gowdy and Cummings cited details of the conflicting testimony.

"In order to resolve this discrepancy in recollection, please supply the committee with any additional relevant information you have concerning the date upon which you first learned of the Legionnaires' disease," the letter said.

"If necessary, you may also choose to amend or supplement your testimony."

The  lawmakers asked Snyder to respond by Oct. 25 and told him that under federal law, it is perjury to "knowingly and willfully" make a false statement under oath.

Snyder wrote a reply letter to the committee Thursday, saying: "My testimony was truthful, and I stand by it."

"I have specifically reviewed the question and my answer referenced in your letter," Snyder said.

"While you have offered for me to clarify my sworn testimony, I do not believe there is any reason to do so."

This is the part where I throw in my 2 cents.  See, the Michigan Attorney General, Bill Schuette, is running for governor.  Bill Schuette is a suave and savvy politician who has hired the independent prosecution team of Todd Flood and Andy Arena, the former being Wayne County murder and the other being federal public corruption out of Detroit, both of whom are loved by the masses.

So far, Snyder has been dodging them.

Now, the question that should be looming over the heads of the curious is, "Who the hell advised Snyder to not amend or supplement his testimony?"

Snyder said he and his office "will continue to fully cooperate" with the committee.

Perjury prosecutions for lying to Congress are rare.

U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, a Democrat from Flint Township, welcomed Thursday's letter from the lawmakers.

“Flint families deserve to know the truth about when the governor first learned of the Legionnaires’ outbreak," Kildee said in a news release. "Justice for Flint families comes in many forms, including holding those in state government who created the crisis accountable.”

I have nothing to support my statement right here so consider this another 2 cents.  It is my belief that Michigan Attorney General Schuette has, oh, how can we say, capitulated to federal authorities on the many other matters associated with the "leadership" of Snyder, like, um....I dunno...like the Detroit Land Bank Authority federal investigation and grand jury because it is all interconnected.

Just ask Dan Kildee, creator of the land bank concept.

Schuette is far from stupid like Mike Cox.  Yes, I called out Mikey, again. 

I believe Schuette is sick of what is going on in Michigan.  That is all I am going to say on the topic right now, as a few of us patiently await to see what he is going to do with the jacklegged charity filings of the Clinton Foundation in Michigan.

Flint's drinking water became contaminated with lead following a switch of the city's drinking water supply to the Flint River in April 2014, while the city was under the control of a state-appointed emergency manager.

Despite almost immediate complaints about the color, odor and taste of the water, the state did not acknowledge a lead contamination problem until about Oct. 1, 2015, long after tests showed elevated lead levels in tap water samples and a spike in toxic lead levels in the blood of Flint children.

The State of Michigan never responds to constituents' concerns, particularly if they deal with "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth).

At least a dozen deaths have been linked to the Legionnaires' disease outbreaks in Genesee County that followed the water switch, though a definitive causal relationship between the water switch and the disease outbreak has not been established.

Please, keep in mind, it is all about the dollars...and privatization.
