10/03/2012 (press release: mdignam) // Atlanta, GA, USA // Michael Dignam
Long standing Conservative hero and Nationally recognized Mormon Female Leader nominated by President Reagan for “Most Outstanding Woman in America” award was Jailed on April 3 rd., 2012 for 70 mo. for a $4,500. first offense with no bail and no parole. Gail Dignam, denied bail, now awaits in prison the upcoming oral argument on her recently filed appeal at the Federal 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, New Orleans, Louisiana.
Gail Dignam was the lone Republican Whistle-Blower who authored legislation as an elected state official to investigate ACORN in Louisiana, and its US Senate backers Barack Obama and Barney Frank, for Voter Fraud in 2008. Although the State of Louisiana declined to prosecute GAil Dignam after a five year investigation, her Congressional Party opponent at that time, Donald Cazayoux, after largely losing his election to the above attack, later was appointed U.S. Attorney by President Barack Obama and did decide to prosecute Gail Dignam for the $9,000. Indictment. In an unprecedented move for a sitting U.S. Attorney, Donald Cazayoux chose to personally prosecute Gail in front of the jury during all three days of Gail’s criminal trial for the unusual Federal indictment of secretly directing $9,000. to her son from the $7,000,000. Federal and state funds she administered. The $4,500. Full restitution conviction of Gail Dignam is problematic as in her lone accuser’s own words in both his official State of Louisiana Auditor’s testimony and in his a notarized affidavit, “he was severely stressed with his cancer operation, and the drugs he was taking made him very forgetful.” Additionally in an email dated 2006, only discovered after the Dignam’s investigator’s seized computers and recorded notes were returned long after the trial, was irrefutable evidence that this cancer ridden witness was acutely concerned about admitting income because he felt if he did, he would lose his free government welfare and health benefits.
Additionally, this lone material witness against Gail had changed his testimony in 2010 from his recorded and witnessed official State of Louisiana Recorded Auditor’s Testimony in 2008, where-in he admitted knowing Gail’s son was working and getting paid, contradicting his trial testimony and causing the Jury to believe she had secretly directed money to her son which if not done secretly was allowed by the existing policies of the program at that time.
To his credit, this lone material witness against Gail Dignam, in an affidavit three months before trial and whose statements were witnessed by an attorney at that signing, said that he wanted to “clear his conscience” and that he was wrong in his Grand Jury testimony and was under severe medications for a cancer operation that next week. In this same notarized affidavit he swore that he felt that the U.S. Attorney steered him to answer questions at the Grand Jury hearing which were not exactly as he had intended nor were they what had actually occurred. The prosecution however did not allow this “Clearing of his Conscience” affidavit in at trial, but instead placed on the stand this sick barely able to walk or talk witness along with a long line of witnesses most of whom Gail had been tasked by the Governor of Louisiana to recover money from when the State of Louisiana fired them for misappropriating a projected $700,000. a year for three years with no documentation.
Gail Dignam’s defense is concerned that a cover-up exists (in many areas) and that her Constitutional rights as a Candidate for U.S. Congress, her rights as a U.S. Citizen and her right to Due Process were all violated. She feels that in her upcoming appeal she needs the light of day on her case to vindicate her long standing never tarnished reputation and to free her from prison. The Office of Professional Responsibility declined to investigate the issues at hand till her appeal is complete, however Gail now still sits in Federal Prison, without bail or parole opportunities and her appeal may take up to 18 before it is heard.
