Meet William Isaac "Fat Ass" Robinson

Sherry *The Sleuth* Gay Dagnogo & her handler,
William Isaac *Fat Ass* Robinson

Alas!

Meet Fa' Tass, the fancy way of pronouncing his real name: Fat Ass.

You might know him as William Isaac Robinson, State Representative, but I traditionally call him Fat Ass.

By naming him Fat Ass, with him being an illegitimately elected public official and all, I might get attacked in the court of public opinion for my Post Traumatic Fraud Disorder.

I shall be dismissed, as always, as the crazy lady.

So, when that happens, I will just have to bear witness, and testify to the heavens when they fall in Detroit, to speak the truth, that he is a Fat Ass.

I do not lie, but Fat Ass does because this is what I see here is:

1. Hamtramck;
2. Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare, 
3. Absentee Ballot Fraud, 
4. Qatar,
5. United Arab Emeritus,
6. Election Fraud, 
7. Campaign Fraud,
8. Treason;
9. Ukraine; and,
10.  His #MeToo Boo Boo, Elisa Grubbs, who will have an attorney when the trial starts in January.

Fat Ass, who normally presents himself as a "Legal Genius" (trademark pending), was really mean to my Sweetie.

He also did really mean things in the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, too.

Counselors rally in Detroit for right to diagnose patients

DETROIT (FOX 2) - Mental health professionals are asking for the state department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs to reconsider a plan that would revoke their privileges to diagnose and conditions for their patients.

Hundreds of counselors gathered at the state capital on Friday. There were so many people there, some couldn't even get inside to get their voices heard at a hearing before state lawmakers. They said the proposed changes could cost them their jobs, patients, and much more.

Rally for licensed counselors in wake of new law
Mental health professionals are asking for the state department of Licensing And Regulatory Affairs to reconsider a plan that would revoke their ability to diagnose and conditions for their patients.

"I can only imagine how my clients will feel or what they might do," said one counselor.

"Many would struggle if they had to start with someone new," another counselor said. "The concept is terrifying."

It's all related to changes LARA is set to make that would limit what licensed professional counselors can do for their patients. The new licensing would not allow them to diagnose conditions or get reimbursed by insurance companies.

It's estimated 10,000 counselors and anywhere from 150,000 to 200,000 clients could be impacted.

"Today we have a crisis - we already have a shortage - we have waitlists - there are people who feel like they can't find a provider, they have these long waits before they can get help - imagine if all of these people are not in their offices,” said another counselor.

The fear is being felt across the state and at Wayne State University Friday where many professors and their students studying to become Licensed Professional Counselors are rallying to save their degrees and their jobs. They are hopeful a House bill would stop LARA's planned actions.

"House bill 4325 will etch in stone the vital work that (Licensed Professional Counselors) do in Michigan - right now LARA has some foolish proposals that would decimate a profession," said state representative Isaac Robinson (D-Hamtramck).

Robinson is one of many lawmakers supporting the counselors who work in schools, hospitals, and just about anywhere mental health services are needed.

"This attack on this profession will affect non-profits, it will affect our local economy, it will affect universities," Robinson said.

For two weeks, FOX 2 has asked LARA why they're making this change. They have not yet answered and we're waiting for a comment from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

"We're going to make sure Governor Whitmer understands this issue - because we're going to pass this bill through the House - we have bi-partisan support," Robinson said.

House Bill 4325 would preserve the services LPCs can offer, but it's not clear that will pass before LARA's new rules - take effect.

FUN FACT! CHILD WELFARE WORKERS MAKE AXIS III DIAGNOSES WITHOUT MEDICAL LICENSING

ANOTHER FUN FACT! CHILD WELFARE COUNSELING PROGRAMS ARE SOCIOECONOMIC EXPERIMENTS FOR HUMAN LAB RATS

Counselors fear new license rules will impact mental health care

GRAND TRAVERSE COUNTY, Mich. (WPBN/WGTU) --Friday mental health counselors from across the state will be in Lansing, fighting for their right to keep seeing patients.

