Why were we not invited per Defenzor as before Mr Kaffie?Posted on January 1, 2006 at 05:22:16 AM by Jaime KenedeñoPolitical Pulse: 12.25.05 December 25, 2005 Democrats meet, greet at Olivarez fundraiser Last Friday night, Charles Kaffie and George Finley hosted some of the county's top Democrats at Kaffie's art-filled Ocean Drive manse to fete and fundraise for Democrat County judge candidate Larry Olivarez. Talking politics in the crowd were District Judge Sandra Watts, her son, Mikal Watts, County Court at Law Judge Marisela Saldana, former port commissioner Tony Pletcher, his wife Laura and about 25 others with checkbooks large enough to kick in some dough. Judge Watts makes a family correction One of Olivarez's fledgling campaign staff bounced up to Judge Watts and said. "Nice to meet you Judge! I just met your husband Mikal." Watts laughed and explained that Mikal is her son. Attendees call Rodriguez 'Sheriff' Several in the crowd at Kaffie and Finley's reception shook hands with Sheriff's Chief Deputy Jimmy Rodriguez and said "Hello,Sheriff." Last Saturday afternoon at a bike giveaway program at the Solid Rock Worship Center, Rodriguez said he hoped to be sheriff. Nearly a week later Rodriguez said in a statement, that if he is appointed interim sheriff he will not run for the office. "The employees of this department and the citizens of this community deserve to have someone serving out this appointment who is only motivated by a desire to maintain the continuity and stability and the duties and obligations of this office." Shamsie shows humor with some gag gifts After a short lecture on the importance of watching the budget, County Judge Terry Shamsie handed out Christmas presents to the county commissioners, much to their amazement. "You're so cheap, judge," Commissioner Chuck Cazalas said. "I'm surprised." Commissioner Betty Jean Longoria unwrapped her package carefully, showing off the frugality she says she learned from Shamsie. "I'm trying to save the wrapping paper," she said. "I learned that from you." Shamsie was apparently practicing thriftiness as well - aside from a silver compact for Longoria, the gifts were all gags, and a couple of them were recycled. Commissioner Peggy Banales got a purple T-shirt with Schwing emblazoned across the front. Shamsie said he got it from Banales' predecessor, Frank Schwing. Commissioner Oscar Ortiz unwrapped a can of bug spray that Shamsie said would come in handy during budgeting time. "To keep all the ticks off the budget," Shamsie said. And for Cazalas, the lone Republican on the court, Shamsie gave used copy of Bill Clinton's autobiography, "My Life." "I want you to read about a real leader," Shamsie said. Cazalas promised to read as much as he could stomach. Shamsie plans the talk of several insiders When County Judge Terry Shamsie announced that he would not seek reelection, he was quick to say that he was not closing the door to run for another political office. For the past two weeks, the talk at the courthouse has been that Shamsie is gunning for the position of District Judge Sandra Watts, who has not drawn another opponent. Watts' son is Mikal, the powerful, big money lawyer behind several key candidates, who also recently financed a poll that put Shamsie behind Loyd Neal in the county judge's race. Watts' political camp is saying the numbers and the poll angered Shamsie. Shamsie was not taking calls late this week, but insiders close to his political camp including Mack Rodriguez say Shamsie was not mad at the poll and that he is not likely to take on Watts or anyone else this political season. "I don't think it will happen," Rodriguez said. "It would be easier for him to stay in and run for county judge. He is worn out. I think he is just going to take a break and stay out and catch his breath." But businessman and Democrat politico George Finley, who has remained one of Shamsie's closest allies, said Watts could be in Shamsie's sights. "Anything is possible," he said. "All I can tell you is that it is the general consensus of those who know and love Terry is that he is a little bit wacky. And nothing would surprise us. Me or Fil (Filemon Vela) and Rose (District Judge Vela) or anybody." Watchers keep eyes open for Vela's plans There's a big announcement coming from District Judge Rose Vela's court on January 2 that has judiciary watchers guessing. There has been speculation that Vela will step down in early January and be replaced by Republican powerbroker and attorney Colleen McHugh, who was recently named to the University of Texas Board of Regents by Governor Rick Perry. Vela wants to run for the 13th Court of Appeals, according to friends of Vela and her husband Filemon. "Rose is not stepping down," said George Finley, a close friend and political ally. "She is seriously contemplating running for the appellate court. Although they consider themselves to be friends with Colleen, they have not had any conversations about Colleen getting the governor's appointment to take Rose's place." Finley pointed out that McHugh, who recently left Bracewell Giuliani, is his personal labor attorney. "Although politically she could win if she were running, even though she is a Republican," he said. Judge Hunter listed among nation's greats District Judge Jack Hunter is in esteemed company this week after his inclusion in the 60th Diamond Edition of Marquis Who's Who in America.

