The Freep`s attorney Herschel Fink raised a very interesting point on KK`s choice of attorney. Perhaps the Kilpatrick dynasty is in more trouble than we could ever imagine.

It seems to me that more than trying to target specific individuals, the politicized US Attorney's office and FBI are working to bring chaos and confusion to Detroit City Government generally. In a time of economic crisis there will be those in national government who want to prop up the failing economy on the backs of poor and working people. As a city with a strong tradition of a political elite which works on behalf the people, however flawed they might be, Detroit could become a center of resistance to economic austerity measures imposed by a conservative government.

Take out the Mayor, take out the city council, or leave them in place at each other's throats - but in any event, destroy the ability of Detroit to speak politically with a united voice at this critical moment. This is the agernda, as I see it.

Those old enough to remember COINTELPRO will know what I'm talking about. Others may find it enlightening to Google the term.

In solidarity,
-Steve

I`m sorry, I don`t think the Feds made Kwame unzip his pants repeatedly on the public dime, text thousands of time about it on the public dime on public communication devices, sign a paper making all communications public info and then lie about it in court. And they did not make anyone in the sludge case do whatever they did. Are you sure you aren`t Sharon McPhail? She was ranting about political motives just this past week. :O) Kwame and Co. have taken away Detroits ability to speak all on their own.

I WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON FANCHON STINGERS INVOLVEMENT IN THIS. I READ AN ARTICLE BY DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL. APPARENTLY, FOX 2, HAS KNOWN FOR QUITE SOME TIME ABOUT MS. STINGERS PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH RAY JACKSON AND BUINESS WITH SYNAGRO.
SHAME ON FOX 2 FOR ALLOWING HER TO REPORT ON A SITUATION AND INVESTIGATION, IN WHICH SHE IS INVOLVED, UP TO HER EYEBROWS.

I like Sam Riddle and I believe him. I don't think he had anything to do with it. I would like to know why when he said he would only keep Kwame Kenyatta and JoAnn Watson. What about Ken Cockrel Jr.?

Didn't you listen Huel Kwame warned everbody not to mention him........LOL

I THINK SAM RIDDLE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST THEIVES IN THE CITY. He worked for Monica Conyers up until the time all this stuff came out!

Where was all of this concern when he was taking trips on Detroit’s dime. Didn't hear a peep from his sorry azz then. Sam Riddle is nothing more than a RAT trying to swim away from a sinking ship.

I agree SEEDUB. Didn`t Sam Riddle just go an expense paid out of town meeting with Monica Conyers, as her political advisor? Looks like she got bad advice!!! LOL LOL LOL.

I`m surprised Monica doesn`t have a frig with a freezer or an ice maker. Sam said she isn`t in hiding, but rather recovering from a procedure where she needs to ice down and he has visited her with ice. LOL

I totally agree Sam Riddle is one of the biggest crooks in the city of Detroit. From my experience those who points the finger the most are the ones with the most to hide. That is Sam Riddle all the way. Huel, Sam may be a friend of yours but you need to keep him at 2 arms + 2 Leg lengths away from you. I believe the entire City council needs to go Joann Watson + KWame Kenyatta included.

Run Charles Pugh Run!!!!!!!!!

I know we are a democracy but.......celebrities should stick to what they know. We need experienced people on Council not media stars. ( hey Martha ya listening too? )The BLEEP is too deep for novices to be elected and spend the majority of their time learning the ropes.

Maybe Sam is akin to Johhny Depp's character in "Pirates" or maybe just maybe Sam is one of those guys that is simply on a battlefield and ultimately he is on the side of the good folk despite having run with those on the wild side - who knows? It is much more interesting with Sam's no holds barred commentary.

Sam was monica conyers left arm, and now he's saying she's an embarrsssment, he's full of s.h.i.t, the FBI tapped his phone and checked that bank account, and the business London trip that monica had to attend yeah right overseas accounts, the FBI don't pick people they go after leads, Sam knows it with his gate mouth.

If you are out of state or if you listen to some other radio station that has the Detroit name in it yet geared to Non-Detroiters or "Former Detroiters" I would suggest you to tune your radio to 97.9 if your in the detroit area and if not go to FM98WJLB.com and listen to the Coco,Foolish,& Mr. Chase in the morning then tell me that Charles Pugh is not qualified to run and become a Detroit city council rep.I agree Martha "Dancin in the Streets" Reeves should not have been elected to the seat. But believe me Charles is who I put my Money on and behind to help the city of Detroit. So I say- Run Charles Pugh Run!!!!!!

Romallory,

Fanchion Stinger is on paid leave. apparently she has been dating Jackson. The problem solvers have been investigating him for some time. Fanchion is involved in the whole city "sludge" mess. Yet Fox 2 let her sit there and report on her very own business and married boyfriend. What took them so long?