Child Family Services in Traverse City have six licensed professional counselors that serve more than 150 clients, but with proposed changes through the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs that could change.

One of the most detrimental proposed changes, according to counselors removes the ability for LPC’S to diagnose patients, which insurance companies require for billing.

"Our clients would lose their therapists immediately once LARA confirms the changes and makes the final approvals, that would result in our therapists having to abandoned their clients which is obviously against our ethics and not appropriate,” said Allison \Wilson an LPC with Child & Family Services. “There's not enough other mental health professionals in this area to even absorb the number of clients and the same with statewide."

According to the President of the Michigan Mental Health Counselors Association, if the LARA rule changes are approved, Michigan could lose about 30% of its community mental health system

There is a possible solution. House Bill 4325 is making its way through the legislature and would allow counselors to continue making diagnoses.

If that bill passes, it would override the licensing rules for counselors.

A public hearing on the new licensing rules for counselors will be held Friday at the G. Mennen Williams building at 525 W. Ottawa St. in downtown Lansing starting at 9 a.m.

Marion Brown Went Shopping In D.C.

No comment at this time...your honor.

Post-#MeToo, Stalled Careers, Alienation Still Haunt Sexual Harassment Victims

Lawmakers say they are aware of challenges

Shortly after Marion Brown’s account of sexual harassment toppled a powerful congressman last fall, she returned to Washington on a frigid afternoon to ask for support from the lawmakers who had lauded her as a hero.

Wearing a smartly tilted fur cap, she left her business cards with aides who, to her, looked two generations her junior. She hoped for a reference, a lead on a new job, a bit of advice. She left the Capitol feeling disappointed, although lawmakers told Roll Call they want to do all they can to help.

Brown, 62, who spent 11 years as a Detroit-based outreach director to former Michigan Democratic Rep. John Conyers Jr., is among a handful of former congressional employees to publicly disclose sexual harassment allegations in the aftermath of the #MeToo movement. Their stories attracted a surge of media attention and inspired bipartisan legislation that unanimously passed the House and is making its way to the Senate.

But the hoped-for reckoning in Congress has sputtered, and several of the alleged victims say the publicity has done little to diminish the toll on their careers and personal lives.

“People try to be as nice as they can, but I’m still feeling the backlash,” Brown said.

In the months after sexual misconduct allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein inspired a national conversation about sexual harassment in American institutions, eight members of Congress — seven of them in the House — have either resigned or announced they will not seek re-election because of allegations of harassment or sexual misconduct. That number, though large by historical standards, pales compared to the dozens of accusations against powerful men in other industries.

Meanwhile, details of past allegations against members of Congress remain unclear. There are lingering questions about lawmakers’ ability, or willingness, to investigate their own colleagues. And calls for accountability have largely given way to attempts to improve working conditions for future employees.

Brown and other women who have come forward say all the attention has not improved their stalled careers or their sense of isolation — repercussions that they believe will continue to prevent other women from speaking up about mistreatment.

Lawmakers say they know it is tough for women in Brown’s position. The only thing that will make it easier is to change the culture surrounding gender dynamics in the workplace, and that conversation is just beginning.

The aftermath

Brown, petite and steely-eyed, first encountered those consequences when she lost her job in Conyers’ office in 2013 and filed a complaint alleging that he had touched her inappropriately and pressured her for sex for years. Her case was buttressed by four signed affidavits from colleagues who said they had witnessed Brown’s treatment, and that Conyers had harassed them too.

Not ready to retire, she tried to get another job in politics. She gave up shortly after another member of Congress told her he needed Conyers’ support too much to cross him, she said.

“That was his reputation,” she recalled. “Nobody is going to hire you. Nobody is going to touch you, unless you have a blessing from him.”

In 2014, she signed an agreement never to talk about her allegations in exchange for a $27,000 payment. It was fraction of her $72,000-a-year salary, and did little to compensate for the years of productivity remaining in her career. She took a job as a part-time airline gate attendant for $15 an hour and the promise of occasional free flights.