Tony Canales Atty for Firestone, Mikal Watts Atty for Victims, Fil Vela Judge... HUM????Posted on January 1, 2006 at 06:04:34 AM by Jaime KenedeñoMcAllen jury deliberating Firestone case BY LYNN BREZOSKY Associated Press Writer McALLEN, Texas — Jurors began deliberating Tuesday in a $1 billion lawsuit against Bridgestone/Firestone Inc. after hearing lawyers for the family of a paralyzed woman compare the company’s tires with mass murderer Timothy McVeigh. Firestone lawyers instead blamed the crash on Ford Motor Co., which made the Explorer sport utility vehicle in which the 39-year-old mother of three was riding. U.S. District Court Judge Filemon Vela gave the nine-member jury a 20-count charge to guide its deliberations, which lasted less than two hours and were scheduled to resume Wednesday. The judge asked jurors to determine whether the Firestone Wilderness AT tire had a manufacturing defect because of poor design and negligence. “This tire has killed more people than Timothy McVeigh. That is the awesome nature of the tragedy,” Mikal Watts, a lawyer for victim’s family, said in a closing argument. More than 200 deaths and 800 injuries in the United States have been blamed on Explorers rolling over after a tire tread separation involving a Firestone tire. Bridgestone/Firestone has settled more than 150 cases. “I wish at times the law would allow me to take this axle and beat these people up,” said another of the family’s lawyers, Tab Turner — referring to Firestone officials. “This is the day the American people can stand up and tell Firestone we’re not going to take it.” Firestone attorneys closed their case by continuing to argue that faulty design of the Ford Explorer made tires lose their tread. They said any other vehicle would not have rolled over after a similar tire failure. Lead Firestone attorney Knox Nunnally used the last minutes of the trial to present internal Ford correspondence dating to 1988 that he said showed the auto maker knew early on about faulty design of the Explorer. Nunnally said the correspondence showed high fatality rates in rollover crashes involving its Bronco II, the forerunner to the Explorer. The documents show that even company test drivers had difficulty handling the Explorer, he said. “It is their job,” Nunnally said, referring to the injured woman’s family, “to prove with a preponderance of evidence that the tire was defective. We believe they have not yet done that.” Firestone attorney Tony Canales suggested that the jury should find Ford liable for $6.5 million in damages — even though Ford is not a defendant, having settled out of court for $6 million. During testimony in the eight-day trial, Firestone officials said that tread separations are common but rarely cause the kind of rollover accident that left Marisa Rodriguez paralyzed last year. Lawyers for Dr. Joel Rodriguez attacked the final Bridgestone/Firestone witness as a retired company loyalist whose job in court is to dodge blame for faulty tires. Watts, one of the Rodriguez lawyers, cited recent cases in which witness James Gardner blamed driver error in Explorer rollovers involving tread separations. Now, Watts said, Gardner is arguing that Ford Motor Co. is solely at fault for rollovers involving tread separations. Watts said that differs from a Mississippi deposition in which Gardner testified Explorers “do not have a propensity to roll over.” “That testimony took place Dec. 15, 1998 — before you started fighting with one another,” Watts said, referring to a public rift between Ford and Bridgestone/Firestone. Gardner said he “had always been under the impression that there were problems with the Explorer,” but that he wasn’t convinced until seeing a study commissioned by Bridgestone/Firestone after his 1998 deposition. He said he wanted to show jurors that an object, perhaps a baseball, caused the tire to fail and that the product had no defects when it left Bridgestone/Firestone’s Decatur, Ill., plant in 1997. Holding pieces of the Rodriguezes’ rear right tire, Gardner said the inner tire’s smoothed surface was a result of friction caused by prolonged rubbing against the loose outer tread. After about 1,000 to 4,000 driving miles, he said, the tread finally separated on the day of the accident. Bridgestone/Firestone lawyers say that tread separations are common and that Explorers roll over because of design flaws that prompt panicked drivers to oversteer, causing the vehicle to tip over. But Rodriguez’s attorneys say drivers wouldn’t have to react if the tires didn’t fail first. They say Bridgestone/Firestone knew how to fix its defective tires. “I guess what you’re trying to say is, ‘If our tire runs over a baseball, we’re not responsible,”’ Watts said. Rodriguez, a doctor from the South Texas town of Pharr, sued the tire manufacturer after his wife was left brain-damaged and paralyzed following the crash. Rodriguez’s lawyers are trying to prove that Bridgestone/Firestone knew tire tread separation was a problem before it recalled 6.5 million tires last summer.

