When accused of corruption awhile back, Israel replied with his usual arrogance: Lions dont care about the opinions of sheep.
Before another tax dollar is handed over to this Sheriff, taxpayers need reassurances Israel has not been playing hanky-panky with their hard-earned tax dollars.
In 2013, Sheriff Israel entered a collaborative sanctuary agreement with other county officials and the Broward County school board to not arrest or prosecute juvenile delinquents in order to lower the stats of minorities incarcerated and meet federal quotas by which they received additional federal funding.
Tax dollars received under false pretenses need to be exposed. Taxpayers demand the Sheriffs Office books be audited at once. The Sheriff runs the largest fully accredited sheriffs office in the country, oversees nearly 6,000 employees, has an annual budget of $730 million tax dollars, and holds enormous political power.
The Bank Secrecy Act should be mobilizedto follow the paper trail and determine how money changed hands among (a) the Sheriffs Office (b) L/E projects, (c) and/or political activities.
Taxpayers demand that the scope and dimension of collusion in sub rosa deals be examined, as to who might be personally profiting and if financing domestic terrorism is being facilitated.
<><> L/E needs to examine bank accounts of the aforementioned.
<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer funds from one account to another, and/or wire-transferred offshore;
<><> To cover their tracks, fake invoices might be created to show that money deposited into Sheriffs Office accounts was being used for legitimate purposes.
<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for insiders personal use and/or for financing domestic terrorism.
Shady banking transactions could be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy ACT, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act.
<><> L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of Sheriffs Office checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) SPLC correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) other account books or official records.
L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.
<><> L/E should scrutinize bank accounts for suspicious activities: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.
<><> Sheriffs Office bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures;
Tax fraud may also be a factor, facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from legal bank accounts into personal accounts, or redistribution schemes.
<><> A huge tip-off is whether withdrawals support luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel....... and gifts and purchases from luxury outlets.
NOTE: Falsifying official govt documents is the criminal MO to hide larger crimes.
Why aren’t we locking up crazy people?
Hey Pam, cops lie. No surprise to me, funny that it is a surprise to you.
Broward county is a totally liberal democrat craphole.
And as we learned with General Flynn.
It’s illegal to lie to law enforcement.
Lock
Them
Up
We always quip that liberalism is a mental illness. Here is a case in point. The politicians were feathering their statistical nests by not arresting juveniles and got 17 people killed.
Truly... Scott Israel is sicker than you think. His three children just graduated from the same high school of the massacre. This was his familys school -they spent a lot of time there.
Israel has triplets: Brett, Blake and Blair. Brett was the junior starting quarterback for Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School, Blake was a midfielder for the lacrosse team and a safety on the football team and Blair was a sprinter on the track team before hurting her foot.
Rest assured, this leniency towards a threatening menacing student would not have been tolerated if the sheriff’s kids were still in attendance. Can you imagine? The BSO would have raced to save lives and stop the shooter, not stand idly by and spectate.
How would Sheriff Israel & the school have dealt with Nik Cruz if his daughter-Blair was the one being hit and threatened by Cruz?
Certainly he would have been expelled and locked up if he threw a chair at her or tried to sell the sheriffs son some knives at lunch time. You betcha!
Like feds, the locals think the practice of deception, lying, and deceit is just part of their perks.
Bondi replied, I cant talk about that.
Translation: Yes there was.
(Just in case Captain Obvious hasn't shown up yet; haven't read the whole thread.)
“I can’t talk about that.” Pretty much sums it up...
“......a bunch of lying, cowardly, incompetent people down there in Broward County.”.
Thus the need for a full investigation. The outcome is based solely on WHO does the investigating.
When the sheets are pulled off Sheriff Israel will be finally be forced to accept responsibility and I predict will be forced to resign. Even with our current facts, the man is inept and failed to protect the community over the many months they have had opportunities.
I hope AG Pam Bondi does what she says she is going to do but regardless of what she does, this needs looking into by the DOJ.
