Google rejects Commonwealth Attorney Shannon Taylor requests for emails

Google blocks Henrico County CA Shannon Taylor's motion for international fugitives email account

A May 31, 2019 motion and order signed by Henrico County Circuit Court Judge Gary Hicks that was served on Google llc, ordering to produce the email records of international fugitive Nickolas Spanos has been denied by Google.

A June 25, 2019 notice to Nickolas Spanos from Google, notified him of the May 31, 2019 order sent to Google which requested his personal email account records. Google gave Spanos 7 days to respond with a court stamped motion to quash. The reason by the Henrico CA and the HPD was "obstruction of justice", a misdemeanor offence. CLICK TO READ ORDER

A July 01, 2019 Motion to Quash, the Henrico County CA request through Judge Gary Hicks was submitted by Spanos, acting as Pro Se, to Judge Lee A. Harris, as Spanos has a pending case in the Henrico Circuit court for thirteen indictments for allegedly conspiring to distribute cocaine in 1998-1999. CLICK TO READ MOTION TO QUASH

Spanos emphasised in his filing that allowing such illegal action would undermine the United States Constitutional rights of not only the Defendant but set a precedence for all cases in Henrico County Circuit Court.

A copy of the Motion to Quash was sent to Google, who in turn notified the Henrico CA that they have denied the access to the personal email account of Spanos. Spanos claimed violations of attorney-client privilege and freedom of the press, as Spanos is known for his exposure of corruption on numerous blog sites, websites and Face Book pages, even publishing books about corruption.

Henrico assistant CA Robert Windle claimed in his brief that Spanos was obstructing justice by intimidating the main witness in his thirteen indictments, submitting as evidence articles written by Spanos in his blogs, which exposed the main witness, Sierra Elaina Cooke as a con artist. CLICK TO READ BLOG

Spanos filed an Answer to Brief on August 09, 2019 in the Henrico County Circuit Court, again stating various constitutional rights violations such as attorney-client privilege and freedom of the press. CLICK TO READ DEFENDANTS ANSWER TO BRIEF

Spanos submitted emails of the main witness as evidence of her stalking him, attempting to extort money from him and his family, threatening him, racial slurs towards his family, and other evidence which substantiates her perjury in grand jury hearings.

Even more importantly, Spanos used the subject email account to communicate with the Richmond FBI about corruption and bribery by Henrico CA Shannon Taylor, giving specific details of bribes paid through campaign contributions by known individuals to Shannon Taylor, in exchange for Taylor's refusal to extradite Spanos from the Philippines and Greece.

The international fugitive's case, which has reached over 20 years in the Henrico Circuit court has been encased in heavy allegations of corruption, bribery and other prosecutor misconduct. The case leaves many unanswered questions on why three generations of Henrico County Commonwealth Attorneys have avoided to extradite the fugitive, even denying his request to be transported back to Virginia to face the charges against him.

A court date has not been set at this writing to hear the Motion to Quash and answers.

COURT FILING LINKS HENRICO COMMONWEALTH ATTORNEY SHANNON TAYLOR TO BRIBES GIVEN IN INTERNATIONAL FUGITIVES CASE

 An August 09, 2019 court filing in the Henrico County Circuit Court gives evidence of unexplained funds being transferred to Shannon Taylor's re-election campaign, as well as numerous other felonious actions involving a known con artist witness who has a history of suicide attempts.

In a desperate attempt to cover up the unexplained actions of the Henrico County Commonwealth Attorney Shannon Taylor, more evidence of illegal actions surface.

In a recent article, VCL exposed a con artist witness, who the HCCA was using as their main source in an international fugitives case. The con artist witness is identified as Sierra Elaina Cooke, whose grand jury testimony was a fabricated story in order to vindicate her failed relationship and extort money from her ex-boyfriend. 

The Henrico County Police and the Commonwealth Attorney's office were well aware that their main witness was lying under oath and had a serious mental condition which included suicide attempts which had her committed in a mental ward for suicide observation. 

