watchpaul: WHAT'S THIS? Another lawsuit being planned?

WHAT'S THIS? Another lawsuit being planned?

Another case of filing a lawsuit that serves your campaign handlers and backers?

Was that Jeffrey "you gofree.com" Schwartz down at the old Flea Market site on the Bay with an unidentified woman and lawsuit happy Baykeeper, Pete Nichols?

Maybe its a Schwartz look-alike.

Surely we are not going to see a repeat of the DAs office taking over an EPIC lawsuit. Surely, the DAs office isn't planning to take over Baykeepers' lawsuit.

Maybe Schwartz is planning to apply for a job with Baykeepers. I'm sure they can use another lawyer.

Those cameras sure come in handy.

I guess yougofree is bored as he has solved the child abuse problem in Humboldt. No cases anymore....so he's looking to put himself in the spotlight on an so called environmental issue. No doubt the rumors are true that he intends to oust his boss in the next DA race.

He got a little practice in the Arcata City Council race and probably learned who to rub elbows with for the next DA election.

who knows what this guy does during "work hours"!? I doubt even Gallegos knows. But I don't think Gallegos cares as long as it doesn't interfere with his vacations. I doubt if Swartz does much actual work, the kind he gets paid to do.

An interesting exercise would be to call the DA's office today and see who reported for duty.

I'm new to this blog, but I feel the need to give some information that concerns me. Recently, I was eating lunch in old town on a weekday, and I recognized Jeffrey Schwartz from the photos in the Eye drinking alcohol during lunch.

Isn't it against County policy for employees to drink during workhours? I should think that it would be or that at the very least this behavior should concern Mr. Gallegos.

Don't know about County policy but I've seen Max Cardoza drinking a beer at lunch. I do think it's a problem. Looks bad, can't improve work performance, and the two must have a problem with alcohol if they can't wait til they get home.

Where does Jeffy drink / eat at lunch? The brewery? That's were I see Max. I'd hate to look at that maggot Swartz while I was eating.

I read Swartz's blog. He says he will monitor the Arcata city council and if they aren't doing their job he will run again in two years.

Who is going to make sure he does his job, as a Deputy District Attorney?

You should read his last entry! Such an ego for a lazy piece of shit.

Schwartz is just planning his exit from Paul. He'll latch on and milk the Baykeeper, then run against Paul 4 yrs from now.

And will the dirt fly then!

Paul Gallegos

The Humboldt County Grand Jury found that "Weak leadership and poor managerial practices" have undermined the office... Implicit in all evidence gathered by the Grand Jury - including interviews with the D.A. (Paul Gallegos) - is the unfortunate truth that the D.A. (Paul Gallegos) exhibits a limited understanding of how things are done in the department" Gallegos "lacks the global perspective needed to keep the department operating efficiently," and quotes an unnamed staff member as saying, "The D.A. (Paul Gallegos) does not fully understand the functionality of many of the things we do here" - Years later, in his own words: "I’m not an administrator, they didn’t elect me to be an administrator, they elected me to make sure this office runs..."

Douglas & Zanotti

CASE TOSSED The district attorney misrepresented the law and failed to provide evidence of former Eureka Police Chief David Douglas' and Lt. Tony Zanotti's innocence during a criminal grand jury inquiry into the 2006 shooting death of Cheri Lyn Moore, defense attorneys argued in court documents filed Thursday... ”Our judicial system stands as a real and necessary check on the grand jury indictment process,” one of the documents states. “This court has the authority and the means by which to halt this prosecution, which is justified neither by the undisputed facts, nor by the law.”

Gallegos has taken what was "arguably the state's best small DA's office, with a cutting edge CAST program that "trained the trainers"... into a bunch of time serving bureaucratic wannabee brown nosers, lightly sprinkled with a couple of earnest learners who are sure to split as soon as possible.

