I am inclined to believe that CJ has never spoken to John Morgan, but the lack of direct communication does not mean that there is *no* communication.
James McGibney and his camp followers have been talking in public and acting as if there is some sort of conspiracy involving me, Jeff Dorrell, and several others, all working in consort with or under the direction of Tom Retzlaff. I have never met Tom in person, spoken with him on the phone, exchanged email, or had any sort of electronic chat with him. There is no way to rephrase the question so as to get an affirmative answer out of me and there is no admissible evidence, as none exists.
What does exist is the ViaView Files blog. I comment there openly, because being the Rauhauser in Rauhauser v. McGibney permits me to shut down the nonsense trolls try to launch from the comments section. Dean often receives information from “Some random person we’ve never heard of …”, and whomever that is, he or she certainly has some insight into what Retzlaff is thinking and doing.
If you read the Hunter Moore indictment you would know that a conspiracy charge requires OVERT ACTS. HM emails CE, suggests criminal act X, CE goes and does it, reports back to HM, receives payment Y for service rendered. If you were paying attention to ViaView Files last week you’d know that Dean slipped and outed the operators as Hunter Moore partisans. Moore didn’t take a plea deal, and I assume this loyalty has inspired his associates to conduct a public discussion regarding James McGibney.
There is a public discussion regarding Rauhauser v. McGibney at ViaView Files. I read it and contribute directly. Tom must be reading it as well, given that he sends news tips to the operators. No direct communication, let alone any OVERT ACTS, but the public chatter serves to inform the actions of others. And before the inevtiable whining strarts, McGibney wanted to make a public spectacle, and now he’s got one.
There are at least one set of hands between CJ and John Morgan, perhaps even two sets, and this is how things make it from Allen to Beaumont. Perhaps that set of hands is Traci Glass, or maybe it’s the guy with the beard who shadowed Rob Holmes as cover for his own activities. Maybe that mystery will be solved, maybe it won’t, but as Rauhauser v. McGibney enters the post-judgment clean up phase, it’s the most interesting loose end.
