Will Esquivel and Walz sit in judgment on Pat Rogers?

In an emailgate spinoff, we find Attorney Pat Rogers' membership on the Board of Directors of the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government, being questioned.

Some find his membership on the Board difficult to explain, in light of his involvement in emailgate; the diametric opposite of open government.

Who will decide the propriety of Rogers continued presence? Will the entire Board participate, or will a few FOG heavy hitters take care of business behind closed doors? Either way, Marty Esquivel and Kent Walz are likely invites.

If the FOG Board were really committed to open government, Esquivel and Walz would be sitting beside Rogers, not across from him.

Esquivel and Walz are covering up an ethics and accountability scandal in the leadership of the APS. They are covering up, the cover up of felony criminal misconduct by APS senior administrators, link, including hiding evidence from the DA. The APS Police Force investigated its own public corruption and is holding the evidence still, even as statutes of limitation expire.

Esquivel's real commitment to open government is manifest in my arrest at a public forum, link, for asking inconvenient questions about the public interests and about his public service. It is further manifest in an unlawful restraining order, link, that his Praetorian Guard uses to deny my free exercise of constitutionally protected human rights to freely assemble, freely speak, and freely petition my government.

Walz' real commitment to open government is manifest in the Journal's failure to investigate
and report upon credible
evidence of an ongoing ethics and accountability scandal in the leadership of the APS.

Neither of them is suitable to judge Rogers.

Neither of them is suitable even to sit on the Board of Directors of the FOG, for the same reasons Pat Rogers is unsuited.

In light of their own ongoing scandal, if either the them sits in judgment of Pat Rogers, the judgment is a sham.
