Henrico County CA Shannon Taylor's Legal Fees will cost Henrico Taxpayers over $250,000

 HENRICO COUNTY FOIA OFFICER "HENRICO CITIZENS WILL PAY OVER $250,000 TO DEFEND SHANNON TAYLOR'S UNETHICAL MISCONDUCT"

Henrico County FOIA Officer Stephen Robinson has stated that the legal fees to defend Shannon Taylor, Michael Feinmel, and two previous Commonwealth Attorneys in two complaints filed with the Henrico County Circuit Court have exceeded $250,000. in less than two years and expects it to reach $400,000. 

The two ethics complaints are still in the Court of Appeals of Virginia (CAV) and have not been set for oral arguments. The legal fees could cost Henrico County citizens $400,000 by the time the CAV issues its legal opinions in the two pending cases.

Overwhelmed by Taylor and Feinmel's legal expenses, Henrico FOIA Officer Stephen Robinson stated in an email that "it is not practically possible to provide the requested records within the five-day work period due to the volume of records" and needed additional seven (7) days to complete the FOIA request.

Henrico Commonwealth Attorney Shannon Taylor and Assistant Commonwealth Attorney Michael Feinmel requested that the Henrico Circuit Court grant an order to the Henrico County Treasurer to pay the legal expenses in the two (2) cases filed against them.

The two ethics complaints filed against Shannon Taylor and Michael Feinmel state that they conspired with other attorneys who violated the Virginia Code of Professional Conduct, Judicial Canons of Virginia, and Virginia Codes. 

Shannon Taylor and Michael Feinmel are accused of accepting financial and political bribes to keep a 600-kilo cocaine fugitive distributor in exile and to prevent him from being extradited for 13 felony cocaine distribution indictments. 

Henrico Circuit Court documents in Case Nos. CL22-2250 and CL21-6572 state that Shannon Taylor, Michael Feinmel, Judge Lee Harris, and Henrico Clerk Heidi Barshinger conspired to destroy evidence in the fugitive's case. 

Part 1. Hirschler Attorneys are Subject of FBI Investigations for Fraud and Exploitation in $6,000,000. Property

 Hirschler Law Firm Under Investigation for Federal Code Violations of Fraud and Exploitation of an Elderly and Disabled Person

March 28, 2023. Author-Brace Impact

Criminal complaints filed with the FBI have sparked investigations into the Hirschler law firm in Richmond, Virginia, for numerous federal code violations in an attempt to financially exploit an elderly and disabled person who owns 20% of a $6,000,000 property.

Hirschler attorneys Franklin R. Cragle, III, Partner,  and Alexander P. M. Boyd, Associate, are under investigation by the FBI for:

U.S. Code § 1341 - Frauds and swindles

U.S. Code § 1343 - Fraud by wire

U.S. Code § 875 - Interstate communications

U.S. Code § 21002 - Civil Financial Exploitation 

The criminal complaint filed with the FBI alleges that Hirschler attorneys assisted their clients in committing fraud and financial exploitation of their real estate partner in a Henrico County land partnership consisting of 52 acres of planned industrial land worth over $6,000,000.

The victim is listed as Georgia Drizos, 84, a resident of Greece. Georgia Drizos and her recently deceased husband, Diamiantis Drizos, owned a 20% share of 52 acres close to the RVA Airport, planned for light industrial by Henrico County.

 

The Drizos own the property with other family members who purchased the property in 1998 for $4000 per acre; the property had been zoned for agricultural use. As a result, the property significantly increased in value to approximately $135,000 per acre as development rocketed in Henrico County and was upgraded to light industrial by the Henrico County Planning Commission.

The criminal complaint states that the partners entered into a contract with Lingerfelt Commonwealth Partners in March 2022 for an undisclosed amount. The partners should have informed Diamiantis and Georgia Drizos of the contract agreement. In addition, the Drizos did not sign the real estate contract, and none of the partners had a power of attorney for Drizos.

Lingerfelt Commonwealth Partners conducted feasibility studies on the property and notified the partners that they would proceed with a sale. However, instead of informing the Drizos of the pending contract of sale, the partners retained Hirschler law firm to file a Complaint for  Partition of Allotment (Partition case) to have the Henrico County Circuit Court approve the sale of the 52 acres. 

Hirschler partner Franklin Cragle and Alexander Boyd filed the Partition case (CL22004708) on July 29, 2022, naming Diamiantis and Georgia Drizos, the U.S. Attorney for Virginia, and the U.S. Attorney General as defendants. 

The U.S. Attorney for Virginia and the U.S. Attorney General are listed as defendants because of an IRS tax lien encumbering the property; court pleadings state that the Hirschler law firm distributed IRS tax funds held in escrow to some of the partners. The IRS funds held in escrow were meant to pay the capital gains tax of the Drizos’ share of a partial land sale in 2000 and a Henrico County condemnation settlement in 2002. 

