Dallas' Al Sharpton Gets Caught
American Thinker ^ | June 3, 2012 | Lee Cary

Posted on 06/04/2012 5:07:22 AM PDT by kevcol

Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price got caught. He's been a fixture in Dallas politics for decades, quick to label others as racists in response to any slight offense he perceives. This just appeared on a Dallas Fox outlet. Price has long been Dallas' version of Al Sharpton.
.
.
And according to the documents, investigators seized $500,000 in cash from Price's home and monies made from the sale of land in southwest Dallas.
.
.
The documents said the FBI agents used electronic surveillance of bank records, emails, confidential informants, wire taps and undercover officers to gather evidence.

From last summer:
County commissioners were discussing problems with the central collections office that is used to process traffic ticket payments and handle other paperwork normally done by the JP Courts.

Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections “has become a black hole” because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.

Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud “Excuse me!” He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a “white hole.”

That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy.

Mayfield shot back that it was a figure of speech and a science term.


And then there was, John Wiley Price Tells Citizens To “Go To Hell”:
Six citizens addressed the court. All of them talked about the recent controversial departure of county Elections Administrator Bruce Sherbet. Sherbet, who was the Elections Administrator for 24 years, said he felt Price and Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins forced him out.

As Price stood to leave, he looked at Turner and the five other citizens who addressed the court. Price said to them, “All of you are white. Go to hell!”


His means of transportation:



LOL, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

For the sake of black holes and white holes throughout the universe, and on behalf of those responsible, I must appologize for the insensitive remarks and the emotional damage it may have caused.

Disgusting and sadly, not surprising.

If you can remember, ping me to the outcome. Given the racial politics & protection racket he’s built around ‘hisself’ - let’s just say I’ll save the full-blown celebration when this canker sore gets time in the greybar hotel where he has LONG BELONGED!

Very surprising that this should happen to a black pol; but then, remember how long it took to ring up "Cold Cash" Jefferson in New Orleans.

Wonder if he got on Barky and the Boys' wrong side, like Sheila Jackson Lee did for supporting Hildebeast?

Another Race Card Democrat success story.

“politics for decades”

Better late than never, I guess, but way, way late. This piece of human debris/scum needs a good, harsh dose of “street justice.”

Here are some details:

FBI Agent Says John Wiley Price Stole and Laundered a Lot of Money

The FBI dropped a bombshell in federal court today with an affidavit by Special Agent Donald Sherman as to why, exactly, law enforcement felt the need to seize more than $400,000 in cash (thick stacks of $100 bills) and other assets from Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price last year.

This comment from last summer after the reported initial raid PapaBear:

I have heard from Dallas friends that the investigation could be very prolonged, months to a year maybe

He’ll just get a slap on the wrist and still keep his job. Similar to Charlie Rangel D-NY.

I hope the courts throw the book at this moron. He’s a total embarrassment to the city of Dallas.

Thank you for the ping! I would love to see this crooked-*ss, overbearing prima donna go down in flames. I hope the FBI doesn’t blow this one. They’ve got to have a sound case because Price will go to trial. He’s bullet-proof, you know!
