Sean Donovan's wife indicted

MJ Donovan, in a very handsome suit

Dear fellow tax hikers, this is a tragic day for all of us as the wife of our dear friend Sean Donovan has been indicted on federal charges.  Mrs. Mary Jill Donovan is facing Obstruction of Justice charges and will appear in front of a Federal Judge soon. 

No word whether Sean Donovan still believes we need more jail space.

This indictment hurts us deeply.  We proudly endorsed Sean Donovan for Sheriff last year, and in fact we made his race our #1 priority of the 2012 election.  His advocacy for higher taxes, the streetcar, double-dipping, and an oversized upper administrative staff would have made him a perfect Sheriff. 

Those close to our heroes Simon Leis and Sean Donovan have kept the justice system busy this year, between the Mickey Esposito crimes and the MJ Donovan indictment.  We miss this kind of drama from the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department.  Sheriff or no Sheriff, we stand behind Sean Donovan, and his indicted wife. 

Mickey Esposito sentenced to 6 years in prison

Dear fellow tax hikers, we sadly report that our friend and Courthouse Confidante Mickey Esposito has been sentenced to six years in prison for his role in the Hamilton County Courthouse Crime Ring.  His wife, Allison Esposito, was sentenced to 4 years and his son was previously sentenced to two years for their roles in the Esposito family enterprise.  Per the above article, Esposito tried to claim he was just trying to help his wife:

Michael “Mickey” Esposito thought he was doing his spousal duty when the Sheriff’s deputy in charge of the evidence room brought drugs home to help his wife’s back problem.

Because stealing jewelry and selling drugs are known to have a PROFOUND effect on curing back pain. 

For some reason, the judge didn't buy it and sentenced these three thieves to prison for 6, 4, and 2 years.  The family that steals together serves time together.  On the positive side, at least they'll be able to celebrate the holidays together for the next two years. 

We hope Mrs. Esposito gets to share a cell with Melowese Richardson.  We can only imagine how many things they'd steal from each other. 

We encourage everyone to keep their heads up during these difficult times.  Mickey Esposito is a Courthouse Confidential and Friend of Simon Leis, and because of that he is entitled to respect.  We applaud Tracy Winkler's employee Vince Wallace for the example he has set in giving Mickey the respect he deserves.  All of you should follow his example. 

In honor of Mickey's side job as a washed-up Vegas lounge act, we leave you with a live version of his namesake song, Hey Mickey.

Mickey Esposito and Vince Wallace

Dear fellow tax hikers, it was great seeing everyone at the big Vince Wallace fundraiser last week!  We asked for a huge turnout and we got it, making this year's premier GOP fundraiser a very successful one. 

Vince was kind enough to highlight some of his most treasured guests in a Facebook posting.  Among them was our favorite thief Mickey Esposito! 

Mickey Esposito is a former Sheriff's Deputy, hired and promoted by the great Simon Leis, to run the evidence room.  Esposito was arrested earlier this year and eventually admitted using his position to steal significant amounts of goods.  A family values man, Mickey's wife and son were part of the criminal ring.  Oh Mickey you're so fine. 

We applaud Tracy Winker's employee Vince Wallace for including Mr. Esposito among his noteworthy guests.  Esposito may be a proficient thief - but he's OUR thief.  We continue to stand behind Mickey as he awaits sentencing next week, and we thank Mr. Wallace for giving Mickey one last well-deserved honor for all the good he has done for Hamilton County. 

The Missing Mickey Esposito Files

Dear fellow tax hikers, we need your help.  As we recently reported, our friend Michael "Mickey" Esposito was arrested for allegedly stealing from the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department property room.  But nobody can find the case files!

The Hamilton County Clerk of Courts, run by the wonderful Tracy Winkler, is responsible for maintaining and posting the case information for all adult dockets in the Hamilton County judicial system.  So as our enemy The Whistleblower has repeatedly reported that Queen Tracy was hiding The Esposito Files, we thought he was full of it. 

Yet try and try as we might, none of us can find those files.  We want to help our buddy Mickey.  We want to review his entire case file to figure out how we can get him off these charges, but we can't.  Why is Tracy hiding the files?

This is where we call upon all you tax hikers to assist us.  We want you to find The Esposito Files.  The first who does will win a special mention from your favorite website.
