Maintaining a Falsity does not make it a Truth, Even If Your First Name is Judge

Friends

The Harris County Criminal Court Judges continue to perpetuate the falsity in federal court that they did not dictate the systematic denial of PR bonds. The Magistrates make it clear, and history reflects that the Harris County Criminal Court Judges absolutely dictated the systematic denial of PR Bonds on misdemeanor cases .

Shame on the Harris County Criminal Court judges who maintain this falsity. One might think, perhaps naively, that judges sworn to uphold the law would not promote a false story in Federal District Court.

The truth will come out. It would be better for ALL concerned if the truth came directly from the 15 Harris County Criminal Courts who know it!
