Esparza Lies to Eastside Voters

We all know one. We all know a person who can look you straight in the eye and lie. And when we say, "hey that's a lie," this person then lies some more. Last night there was a candidate's forum hosted by the East Side Civic Association. There were about 100 people in attendance, half of them being the candidates and their families and supporters. The candidates got a two minute introduction, then five minutes of questions and then a one minute closing statement. I spoke about the FBI corruption probe and how Esparza had failed to prosecute corruption in his 16 long years as DA. I also pointed out how he uses his power to do his friends favors and refuses to prosecute them when they get arrested. I used the example of how Esparza refused to prosecute his friend and former mayor Joe Wardy when Wardy got caught with a loaded gun at the airport. I told the audience that Esparza told the public he couldn't prosecute Wardy because it was "a federal case" because it was at the airport. This of course is a lie. I then juxtaposed the Wardy case with Rachel Quintana's case who Esparza had arrested for a crime allegedly committed, where, AT THE AIRPORT. So which one is it? Rachel Quintana also was in the audience last night.

Esparza's turn was next. Here a few of the bald-faced lies he told the audience:

1-"The Federal Courts ruled that DIMS is constitutional."

The truth is that the Federal Courts ruled that they were not going to rule on the constitutionality of DIMS. The Courts said that the issue had not been properly raised before them and they were therefore going to remain silent on the question.

2-"There are separate investigations and I am helping and working with the Federal government on the Federal investigations."

The truth is Esparza has nothing to do with the federal investigations. Now that it is obvious that he has done nothing but let corruption flourish, he is trying to make it sound like behind the scenes he is working on it.

3-"I am a state prosecutor and no one ever reported corruption to me."

The truth is that several people I am personally aware of reported corruption to Esparza and he had them jailed, i.e. George DeAngelis, second in command at the PD reported that there may be possible drug cartel infiltration at the police department and Nancy Hollebeke who reported that she had been raped by two cops one of whose fathers works for Esparza. Esparza ordered both of these people to go to jail for reporting the crimes.

The rules of the forum did not permit me to ask a question of Esparza. The El Paso Times was there taking pictures. One cannot expect them to ask a question much less an intelligent one. And indeed, there is not one word in the paper today about Esparza's public spectacle last night. So Esparza looked the voters in the eye and he lied to them.

Do you want a prosecutor who lies to you? Because that is what Jaime Esparza is. He is a person who lies when the truth would serve him better. He lies when he comes to work in the morning and he lies at political forums at the end of the day. He lies for fun and he lies for business. He lies about how he handles cases. He lies about evidence. (And is currently being sued for that by someone who spent eight years in jail because of his lies). He lies about what the law is or is not. He lies about court rulings. He lies about what he has done to people. He lies about how he spends your money. He lies about what his duties are. He lies about what other people do or don't do. And after he has spent all day long lying and hurting people and ruining lives and destroying the constitution, he goes and he holy rollers it up and tells you while on his knees how religious he is.--One member of the audience last night stood straight up and said, "he is lying." Esparza's lies are breathtaking and they are numerous and on every subject.

Vote for an honest person. Vote for Theresa Caballero who knows what the truth is and who would never tell you anything but the truth and has never told you aything but the truth. Protect your families from liars in office. A liar as the chief prosecutor only serves to destroy the law and the sanctity of the courts. A lying prosecutor like Esparza puts your family and the future of your children at risk. This Esparza has clearly already done to us. Now it is time to stop him from continuing to harm us. Vote him out of power. Let him know what you think of him and his lies.