Hirschler committed tax fraud by violating the IRS FIRPTA Withholding Act by distributing the IRS funds to their clients instead of paying the IRS. Drizos filed their foreign resident tax returns with an approximate capital gains tax of $23,000. The IRS placed a tax lien on the property in 2002, which encumbered the property.

On August 4, 2022, Diamiantis Drizos passed away at his residence in Athens, Greece, leaving his 10% share to Georgia Drizos. Diamiantis Drizos and Georgia Drizos suffer from dementia and have caretakers 24 hours a day.

Hirschler  Attorneys Franklin Cragle and Alexander Boyd committed fraud on the court by intentionally failing to serve the Drizos through the mandatory Hague Service Process for foreign residents. Instead, they served the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Virginia, which only applies to residents of the United States. Articles of the Hague service process state that the court documents are required to be translated into the foreign country's language and personally served by a municipality prosecutor at the defendant’s address. 

Hirschler’s attorneys intentionally did not have the pleadings translated and sent to the Hague authority in Greece for the personal service process. The Partition case would have been heard without the Drizos knowing there was a pending hearing for their land.

Hirschler schemed to obtain a default judgment on Drizos by defective service and have the court issue an order to grant the Partition suit. Georgia Drizos, suffering from dementia, would not know that her 20% share had been sold, and the partners would have divided the property sales proceeds amongst themselves with the assistance of the Hirschler attorneys.

 

Part 3. Henrico Police Chief Eric English exclusive interview about 27 Day delayed arrest of privileged Child Molester

 White "Affluent Upper-class" Child Molester Given Special Legal Treatment and Protection by Henrico CA Shannon Taylor

February 28, 2023-Author Brace Impact

   Henrico CA Shannon Taylor provided David R. Gibbs a separate justice system because of his white, affluent upper-class status. As a result, David Gibbs, an aspiring actor, was treated differently than a black, Hispanic, Asian, or any other race would have been if they were charged with the same felonies.

      A grand jury indicted David Randolph Gibbs on May 16, 2022, on two counts of forcible sodomy on a child less than 13 years old, violating Va. Code §18.2-67.1, and two counts of carnal knowledge of a child 13-14 years old violating Va. Code §18.2-63.

     Henrico County property records indicate that David R. Gibbs owns two homes at 204 Dryden Lane, Henrico County, an upscale community in the Sleepy Hollow/Mooreland Farms area 11232 Fanwood Court, Henrico County, in the Short Pump area of the ritzy west end. Both homes have a combined tax assessment value of more than $1,500,000.

   Despite the four felony indictments, capias, and a judge's order for Gibbs' immediate arrest for the felony sexual assaults, CA Shannon Taylor gave special legal treatment and protection to David R. Gibbs so he could attend social events outside Virginia and voluntarily turn himself in after 27 days because of his upper-class white privilege status. 

    Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) dictates that once a capias and orders are issued for the suspect’s arrest, the HPD will immediately take action to arrest the suspect. Still, the SOP was not followed in the David R. Gibbs case. In an exclusive interview with HPD Chief Eric English, see below; Chief English stated, "I was not aware of any deal, and there was no discussion of this case with me." 

    If HPD Chief English and his agency were unaware of any deal made for David Gibbs to turn himself in after 27 days, then CA Shannon Taylor hid the capias and judge's order for Gibbs’s arrest from the HPD. Normal SOP is when the Henrico Clerk's office records a capias and order for arrest; they are sent to the HPD to arrest the suspect.

    Further research details that the May 16, 2022, capias issued for David R. Gibbs was not assigned to an HPD officer to arrest Gibbs immediately. Instead, it was filed in the Henrico Clerk's file and hidden from the public and the HPD. 

   Virginia Code § 19.2-80. Duty of arresting officer; bail states: 

Duty of arresting officer; bail.

In any case in which an officer does not issue a summons pursuant to § 19.2-74 or § 46.2-936, a law-enforcement officer making an arrest under a warrant or capias shall bring the arrested person without unnecessary delay before a judicial officer. 

   David R. Gibbs was not arrested and arraigned until June 13, 2022, 27 days after a capias and judge’s order was issued for his immediate arrest, and only by David Gibbs voluntarily turning himself into the HPD.

   David Gibbs was casually allowed to attend the Maryland Preakness on May 20, 2022, 4 days after the 4 felony indictments, capias, and judge's order for his arrest were issued. Gibbs was also allowed to attend his daughter's kindergarten graduation on June 10, 2022, while the capias and judges’ order for his arrest was still active. Gibbs voluntarily turned himself in on June 13, 2022, when he was arraigned and released on a low $20,000. bond on June 14, 2022.

