"Thank you for calling the FBI, now get lost"
Today, I called the FBI office in Detroit, relevant to their investigation of the Detroit judge receiving bribes. Deadline Detroit | Detroit News: FBI Investigating Detroit Judge Andrea Bradley-Baskin I was transferred to the FBI tip line. This rather shocking event then transpired--
I was asked by the Tip Line officer to recount why I was calling. When I tried to give her some brief input as to who I was and how I came upon this information, she cut me off, stating that she did not care about this. This is relevant because within a few minutes, she was asking how I came across the information.
Understanding that I was dealing with someone with zero patience I tried to quickly summarize my concerns--that judges receiving bribes are the norm, not the exception and how the mortgage scam functions as a vehicle for these bribes. I have rather heavily covered these judicial actions for the former ActivistPost.com, the San Bernardino County Sentinel Judges and Mortgage Loans and elsewhere
She then became confrontational and asked me who was receiving bribes in this manner. I was able to squeeze out two names, a federal judge and a Cook County judge, when she told me that she did not want any names and hung up the call.
In case you are skimming this article and do not quite realize the implications of what the Tip Line agent did, let me make this clear to you. Law enforcement cut me off while giving her the names of the criminals and said she did not wish to know of this.
I have also reached out to the US attorneys named in the Detroit News article, specifically to Eaton Brown and to anti-corruption Chief John Neal, leaving them both voice messages about this case and asking for a return call. We shall see if they respond.
