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 filed a July 31, 2019 Brief to Opposition to Defendants Motion to Quash after he was denied a court date by the Henrico County circuit court judges secretary for not following court procedure. CLICK TO READ CA BRIEF TO OPPOSITION

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.

Henrico County Commonwealth Attorney Shannon Taylor under investigation

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.

More corruption hits Henrico County Shannon Taylor's office

Henrico County CA Shannon Taylor corruption stacking up prior to 2019 elections




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.

Thank you!

TFO - FBI Richmond Cyber Task Force 
Henrico County Police Division 
---END PRESERVATION REQUEST---"

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.

VA. STATE BAR SCAM CONTINUES WITH CLIENT PROTECTION FUND.

THE BIGGEST SCAM IN VIRGINIA INVOLVING THE VIRGINIA STATE BAR ORGANIZATION


The VSB Client Protection Fund has a surplus close to $11,000,000 with a net yearly income of $500,000. This "fund" is supposed to reimburse victims who suffer a financial loss because of dishonest conduct by a Virginia lawyer. 


The last quarterly pay out was June 12, 2018, which awarded $19,440. to former clients of corrupt attorneys.


The yearly awards given has never reached $100,000 but the remaining Client Protection Fund fees collected goes into the enormous slush fund, which grows by over $400,000. per year. Where is this $11,000,000. being used? No one knows!


The Virginia Supreme Court classifies the VSB as a "State Agency" and an "Organization", which one is it? The VSB does not pay taxes but acts like a private corporation.


What other "State Agency" spends over $300,000 in catering annually?


What other "State Agency" spends over $350,000 in travel expense annually?


The last time the Virginia State Bar was Audited was 2006 and that was a basic audit not the detailed expenses.
http://jlarc.virginia.gov/pdfs/reports/Rpt182.pdf


We already know that the VSB does not protect the public, not 1 lawyer from a large law firm has ever been disciplined!


The Supreme Court is right in its classification, the VSB is an "Organization", a Criminal one!

Thousands of Virginia Court orders could be null and void.

Thousands of Virginia Circuit Court Orders could be defective and illegal



A Circuit Court Deputy Clerk, who wished to remain anonymous, has disclosed that hundreds to thousands of court orders have not been recorded, have gone missing or the judge who signed them has not officially taken their oath as per the Virginia Code. The Circuit Court Clerk is not issuing a public statement in attempt to cover up the clerical errors which could overturn thousands of cases.


All defendants in Virginia who have had orders issued against them are urged to go to the Circuit Court Clerks Office to verify if court orders issued against them are recorded in the Circuit Clerks Order book. If the orders have not been recorded, the orders are illegal and can not be enforced.


They are also urged to verify if the Judge that signed their order had taken their oath before the Clerk of the Court of record and recorded. Numerous judges who had either been transferred to another jurisdiction or their term had been appointed, have failed to take their oath before the clerk, thus any order they have signed is null and void.



If the Circuit Court Clerk can not provide a record of either a court order being recorded or a judge that has issued an order, who has not taken their oath, then the affected party should contact their attorney or seek legal advise from legal services to have the order dismissed.


The Code of Virginia that address these issue are below with the links to view.

§ 17.1-123. How orders are recorded and signed.

A. All orders that make up each day's proceedings of every circuit court shall be recorded by the clerk in a book known as the order book. Orders that make up each day's proceedings that have been recorded in the order book shall be deemed the official record pursuant to § 8.01-389 when (i) the judge's signature is shown in the order, (ii) the judge's signature is shown in the order book, or (iii) an order is recorded in the order book on the last day of each term showing the signature of each judge presiding during the term.


B. If a judge dies, retires or resigns before orders recorded in the order book have been authenticated, the orders shall have the same force and effect and shall be deemed authenticated when the signature of another judge of the same circuit court or the signature of the judge appointed to fill the vacancy or to preside over the court until the vacancy is filled is authenticated as provided in subsection A.    Click to Code of Virginia Orders Recorded



§ 16.1-69.17. Oath of office of judges, clerks and others. . .

Every judge, substitute judge, clerk, deputy clerk, and juvenile and domestic relations probation officer of a juvenile and domestic relations district court shall, before entering upon the duties of his office, take the oath required by law. The oath of the judge and substitute judge shall be taken before a clerk of a court of record to which appeals from his court lie or any judge, and the oath of the clerk and other officers of the court shall be taken before the judge of the court he serves. Any oath taken before a judge or clerk prior to July 1, 1992, and otherwise conforming with this section is valid.

Tyranny from the Va. Supreme Court down to the Virginia State Bar

When your attorney is persecuted and crucified for their integrity and fighting for your rights allowed by the Constitution and Rule of Law, then who will protect you?

Tyranny extinguishes the rights of attorneys and citizens in the Virginia justice system.