 

   HPD Chief Eric English agreed to an exclusive interview with us, about the delayed arrest of David Gibbs;

Brace Impact:  

1. Were you aware that David Gibbs' delayed arrest was so that he could attend the May 21, 2022,  Preakness at Pimlico Race Course, Baltimore, Maryland?

2. Were you aware that David Gibbs' delayed arrest was so that he could attend his daughter's kindergarten graduation on June 10, 2022? 

3. Were you aware that David Gibbs' delayed arrest was so that he could travel across the U.S to Los Angeles, CA., so that he could attend his wife's reconstructive surgery on her nose?

4. Is this standard operating procedure for the HPD to violate Court orders and delay the arrest of a suspect that has been indicted for two counts of forcible sodomy on a child less than 13 years old, violating Va. Code §18.2-67.1 and two counts of carnal knowledge of a child 13-14 years old violating Va. Code §18.2-63., Two of these felonies carry a life sentence.?

HPD Chief English: Our Detectives investigated this case thoroughly and presented this case for prosecution.  As you are aware there are several entities involved in this case.  I can only speak on what my staff did and that was conducted a thorough investigation.

Brace Impact: Our investigative reporting is about the delay from the May 16, 2022, indictments and capias issued for his arrest and Judge Marshall's order to have David Gibbs arrested and arraigned. There is a twenty-seven day delay and some kind of deal was made with the Commonwealth Attorney to have him turn himself in on June 13, 2022.

Were you aware of this deal?

If so, were you in agreement with this deal?

Considering the seriousness and violent nature of the felonies, was it prudent to allow the suspect to go about his daily life for twenty-seven days, without having been arrested and arraigned?

Isn't the arrest of the suspect under the HPD's jurisdiction, a capias and order were issued for his arrest and the HC Clerk's office recorded the indictments, capias and the arrest order by Judge Marshall?

Is this normal SOP to allow a suspect to be free and roam around like nothing happened for twenty-seven days?

HPD Chief English: I am not going to speak for others. Our agency did what was required of us and that has nothing to do with any SOP. I was not aware of any deal and there was no discussion of this case with me.

   A Henrico County prosecutor who wished to remain anonymous stated that "a deal was made for David Gibbs to voluntarily turn himself in after he attended certain social functions". 

   Whether HPD Chief English was aware of any deal or not, and there was no discussion of the case with him, the HPD has the jurisdiction and authority to arrest a suspect without delay when a capias and/or judge's order has been issued for their arrest.

   

Ethics Complaint filed against top Henrico County Officials for tampering and destroying Court Evidence

 FBI investigating Henrico Court Officials who Tampered and Destroyed Evidence in 600 Kilo Cocaine Case

     An Ethics Complaint (CL22002250) filed with the Henrico County Circuit Court on April 11, 2022, gives evidence of court documents and evidence being tampered with and destroyed. A copy of the complaint can be viewed here: 

Henrico County Ethics Complaint PDF

   A copy of the complaint was filed with the Richmond FBI office, who have opened an investigation into the Henrico Court Officials violating several federal codes including Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242, Deprivation of Rights under Color of Law.

    The Complaint alleges that Judge Lee A. Harris Jr.. Henrico Commonwealth Attorney Shannon L. Taylor, Deputy Commonwealth Attorney Michael Y. Feinmel and Henrico Circuit Court Clerk Heidi Barshinger, conspired together to violate several federal and state codes concerning a 600-kilo cocaine case involving an international fugitive.

    The Complaint details that Deputy Commonwealth Attorney Michael Y. Feinmel concealed the exhibits of evidence in the 2014 Extradition Affidavit submitted to Greece requesting the extradition of the 600 kilo cocaine fugitive and was never filed in the Henrico County Circuit Court Clerk's office. Greece denied the Extradition request by the Henrico Commonwealth Attorney's office for reason of time limitations and other due process violations which the Henrico Commonwealth Attorney failed to file in a timely manner, in which he delayed by more than 21 months after the fugitive's arrest.

    The Complaint states that the Henrico Court officials hijacked a September 25, 2018 Motion to Dismiss with Prejudice 13 Indictments and destroyed 37 exhibits of evidence. The Motion was never filed with the HC Clerk's Office and kept in a separate file hidden from the public. The Motion contained evidence of an alleged criminal syndicate that had been operating in the Henrico County Circuit Court for over 20 years, which had protected an international fugitive wanted for the 600-kilo cocaine organization.

    Despite the hijacked Motion never being filed with the Henrico Clerk's Office, ex parte hearings were held between Judge Lee. A. Harris Jr., HCA Shannon Taylor and DCA Michael Feinmel. The Complaint states that the hearings were held secretly and without a court date being scheduled, orders were issued on the same day as the motions being filed. Numerous orders were issued without the original wet copy motion ever being stamped and filed with the Henrico Circuit Court Clerk's office.

