Another follow up\u2026January 19, 2018\u2026note the first line of the narrative titled…\u201dIS IT POSSIBLE, WHAT IF?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the follow-up on January 17, I posed a couple of questions. If the new Federal Prosecutor had any meritorious legal accomplishments, absolutely yes. Accompanied by the JAG awarding Mr. Kees a Meritorious Service Medal, military service, and is a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Wal-Mart University, Rogers, Arkansas, but hold on, he was a former law partner with Gov. Asa Hutchinson and their law firm in Rogers, Arkansas, remember the first line of the narrative.<\/p>\n

So far the script is being followed to the letter as somewhat prophesied in the narrative below. We only have to wait for the legal conclusion, if there is one, to terminate this narrative. There are 3 possible alternatives that will determine if the narrative is prescient. What are they?<\/p>\n

By the way, the new Prosecutor\u2019s name is Duane Kees and very qualified.<\/p>\n

January 17, 2018\u2026A Follow-up.<\/p>\n

Will the below theorem prove to be prescient? Will Senator Jake Files skate?<\/p>\n

Note the below article published October 21, 2017 describes possible legal engagements re: Files\/Webb.<\/p>\n

A new Federal Prosecutor is in town. Who is he and where did he come from? Is he a product of meritorious legal services, is he a product of strong political connections\/Deep State, or did he work himself up from the stock room?<\/p>\n

Read or reread the piece titled \u201cIS IT POSSIBLE\u2014WHAT IF?\u201d <\/p>\n

The Files\/Webb melodrama has been going on for 6 years or more and like the DC political \u201cinvestigations\u201d, I believe resolutions should be forthcoming immediately. What do you think?<\/p>\n

IS IT POSSIBLE\u2014WHAT IF?\t\t<\/strong>\t\t\t\t\tOctober 21, 2017<\/p>\n

This hypothetical narrative, accompanied by some facts, begins with Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson and could end with the Governor.
\nThe Governor acts like a Progressive with both feet in the DC & Arkansas swamps, an important fact in the narrative. <\/p>\n

\u201cTalk Business\u201d broke the story May 16, 2017 in Little Rock that Sen. Jake Files (R) was allegedly the subject of an FBI criminal investigation, absent Lee Webb. Curious! The next day (Hutchinson\u2019s Screw) Rep. Mat Pitsch (R) boldly announced to the media, \u201cHe will enjoy serving as the next new Republican State Senator\u201d. Was the fix in? Did Pitsch anticipate Files had fallen on his sword?<\/p>\n

Question: At that juncture why did Hutchinson not demand Files resignation? 10\/21\/17 the Governor still mum re: the Senator\u2019s undergoing a number of investigations, along with his refusal to resign his State Senate seat, all in view of the fact the FBI has\/had him under investigation. It is said that during one of the investigatory FBI summons Files stated he was cooperating, yet in a civil deposition he pled the 5th Amendment.<\/p>\n

Another question & purely conjuncture: What action against Files, if any, would be taken by & if Hutchinson called an emergency session of the Arkansas legislature? Files remains a sitting member in the current Arkansas Senate and is Chair of the Senate Revenue and Tax Committee. If he remains in the current legislative body would this act not be fraught with constitutional & legal problems? <\/p>\n

Now the matter of Files legal difficulties moved up the Arkansas River to Fort Smith pertaining to the now defunct River Valley Softball Complex that Files & partner Lee Webb (D) a county employee that were awarded a contract to build the Complex, another curiosity and potentially corrupt act by the Fort Smith City Government. Webb, as stated is also an active government functionary and appears to be a phantom in the current criminal investigation.
\nThe nexus between the Fort Smith city government and Files & Webb\u2019s contractual agreement has been going on well before at least March, 2014. The Fort Smith Board has refused to divulge why these two elected politicians (huge conflicts of interest & maybe more) were awarded the potentially lucrative contract\u2014no transparency. Was the contract between the two parties (Fort Smith & Files\/Webb) a pay-off, a quid pro quo deal, incompetence, or some other arcane involvements? It is known Files & Webb spent well over $2 million taxpayer dollars, plus \u201cin kind\u201d services (e.g. National Guard, Gary Grimes\u2014dirt work) replete with no City oversight\u2014NONE during the 5 year period. Why? After the project was identified as a failure in 2017, $27,000 or more made its way from the AIDC to WAPDD to the City Board and ultimately into the hands of Senator Files. What prompted the Board to continue funding an abject failure? <\/p>\n