Jeff Montgomery is Barbara Black & Mikal Watts Political Consultant ranked #5Posted on December 27, 2005 at 00:11:12 AM by Jaime Kenedeño5. Jeff Montgomery Montgomery & Associates Jeff Montgomery has been in the middle of the bitter infighting among state House Democrats in the primary elections this year - but he's not a typical Texas Democratic Party in crowd member - and he marches more often to his own beat than he does to the party line. That might make him have to work a little harder than the state party's consulting establishment for the business he gets doing media and research for political candidates. But it might also force him to try to be a little better at the job than some state party insiders who take their share of the pie more for granted - and he has as many or more awards to show for his work than most consultants in town. He helped State Rep. Aaron Peña defend his Rio Grande Valley state House seat this year against a well-armed primary opponent with strong business support - and he handled the consulting duties for former Rep. Tracy King as he prevailed in a rematch against State Rep. Timoteo Garza for the Southwest Texas seat that changed hands two years ago. Montgomery produced former House Education Chairman Paul Sadler's media in the special state Senate election in Northeast Texas - and the Democrats came close to an upset despite unprecedented GOP firepower for a legislative campaign. In addition to his work in politics, Montgomery has conducted public opinion surveys for a diverse range of corporate and public clients including Mikal Watts' law firm and the University of Texas System. He's made some Republicans mad with polls that he initiated on his own. Despite the relatively independent nature, he's handled some direct mail and phone banks for the state Democratic Party in recent years. His firm, Montgomery & Associates, last year added several Pollie awards from the American Association of Political Consultants to its collection of honors including first-place in bilingual television advertising for a spot on the Cameron County judge race and third place in the same category for a Barbara Canales Black ad in her state Senate campaign.

Here is one from YOUR"S TRULY, El Defenzor's Own Homero.Posted on December 26, 2005 at 11:43:57 PM by Jaime KenedeñoIs MIKAL WATTS, the founder of the Good Government Political Action Committee, Organizing To Help His Mom Turn Republican? ---------------------<>--------------------- Research Indicates Many Contributors Are Hardcore Republicans – With Grudges Against Democrats --------------------------------------- Corpus Christi, TX – The Watts Law Firm founded by Mikal Watts is listed by the Texas Ethics Commission as being the organization in charge of the political action committee known as the Good Government PAC. This political organization has paid to discredit state Rep. Jaime Capelo, Democrat-Corpus Christi, via billboards and Bus Stop advertisements. When one of the contributors (who has affirmed his political affiliation with the Republican Party) was asked by the Defenzor why he contributed to the PAC, he responded: “My intention is to expose corruption within the Democratic Party!” The shocking news is that many of the names who appear as donors/contributors of the mentioned PAC are not only trial lawyers but high ranking Republicans or activists in South Texas and one is even a member of the Texas Republican Executive Committee. Political Scandal Unveiled? The following information was obtained from the Quorum Report, an online Texas political newsletter; it confirms reports that the Good Government PAC, that has been responsible for a blitz on negative paid political advertisement targeting Capelo. Contributors to the Good Government PAC that appear on the list: Paul Altheide (Corpus Christi), $50; Richard Anger (Corpus Christi), $50; Antoinette Atteberry (Orange Grove), $50; Bill Bates (Corpus Christi), $50; Tracy Bates (Corpus Christi), $50; Jim Bordden (Corpus Christi), $50; Richard Bowers (known Republican of Corpus Christi), $50; Lance Bruun (Corpus Christi, sits on the Executive Committee of the Texas Republican Party), $50; Amado Contreras (Dario Barga’s Brother?), $25; Dora Contreras (Dario Barga’s Sister?), $25; Clark Flato (Corpus Christi), $50, Adalberto Gonzalez (Corpus Christi), $40; Alfonso Gonzalez (Corpus Christi), $50; Dr. Ron Him (McCallen), $50; Javir Juarez (Corpus Christi), $50; Cynthia Coronado (San Antonio), $50; Mrs. Albert Dominguez (Corpus Christi former support of Barbara Canales Black for State Sentate), $25; Richard Dupriest (Corpus Christi), $50; William Durrill (name sure sounds familiar in Corpus Christi), $50; Dr. Kery Feferman (San Antonio), $50; Maria Orozco (Corpus Christi), $25; Mayra Orozco (Corpus Christi), $25; Jane Quiroz (campaign manger for State Representative Vilma Luna), $50; Allen Ray (linked with Barbara Canales-Black and a native of Rivera?), $50; Roberta Maymond, $25; Linda Laws-Pate (relate to Jaime Capelo’s former Republican opponent?), $50; C.E. May (known Republican of Sarita, TX) Jr.; Leonard May (Sarita – known Republican), $50; Joe McComb (former County Commissioner and failed Republican candidate for County Judge), $50; Reynaldo Moreno (Corpus Christi),, $25; Alicia Rodriguez, $25; Andres Rodriguez, $50; The Edwards Law Firm (trial lawyers), $50,000; Joyce Turcotte (Kingville), $50; Watts Law Firm (the PAC’s governing entity), LLP, $50,000; James Whitten (Sinton), $25. The above list clearly indicates that the Good Government Political Action Committee has a non-Democratic Party element and is funded by interest parties that want to unseat traditional Democratic Party politicos have a vested interest in unseating, essentially progressive politi-cians espousing an Hispanic-oriented cause. The billboards aiming propaganda darts at Capelo, if funded by the above parties, clearly indicate that they are not representative of the Hispanic community at large who for the most part has to carry the burden of poverty and unfortunate education and for the most part have meager resources for health care. The Good Government PAC is paying about $1,000 per month for the billboard advertisements allow the highways and about $50 a month for the 50 or so bus bench advertisements. “Vote No to Jaime Capelo" – this is the message put out by the group who is headed by Mikal Watts, whose mother serves as a District Judge – i.e., Sandra Wattts. A known Republican Party contributor to the PAC told the Defenzor: “I feel that the billboard should have included another statement – ‘The Democratic Party is corrupt.’” Why then is the traditional media not reporting on the charged vested interests of the Good Government PAC? Watts, many politic observers in the region believe is targeting Capelo not so much for supporting legislation that restricts the amount of funds that plaintiffs can amass in medical malpractice civil actions, but due to the fact that his mother was not supported politically this politico. Watts, an email release by Capelo during a recent deposition, shows the animosity has he carries against those that abandoned his mother. Watts goes as far as to insist the employees of the law firm he is affiliated with to adopt a political posture against Capelo. Capelo has filed report with law enforcement forces about four months ago accusing Watts of making bullying remarks against him. Such romantic quackeries of politics reflect irrational thinking that is spilling over into the Hispanic community. Watts seems to have hitched horses with forces that do not ring with sincerity when it comes to supporting progressive political measures in favor of the loyal Democratic Party factions in El Pueblo Hispano. Political expediency? There is a Mexicano saying: “No existen los tiempos malos, lo malo es el hombre” (Bad times do not exist, what is wrong is man). Some political observers believe that if Mikal Watts fails in his attempt to unseat Capelo and discredit what has been referred to as La Clica of the Democratic Party, he will urge his mother – Judge Sandra Watts – to run Republican next time around. The following information (and interviews with some that appear on the list) also seems to reflect that State Representative Vilma Luna (who is represents the Watts Law Firm also) has strong links with Republican leaders in the region. There is another saying in the Hispanic community: “Cuan grande seria el hombre si no fuese tan arrogante” (How great man would be, were he not so arrogant). Watts there is no doubt about it is capitalizing on the conflict involving Capelo and Attorney Rene Rodriguez in three civil cases interconnected to the $100,000 check. Recently in a deposition, Rodriguez cleared Capelo of any wrongdoing by claiming asserting the mentioned check was written in error. However, Watts and his organization are adamant of describing it as a kickback for bringing an arrangement in a refinery lawsuit. During the mentioned deposition of Capelo, Attorney Tony Canales (Barbara Canales-Black’s father), used the words “Let’s finish him” (referring to taking Capelo’s deposition). Mafia language? Or did he borrow the phrase from the video game Mortal Kombat – “Finish him! Finish him!” – whatever the case, it sure was unprofessional. Terry Arnold, the lone Republican candidate has a lot to gain from the efforts of the Good Government PAC and Watts’ indignation – it is a resonant cause to Arnold’s campaign. Some argue that not only Capelo will be victimized by the PAC group, but other Hispanic politicos as well. Even Nueces County Commissioner Oscar Ortiz’s opponent, Maria Zarate, has been sponsored by attorneys affiliated with State Representative Vilma Luna and Sandra Watts such as William Bonilla and Tony Canales and Albert Huerta. The Watts Law firm was founded by Mikal C. Watts. Their website reads/brags: “…(The firm is) nationally recognized as one of two firms leading the nationwide claims