Third Party Watch has learned that Ms. Harlos has been provided with a copy of the Investigatory Committee report, complete with the votes of the investigatory committee. According to Ms. Harlos, the votes of the LNC on the various charges were not included in the report.
There were certain reported anomalies with the delivery of the report. It arrived in an unsealed envelope, brought by a local delivery service. The man doing the delivery had not been warned that Ms. Harlos is seriously ill with covid and therefore he should mask. To reach Ms. Harlos in the indicated time, it would’ve been necessary to send the report electronically to FedEx or some other office service for local printing, and then separately have the report delivered. For this to occur, someone must’ve witnessed the report being printed, collected the relevant pages, and placed them in the envelope.
Neither the person placing the report in the envelope nor the person delivering the unsealed envelope to Ms. Harlos at her home could have been signers of our Non-Disclosure Agreement. We gather that Ms. Harlos is reasonably well known her town, and therefore a document entitled Confidential and Investigatory Report might well of been of some interest to whoever was handling the papers, enough that they might plausibly have read them. The first issue is that I have just described two major violations of any reasonable set of confidentiality rules, namely that the unredacted document was accessible to at least two people who would not have signed an NDA. The second issue, according to Ms. Harlos, is that the document according to her libels not only her but other people, and therefore these accusations, which Ms. Harlos maintains are false, could readily have been seen by unauthorized persons.
The second issue is that the document does not include the votes of the LNC. Given the timing, the lack of these votes should not be surprising. However, because the votes were not included, the document was not a notification in the Roberts sense to Ms. Harlos that she had been charged with anything, let alone that there would be a trial on a scheduled date. However, while Ms. Harlos, based on her report, has not been notified of her forthcoming trial, and therefore under Roberts apparently continues to exercise her powers as Secretary, she reports that she is been cut off from her LNC mailbox and therefore cannot recover from it any emails to her related to this or other issues.
We may have more information at a later date.
So the charges are secret, unless you happen to know the national chair and get sent a copy. I don’t happen to know the national chair, nor would I ever want to, so I guess like the rest of America I will just have to wait for the outcome of the secret kangaroo court.
FedEx still does next day overnight delivery of documents. I guess they don’t have enough money in the checking account at the LNC to do that, and opted for a cheaper method. Which raises the question of course of whether they have enough money to rent a meeting room to hold this trial.
Interesting because such an accusation might involve a counter claim of libel.
I am also running for office here. My name is known. For all the Chair’s showboating about “putting the LNC at legal risk” – well they just did by libeling me. Just the other day I emailed them and told them I DID NOT CONSENT to disclosure to others other than my attorneys in the derivative suit and IF I have an attorney at my “trial” which would be a different person. Why? Because a lie can run 50 miles while the truth is still putting its shoes on. And I want to note, that even though the LNC negligently released the report to third parties, I have not. Who is responsible for doing this should resign.
