Kilpatrick can't afford lawyer for appeal

[Gannon]

There is a certain deep irony to Kwhyme losing his last hope of representation to a church...even if it is Reverend Charles Ellis' teevee ministry out of the Greater Grace Temple.

That IS the guy, right?


If I remember correctly, he is one of the five or six large-church pastors who earned a spot on the short list of further investigation at some point in my past analysis of the whole situation.


Funny thing, it is now impossible to find a particular reference to another of those questionable pastors, Wendell Anthony. I went looking for his wife's father...a few years ago when I researched it, there was clear reference to her being the daughter of one of his best friends.

Now? Zilch.


Makes my conspiracy antennae leap to attention...but Anthony was most certainly on the short list of tainted pastors due his involvement out at the Thug [[McNamara) Terminal out at Metro Airport...where he was given access to own and run a few of those extraordinarily profitable businesses.


That seemed a nice way to pass some of the corruption around, and the Detroit News had an old article that proved McNamara sought out these large church pastors through the access 'granted' through the Cheeks/Kilpatrick clan. The deals were the focus of the article...but their on-line archives don't go that far back any longer.

Must go to the library...again. Sigh.



But yeah, Kwhyme losing his last attorney to one of them is most certainly curious...and possibly telling.

It could be the way the McNamara/Cheeks/Kilpatrick regime is actually PAYING the guy for the work he did trying to keep Kwhyme's considerable ass out of the slammer.


I'd love to see the records of the land purchases where those large churches were built during the Kwamster's reign...I'd bet there is some curious ties to County and City properties being favorably sold or nearly given to these groups in exchange for loyalty until the end.

There are all sorts of articles that in retrospect are completely damning...back before all this excrement hit the fan. I'd say a decent reviewing of all the endorsements during elections over the past thirty or forty years might lead to some fun six-degrees game playing, too.


Cheers, thanks for playing along.