against Bridgestone/Firestone and Ford. His litigation efforts involving Chrysler minivan liftgate latches; General Motors fuel system integrity; and improper maintenance of commercial trucks have been chronicled nationwide. He (Mikal Watts) tried the country's first case over recalled Sulzer hip implants with a jury award of $15,500,000. He won the first plaintiffs' case involving the withdrawn diabetes drug Rezulin with a jury award of $43,000,000. His $5,400,000 verdict involving improper propane distribution has been chronicled statewide, focusing on the importance of compliance with Texas Railroad Commission regulations.” The Watts Law Firm has offices in Corpus Christi, San Antonio, McAllen, Brownsville, and Houston. In Corpus Christi, the firm is located in Tower II Building on the 14th Floor at 555 North Carancahua Street. http://freewebs.com/defensornews/watts022404.htm

Re(1): Here is one from YOURPosted on December 26, 2005 at 11:48:42 PM by Jaime Kenedeño10/18/03 Doctors Acting As Politicos Submit Letter To The Corpus Chriti Caller-Times And Even Distribute It In The Nueces County Community ----------<>---------- Nueces County, TX -- Twenty doctors have signed a letter that is included at the end of this comentario. The letter not only shows implicit and explicit support for the career politico State Represenative Jaime Capelo, D-Corpus Christi, but the document goes as far as to ask District Court Sandra Watts to remove herself from a case in which Capelo has been accused of taking a $100,000 rebate from Attorney Rene Rodriguez. The Doctors are clearly now functioning as politicos attempting to influence both the legal and legislative system to discourage malpractice claims (i.e., personal lawsuits?) via legislation and other matters. Representative Capelo and his chief of staff -- Humberto "Bert" Quintanilla, seems to have, for expedient reasons, engaged in a reposturing campaign, alligning themselves with a politically oriented organization that resulted in a previous election in the ousting of District Judge Martha Huera (wife to Capelo's Chief of Staff). The voters of Nueces County should be able to see beyond the trees of the forest and know that Capelo is constructing a fort to promote his own interests and protect his personal career via his new political allies. Capelo defied the court this week when he did not submit all the bank and financial statements and deposition statements demanded by Judge Watts' Court. The doctors, which are serving as a political lobbying force, are pointing out that an email that was supposedly drafted by Watts' son -- Mikal Watts -- should be used as a reason that she recuse herself from the case. Mikal supposedly shared the email with his staf that talks about his political preferences...Not a crime, all of us have them. The pernicious effect of the political doctors is not inspired by humanitiarian or humanistic duty but by the mighty dollars they will not have to pay in insurance premiums. Doctor welfare? In the mist of stirring events, Capelo has clearly defeated what he originally stood for -- or at least gave lip service to in the past: he is now the political plan and map and malleable dough of doctors who want to play politicos; doctors who clearly have overstepped their bounds and want to disrupt resonance ideals of justice. The political doctors should be held accountable by the voters; they should send a message to Capelo this election around. As the old saying goes: "Justice is only spell correctly the oppressed; because the oppressor (clearly the poltiical doctors in this case who are defending someone accused of legal malpractice -- so to speak) spell justice....JUST US." Read letter submitted by the doctors who want to play politicos (it includes signatures): Letter (dated Oct. 15) reads: ...................."Jamie Capelo is our enemy" - this is a direct quotation from a letter dated 3/29/03 (that appeared in the Caller-Times) and written by Mikal C. Watts, the well-known plantiff attorney. This only emphasizes the persecution representative Jamie Capelo has suffered these last several months because he has represented his district and has shown leadership by his co-sponsorship of House Bill 4 and his support of Proposition 12." The letter continues: "Both of these measures were urgently needed to help stabilize access to health care in Texas. The plaintiff attorneys have scorned Rep. Capelo and now are attempting to destroy him both personally and professionally. They seem to have forgotten that a person is innocent until proved guilty. We have great concern that Judge Sandra Watts will preside over the Capelo case. It is difficult to discern that she will have any objectivity regarding this case since she is directly related to Mikal Watts. She should consider herself potentially biased toward Rep. Capelo and recuse herself from this case. Corpus Christi and the state of Texas should be appreciative of the leadership of Jamie Capelo. Thank you.

