Today's H-S Editorial Meeting.
I also filed a complaint with the Attorney General about Nifong's use of public resources to conduct his investigations of emailers.
It's illegal of course.
* * *
Taking a page from the Bob Ashley playbook, Mike Nifong and his wife have apparently been conducting background investigations of anyone who sends Mr. Nifong email that is critical of his job performance.
It is of course a replay for Nifong when he investigated all of the signers of the Check petition several months ago.
Only problem is that Mr Nifong and his wife Cy Gurney, also a state employee, have apparently been using state resources, databases, computers and time on the job to assemble their enemies list.
At least when Bob Ashley does his google searches, he is just a non-government weasel doing the bidding of the town's elite.
The Nifong's illegal behavior follows close on Mayor Bill Bell's use of cease-and-desist letters from his lawyers in an attempt to quash criticism of his real estate double-dealing.
We are now seeing the ossified Durham elites cracking under the strain of public scrutiny.
It is clear that the Durham power structure (and the Herald-Sun) had hoped to use race-baiting and class envy in the Duke case to gain political cover for their corrupt and incompetent leadership
That has failed.
And as the dump burns and murderers roam the streets, Bill Bell, Patrick Baker, Mike Nifong and the city council have been revealed for what they are.
Petty, corrupt, and incompetant tyrants who abuse their public offices for their own self-preservation.

That squares with KC Johnson's account--

Yesterday, a New Jersey retiree sent Nifong an email saying that he was considering moving to Durham so he could vote for the Recall Nifong-Vote Cheek option. The writer didn't say where he was from. Nifong responded,
"Gee, Bill. Does this mean you are moving down here from NJ just to vote against me? I am flattered. Bad news, though. You'll be stuck with me at least until the end of December."
The emailer sent me a copy of the email to confirm its legitimacy. [end excerpt]
In the replies, KC also said...
"The Nifong email was sent at 12.49pm on 9-19."
Ouch! That's quite a post.
Wow. An enemies list? Nifong is beginning to sound like Richard Nixon. But unfortunately he'll never resign.
Great! Nifong is investigating those critical of him.
The man can't stop himself.
How desperate is it to get a sworn statement from one's wife?
You gotta be kidding me.
