Mark Shurtleff Speaks out about John Swallow.

Johnson starts online war with government

Written By Ryan Scott Jensen of Utah

Salt Lake Tribune whom has been covering this John Swallow and Jeremy Johnson story the past year have written another article about the online war that Johnson has put on. It makes you wonder  why the feds and John Swallow can have a website up freely claiming his side, but Jeremy Johnson can’t have his own websites claiming his side?

I know fake profiles, false statements and all the other stuff everyone cries fowl on but if one person can’t use social media and the internet net then the other party should be held to the same standard.

The internet is a ruthless world. It’s harsh, crude and uncensored. We need to really look at the online world and see how we can better it for children. Anyway now I am going off subject…. Here is a well written update about Jeremy Johnson’s gag order.

Call it Johnson’s War — with Jeremy Johnson as commander in chief.

The indicted and sued St. George businessman is waging high-tech, low-cost battles against his federal tormentors through YouTube videos, websites, Facebook, Twitter, a blog and interviews with the mainstream media.

The Swallow case

Indicted St. George businessman Jeremy Johnson has alleged that Utah’s new attorney general, John Swallow, helped broker payoffs to enlist the aid of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in derailing a Federal Trade Commission investigation of Johnson’s I Works business.

Swallow and Reid have vehemently denied the allegations. The U.S. Attorney’s Office has said it is investigating.

He appears to be taking no prisoners:

• Johnson’s YouTube videos accuse federal prosecutors of threatening to indict his family if he doesn’t plead guilty in his criminal case in which he asserts his innocence.

• He lobs witness-tampering allegations on YouTube at a Federal Trade Commission attorney.

• He indicts the agency’s actions on his EvilFTC.com website, which he promotes on Twitter.

• On Facebook, an “[Unofficial Fan Page] United States Attorney for the District of Utah” draws negative comments about prosecutors.

• And Johnson levels similar accusations in interviews with reporters.

His has been a months-long assault, but now federal prosecutors in Utah are fed up and trying to halt it. They’ve asked a federal judge in Salt Lake City to order Johnson to stop making statements to the news media and to dismantle his online offensive.

This type of effort from a defendant is unusual, but — with the rise of the Internet and social media — people such as Johnson now have a variety of tools at their fingertips to fight such a guerrilla war against their persecutors.

powerful and has so much more in terms of resources that the voices of those who are the target of investigations are never really heard,” said former U.S. Attorney for Utah Brett Tolman. “Maybe social media changes that.”

The FTC sued Johnson and his I Works company in 2010, alleging it illegally charged consumers’ credit and debit cards monthly fees after luring them with offers of products for small fees.

This is just a small shot of the article so go to the Salt Lake Tribune for the full version.

Aaron Christner Recording of John Swallow

With Recent stories of John Swallow and Jeremy Johnson’s bribery scheme going on. I thought it would be fitting to tie in another conversation John Swallow had with Aaron Christner and Ryan Scott Jensen a few month previously to all of this while he was running for AG’s off and campaigning for the Attorney General of Utah position.

 

City weekly

 

City Weekly Provides a humorous article of John Swallow

Utah’ s Attorney General Johns Swallow-

This is a pattern of unethical  performance and terrible  poor judgement on Mr. Swallow’s part. Many local newspapers called for his resignation along with many other bloggers and media outlets eating up this story about John Swallow and the Feds.

John Swallow “Shook Me Down”

Jeremy Johnson held an interview last night with Fox 13 news about What Johnson Calls “Swallows Shake Down” . Johnson has changed his tone and view on Swallow and this is just the latest turn in the crazy story line. Also Jeremy Johnson’s lawyer Nathan Crane has asked to withdrawal himself from the case which is a little bit explained by Johnson in the video below.

Also Swallow has told and believed to promise Johnson a lot of things:

Over the course of the conversations, Johnson says he told Swallow paying Rawle would take all the money he had for a defense attorney, ”and his exact words were ‘trust me Jeremy, this is better than an attorney. You won’t need an attorney.’”

Which doesn’t seemed far fetched of Mr. Swallow to say this. I mean if he is willing to speak about “burner phones” from Walmart what else can we expect John Swallow to speak about?

Jeremy Johnson Interview

Orrin Hatch on Blast

Orrin Hatch has been the latest Utah politician to be put on blast by the media. Hatch slipped in legistlation that helps or coddles to a drug company that has donated heavily to him over the years! I believe This ties into a whole tangled mess of politics in the State of Utah right now.

John swallow is one of the drones for Hatch, this whole ethical battle in Utah goes from Orrin Hatch to Gary Herbert on Down to Swallow with many other key players tied into the “good ol boy club”.  This is depressing and sad Utahans that you allow yourselves to get pushed around, and snowed like this by your very own elected officials!~

If Utah doesn’t stand up for it’s self after this mess of ethic battles, bribes, sneaky legislation being passed, hidden agendas and god knows what else they do behind the scenes. Then Utah will have a very hard time removing this black cloud.

 

This is a recording that Hit the Salt Lake Tribune January the 29th of 2013 the recording is from April 30th, 2012. This is the type of things that go on locally and a National level inside of politics. WE as Americans have obligations to ourselves and this type of behavior is self inflicted. WE allow this to happen and it needs to change.

I believe this is a black eye that the Utah’s Attorney General  John Swallow will never be able to shake. Also we really need to think do we want our top law enforcement officer buying a “burner phone” from Walmart? That’s what typical drug dealer, or criminal would do. They would do things to cover their tracks. I am sure This recording and flutter of stories from the SL Trib over the few weeks should only raise more questions for ALL politicians at ever level State and Federal.
