On June 24, 2014, former city employee, Jason Hunter, and Attorney Letitia Pepper spoke before the Riverside County Board of Supervisors meeting to warn them about their new County Counsel, Gregory Priamos. With all that the Riverside County Grand Jury and City of Riverside Internal Auditor has uncovered as of late, it appears they could not have been more spot on in their prognostications of doom and gloom.
At the time, Priamos was moving only a couple of blocks down the street. He was resigning his post as city of Riverside, City Attorney, and to those who follow the rumor mill of City politics, he left under a cloud of suspicion. The skeletons he hid in his closet during his time as City Attorney were beginning to rise from their graves. In fact, he had just committed a mortal sin in the city of Riverside: playing a part in embarrassing his bosses on the City Council via sham investigations into 2 sitting City Councilmen.
Advice for our new City Attorney, Gary Geuss … you can misappropriate public money, give terrible legal advice which creates liability for the taxpayers, violate employees’ and private citizens’ civil rights, break State Sunshine Statutes routinely, heck you can hire your friends without contracts, BUT YOU BETTER NEVER EMBARRASS the City Council! They do a good enough job of that themselves we figure. So, “Exit Stage Left!” our Snagglepuss Attorney went.
The list of offenses that would soon reach the light of day seems neverending. There were quasi-judicial hearing protocols he created, whereby he would not only serve as counsel for the adjudicating bodies, but also for the plaintiff/defendant, whomever the City wanted to “win”. It was such an obvious conflict of interest, and his job in this two-part role was to manipulate the proceeding to receive a favorable outcomes for his allies. We now have active citizen reviews of the Community Police Review Commission, Human Resources Board, and Ethic Committee rules because of the uproar from the community.
For years, some active community members such as Kevin Dawson have been appearing before the Council vocalizing the City’s practice of hiring outside counsel without ANY contracts. Dawson even accused Priamos of hiring attorneys for Councilmen using public funds for private purposes. The City Attorney’s Office was stand-offish and the Council was hands-offish whenever these allegations would come forth. Now it appears this really was an issue, in fact a rather large one to the tune of over $19 million in taxpayer monies.
There was Attorney Letitia Pepper, arrested at a Council meeting for “clapping.” She settled her First Amendment case against the City of Riverside for $50,000 after the City ran up $200,000 in legal fees. All Pepper wanted from the City was an apology. Too proud to admit mistakes, Mayor Bailey, City Attorney Priamos, and Chief Diaz would rather the taxpayer fork over a quarter million dollars. If it had been their own moola, we bet the outcome would’ve been different.
Currently, we see a battle involving County Counsel and the ‘Supes attempting to show the Grand Jury (aka, the public) their place in the new world order where the municipal mob runs the show. The Grand Jury recently revealed their findings, and made no secret regarding the inappropriate behavior of County Counsel Priamos and his interference with the Grand Jury’s investigative process. Same old Greg.

CALIFORNIA STATE BAR DROPS COMPLAINT AGAINST PRIAMOS: What we found insulting is the State Bar’s attempt at deflection of the issues at hand because they don’t believe we (the complainant and a taxpayer) qualify as a client. So who’s the client? We didn’t expect to receive any support from this agency, as a result of their obligations and loyalty to their colleague. These are the conflicts-of-interests the general public must overcome in order to effectuate change and safeguard our interests from unscrupulous characters.
READ COMPLETE LETTER BY CLICKING THIS LINK
The letter states that based on the evaluation of the information provided, they are closing the complaint against Priamos. They conclude, based on the laws of California, the allegations against Priamos, if proved, would not be grounds for disciplinary action. Further, the evaluator, Alex Hackert, refers to rule 3-110 to inform us that that we not the client of Mr. Priamos and therefore they simply cannot go any further to investigate our complaint.
Alex Hackert, Deputy Trial Counsel, State Board of California
In fact, “Investigating this issue would interfere with the attorney-client confidentiality between Mr. Priamos and his current and former clients.” I guess we should assume the County ‘Supes are paying Priamos from their own pockets… Well, we did check into rule 3-110, and guess what? It states nothing about “attorney-client relationships.” More charades of deception.

We find the State Bar is really nothing more than a mill of formality, giving the appearance that they are protecting the public. Our belief is that unless an attorney in question is charged with something criminal in the courts, they will not act on anything. Like as in this case, they will default always and everywhere towards protecting their colleagues. Lawyers in the State of California are a powerful lobbying group, and make no mistake: they take care of their own.

TMC: Thirty Miles of Corruption 
Reblogged this on TMC: Thirty Miles of Corruption.
First the Bar Association is made up of lawyers who look into other lawyers when complaints are filed. The system of our courts are with lawyers that become Judges. Now it is hard to get lawyers to punish or remove lawyers. Few follow the law they studied but get a license to make money. As the system uses words to find loop holes and when you see few lawyers are punished or disbarred. Even a complaint is see to need beyond a reasonable doubt when the facts are clear but it is in favor of a lawyer. Yes move then enough facts to prove the corruption of Priamos but the State, BAR are to connected. Now you is needed a legal advise on a federal crime or one that could be investigated by the FBI. Now actions done could be a violation under federal with federal dollars used which would give grounds. Then actions that call for FBI investigation which is our to the control or review of any State office. Focus on money because Priamos does deal with the city contracts and funding. Then you need information from inside to continue to get facts. The one person who could help is the lawyer who was fired and won a settlement. Then others who left the department. Our system does have agencies that are federal that can file. Now think of it this way. We have the case of Paul Zellerbach who was a lawyer, Judge and Prosecutor. Many knew of issues he did wrong or what we call paid decisions but he moved on as Prosecutor. Now his rain of corruption as Prosecutor was seen and even evidence of a crime but notice how the system is not pushing for punishment it is put away and hope people forget all about it.. Keep in mine Judges, Prosecutors and lawyers protect each other just like police protect each other.
Thanks Airjackie! When you view the charges that our DA Zellerbach was charged by the State Attorneys Office…nothing happened! Would we even have an inkling that the State of California Bar would be any different? Of course not! Charges that Zellerbach came under with evident repercussions or even a expression of distaste by the the State Bar! Of course this reflects upon the State Bar, and you see their true rainbow colors of corruption and hypocrisy to issues. Here lies what Riverside DA Paul Zellerbach was assumed to be charged with..without satisfaction to the taxpayer:
· Vandalism Under $400 (594(2)(a) California Penal Code)
· Trespassing to Place Unauthorized Signs (602(f) California Penal Code)
· Trespassing with Intent to Cause Damage (602(k) California Penal Code)
· Embezzlement (504 California Penal Code)
· Theft of Public Funds (424(a)(1) California Penal Code)
Regarding Priamos, the issue we are looking into is one of wire fraud.
for readers who can not wait to hear what Federal wire fraud is read this Statue 941. 18 U.S.C. 1343—Elements of Wire Fraud. now to Zellerbach the you have to follow the money and if it is Federal money used then there is your federal charge but with that you can get the FBI involved. People have to remember the connection all prosecutors, Judges and Bar Association are lawyers and kinda like the blue wall of silence we hear about.
