Trial Briefs -- The facts & the legal arguments -- due in the Golden-Ghorra case to allow their take-over of the Brooklyn GOP


The "Golden Faction's" big problem now & in the future  >>>  James McClelland’s "on the record" court testimony indicating that he did a robo-call in advance of the 2015 GOP convention fraudulently stating that Golden & Ghorra’s folks had the “official proxies” ---  AND  ---  then admitting  >>>  there’s no such thing as “official proxies”


Trial briefs are due in just over a week in the Kings County Supreme Court election case presently pending before Hon. Edgar Walker, JSC.  That case essentially pits what the court called “the Golden faction” against the mainstream Brooklyn GOP, which the court called “the Eaton faction.”  It needs to be noted that “the Golden faction” is made up of NYS Senate staffers, Conservative Party activists and other Golden supporters and they are pushing for Ted Ghorra, a lawyer lined-up behind Marty Golden, to be County Chairman instead of the duly elected Chairman Arnaldo Ferraro.

Although those close to the parties still think that the outcome of the trial is quite problematic, due to Judge Walker’s prejudiced view of who should have won at the 2015 Republican organizational convention following the selection of the 2015 GOP County Committee during the 2015 organizational primary. 

One of the key errors that Walker seems to have already made in this case is referring to the Members of the KCRP County Committee as “voters” –  when their actual status is elected & certified party officials, delegates and representatives. 

WHAT HAS GOLDEN & GHORRA WORRIED

Even though the key operators in the Golden faction think that they have a “win” in the case in front of Judge Walker, they are VERY WORRIED about what Marty Golden’s staffer, and Queens County Republican nabob, James McClelland testified to in court during the case.  They know that regardless of what Justice Edgar Walker does with it, the record of that testimony will be put before the Justices of the Appellate Division.

In essence, State Senator Golden’s staffer McClelland testified that he had engaged in a fraudulent scheme to solicit super-ceding proxies to the 2015 convention from Members of the 2015-2016 GOP County Committee by referring to the proxies to be tendered by Marty Golden’s representatives as the “Official Proxies” of the Republican Party. McClelland’s testimony also showed that he did know that there are no such things as “Official Proxy” forms.

That testimony is very far reaching and threatening to Golden and his peeps on several levels of judicial scrutiny, both state and federal. 

PRIOR COVERAGE OF THIS KEY POINT

Those of you that follow this material closely  [AND I DO KNOW WHO YOU ARE],  know that I originally mentioned this specific testimony by Mr. McClelland in my comment “UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "SERIES OF 'PLEASE-DON'T-QUOTE-ME-DIRECTLY' INTERVIEWS" EDITION,” dated May13, 2016  at 11:47 AM,  and then in another comment,  “UPDATE: THE "I BEEN WAITIN' FOR THIS" EDITION, ” dated May13, 2016  at 11:47 AM  ---  both comments  are in the comments thread to my May 10th post  "In case you forgot... going & going &  going"....

So .. senate staffer makes hundreds, maybe thousands of fraudulent phone calls to mislead voters, and his boss, the senator, accepts and introduces hundreds of proxies obtained as a result of that fraud at a political convention to win an election.

Why is this not on the front page of every newspaper in town?

The real stench here is that NOBODY cares about any of this, especially the DEMOCRATS who could take Golden's seat if they wanted to.

The DEALS WITH DEMOCRATS to keep Golden afloat begin at the very top in Albany and include every key player all the way down to "County" and some very local ones in Bay Ridge.

By the time an appeal is decided wouldnt the issue be moot?

Seems as though the Judge already issued a ruling in favor of Golden on the robo call issue when he reinstated the proxies weeks ago. And as far as Ghorra's support goes he calls merting said of the Disyrict Leaders regularly and just about everyone attends from around the borough.

Ghorra is the GOP chair. Eaton and Ferraro are obsolete.

Ted Ghorra was elected by a loose bunch of hooligans on a street corner

Is that the same McClleland who ran against Lincoln?

BACKFILL: THE "DID YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT BOB CAPANO ?" EDITION

TEN YEARS AGO BOB CAPANO BROUGHT CURRENT LIBERTARIAN VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BILL WELD TO SPEAK IN BROOKLYN --- THE FORMER REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS SPOKE TO YOUNG REPUBLICANS & OTHER BROOKLYNITES AT THE BAY RIDGE AMERICAN LEGION HALL DURING HIS 2006 GOP NYS GUBERNATORIAL RUN


Last week, Bill Weld was formally nominated and accepted the Libertarian Party's nomination for Vice-President of the United States. In April 2006, Weld, the former Governor of Massachusetts, spoke to the Brooklyn Young Republican Club in Bay Ridge at the American Legion Hall, 345 78th Street.

Bob Capano, who was President of the Brooklyn Young Republican club at the time, had invited Weld to make his first appearance in Brooklyn during his campaign for the GOP nomination for Governor of New York State. In June, Weld would announce his withdrawal from the race and John Faso would become the Republican candidate for Governor. Faso would go on to lose to Democrat Eliot Spitzer in November, 2006.
