Gifts for the campaigns of Kay Bailey Hutchison and Barbara Radnofsky

This is not intended to be an endorsement of Ms Radnofsky for Texas Attorney General. It's just that I am against Attorney General Gregg Abbott because he told me he would accept my criminal evidence against persons in several state agencies: the Texas Medical Board, the Texas Board of Nursing, the Texas Department of Public Safety,and now he refuses to honor his word.

Open letter to Taylor Cooper, who works for Barbara Radnofsky's campaign for Texas Attorney General (challenging Gregg Abbott)

Dear Mr. Cooper,

I founded Texas Medical Board Watch to expose corruption at the TMB. I have evidence of malfeasance at several Texas agencies about which I have spoken to you before. Texas Attorney General Gregg Abbott refuses to take my evidence.

On Feb 6, 2009, I was allowed to testify to the whole medical board at its regular meeting. My surprise 10 minute testimony listed half a dozen specific (causing US mail to be destroyed, other examples) and general ("abuse of power", etc.) criminal actions of TMB Executive Director Mari Robinson of which I was personally aware or could provide affidavit testimony. About two weeks later, I received notice that the medical board intended to suspend my medical license in an upcoming hearing. With no new complaint or evidence and no complaint or evidence ever regarding the quality of my medical care, my license was fraudulently suspended on March 24, 2009, on an emergency basis, a month later.

A slanderous press release from the TMB was published in my hometown newspaper, the Victoria Advocate, the following day.

The simplest, most direct evidence I have of agency malfeasance of which both the current attorney general and Governor Perry are aware, is an order/affidavit demonstrating inaction (aiding and abetting public corruption) of the Board of Nursing and the Texas Department of Public Safety in the case of a nurse practitioner who works for a former TMB member, Keith E Miller MD, in Shelby County, Texas. See attachment #1.

Texas licensed nurse, Bridget Yvette Hughes admits to over 50 forged narcotic prescriptions and is not disciplined or arrested.

Bridget Yvette Hughes non-disciplinary order with the Texas Board of Nursing

Nurse Bridget Hughes admits to the forgery of over 50 prescriptions of Schedule II Controlled Substances. Hughes was never arrested by DPS (or anyone else) and not disciplined by the BON at the time.

On the other hand, Hughes, self-prescribed antibiotics this year and received a public disciplinary order. See attachment #2. The forgery of narcotics prescriptions is a much more serious offense than the act of self-prescribing antibiotics.

Briget Hughes disciplined for self prescribing antibiotics.

During the time in question (while she was being investigated for the first crimes), Hughes worked for Dr. Miller, her supervising physician. He continues to supervise her to this day. The BON order #2 assigns Dr. Miller to continue to monitor her nursing activities, after he has proven himself, multiple times, not to be adequate for the job. Dr. Miller appears to be aiding and abetting the felonies of Bridget Hughes.

The third attachment is a letter to me from Kent Mawyer, Chief of Criminal Law Enforcement, for Colonel Thomas Davis, former executive director of the Texas Department of Public Safety. He copies it to the medical, nursing, and pharmacy boards. My interpretation of the letter is that DPS does not plan further investigation of alleged criminal actions of Hughes and/or her boss, Dr. Miller for aiding and abetting.

Based on attachments #4 and #5, showing over 80 times where Dr. Miller has testified, in eight states, as a plaintiff's expert, I have written that he is a "court whore". The term is used by doctors to describe other doctors who will say whatever they are paid to say in a court of law under oath. My organization, Texas Medical Board Watch, gave him the "Red Devil Award", two years in a row. Miller is spending a lot of time and money suing me for slander. He will lose, because the truth is an affirmative defense against allegations of slander, as you know.

Expert Testimony - Keith E Miller MD, Updated

The Wharton County District Attorney, Republican Josh McCown, has prosecuted me fraudulently for three very serious felonies which were alleged to have occurred Sept 29, 2007. There is circumstantial evidence that the involved DPS officers staged the scene. A Wharton County jury found me guilty of two first degree felonies, but acquitted me of the third. Sentencing is still pending for Jan 25, 2010, two years and three months after the precipitating events; the case will be appealed at that time.

In preparation for my criminal case, I and two other witnesses saw an email exchange between Nurse Bridget Hughes and DPS Captain Patrick Mulligan in Joshie's evidence file. The two should never have heard of each other and their communications imply (!) collusion. Captain Mulligan forwarded the email to the judge's administrator, Cassie Ritter, who forwarded it to the DA. I do not believe that the judge knew of the circulation of these emails or that his office was assisting the DA in an ex parte collection of evidence.

At a time during preparation for trial, when I was pro se, I filed and was granted a motion to cause the DA to produce what I believed to be exculpatory evidence. The DA failed to produce it, in violation of a direct court order. My motion to hold him in contempt of court was denied.

Attachments #1 and #2 are public information. Number 3 is a personal letter to me from DPS. Attachments #4 and #5 are obtained from a service which tracks expert testimony. I believe my evidence, in these documents, will prove to be indisputable confirmation of corruption in Attorney General Abbott's office, Governor Perry's office, the Texas Medical Board, Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Texas Board of Nursing. All your campaign needs to do is to prove that our Texas Attorney General refuses to acknowledge it, and once you prove they are aware of the information I have provided, if they continue to do nothing, perhaps you can assist me in getting them indicted for "misprision of felonies", a felony.

Could we seek an Attorney General's OPINION in these matters?

An interesting aside is that Keith E Miller MD has testified under oath that criminal charges are pending against me in Shelby County, Texas. He expects the DA, Lynda K Russell, his patient, to prosecute me. She is alleged to have been running the asset forfeiture scam by Tenaha police which has made the national news:

The ACLU wants the Texas Attorney General to keep her from using money to defend herself against a class action lawsuit alleging her to be behind these illegal seizures.
