Demand that the Detroit Law Department File Order of Dismissal With 3rd Circuit Court - Wiley v City of Detroit (Dismissed!)

Press Release

It has come to the Friend's attention that City Attorney June Adams is trying to undo a judgement against plaintiff Cleo Wiley in Federal and State Courts based on the reporting from this blog. This action if allowed by the law department gives the appearance of a payoff to plaintiff Wiley for damaging George Cushingberry Jr's  re-election to Detroit City Council in 2017 and, election to the Michigan State Senate 2018. The constant delays and rescheduling of this case was truly designed to discourage George Cushingberry from thinking about ever running again for political office.

On April 16^th, 2021 a sad chapter for the City of Detroit came to a quiet end when Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Dana Hathaway dismissed all charges of sexual harassment and, wrongful discharge alleged by Cleo Wiley against George Cushingberry and the City of Detroit. Judge Hathaway agreed with the decision of US District Court Judge Marianne O. Battani that charges brought by Wiley had no grounds and lacked credibility.

On Wednesday March 11, 2020, US District Court Judge Marianne O. Battani dismissed all charges against Detroit City Council Members and, former Detroit City Council-member George Cushingberry Jr. In a stinging 23-page ruling, Judge Battani ruled that Cleo Wiley did not have sufficient evidence of sexual harassment and, was not entitled to protection under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as an Independent Contractor. The court proceedings clearly showed that all Individuals named in her lawsuit did not support ANY of her claims of harassment and, Wiley’s status as an at-will employee was understood by both parties. 

All information reported by this blog on this case is factual regarding with data gathered from public documents, court transcripts and news outlets. The abuse of the #metoo movements goals and objectives by vindictive women is a form of 21st century prostitution, a jobs program for starving law firms and, cheap thrills for rouge news organizations that have a history of reporting delusional "news". Once charges are proven to be false, then accusers should face consequences in a court of law and public opinion. 

If the City of Detroit is allowed to commit this act of insubordination by not filing the final order as requested by Judge Hathaway, this would be another example of public corruption in City government. It would serve the citizens of Detroit best interest if the City writes a letter demanding a retraction from news outlets Fox 2, Detroit Metro Times, WXYZ, and WDIV for reporting gossip at legitimate news stories.

PRESS RELEASE  

Former Detroit City Councilmember George Cushingberry Jr. Acquitted of all STATE and FEDERAL sexual harassment and discrimination charges:

 

On April 16^th, 2021 a sad chapter for the City of Detroit came to a quiet end when Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Dana Hathaway dismissed all charges of sexual harassment and, wrongful discharge alleged by Cleo Wiley against George Cushingberry and the City of Detroit. Judge Hathaway agreed with the decision of US District Court Judge Marianne O. Battani that charges brought by Wiley had no grounds and lacked credibility.

On Wednesday March 11, 2020, US District Court Judge Marianne O.

The filing of the case by attorney Robin Beth Wagner on 3/13/2020 was a feeble, last-ditch and, cowardly act to hijack the taxpayers of Detroit under the guise of the #metoo movement.

Tara Reade and Cleo Wiley

After further review of the #metoo movement, it seems that the only two people who are incarcerated for sexual harassment is a White Jew (Harvey Weinstein) and an African American (Dr. Bill Cosby).  While these men rot in prison, 74 million Americans voted for a President (Donald Trump) that harassed women, paid them off to be quiet and, incited a riot that cost people their lives.

This #metoo movement has been hijacked by women who are looking for revenge against a man running for office that is perceived to have too much power or make too much money. This practice of penis politics does nothing but take the profession of prostitution to a new level. Mentally disturbed women with a grudge use the #metoo movement at the behest of people running for elected office or someone looking for a promotion within an organization. 

The policy of penis politics has a detrimental effect on any organization. From President Joe Biden, Dr. Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, Former Senator Al Franken, Gov Mario Cuomo and others, these charges only benefit the accusers for financial gain.  The accused victims that have given back to their communities get replaced by do nothing incompetent people that talk the talk, instead of walking the walk. At the same time, 86-year-old Carolyn Bryant Norman, the woman who lied on Emmitt Till in 1955 is alive and well in Mississippi not facing any prosecution at all. She is being hidden in plain sight by family members who have not been investigated by US Marshals for hiding a criminal.

Team Cushingberry sincerely thanks all supporters who believed in George Cushingberry’s innocence and, sends his most sincere apologies to the women who were used against their will by plaintiff Attorney Wagner to sustain a lie for a political gain that: gained nothing but attention for rogue news organizations promulgating fake news for profit and, political operatives with ulterior motives to the detriment of the majority of black citizens

After 5 years of lies and innuendo, George Cushingberry can peacefully carry on with the rest of his life, free from harassment from grifters and, gold-diggers who are looking to get something for nothing with nothing to show for it. Under the leadership of former President Pro-Tempore George Cushingberry, the taxpayers of Detroit have been protected again from enemies of the people practicing penis politics for profit.

Cleo T. Wiley v City of Detroit et al, Detroit City Council, George Cushingberry Jr. - The Drama Continues

By Friends of George Cushingberry Jr.