   The 600 kilo cocaine fugitive had filed a Motion for Transportation on November 4, 2018 to be voluntarily extradited to Virginia. Evidence in the complaint details the original Motion for Transportation was denied by Judge Lee A. Harris and destroyed by the named court officials, it was later forged and resubmitted to the HC Circuit Court Clerk, who filed it after it was referred to in other court pleadings. A undisclosed FBI official stated that "it is unheard of for a judge to deny a voluntary extradition request by an accused fugitive wishing to return and face charges"

   Evidence in the complaint filed states that Henrico Circuit Court Clerk Heidi Barshinger recognized that the September 25, 2018 Motion had been hijacked and 37 exhibits of evidence destroyed, yet never reported it to law enforcement authorities. Instead, HC Clerk Barshinger had made false entries and swore under oath that the case records sent to the Virginia Court of Appeals were accurate.

   The HC Court records falsely showed that the September 25, 2018 Motion to Dismiss was filed on September 25, 2018, yet the filing showed a July 22, 2020 stamp and filing date, 20 months after the Motion to Dismiss was received by the HC Clerk's office.

   Judge Lee A. Harris Jr. recognized that the September 25, 2018 Motion to Dismiss was never stamped and filed with the HC Clerk's office, yet Judge Harris held numerous ex-parte hearings and issued orders. Even on July 16, 2020, a hearing was held and the September 25, 2018, Motion to Dismiss was never in the Judges files.

   The HC Court records that were sent to the Virginia Appellate Court by HC Clerk Heidi Barshinger showed several inconsistencies with the actual records of the pleadings filed with the HC Clerk's office.

    The Complaint gives evidence of bribery and political favors involving the four HC County officials linking them to the McGuireWoods Law firm partners Richard Cullen and Howard C. Vick Jr. McGuireWoods Law firm  represented the 600 kilo cocaine fugitive and family members in estate holdings in the tens of millions USD.

    McGuireWoods Law firm terminated Howard Vick Jr. in 2019 and has disavowed any association with Vick since the allegations surfaced in the 2018 Motion to Dismiss.

     Richard Cullen, known in the legal circles as the "head of the Virginia Shadow Government" resigned from McGuireWoods Law firm and was hired by Governor Glenn Youngkin upon being elected Governor. 

     Richard Cullen, Howard Vick Jr., Judge Lee A. Harris, HCA Shannon Taylor, DHCA Michael Feinmel and others were named in a separate ethics complaint (CL21006572) filed with the HC Circuit Court on October 6. 2021, which gives evidence of a criminal syndicate which gave protection, from being prosecuted, to some 40 upper to middle class professionals linked to the 600 kilo cocaine operation. 

    Evidence in the Complaints indicates that HC County officials and other high profile attorneys have protected the 600 kilo cocaine fugitive from being extradited to Virginia and even dismissing federal UFAP warrants so that the fugitive could renew his U.S. passport several times.

 

   

Henrico Officers die in the line of duty, HPD Chief covers up corruption

 HPD Chief covers up Commonwealth Attorney Corruption while Burying "one of his own"

       While Henrico County police officers risk their lives and die in the line of duty, HPD top brass continue to cover up the corruption of Commonwealth Attorney Shannon Taylor and Deputy Commonwealth Attorney Michael Feinmel in a case involving an international fugitive accused of distributing more than 600 kilos of cocaine in the Richmond area.

      A complaint filed in the Henrico County Circuit Court on October 6, 2021, gives evidence of HCA Taylor and DCA Feinmel accepting bribes in exchange for refusing to extradite the fugitive wanted in Henrico County for allegedly distributing 600-kilos of cocaine in the Richmond area for over 10 years.

       A complaint providing the same evidence was sent to HPD Chief Eric English and Deputy Chief Christopher Eley on January 21, 2021 and February 3, 2021, which Chief Eric English and Deputy Chief Eley refused to investigate the evidence of bribery involving HCA Taylor and DCA Feinmel.

     While Henrico's Commonwealth Attorneys are accepting bribes in exchange for protecting an international cocaine fugitive, HPD police officers are dying in the line of duty. Just recently HPD Officer Trey Marshall Sutton was killed on March 30, 2022.

     The October 6, 2021 complaint (CL21006572) filed in the Henrico Circuit Court lists 9 defendants and gives evidence that 3 generations of Henrico Commonwealth Attorneys, prosecutors and a judge have protected international fugitive Nickolas Spanos from being extradited to Virginia despite foreign authorities arresting and detaining Spanos for extradition.

    The basis of the complaint states that the fugitive, if brought back to Henrico to stand trial, could testify against "white affluent lawyers, doctors and businessmen" that were involved in the 600-kilo cocaine organization.