One weeps for Max Cardoza who won Angellel, and for Maggie Fleming who won so many impossible victories. Mired in Humboldt for personal reasons, they have to suffer the ignominy of working for Paul, with Yougo, yes, yougo who has freed more people as a prosecutor than he did as a defense attorney. As has Paul. Anonymous comment

Gallegos has answers for everything. I’ve never met anyone whose answers came so quickly, with such polish - except about his law school(s). He likely sounded the same way when promising to get prosecutors off their anachronistic “at will” status and onto civil service status. It never happened. Indeed, he told them, “Disloyalty will not be tolerated” – a real morale builder.

He sounds great. What progressive doesn’t want to believe in him? But it’s a myth. He’s an intellectual lightweight and self-aggrandizer who tries to please everybody with glib answers. Jim Fahey for The Arcata Eye

The Humboldt County DA's office is one of the most exciting prosecutorial
offices in California.

Its District Attorney, Paul Gallegos, is willing to charge anyone who commits
wrongdoing--no matter how wealthy, sacrosanct, or ruthless. He believes in total equality before the law. He also plans to be innovative in promoting programs of prevention and treatment. He wants to make it the best prosecutorial office of its size in the nation.... Gallegos' Help Wanted ad

Gallegos' OWN Quotes

★ ...District Attorney Paul Gallegos said he believes the statute of limitations clock, even on misdemeanors, doesn't start running until law enforcement knows or reasonably should have known of the offense. In this case, Gallegos said, that means the statute of limitations would not run out at least until Feb. 8, 2009, or one year after Gundersen's arrest and the discovery of the photographs in question...

★ "...some people actually molest out of different feelings, some times out of feelings of love....” DA Gallegos explaining why Child Abuse prosecutions were down

★ “I never said that the information was not available under the Freedom of Information Act. Quite the contrary, I informed you that our use of force policy is not a public record.” Paul Gallegos to the Times Standard 5/25/07

★ ...“One is that I do everything to make people happy which means I don’t stand for anything except for just something,” he said. “The other is I stand for something and I try to be a leader and take some people, a group of people, a community someplace and I say guess what folks, this is who I am. I stand for your beliefs. We share these beliefs or we don’t. You get the option to judge that. This is who I am and I am committed to leading us this place, wherever it is...." Eureka Reporter Gallegos defends record, looks ahead 7/3/2005

★ Note the difference between what he SAID, and what he DOES..."...So what are these issues? Top on Gallegos' list is the proliferation of "garbage cases," small-time crimes and overcharged cases that he said are clogging up the court system.

Garbage cases, said Gallegos, come in two forms: Cases that would lose if actually brought to trial and cases that are overcharged for the crimes committed. The idea behind filing both kinds of garbage, he said, is to get the defendant to plead guilty, netting a conviction without having to go into court.

Again, the IRONY is astounding! Look at what he SAYS, and then think about what he DOES! "Probably 95 percent of the cases that are filed plead guilty. In fact, there are a lot of cases that are filed on the assumption they will plead guilty, because of the time and expense involved in defending them. But these cases shouldn't even be filed in the first place, because if they were challenged, they would lose," Gallegos said. Better yet: If they weren't filed at all, it would save the county time and money...." North Coast Journal 2/21/02 Too bad he didn't take his own advice.

★ “Tim’s a stud,” he said. “He really is; anyone would be stoked to have him.” Gallegos on his second in command right hand man Assistant District Attorney Tim Stoen. (Former second in command right hand man to Jim Jones/People's Temple.)

NOTE:

"Helping Crush Progressivism" - ie: exposing the predatory litigious orgs and those who seek power for power's sake.... The original purpose of watchpaul is to post important documents relating to Humboldt County District Attorney Paul Gallegos and his handlers who seek to gain power through the acquisition of political offices. This includes, but is not limited to, the manipulations of "Humboldt Watershed Council," "EPIC," "Baykeeper," and other activist groups - the unregulated orgs. It also includes the master manipulators, such as Richard Salzman and Ken Miller.