She thought she had moved on when she got a call last Thanksgiving weekend saying she was about to be thrust into a media firestorm.

Mike Cernovich, a blogger with a far-right following, had offered $10,000 to anyone who could document a sexual harassment claim against a member of Congress. The offer netted him Brown’s settlement agreement, though the source, he later said, declined the reward.

Brown said she still doesn’t know who gave Cernovich the documents. This point is important, she said, because people think she leaked her own story to take revenge on Conyers. Cernovich is best known for promoting a debunked conspiracy theory that the Hillary Clinton campaign ran a pedophile ring from a D.C. pizzeria.

She waited over a week to respond publicly. She made up her mind after watching Conyers deny her allegations and House minority leaderNancy Pelosi defend him on national television as “an icon.”

Watch: The #MeToo Impact on 2018

“I just wanted to control the story,” Brown said. She also hoped that she could rehabilitate her career and play a role in what she saw as an emerging social movement. And for a head-spinning week, she did. She met with lawmakers and House officials who wanted to know how they could change the system.

Conyers’ supporters held a rally at a Detroit church, saying he had been treated unfairly and deserved due process under the law. But the pressure on him mounted as several other alleged victims came forward, and he resigned.

Brown returned to the same pressures of her post-congressional life in Detroit — the unpaid bills, the rapidly diminishing savings, the uncertainty about her future.

This time, though, she faced the added stress of suddenly becoming a public figure in a local community that had expressed extreme ambivalence about Conyers’ rapid descent. Some offered support. Her indoor cycling instructor even led the class in a round of applause. But others shunned her. She was snubbed at restaurants, she said. Friends stopped speaking to her.

“People feel like supporting me publicly is like not supporting him,” she said. “In the community, it’s like, ‘Why did you do it?’ These are the most hurtful things, when you lose people who you thought were friends.”

Conyers’ lawyer Arnold Reed said the former congressman would not comment for this story. He said Conyers is enjoying his civilian life.

“It’s a proven fact that her claims are false,” Reed said, without elaborating. “John Conyers has become the poster child for people to bring false allegations, and then they feel bad, because they lie.”

A better future?

Lawmakers say they are acutely aware of the challenges facing alleged victims like Brown, who lost their careers and reputations for speaking out at a time when there was little incentive to do so. Some have thrown their energies into trying to ensure future victims are better protected.

Female house members played a key role in drafting the workplace protection changes that passed the House last week — the first such update for congressional employees since 1995. Some changes went into effect immediately, including a rule that would create an office devoted to counseling House staffers throughout the claims process and a commitment to pay for their legal representation. Others, like a provision that would require all members of Congress to pay for settlements involving their own alleged misdeeds, are awaiting a vote in the Senate.

Indiana Republican Susan W. Brooks, who chairs the House Ethics Committee, told Roll Call columnist Patricia Murphy last month that her work on the legislation was “some of the most important work I’ll ever do in the House.”

The sponsors spent hours meeting with victims. California Democrat Jackie Speier, one of two former staffers in the group, filmed a video in which she talked about being assaulted as a young staff member.

Other female sponsors said privately they were motivated, in part, by personal experiences they were not prepared to divulge. They also said they feared their male colleagues would respond by shutting young women out of jobs or the social interactions that can be crucial to career development on the Hill.

Critics, however, said it was unclear whether the legislation would make much of a difference, partly because it didn’t specify how the new resources would be paid for. It also took away authority from the Office of Congressional Ethics — the only independent body tasked with investigating ethics allegations against House members. Instead, cases would be automatically referred to Ethics committees in the House and Senate, which are composed of members and their staffs.

Those committees have frequently been criticized for being overly lenient on lawmakers.

“It’s clear that Ethics committees are not just asking what the person is charged with, but what does it mean to the institution, how will impact my party down the line,” said George Derek Musgrove, author of the book “Rumor, Repression, and Racial Politics: How the Harassment of Black Elected Officials Shaped Post-Civil Rights America.”