    Former HCA Howard C. Vick Jr. was the original prosecutor in the fugitives case and had instructed the fugitive to "leave for Greece". Howard Vick never filed an extradition request to Greece and made no attempt to have him arrested in Greece. Howard Vick resigned from the HCA office to join the fugitive's law firm McGuireWoods, who represented the fugitives family in estate holdings worth millions of dollars. Howard Vick headed McGuireWoods white collar crime division for almost 20 years until being forced to retire for his illegal actions concerning the fugitive's case.

     CA Shannon Taylor refused to extradite Spanos several times, despite the FBI demanding his extradition and assistance in the transport of the fugitive.

     Not only did 3 generations of Henrico Commonwealth Attorneys refuse to extradite Spanos, they dismissed federal UFAP and INTERPOL arrest warrants so that Spanos could renew his U.S. passport 3 times in past 20 years, the last renewal is listed on May 5, 2019.

    Also listed in the October 6, 2021 complaint is Judge Lee A. Harris Jr., the presiding judge in the Henrico County Circuit Court. The complaint gives evidence that Judge Lee A. Harris Jr. 2 issued orders denying the transport of the fugitive Spanos from Greece, despite Spanos having 13 indictments for distribution of cocaine. 

   FBI and U.S. Marshals cannot transport an international fugitive without a court order issued for his transport and travel arrangements.

    

The highly controversial complaint has had 6 Circuit Court judges recuse themselves from hearing the complaint for reason of conflict of interest.

   While HPD Chief Eric English sheds crocodile tears in the media about "one of his own" being killed in the line of duty, English has no problem sleeping at night knowing Henrico Commonwealth's Attorneys and judges are being bribed in order to protect international fugitives accused of distributing hundreds of kilos of cocaine.

     

Court Complaints show McGuire-Woods partners defrauded their clients

 Ethics Complaints Filed Against Richmond McGuire-Woods Partners for Criminal Activity

Complaints were filed, on August 27, 2021, in Henrico County Circuit Court against three McGuire-Woods partners who conspired in criminal activity and to defraud their client of over $500,000. not including damages.

See complaints filed:

Henrico Circuit Court case no. CL21005759

Henrico Circuit Court Case no. CL21005758

The Complaints state that the three defendants, during their employment with McGuire-Woods law firm, conspired together unethically to have their client illegally removed as trustee & executor of a family trust. The Complaints list several state and federal code violations which entangled them with a fugitive wanted in a 600 kilo cocaine organization.

William Birch Douglass and William Hutchins filed in Henrico County Circuit Court a Petition to Remove Trustee, while the trustee was in Greece. The Trustee named Nickolas Spanos was named as defendant while family members were plaintiffs, who were also McGuire-Woods clients. 

McGuire-Woods partners initiated a lawsuit in which they represented both the plaintiff and defendant. The McGuire-Woods partners knew the exact location of the trustee in Greece, as they communicated with him through conference calls and postal service, but did not serve him through the Hague Service Process but instead served him at his mothers house, who was the plaintiff.

Greece's protocols to the Convention of 15 November 1965 on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil or Commercial Matters, states that foreign service can only be processed through the Greek DOJ and served by only a certified service processor/court official.

The documents intended to be served must also be translated into the Greek language and certified by the Greek Department of Foreign Affairs.

The Trust had no provision for removal and the petition for removal listed no financial irregularities to justify the petition. 

The Defendants filed a Defense Pleading on September 27, 2021, which they did not deny the allegations, only that the statute of limitations had expired for the criminal violations. Yet, there is no statute of limitations for unethical misconduct and violation of the Rules of the Virginia Code of Professional Conduct.

The McGuireWoods partners responded in their defense pleadings that Nickolas Spanos was never a client of McGuireWoods despite evidence showing that Spanos was a client from 1992 and had issued several checks signed by Spanos to McGuireWoods law firm for over 7 years. The checks are listed in Estate reports to the Henrico County Commissioner of Accounts. 

Henrico County Circuit Court records give evidence that several estate documents were recorded with Nickolas Spanos and William Birch Douglass's signatures.

Court filings give evidence that William Birch Douglass, who represented Nickolas Spanos, advised Spanos on numerous legal matters while he was residing in Virginia and Greece. 

Spanos had requested his client files several times yet McGuireWoods unethically refuses to return his client file to him.

At the time of filing the Petition for Removal, Howard "Toby" Vick was the Henrico County Commonwealth Attorney was negotiating with McGuire-Woods law firm Manager Richard Cullen for a partnership but was prosecuting the Trustee Nickolas Spanos for thirteen indictments for conspiracy to distribute cocaine.

An October 6, 2021 Complaint (Case Number: CL21006572) filed in the Henrico County Circuit Court gives evidence that McGuireWoods Partner Richard Cullen bribed Commonwealth Attorney Howard Vick with a partners position at McGuireWoods in exchange to not have Nickolas Spanos extradited from Greece. 