The VSB is an agency under the Va. Supreme Court, what happens when corruption takes over the VSB. Who does the Va. Supreme Court protect?


To understand tyranny in our justice system, we must look at the system and its protection racket. As we have exposed the corruption inside the VSB, we see how the system works. If a attorney exposes corruption in the Va. judicial system, they will be persecuted and their law license revoked for any reason the VSB conjures up, thus giving a clear message to attorneys.  "Expose us and we will rob you of your hard work, your reputation, your income and attack your integrity!" 



In the case of Rhetta Daniels, who was terminated as a VSB investigator because she did not turn a blind eye to the protection racket within the VSB. Rhetta had no rights in her termination and basically was "thrown in the streets" with no explanation, other than she did not close the investigation of a corrupt attorney.



Attorney Rhetta Daniels went into private practice and has had no client or attorney complaints for over 40 years until Attorney Daniels began exposing the corruption within the judicial system, as in the case of Attorney E. Grier Ferguson, a corrupt attorney who attacks the elderly and drains their financial resources until nothing is left. Click to read E. Grier Ferguson criminal syndicate

Attorney Rhetta Daniels exposed the corruption within the Charles City Court system, as in the case of Robin Ruffin attempting to protect her daughters rights. By exposing the corruption, the courts attacked both attorney and the client, imposing sanctions and fines against both. 

Attorney Daniels also represented "International fugitive" Nickolas Spanos, in which his case involves deep corruption within the Henrico County Commonwealths Attorneys office, which for exchange of bribery, the HCCA office has refused to extradite an alleged "key player who was part of an organization that distributed more than 600 kilos of Cocaine in the Richmond area". Click to view international fugitive articles

Since they could not silence Attorney Rhetta Daniels in exposing the corruption in the judicial system, the VSB decided to persecute her by filing a "medical impairment" case, thus attacking her in a closed hearing. Attorney Daniels and her attorneys submitted medical reports, witnesses and other overwhelming evidence enforcing the fact that she had no "medical impairment". The VSB is a protected criminal syndicate and no matter their oppressive decision, they know who stands behind them.

Attorney Rhetta Daniels and her team of attorneys filed these legal actions to defend against the VSB persecution:



4/9/18 - Disciplinary Board ignores physicians' testimony & issues Summary Order Stating that I Must Sign Medical Releases & Submit to an Independent Medical Exam by psychiatrist approved by VSB


1.  Motion for Reconsideration Filed by Attorney

2.  Hearing on Motion for Reconsideration - Denied by Board

3.  Notice of Appeal to Virginia Supreme Court filed with Clerk of the VSB Disciplinary System

4.  Motion to Stay the Board's Orders filed in the Virginia Supreme Court & Denied by Virginia Supreme Court without a Hearing and without any argument of counsel because Memorandum Order entered after April 9, 2018,was not a final order

5. 5/18/18 - Board Hearing - Board Ruled  Rhetta Daniels had to sign Releases even though the Board had an Affidavit from her psychiatrist that he had reviewed all the VSB documents, evidence, the Transcript of the 4/9/18-Board Hearing.  Board gave no weight to his opinion again that she is fit to practice law - Board issued Memorandum Opinion

6. 5/18/18 - Board issued a Summary Order of Suspension of Rhetta Daniels license because she refused to sign the Medical Releases and Virginia Supreme Court Rule required her to send out Notices by June 1, 2018 [No appeal allowed by VA Supreme Court Special Rules for the Board Matters]

7.  Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Writ of Prohibition filed with the Virginia Supreme Court because she was forbidden to file an appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court by its own special Rule for its Board

8.  Petition denied late Friday afternoon, June 1, 2018, so Notices of my Summary Suspension were sent to the judges and opposing attorneys as required by the special Rule of Virginia Supreme Court for all suspensions or disbarments 

[No appeal allowed yet by the special Rule of Virginia Supreme Court because the Board has not entered its Memorandum Order & can only appeal from the Board's Memorandum Order [not from a Summary Order]

9.  6/4/18 - Sent Notice Affidavit under oath to the Clerk of the Disciplinary System stating that she had no clients on June 1, 2018, to whom she had to send Notices of the Non-appealable Summary Suspension and that she had sent the Notices to the judges and opposing counsel on June 1, 2018.

10. Tomorrow or Wednesday a New Motion to correct the record of the 5/18/18_-Hearing, to correct the Summary Suspension Order language and to have the Memorandum Order by the Board issued promptly and filed with Clerk of Disciplinary System and to ask the Board to reverse its decision and allow her to the practice law until after the Board holds a Hearing on the Constitutional challenges and arguments are presented and the Board enters a Final Memorandum Order that can be appealed.


If you do not get involved in stopping tyranny in the Virginia Justice system, who will, your children?
