Democrat Deputy Attorney General Arrested on Child Pornography Charges

A Democrat deputy attorney general was arrested last week at his Coronado, CA home and charged with possessing child pornography in San Diego federal court.

According to the LA Times, Raymond Joseph Liddy, 53, was arrested last Tuesday and pleaded not guilty. He was released on $100,000 bond and placed on house arrest with a GPS monitor, court documents show.

Liddy is the son of G. Gordon Liddy, a disbarred lawyer, former FBI agent and co-conspirator in the Nixon administration’s burglary of the Democratic National Committee known as the Watergate scandal. He served four and a half years of an eight year commuted sentence for conspiracy, wiretapping, and burglary.

An investigation was opened into Liddy’s lewd behavior when a wireless provider sent a tip to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in January, alerting the group that he had uploaded an image that appeared to be child pornography. Another similar tip was sent a month later, when Liddy uploaded ten more such images.

The criminal complaint alleges that the tips were forwarded to the San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children, and the FBI paid a visit to Liddy’s house. During the FBI’s visit, Liddy admitted to using the service provider that sent the tips.

“Investigators then served a search warrant on his home and found numerous photographs on a computer and thumbdrive of minors engaged in sexual conduct, the complaint states, according to the LA Times. “One image was of a nude girl blindfolded with her hands bound together, the document says.”

He claimed that he would often use the images and then delete them, and that he thought most of the images were of adults, but that some might have been children.

Liddy has been a white-collar crime prosecutor for a decade, and he graduated from Fordham University School of Law. He also has a masters degree in strategic studies from the U.S. Army War College in Pennsylvania.

The attorney general’s office is “aware of the matter” and Liddy has been placed on administrative leave.

It was in his now boss's then congressional office that the congressional server marked as evidence was stolen and swapped for a look-alike. Maybe the media would take notice if their California AG is charged with crimes dating from his time in Congress. Which in a reasonably paced and prioritized investigation would have happened over a year ago.

Ooooo.... Interesting theory. Then there is this: https://thefreethoughtproject.com/nyc-dnc-staffer-arrested-child-porn/

And this: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/28/nyregion/columbia-student-university-child-porn.html

Somehow, the NYSlimes missed the fact that Davis is a former Hillary campaign official. I’m shocked.

Frankly, this should be a capital crime as a warning to others who traffic in this stuff.

You exploit children you die.

Wow, Ray Liddy was one of the best Lt’s in 1/6 back in 1999. He was injured badly in Panama when a Artillery Simulator exploded and burned his face and hands. Although he came with a famous name; he was the most down-to-earth guy you ever met. I surly would have trusted this man with my life back then.

I just can’t believe this could be the same man; but it is!

Should everyone who views news articles about Abercrombie and Fitch face a death penalty?

https://pilotonline.com/news/local/article_02112c17-3d3d-5870-8fa2-313d65fa76d9.html

My point here is that not all of the images law enforcement considers to be illegal child porn are actually illegal child porn. Some of it is advertising that you can see on numerous websites.

Bear in mind that “downloading” for law enforcement means you simply viewed the images and “storing” those images means they’re in your Thumbnail file.

https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+find+the+thumbnail+file+windows&oq=how+to+find+the+thumbnail+file+windows&aqs=chrome..69i57.17647j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

If you do not regularly purge these files then you are putting yourself at risk in case law enforcement decides to come after you. It’s just one more thing they can use against you when they decide that they hate you for supporting President Trump.

This guy isn’t some middling stooge.

He’s a Deputy Attorney General.

Wonder what cases he was working on?

This is just the latest indictment unsealed.
