NORTHEAST HARBOR, July 20, 2023 - Eli Durant-McDonald, 24, the protester whose disorderly conduct charge was dismissed by the Hancock County district attorney in the spring, has filed suit in U.S.
Thanks for reporting on this and other subjects the local paper doesn't seem to want to touch. I may have to join the protests, people like this guy are what is killing democracy and freedom.
Today NorthEast Harbor staff followed me around town washing off my 'google Leonard Leo = Corrupt Courts' chalk messages. Is this really a priority for taxpayers' money? How much money is pandering to Leonard Leo costing you all?
Of course, the Bar Harbor Town Council continues to stonewall on accounting for Leo aligned former Town Manager Kevin Sutherland's campaign of suppression, erasure, and lies to the press. Abetted by The Mt. Desert Islander which continues to refuse to correct reporting in which they amplified Sutherland's lies and continue to perpetuate them.
My protest was inspired by Leo's orchestrating Eli's arrest. I benefitted by the police leadership not wanting to repeat Kevin Edgecomb's abuse of authority. They seem to have gotten the message across to Edgecomb because recently I heard him explaining to Leo supporters that what I was doing is legal. But what they did to Eli and his family is appalling. The Durands standing up for their rights helps protect all of us. ThankYou!
The purpose of my protest is to encourage people to 'google Leonard Leo = Corrupt Courts."
Sharing the QuietSide Journal reporting would be very helpful. Also sharing other investigative reporting on Leo. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. Kenneth P. Vogel of the NYTimes. Lisa Graves of TrueNorth. Andy Kroll and Andrea Bernstein of ProPublica have done really seminal reporting about Leo and the Teneo Network
Terrific story. Thank you. News question. You credit Bangor News w breaking the story, which contains quotes from Jane Mayer’s story on the same news in the The New Yorker. So either Bangor broke the story and added The New Yorker quotes later, or The New Yorker broke the story. Which was it?
Lenny's utter contempt for his neighbors is demonstrated by his thinking that the town policemen will be his water-boys, doing his bidding to dispose of pesky reminders of his corruption of the body politic. Facilitating the bribing of Supreme Court Justices on a grand scale with $500,000 gifts from far-right Texans is just appalling; Lenny does not much like being called on it. Although Lenny's preferred solution of having Mr. Durant-McDonald tossed into Guantanamo to go have breakfast with the mujaheddin would be more to his taste, the local prosecutor is not so accommodating. Oh, well.
After hearing the whole video, this article is very disingenuous and inaccurate. Your bias is showing...

How can those of us outside Maine contact you and help and donate toward your protest?

Many people have offered to buy me chalk and even to bake a cake with a file in it were I to be arrested. ThankYou but no.
Local activists sometimes babysit me when things have been threatening :)