None of this exculpatory evidence was ever presented to co-defendant's defense attorneys, in which three men were sentenced to prison, even one who spent 15 years in prison. If this obligatory evidence was presented to their defense, it would have changed the outcome of their guilt.

The August 09, 2019 court filing presented evidence, which included emails from Sierra E. Cooke over the past 10 years, that the Henrico County witness was stalking the international fugitive, pleading for him to meet her in foreign countries, emailing him her flight itinerary, stalking his relationships in order to sabotage them , racial slurs towards his children and attempting to extort him and his family for money.

Despite the HPD and HCCA knowledge of the deceitful witness, who had committed insurance fraud, narcotics distribution, perjury, filing false police reports and extortion, Shannon Taylor continues to cover up the unjust actions of her predecessors and has allegedly taken more than $12,000 in bribes in order to prevent the international fugitives extradition.

The alleged bribes were given through the international fugitives family friend, who is a local attorney specialising in real estate. It makes no sense that a real estate attorney would be contributing large amounts to Shannon Taylor's re-election campaign. See previous article HCCA Shannon Taylor refuses to bring international fugitive to trial

A whistle blower in the Henrico County Commonwealth Attorneys office had filed a complaint to the DOJ-FBI about the illegal actions committed by Shannon Taylor, who is currently under investigation by the FBI. The whistle blower sent evidence to VCL, in which we published previously, see article A whistleblower in the Henrico County Commonwealth Attorney's office has presented more evidence of alleged bribes

The whistle blower has stated that the HPD and the HCCA had continued to use their deceitful witness in other cases involving narcotics distributions in which they had no material evidence and that the witness continued to commit felonies, which the HPD and HCCA kept a blind eye to.

The whistle blower is cooperating with the Richmond FBI in other bribery cases involving the Henrico Commonwealth Attorney's office. If the allegations are substantiated, it could affect hundreds of cases in the Henrico County Circuit Court.

Another suspicious campaign contribution linked to Henrico County Commonwealth Attorney Shannon Taylor

A whistleblower in the Henrico County Commonwealth Attorney's office has presented more evidence of alleged bribes, amounting to $10,000, paid through campaign contributions.

In a recent complaint filed with the U.S. DOJ, the whistleblower stated that the alleged bribes, which were paid in 2015 & 2018, are linked to a drug case inherited by HCCA Shannon Taylor. The alleged bribes are connected to a international fugitive, in which Shannon Taylor intentionally avoided to extradite the fugitive despite being arrested and detained for extradition in the Philippines. 

FBI officials in the Philippines had demanded that the international fugitive be extradited to Virginia for thirteen grand jury indictments alleging the conspiracy to distribute cocaine. Despite the grand jury indictments being unsealed by court order and arrest warrants issued for the fugitive's extradition, Henrico County Commonwealth Attorney Shannon Taylor refused to file an extradition request with the U.S. DOJ to have the fugitive extradited to Virginia.

Taylor's refusal led to the fugitive's release and deportation back to his safe haven of Greece, in which he was protected by his foreign nationality status. Greek DOJ officials denied the extradition request by Henrico County which was submitted twenty-one (21) months after his initial arrest in the Philippines.

Deputy Commonwealth Attorney Michael Y. Feinmel, who the fugitives case was assigned to, and Shannon Taylor have yet to explain of their refusal to extradite the fugitive. The whistleblower stated that the fugitive had recently offered several times to be voluntarily extradited back to Virginia but Shannon Taylor has refused.

The whistleblower sent a copy of the complaint filed to VCL, stating that the alleged bribes are possibly linked to known legal associates and family members of the fugitive, it is unclear if the fugitive had knowledge of the alleged bribes.