Most ethical investigations in the House or Senate drag on for years or are resolved in secret — 125 of the 190 cases the House Ethics Committee has opened since 2011 were resolved confidentially, according to a report released Wednesday by the watchdog group Issue One.

Even under the intense media scrutiny spurred by the #MeToo movement, the fallout for members who have been named as alleged harassers in recent months has been mixed, with lawmakers’ themselves deciding their fate and little that amounts to due process.

Keeping secrets

Many allegations still remain secret. The names of members or offices involved in the more than $300,000 in payouts for sexual harassment and other workplace discrimination claims since 2003 have not been released, and it is uncertain if they ever will be.

Rep. Barbara Comstock, who has been at the forefront of calls for institutional changes, said last week that she would continue to press for those details.

“We need to let the victims know that they can speak out from the past,” the Virginia Republican said on the House floor. “If they want to speak out, they can; that this body is not going to be using any of our resources to stop a victim from the past from speaking out.”

Those who have already spoken out, though, say they need more than an assurance that Congress won’t stand in their way. Brown, for one, is still wondering what happens next.

“I don’t want it to be five minutes of fame, to be associated with wanting to just have revenge and taking someone down,” she said. “I want to be a part of the movement for change, for women’s equality. And I would want them to help.”

Ed Sarpolus Sucks

Hey Superfans, Ed Sarpolus was really mean to my Sweetie.

Ed Sarpolus sucks.

This is not just a personal statement, this is also my testimony to his misprison of political campaigns & public elections.

The Tale Of Michigan Political Consultants

Sarpolus has been working behind the scenes to take Conyers out of office for quite some time, but, hey, what do I know?

It would behoove those with vested interests in election and campaign finance integrity to keep a close eye on the candidates, political consultants and NGOs linked up with the 13th Congressional District race of Michigan.

Study: Most Approve Of Job Done By Conyers Despite Sexual Harassment Allegations

DETROIT (WWJ) — Despite allegations of sexual harassment that led to his decision to resign from office, Michigan Democratic Congressman John Conyers is still viewed in a favorable light by a majority of 13th District voters, according to a new poll released tonight.

Out of a 400 person survey conducted by MIRS, 68 percent of the 13th District approve of the job Conyers did as a congressman, with 54 percent of white voters giving him an approval rating versus 80 percent of black voters.

“Sixty percent of the voters in that district said they approve of the job he’s done as the congressman, and that’s not only black voters but also white voters at the same time,” Target Insyght pollster Ed Sarpolus told WWJ Newsradio 950. “Both (races) gave him positive job ratings, and that was not to be expected.”

While Conyers received a mostly positive approval rating from those he served, a majority of the district felt it was best for him to step down amid the sexual harassment allegations. Fifty nine percent of the respondents believed he made the right decision to resign/retire, and 26 percent said he should have stayed in his role and fought the charges.

Breaking down those numbers even more, 56 percent of black voters said he made the right decision to resign while 31 percent said he should have kept his position.

Conyers, who was first elected in 1964, easily won re-election last year in the heavily Democratic district. But following the mounting allegations of sexual harassment he decided to resign from his position earlier this month.

Looking ahead to who could fill Conyers newly vacant seat in Congress, MIRS also asked the participants who they’d vote for in next fall’s election. The current leader is Sheriff Benny Napoleon of Wayne County with 26 percent of the votes, followed by undecided voters at 17 percent, Westland Mayor Bill Wild at 16 percent and State Senator Coleman Young II at 12 percent.

Detroit DOJ Makes $26 Million Bust And Did Not Invite Me To Party

Hey DOJ, Stop Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare!!!!!
They launder it through political campaigns!!!!
Then launder it again through non-profits!!!!
Then they launder it again through real properties!!!!

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who had been consistently calling out Medicaid fraud in child welfare to fund political campaigns.

Consistently, vociferously, for years, yet she was ignored.

Then one day, the lovely Downtown Detroit boys and girls with big shiney badges had a party and forgot to invite me.

