EL CHARCO WIRED FOR SOUND AND MAKING THE ROUNDS?

By Juan Montoya

At least three sources vouch for the credibility of the following tale:

Not long ago, one afternoon, Cameron County District Attorney Armando Villalobos got a call from his former benefactor and convicted former judge Abel Limas.

Limas apparently wanted to meet with Mando somewhere and talk to him about some burning issue. After the usual pleasantries, they agreed to meet in the Sam's parking lot off Alton Gloor. Mando was already there when Limas arrived and the former judge got in Mando's truck.

During their conversation, Limas asked Villalobos whether he remembered the time when he had given him a Whatburger bag filled with money.

As the story goes, Mando feigned ignorance and said he didn't. Limas pressed on and asked him once or twice again whether he was sure he didn't remember.

Suspecting that Limas may have been trying to get him to admit to some illegal activity, Villalobos cut the conversation short and the two men parted.

Was Limas wired for sound at the time and was trying to get Mando to incriminate himself as part of his plea bargain with the feds? Or was it just paranoia?

Guess why the call Limas "el charco" now "Porque todos le sacan la vuelta."

Was he trying to pull a Charlie Sheen in WallStreet? I don't think there was a Whataburger bag w/ money.Hey! Villalobos ,there's no free lunch.You gotta pay somehow.

Very interesting if that actually took place??? That's the way crooks transport their money??? Villalobos knows that his time is limited??? Villalobos, even if he avoids prosecution??? Will be tainted as a politician and that will be a problem when he decides to run for another office??? All this suspicion and assumption will go into the voting booth??? Villalobos has proven already that he has no loyalty to others!!! Also proven that he will do anything to get his way???
Sources say that he has been making the rounds around the county and attending functions with Maria De Ford??? Why isn't he doing this with his second in command, Chuck Mattingly??? How funny that you now see Villalobos and only because he is thinking about running for another office??? Typical politician??? Where were you before??? Why now, you are out there shaking hands??? You should have been out there when people needed you and some assurance that the DA's Office was taking care of the citizens of Cameron County???

I believe it...Mando is a crook and so is Aurora de la Garza....but she can't fit inside Mando's truck.

Al el charco solo le sacan la vuelta aquellos que tienen razones para no acercarse, pero los que no tienen miedo ya que traen buenas botas, pueden acercarse sin miedo a ensuciarse... El que nada debe nada teme ;-)