Nickolas Spanos was accused by Howard Vick as being the "hub of a 600 kilo cocaine organization that operated in Richmond for over 10 years".

                                      

Henrico Court filings show that Howard Vick used his influence to have the FBI remove Spanos from the National Crime Database and have the UFAP warrant dismissed by former McGuire-Woods partner James B. Comey, who was a Richmond U.S. Attorney at that time. The dismissed UFAP warrant allowed Spanos to renew his U.S. passport and remain off criminal databases despite having thirteen outstanding indictments against him.

Knowing that Spanos was a McGuire-Woods client, HCCA Howard Vick had sealed the thirteen indictments and refused to file an extradition request for Spanos. If Howard Vick had prosecuted Spanos, it would have ended his golden partnership with McGuire-Woods law firm.

The Complaints filed give evidence of present Henrico County Circuit Court officials who were also involved in protecting the cocaine fugitive from being arrested and extradited from foreign countries, despite the fugitive being held for extradition. Present Henrico County prosecutors refused to file extradition requests.

The Ethics Complaints list "fraud on the court" as one of the several ethics violations, which has no statute of limitation. The Complaints also list: 

§ 18.2-439. Acceptance of bribe by officer or candidate.

§ 18.2-447. When person guilty of bribery

§ 18.2-460. Obstructing justice; 

18 U.S. Code § 1071 - Concealing person from arrest

18, U.S. Code § 242 - Deprivation of Constitutional Rights

Governor Glenn Youngkin's Senior Legal Advisor McGuireWoods Richard Cullen has ties to White Nationalists

 Governor Youngkin's Legal Advisor Richard Cullen has pending Ethics Complaint for Promoting a White Nationalism Doctrine in Henrico Circuit Court

An October 6, 2021, Ethics Complaint filed in the Henrico County Circuit Court (CL21006572) against Richard Cullen and 8 Defendants for promoting and supporting a "White Nationalism Doctrine" which established a separate justice system to protect "white affluent middle to upper class professionals" from being prosecuted for violating § 18.2-248, a Class 5 felony possession with intent to distribute a schedule II substance (cocaine). 

See complaint at https://www.dropbox.com/White Nationalism

White Nationalism is the belief, theory, or doctrine that white people are inherently superior to people from all other racial and ethnic groups, and they need or deserve a preferential treatment, and special legal protections.

Several of the protected white affluent professionals were clients of McGuireWoods law firm that were under investigation for their part in a 600-kilo cocaine organization that operated in Richmond, Virginia for over 10 years.

The complaint alleges that Richard Cullen bribed Henrico Commonwealth Attorney Howard Vick not to extradite a fugitive from justice that had fled to Greece just before the Multijurisdictional Grand Jury had issued 13 indictments for distribution of 600-kilos of cocaine. 

Richard Cullen had advised Commonwealth Attorney Howard Vick to warn the fugitive that he would be indicted for distribution of cocaine allowing him to leave for Greece before the indictments and his arrest.

In exchange for Commonwealth Attorney Howard Vick's illegal actions, Richard Cullen gave Vick a golden partners position at McGuireWoods law firm heading the white collar crime division for 20 years.

The fugitive named as Nickolas Spanos would expose the estimated 40 white affluent professionals consisting of lawyers, doctors and businessmen, if he was extradited to Virginia from Greece and prosecuted for the 13 felony indictments for distribution of cocaine.

The complaint alleges that Richard Cullen and the 8 Defendants violated federal and state laws in order to protect the fugitive, which they falsified FBI reports so that federal UFAP warrants were dismissed, allowing the fugitive to renew his U.S. passport.

The allegations listed are:

• § 18.2-460. Obstructing justice
• § 1071 - Concealing person from arrest
• § 201 - Bribery of public officials and witnesses
• § 1001 - False Statements or entries generally
• § 1510 - Obstruction of criminal investigations
• § 18. 242 - Deprivation of Rights (Color of Law)
• § 18. 241 - Conspiracy against rights

Despite numerous FBI affidavits for extradition requests for the fugitive, Richard Cullen and the 8 Defendants refused to cooperate and obstructed justice to keep the fugitive protected from arrest.

Henrico Commonwealth Attorney Howard Vick under the instruction of Richard Cullen, refused to provide exculpatory evidence that would have negated the guilt of 3 men of color that were accused of distribution of cocaine related to the 600-kilo cocaine organization.

Out of 40 people investigated for the distribution of 600-kilos of cocaine, only 3 men of color were prosecuted and sentenced to prison. The estimated 30-40 white affluent professionals were protected from prosecution by Richard Cullen and the 8 Defendants listed in the complaint filed.

All the Henrico County Circuit Court judges have recused themselves from hearing the highly controversial case as Henrico County Circuit Court Judge Lee A. Harris Jr. is one of the Defendants listed in the white nationalism complaint.