Saddy face.

So, what had happened was....

I decided to snitch on Johnny because he was a really naughty boy.

Little Johnny was laundering lots of his ill-gotten gains of Medicare (and Medicaid, too) false claims through political campaigns, like the Committee To Elect Judge Shelia Johnson Supreme Court.

Judge Shelia Johnson had no idea of what was going on and the amounts far exceeded what were reported to the Michigan Secretary of State Campaign Finance.

She was being used.

The meanies like to use people like her.

The Treasurer of her campaign was Jim Lancaster.

Jim Lancaster worked with Ed Sarpolus.

Jim Lancaster, Ed Sarpolus and William Isaac Robinson were really, really, really, super mean to my Sweetie.

So were a few more individuals in the Ivory Tower of Congress, the Michigan Democratic Party, the Democratic National Committee, and another jack-legged non-profit, of whom I shall not name at this time, continue being mean to my Sweetie, but you can watch the video, below, to get an idea of how the fraud scheme of Medicaid in political campaigns operates.

The moral of the story is...

Do not be mean to my Sweetie, period.

Besides, I know what they did with the money and the lovely boys and girls with pretty shiney badges, all over the world already know, too, because I have a really big mouth and I am going to make sure they never forget to invite me to another party, ever again.

Stay tuned.

Michigan Doctor and Owner of Medical Billing Company Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison for $26 Million Health Care Fraud Scheme

A Detroit-area doctor was sentenced to 180 months in prison today for his role in a $26 million health care fraud scheme that involved billing Medicare for nerve block injections that were never provided and efforts to circumvent Medicare’s investigation of the fraudulent scheme.  A co-conspirator who owned a medical billing company was previously sentenced to 10 years in prison. 

Acting Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Blanco of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, Acting U.S. Attorney Daniel L. Lemisch of the Eastern District of Michigan, Special Agent in Charge David P. Gelios of the FBI’s Detroit Division, Special Agent in Charge Lamont Pugh III of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General’s (HHS-OIG) Chicago Regional Office and Special Agent in Charge Manny Muriel of Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) made the announcement.

Johnny Trotter M.D., 42, of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge George C. Steeh of the Eastern District of Michigan.  The owner of the medical billing company, Elaine Lovett, 61, of Detroit, was sentenced by Judge Steeh on Sept. 26.  Judge Steeh also ordered each defendant to pay $9,199,946 in restitution and scheduled a hearing tomorrow on forfeiture.  Trotter and Lovett were convicted in April 2017 after a four-week jury trial of one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud, and three counts of health care fraud.  Trotter was remanded to custody pending a detention hearing tomorrow.      

According to the evidence presented at trial, from May 2008 until May 2014, Trotter and Lovett knowingly submitted fraudulent bills for services that they knew had not been provided, mainly nerve block injections.  Additionally, after Medicare imposed a requirement in 2009 that required Trotter’s claims to undergo a medical review prior to payment, Trotter and Lovett conspired to circumvent Medicare’s fraud investigation of Trotter by creating sham medical practices, the evidence showed.  To continue to receive payment for services that were not provided, Trotter and Lovett concealed their involvement with these practices from Medicare, and instead recruited their family members and employees to serve as straw owners of the companies, the evidence further showed.  

The FBI, HHS-OIG and IRS-CI investigated the case, which was brought as part of the Medicare Fraud Strike Force under the supervision of the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan.  Fraud Section Assistant Chiefs Malisa Dubal and Allan Medina, as well as Trial Attorneys Tom Tynan and Jacob Foster, prosecuted the case. 

The Fraud Section leads the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, which is part of a joint initiative between the Department of Justice and HHS to focus their efforts to prevent and deter fraud and enforce current anti-fraud laws around the country.  The Medicare Fraud Strike Force operates in nine locations nationwide.  Since its inception in March 2007, the Medicare Fraud Strike Force has charged over 3,500 defendants who collectively have falsely billed the Medicare program for over $12.5 billion.
