A View from the Cheap Seats

Commonwealth v. Tate: Supporting Documents


| Comments (2)
|

Mark Tate's court filing of this week was voluminous, to say the least.

From the story:

Among the bigger bombs dropped in the filings are:
• The allegation that Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Plowman obtained Tate’s bank records under false pretenses.
Plowman allegedly told the judge who issued the subpoena for the records that the State Board of Elections “shared his concerns that the a crime had been committed,” MacMahon wrote.
“This claim is simply untrue,” he wrote, referring to a letter from the State Board of Elections to Laurie Letourneau, the Winchester-area resident and Holtzman Vogel campaign volunteer whose complaint to Plowman and the SBE triggered the investigation.
• Subpoena requests for Sen. Jill Holtzman Vogel, R-Upperville, Plowman and Warrenton Town Attorney Whitson Robinson.
MacMahon and Tate want to flesh out what they say is a series of connections between the prosecution, Vogel and her associates.
The defense wants all three to produce, among other things, e-mails or other communications in which they may have discussed Tate and his prosecution.
A number of people, including officials at the Republican Party of Virginia, seem to have had knowledge of the indictment that they shouldn’t have had access to.

There was far more in the filings than could ever be packed into one story, so we're posting the filings here for our readers to peruse at their leisure.

As someone who put this aside and voted for Jill Vogel anyway, she owes us an explnation why her supporters were spreading this gossip (and grand jury investigation information) all over the Internet and other places.

Whit Robinson, Shaun Kenney, Ed Gillespie, VCAP, Jim Plowman, James Fisher, Laurie Letourneau and JILL VOGEL.

I can no longer still believe our new senator didn't have anything to do with this. Shameful.

All I can say is "Thank God" "Tate" didn't get elected.
It's Clear that this man can't handle his own personal finances "house foreclosure action" taken against him by his lender and failure to release financial reports to the election commitee in a timly manner.
If you can't manage your own business affairs than why should you be trusted to manage others?
This elected position requires management of important State Affairs that effect us all, and is certainly a much harder job than owning/managing a resturant in Wealthy Middleburg Va.