PRESS RELEASE

The taxpayers of the City of Detroit are under attack again from a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Cleo T. Wiley in the 3rd Judicial Circuit Court, Wayne County Michigan. On Wednesday March 11, 2020, US District Court Judge Marianne O. Battani dismissed all charges against the City of Detroit, Detroit City Council Members and, retired State Representative and former Detroit City Council-member George Cushingberry Jr. In her 23 page ruling, Judge Battani ruled that Cleo Wiley did not have sufficient evidence of sexual harassment and, was not entitled to protection under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as an Independent Contractor.  The court properly ruled that anyone working for a Detroit City Council member under a personal services contract is an at will employee subject to immediate dismissal. 

On Friday March 13, 2020, attorney Robin Beth Wagner filed the same charges with 3rd Circuit Court Judge Dana Margret Hathaway using State of Michigan Elliot/Larsen discrimination laws. The schedule of events for the case per order of Judge Hathaway:

1. Witness Exchange Filing:  September 4, 2020
2. Discovery Cutoff Date:      October 23, 2020
3. Case Evaluation Month:    December 2020

After step three is completed, two events are required to occur by court rule. The first one is a settlement conference and, the second one is a motion to dismiss the charges. Unless a motion to dismiss is filed within 30 days or, a settlement conference for both parties is held within 42 days the case will proceed to trial. It is noted in the record by Judge Battani that allegations are dismissed at the state level because of similarities between state and federal laws. 

The pursuit of this lawsuit the plaintiff is another attempt to shake down the taxpayers of Detroit for money. During George Cushingberry's time as President Pro-Tempore of City Council, he was responsible for putting in rules to prevent attack by plaintiffs filing frivolous lawsuits against the city.  He was also responsible for installing automation for the City Parking Department in 2015 generating over $200,000 dollars in revenue within one month of implementation. Among other monetary gains for the city, assets like Detroit City Airport and Benjamin O. Davis Aerospace High School were protected from the plans of Mayor Mike Duggan to shut it down to build more buildings that we don't need, given the massive vacancy rate of existing structures in the city.

After further review of his four year term on the Council, the incidents regarding former Council member George Cushingerry regarding a "high speed" police chase, antique cars and, sexual harassment charges were falsehoods promoted by Fox 2 Detroit News, led by former reporter M.L. Elrick. 

The car chase was proven to be false, the "antique" car was sold much less than value than advertised and, the sexual harassment charges were dismissed in court. Out of respect for the great men and women of the Detroit Police Department, police brutality charges and filing false police report charges were never pursued against the officers. Instead, we directed Chief James Craig to lecture the two officers on their mistakes and, to never, ever treat another citizen like that again. The culmination of these falsehoods served as grounds for dismissal of Mr. Elrick from Fox 2 Detroit in December of 2019. 

Tara Reade and Cleo T. Wiley

In summary, the #MeToo movement must be held accountable for promoting women to pursue frivolous lawsuits to extort money from individuals, smearing elected officials, influence elections of candidates for public office and, professionals in private businesses for financial gain. Extortion is a crime and harms women with legitimate claims. For that indiscretion, the accusers should be punished to the fullest extent of the law for extortion, filing false police reports and slander.

By February 2021, we truly hope that this fiasco is brought to a decisive end.

We Ridin with Biden - Endorsement of Joe Biden For President

by Friends of George Cushingberry Jr.

Press Release

Retired State Representative, City Council President Pro-Tem George Cushingberry Jr. and, his friends endorse Joe Biden for the next President of the United States. The sad outgrowth of the #MeToo movement is that it has become a virtual brothel for disturbed females with a grudge, looking for financial gain. For too long men have been victims of sexual harassment charges from women with issues and personal agendas. 

Joe Biden 

Working as political operatives, these women file lawsuits that are timed to strategically damage the reputation of the accused. The timing is crucial so that if the charges are challenged in court, the court dates are scheduled long after election day. This is done to cover the accuser before the charges are determined to be false. For example harassment victims like former US Senator Al Franken and the late US Congressman John Conyers never got the benefit of due process in a court of law.

Franken decided to walk away from the job instead of fight. In Mr. Conyers case, the accusations led to complications that eventually took his life. However, George Cushingberry was fortunate enough to court and was acquitted of all charges. 

The damage to Mr. Cushingberry?

• He lost his re-election bid for Detroit City Council in 2017
• He lost he election bid for the Michigan State Senate in 2018

It is a form of art for evil women to accuse prominent men of sexual harassment when they are perceived to have a lot of money or power. The enablers of these accusers are looking for financial gain at the expense of a person's livelihood. Instead of fighting the charges, the accused victim chooses to resign under duress or retire. In a private business, the accused is fired from their employment and takes a settlement instead of going to court. 

Harassers Tara Reade and Cleo Wiley

The monetary reward to these accusers are pennies to the dollar compared to the monetary gains the accused have brought to the citizens. Yes, the accuser's story must be heard by a jury of her peers. Once the allegations have proven to be false, then the accuser must dealt with in proportion to the damage caused. Allowing this behavior to continue is a poor example for young women to follow, turning them into hustlers instead of helpers.

#WeRidinWithBiden

If there was a pussy grabbing, woman abusing, pimping contest between Joe Biden, and Donald Trump, Biden would lose in a landslide. 

Therefore, please don't fall for the okie-doke of selective prosecution with sexual harassment allegations for political and, financial gain.

Starting September 19, 2020 until November 3rd, cast your vote to fire the turd!

Elect Joe Biden the 46th President of the United States..