Could it be there is a working arrangement in Fort Smith comprised of the City Government, Special Interests, coupled to Files & Webb? Have all & more entities abused a plethora of city, state and federal government taxpayer funds, and leverages available to government and their cronies? <\/p>\n

For example: The nascent Marshal\u2019s Museum, billed as a private endeavor\u2014not so! How many millions did Senator Files pump into Sam Sicard\u2019s & Richard Griffin\u2019s museum? Perhaps from the GIF, accompanied by grants, New Market Tax Credits, and perhaps a plethora of more taxpayer funded operations. <\/p>\n

It appears the powers behind the Museum operation are First National Bank CEO Sam Sicard, Richard Griffin (long time czar of the constitutionally corrupt HUD & owner of a construction company) & a host of lesser lights.<\/p>\n

An FOIA directed to the officers & attorney for the museum resulted in the redaction of names of seed donors & other pertinent data in this ultimately government venture. <\/p>\n

It appears that both Sicard & Griffin have had substantial financial dealings with Files\u2014to what end & why? Particularly with Files laundry list of failed corporate ventures. All that is left in the Files political quiver is the politically potent Chair of the previously mentioned State Revenue & Tax Committee; that allegedly cemented their former quid pro quo relations? If & when the Museum becomes functional who claims ownership & maintains it and if it fails, then who picks up the tab?<\/p>\n

The city & county have contributed thousands of dollars in cash and in-kind resources to the 50,000 sq. ft. Museum behemoth, coupled to federally produced commemorative medallions, paid for by middleclass taxpayers. It looks like these ongoing downtown projects are enhancing the value of the downtown property owners and would not Sicard\u2019s & Griffin\u2019s economic & political pyramid do the same at taxpayer expense?<\/p>\n

President Trump has a pool of candidates to select from for nominations for Federal Prosecutors, i.e. the Western District of Arkansas. In the selection of Federal Prosecutors, Senator Boozman, Congressman Womack & Gov. Hutchinson will probably make the choice. Federal Prosecutors seem to be chosen due to their past political deeds and\/or political connections, not legal prowess.<\/p>\n

In this narrative the Federal Prosecutor selected may be tied to a caveat. The caveat: the individual appointed will not initiate prosecutorial measures against Sen. Files because of what he knows. With that said, could Gov. Hutchinson be the primary force that creates the caveat to be inserted into the appointment? As insurance and for what? <\/p>\n

At this point Files behavior has been one of arrogance and smugness. One would think with the legal baggage he is carrying he would present the opposite. <\/p>\n

Maybe Files is holding the winning hand after all\u2014that is a headful of dirty linen that may have been carried out by Hutchinson & his minions and of course including the Fort Smith City Government, and some of the insiders who may have leaned on Files for political\/financial favors.<\/p>\n

If the legal winds are blowing toward prosecuting Files, he may have to play his alleged hold card which is, if the principals in this matter threaten to prosecute Files, will he blow the whistle and reveal all the possible dirty tricks employed by the aforementioned that conceivably could bring down the Hutchinson regime as well as involvement with the FS city government– and Files would skate? Hypothetically the key is their choice of a Federal Prosecutor, accepting the caveat. <\/p>\n

This hypothetical narrative, in the main, actually has become all too common in federal, state & local government. <\/p>\n

Wake up Americans: Incumbency is a toxic weed\u2014fatal.<\/p>\n