Judge Lee A. Harris Jr. is the senior presiding judge in Henrico County Circuit Court and has been sitting on the bench for over 30 years. Judge Harris is accused of refusing to report exculpatory evidence that would have negated the guilt of 3 men of color that were accused of distribution of cocaine related to the 600-kilo cocaine organization.

Virginia's Justice System's Covid Threat is McGuireWoods Richard Cullen

 McGuireWoods Richard Cullen's Covid Shadow Government has Poisoned the Virginia Justice System

It's no secret that the McGuireWoods Richard Cullen has put a lead weight on the scales of justice in the Virginia Justice System. Over the past 30 years he has strategically placed his pawns in positions where Cullen could poison a fair trial to have a ruling made at his request.

We can say that McGuireWoods Richard Cullen is the Covid virus of Virginia's Justice System, it has spread throughout Virginia's Legislative Government, which they pass laws in favor of McGuireWoods Lobbyist.

The spread of Cullen's Covid has no cure or vaccine to protect anyone who opposes his shadow government or any lawyer who is opposing counsel against McGuireWoods Law firm, as all the judges have been paid for by Cullen. If you want to see Cullen's resume, a quick search on Google will give you an idea of how he tips the scales of justice. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Cullen_(attorney)

McGuireWoods Cullen protects Vice-Presidents, Governors, Soccer Federation Presidents, the ex-wife of professional golfer Tiger Woods and even drug cartels.

We will use the Fugitive Nickolas Spanos case as an example of how long McGuireWoods Cullen has protected an alleged cocaine dealer, accused of being the hub of a 600-kilo cocaine organization that distributed 600 kilos of cocaine, with a street value of over $30,000,000. in the sleepy city of Richmond, Virginia, in the 1990's. Spanos is guarded by the FBI, DOJ and INTERPOL, all within the claws of Richard Cullen.

Nickolas Spanos and his Family were clients of McGuireWoods, which has estate holdings in the tens of millions of dollars. Spanos was indicted by a grand jury in December 1998, before his indictments, Henrico CA Howard C. Vick instructed Spanos to leave for his safe haven in Greece, which Spanos followed Vick's instructions and left 5 days before the Multi-Jurisdictional Grand Jury. 

Between December 1998 through April 1999, 13 felony indictments were issued for Spanos, accusing him of distribution of cocaine, estimated at 600 kilos. An estimated 30 affluent white professionals, lawyers, physicians and businessmen gave their testimony to law enforcement authorities and prosecutors.

Between December 1998 through June 2000, HCA Howard Vick refused to file an extradition request for McGuireWoods long term client Spanos. In exchange for his betrayal of his sworn oath, Howard Vick was paid with a McGuireWoods golden partnership position heading the white-collar crime division of McGuireWoods.

Despite the United States and Greece having an extradition treaty since 1932, three generations of Henrico County Commonwealth Attorneys refused to file an extradition request for Spanos. 

James B. Comey, a former McGuireWoods Partner, was the RVA U.S. Attorney in 2001, which took Spanos off the international criminal database by voluntarily dismissing a Federal UFAP Warrant. McGuireWoods Cullen manipulated the FBI into making false statements stating that "the United States and Greece do not have an existing extradition treaty and Spanos cannot be extradited from Greece as he is a citizen of Greece..."

By having the Federal UFAP Warrant dismissed, Spanos was able to renew his U.S. passport in September 2006 by walking in the U.S. Embassy in Athens, Greece.

In February 2007, the FBI and Henrico Police reopened the Spanos case, after they were notified that Spanos had renewed his U.S. passport and was traveling through out Europe on yachts. The HPD and FBI reissued a Federal UFAP warrant on February 20, 2007.

The FBI pressured HCA Wade Kizer, a longtime friend of Howard Vick, to file an extradition request to Greece for Spanos

McGuireWoods Richard Cullen and Howard Vick stopped HCA Wade Kizer from filing an extradition request for Spanos and sealed Spanos's FBI file, so that no other FBI agent could reopen the Spanos case. The National Crime Information Center FBI report shows that all reporting activity stopped in 2007.

Spanos stayed off the radar until 2012, where by some fluke he was arrested by Philippine DOJ officials by a tip from the U.S. Embassy Manila FBI, that Spanos had an active Federal UFAP warrant from 2007. Spanos was held for extradition and HCA Shannon Taylor was notified to file an extradition request to the Philippines, as Spanos had no protection away from his safe haven of Greece. FBI officials fearing that corrupt Philippine DOJ officials might release him, monitored his case constantly, even visiting Spanos at the immigration detention center on a weekly basis.