In a phone call to VCL, the whistleblower stated that the HCCA has intentionally sabotaged their case against the fugitive and that other aspects of the case are being investigated, which is tied to a certain Henrico County Circuit court judge, who may have been involved. They added that U.S. DOJ officials are currently investigating the complaint and conducting interviews with HCCA personnel associated with the fugitive's case. 

The whistleblower added that "when these allegations of corruption towards our office are not addressed and our leader refuses to give an explanation to such a controversial issue, it affects our entire office. The moral in our office is at its lowest point ever and this affects our other cases, as we are distracted by the suspicious behaviour."

HCCA Shannon Taylor is a member of the Virginia State Bar's 2018-2019 Standing Committee on Legal Ethics. 

The controversy of this latest investigation by U.S. DOJ officials casts a dark cloud over Shannon Taylor's 3rd election bid, representing the democratic party, for the Henrico County Commonwealth Attorneys Office. This latest scandal could force the incumbent to withdraw her election bid.

In a request sent to Google llc. to obtain confidential information about the news media group Exposing Corruption in Virginia, the Henrico Police by request of HCCA Shannon Taylor has illegally represented itself as the FBI conducting the investigations. A copy of the email request to Google states:

" ---BEGIN PRESERVATION REQUEST---
Dear Word Press,

I am attempting to obtain information related to a Blog (exposingcorruptioninvirginia.home.blog) which is believed to be run by the suspect of a witness tampering/intimidation investigation wherein similar information is being posted on a separate blog.

Can you please confirm whether or not Word Press is the appropriate entity which would possess records such as subscriber/registration information for the blogger(s) and IP history from which articles are posted? If so, I would ask that any information related to the aforementioned blog be preserved until the appropriate legal process can be obtained.

Any help would be appreciated.

A Henrico Circuit Court Motion/Order dated March 05, 2019, requested to Google llc. give all information pertaining to the news media group Exposing Corruption in Virginia, in order to identify the confidential reporters and news sources. A Henrico Police Department Detective Stuart T. Voncanon was listed as the investigator in the subject court order. The Henrico County Circuit Court Judge who signed the order is Gary A. Hicks. CLICK TO VIEW THE COURT ORDER

In addition to falsely representing themselves as the FBI, the Henrico County Police department and Henrico County CA Shannon Taylor are violating the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which protects the Freedom of the Press.

Shannon Taylor is a member of the Virginia State Bar's 2018-2019 Standing Committee on Legal Ethics. 

The news media group Exposing Corruption in Virginia has responded to Google llc with a March 19, 2019 email stating:

"Hi Google

I thank you for this information and must formally object to this request for information.

The request is not been made by the FBI Richmond division and Henrico Police Department Detective S.T. VonCanon is not part of the FBI. The FBI only files its legal process through the Federal courts not local county courts. 
 Henrico Police Department Detective S.T. VonCanon is falsely representing himself as FBI.

The request by the HPD  is an inquiry for a motion/order, there is no legal case attached to this motion/order.

This request by Henrico Police Department Detective S.T. VonCanon is a violation of the U.S. Constitution First Amendment right to Freedom of the Press.

Our organization is a news media exposing corruption inside the Virginia Justice system, our blog series VASTATEBARCORRUPTION has exposed illegal corruption and violations of the Virginia criminal code, which criminal complaints have been filed against corrupt Virginia government officials which include Henrico County Court officials. Our blogs have attached the evidence of corruption, thus our news reporting is accurate and defended.

The request that GOOGLE LLC has received is a fishing expedition, in order to persecute the reporters and news informants, which is a violation of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Our news reporting operates under the blanket protection of the Freedom of the Press.

 “The press was to serve the governed, not the governors.” The freedom of the press, protected by the First Amendment, is critical to a democracy in which the government is accountable to the people. A free media functions as a watchdog that can investigate and report on government wrongdoing.

We are formally requesting that you deny the inquiry request of the Henrico County Court/police department."

It is unclear if news media group Exposing Corruption in Virginia will retain a lawyer to object to the Henrico Court order submitted to Google llc.
