Philip's Endorsement

Philip R. Klein wrote on the SET Political Review (emphasis is mine):

The Southeast Texas Political Review has learned through five sources close to Cornelius Williams, you know, THE Cornelius Williams US Attorney - that he is in the final stages of deciding to run against the corrupt Jefferson County District Attorney TOM MANESS?

A source very close to Williams tells the Review : "I think it is time to flush the toilet bowl called Jefferson County and bring in a honest man into the District Attorney's office in Jefferson County."

Another source tells the Review that Williams is "as honest as Judge John Stevens" and is a man of "integrity."

We are speechless. Simply speechless. Where do we give money and what can we do to help?

Investigation reveals DA candidate received mail at substance abuse facility

Candidate for Jefferson County District Attorney Cornelius Williams Jr., who is a former prosecutor in the U.S. Virgin Islands, has refused to answer questions about why he has a probationary law license from the State Bar of Texas, telling a local television station the matter wasn't "germane" to the election.

"And it is not germane to the campaign," Williams told KFDM-TV6.

Information obtained by The Examiner from public records at the Jefferson County Elections Division revealed Williams had a November 2008 General Election mail ballot sent to him in "Patient Room 1303" at Memorial Hermann Hospital's Prevention and Recovery Center, located at 3043 Gessner Road in Houston, on Oct. 22, 2008.

[Edit]

Questions also remain regarding Williams' place of residence because of his tenure in the Virgin Islands. According to his application for placement on the March 2010 Primary Ballot, Williams swore under oath that for the past two years and two months his "continuous residence" was 4495 Fortune Lane, Beaumont. His voter registration is also listed there.

But public records also show that he rented a condo at 3016 Estate Street, St. Croix, Virgin Islands. At one time, he also rented an apartment at the Orange Grove Apartments in St. Croix.

A woman answering the phone at Longleaf Condos said Williams moved back to the United States around January 2009.

Isn't it ironic that Philip R. Klein and Dr. Carrol Thomas support the same candidate for Jefferson County District Attorney?