""A Tickler of Events to Come" for the YANQUISPosted on December 27, 2005 at 05:11:53 AM by Jaime KenedeñoOk, trying to break down the factions and the affinities bringing them in and out of affiliation, I will try tomake sense of it ALL. Tony Canales & Mikal Watts have a common enemy in Jaime Capelo. While Mikal Watts claims to be exacting his influence against Capelo for Capelo not supporting (politically) his Mother Sandra Watts (Nueces County District Judge); the other reason might seem to the average citizen as a most motivating factor, it is the Legislation Capelo Co Authored with Joe Nixon HB 4. A local proposition Capelo wrote apparently evolved into the HB 4. This legislation limited product liability amount$ at $250k per victim. Canales seemingly should be applauding the Capelo Litigation as his close personal friend Hugo Berlanga sat Capelo into his vacated seat. Hugo had legal problems and probably was designing the medical legislation before he ran into legal allegations. So the bill is favorable to TWO FER, KFATSO & the Health care system; so why would Tony be mad? Senator Carlos Truan "retired" but sources tell me he was told to not run again. So now Nueces has nobody to replace Truan. Two Fer has his Daughter run assuming that the usual crowd will back the Dr Hector "coat tails". It seems a rift occurred. rene odriguez Jaime Capelo & Shamsie represented a new faction and backed Chuey Hinojosa over Barbara Canales. Tony was humiliated and this is his reason for stirring up the Police Officers Association (Citgo Faction). He YANQUIED the Cops into going after Rodriguez. Capelo (Citgo Atty) settled with Rodriguez (CCPOA Atty). Capelo settled out of court for a small fee of course. Lawyers always do these type of "Rebates" as Homero terms it. Two Fer already had this info when he roused the CCPOA up against Rodriguez. So was Capelo a fall guy to get at Rodriguez for Two Fer and Watts alligned with Two Fer so as to Finish Capelo. that is one part Solomon Ortiz represents the old school and has retained much of the old ties of Dr Hector. I would say more so than Two Fer the YANQUI. But this too is evolving into an "independent thinking" electorate. These labels Democrat & Republican mean nothing anymore. They too are used by the YANQUIS. Then there was Terry Arnold for the republicans. Abel Herrero is another spport system and probably allligns with one of the above but not Watts and his good government PAC. Nelda Martinez whom I understand is close with Mr Rangel's daughter. Watts is smart. Watt he is doing is picking the winners and influencing them with money. Watt does he expect in return is Wattt I am concerned about. "A Tickler of Events to Come"

Mikal Watts is not about Humanity or Goodwill he is about Mikal Watts.Posted on December 26, 2005 at 11:33:56 PM by Jaime KenedeñoSame thing with Vance Owen. They both used Mauricio Celis. He (Celis) brought the clients from Mexico through Vance to Watts. Then Watts distanced himself from all of the Players in the Firestone cases from Mexico (except an attorney named Mike Guerra in the Edinburgh Office). Vance took Mauricio on a spending contest going halves on many things including the EL TAPATIO, Ferrarri's, Havana Club,etc... etc...Women and more women. Whisked away on dates in the leer jet to Mexico and destinations unknown. I always wondered WATT they were packing on the way home. Probably money. Well I understand Mr Owens has since sold his half to Celis and is now liquid. I wonder what shit is fixing to hit the fan? CCPD has rumored of impropriety with these YANQUIs.