The 13 felony indictments for distribution of 600 kilos of cocaine were unsealed on November 2, 2012 and the extradition request was prepared by Deputy HCA Michael Feinmel but never filed with the U.S. DOJ. McGuireWoods Richard Cullen and Howard Vick strongly instructed HCA Shannon Taylor to back off from extraditing Spanos to Henrico County and be prosecuted for the alleged distribution of 600 kilos of cocaine valued at $30,000,000.

McGuireWoods Richard Cullen used his power to stop U.S. Embassy Manila FBI officials from monitoring Spanos and informing Philippine DOJ officials to release Spanos and deport him back to his safe haven of Greece.

James Comey was appointed Director of the FBI in 2013, highly endorsed by McGuireWoods Richard Cullen, which placed Comey as a high-ranking pawn in Cullen's shadow government.

The Federal UFAP warrant was dismissed by HCA Shannon Taylor and RVA FBI officials in February 2019, allowing Spanos to renew his U.S. passport and taking him off any criminal database.

McGuireWoods Richard Cullen's son Thomas Cullen was recently appointed a Federal Judgeship for United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, giving Richard Cullen another high-ranking pawn in his shadow government.

McGuireWoods Cullen had positioned his brother-in-law Thomas F. Farrell, II to be named chairman, president and chief executive officer of Dominion Energy. This placed McGuireWoods law firm to represent all of Dominion Energy's legal representation.

As far as Spanos, Face Book photos show him living on various Greek islands on beautiful estates, enjoying his passion for yachting. It is unknown if Spanos ventures outside his safe haven of Greece but having the privilege's of dual citizenship and under the umbrella of protection by McGuireWoods Richard Cullen's shadow government. Spanos's case proves that crime does pay especially when $30,000,000 in cocaine sales buys you the FBI and other U.S. Government agencies.

Long Term Henrico Circuit Court Judge faces several Ethics and Criminal Violations.

Part 3 

Judge Lee Harris admitted in Court Filing that "he is not a lawyer"

In a November 3, 2021 response filing by Judge Lee. A. Harris Jr to an Ethics Complaint (CL21006572) filed in Henrico County Circuit Court, Judge Harris stated "Judge Harris is not an attorney, and thus, he is not subject to discipline under the Virginia State Bar Rules of Professional Conduct". See Ethics Complaint

Judge Harris is represented by the Attorney Generals Office by Assistant AG's Brittany McGill and Amy Hensley, in 2 separate Ethics Complaints filed against him.

Virginia Code states that a Judge is required to be an licensed attorney with the Virginia State Bar for a minimum of 5 years.

In a response to Judge Harris's pleading, the Plaintiff Nickolas Spanos gave evidence of numerous contradicting false statements by Judge Lee Harris. In a responsive pleading by Judge Harris he stated

“Because Spanos has never been served with the outstanding indictments… Plaintiff alleges that Judge Harris, in connection with the unserved indictments…”

Yet 6 months earlier, Judge Harris stated in his May 19, 2021 response pleading, “Spanos was served with the 13 indictments and the capias in Greece”.

Judge Harris's violations include:

• 18 U.S. Code § 1001 - Making false statements to a tribunal
• U.S. Code § 201 - Bribery of public officials and witnesses.
• Ex parte communications making prearranged biased decisions
• 18 U.S. Code § 1071 - Concealing person from arrest
• Violating Federal Code TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242 Deprivation of Rights.
• Acting outside his jurisdiction
• U.S. Code § 18.2-460. Obstructing justice
• Failing to report criminal violations to law enforcement authorities
• Failing to report to the Va. State Bar the unethical conduct of attorneys
• Failing to recuse himself from hearings that he has a conflict of interest

A Henrico Circuit Court Clerk stated in a November 19, 2018 email that Judge Harris ordered 5 HC Clerks to deny Spanos to his case file which is public record, which violated Spanos's Constitutional rights.

On December 4, 2018, Judge Lee A. Harris had illegal meetings with the Henrico Commonwealth Attorney (HCA), in which they made prearranged agreements to deny a December 3, 2018 Transportation Motion for the Fugitive. The HCA unethically filed the Plaintiff's motion without his knowledge or permission and only containing 1 page, missing the 2nd page and signature page. The HCA immediately had Judge Harris issue an order denying the Transportation Motion. 

On July 16, 2020, Judge Harris ruled on a Motion to Dismiss without having the subject motion in his files, which the HCA had illegally removed the Motion and its exhibits of evidence.

The Ethics Complaint filed against Judge Lee Harris and 8 other defendants has forced all the Henrico Circuit Court Judges to recuse themselves and have the Virginia Supreme Court appoint a Judge to hear the case.

The October 6, 2021 Ethics Complaint alleges that the 9 defendants promoted and supported a "white nationalism doctrine" which established a separate justice system which gave special treatment and protected white affluent middle to upper class professionals, lawyers, and doctors, from being investigated and charged with distribution of cocaine.
