There comes a point when mere rumor and hearsay becomes flesh.
And now, sources who events have proven credible up to now are telling us that this coming week we will see the unsealing of at least four federal indictments involving members of the judiciary and at least one elected official.
The only new details we have heard are that among those named in the indictments will be at least two district judges, one county-court-at-law judge and a female elected official.
We have been exposed to rumors of this ilk for the past two years that the prosecutors with the local U.S. Asst. Attorney's Office have busied themselves prying into judicial corruption that has involved a number of prominent attorneys.
The names of Abel Limas, Jim Solis, Ray Marchan, Joe Valle, etc., come to to mind. And then there are the names of local attorneys and judges that have emerged from testimony from the witness bench of the federal courthouse as having participated in allegedly corrupt acts. People like Charles Willette, Rene Oliveira, Eddie Treviño, etc.,
Then, of course there was Limas himself naming names of several judges from the witness stand that he said would play along with him in granting favors such 357th District Court Judge Leonel Alejandro, 138th District Judge Arturo Nelson, 444th District Judge David Sanchez, and 404th District Judge Elia Cornejo-Lopez.
Outgoing Cameron County District Attorney Armando Villalobos, who denied he was a target of the corruption investigation when reports surfaced here and elsewhere, is said to be talking with the feds through his attorneys even as he fights the racketeering indictments against him.
Alejandro resigned unexpectedly last week, and Sanchez is rumored to be considering doing the same, according to sources close to the court.
Will the aggregate of the whispered rumors of our sources become true this coming week? All we can tell you until then is that there are a lot of nervous people in town today as the reports of the upcoming indictments make the rounds.

FEDERALES, YA QUE SE CALENTARON EN METER AL BOTE A TANTO JUEZ CORRUTO QUE HAY. PUES NO LE AFLOJEN Y SIGAN CON LOS BUROCRATAS DE LA CUIDAD EMPEZANDO CON EL ABOGADO CITY MGR FINANCE PURCHASING ETC.Y TAMBIEN CON LOS DEL CONDADO.NO PAREN QUE HAY MUCHA CHAMBA.
It's all politics as usual, just at a higher level: the feds. Given the number of close contacts between Judge Hanin and the defense law firm that fought (and lost to) Rosenthal, all the indictments should be squashed as unreliable political favoritism. The perception of that power urged Villalobos to hire the head man on that same civil defense law firm as his own criminal defense attorney. That judge should recuse and step down from the bench. It's still all Cameron County politics, just played on the federal field. So then the question: who polices the feds' abuse of power? T'ain't Judge Hanin; he's in it up to his elbows.
Nelson/Alejandro, Sanchez, Gonzalez, de la Garza?
I knew it, it was just a matter of time.
And this is not the rest of the story.
So what about. Villalbos right hand man? Joseph Lopez head investigator for him. They worked hand and hamd
ES LO QUE PASA CUANDO PERMANECEN MUCHO TIEMPO EN LOS PUESTOS,DEBERIAN ESTAR MAXIMO DOS PERIODOS, DE TODOS ES SABIDO LOS ARREGLOS EN PENAS DE ACUERDO A LA POSIBILIDAD ECONOMICA DEL DETENIDO
female elected official? = aurora de la garza? praise the lord, we are free, free at last!!!!!!! or could it be a city female elected official? mmmmm makes me wonder?????!!!!!! who can it be now?
MORE TRASH BAGS TO SET OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD....GO BFI. Oh...I'm sorry, I mean FBI...
A LA MO. Wondering where all this is going to end. Que verguenza,
HAHAHAHAHA Is this Brownsville's BEST that we have???? Damn....no wonder lots of corruption going on in this city, you show them a couple of houndreds of Dlls and they will kiss your ass!!!! hahahha dicen que a cada perro se le llega su hora.
G.H.
this cannot be in cameron county, all these elected officals are very honest hard working folksm, no son trampas, i just cant believe it. its all false accusations Juan get yoru info correct
PUT THESE TRASH BAGS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR.... BFI. Sorry, for the FBI!
Really? No comments? What's a matter, Federales got your tongues'?
Come on Trey come on you other smart
loud mouth attorneys....
Why are you not the first to defend these guys who sit on the bench....
Did you decide and did your dads tell you to just skip the ethics class at law school . . . .
Your silence is golden to us . . .
and yea..... the whispers, looks and smiles from the voters you keep seeing is what the public really
thinks of your conduct, of how you deal with us about our cases . . .
after all we are the CLIENTS.
Ernie,Erin,and Norma Hernandez,you're next.
You know Montoya? I wonder where Abel Gomez came into so much money to advertise the way he did? Feel sorry for Precinct 2! Unless the Feds are going to come knocking on his door since he was a "gofer" for Armando Villalobos, who thought he was the ultimate fixer when it came to politics?
interesting, no comments ventured.
We can only hope the female "elected official" is Aurora de la Garza....the grand dame of the Cameron County judicial process. She has made sure the "right" case got to the "right" judge. Her corruption is legendary because the judges have protected her, to protect themselves in their corruption. The best example was when her son Joey de-frauded a local hospice of "mucho" money. The Sheriff (Lucio) refused to arrest Joey...a professional Dumbokrat courtesy to Aurora. The case popped up suddenly on Abel Limas' agenda and the DA let it fly without even giving the people at the hospice a chance to show up. Of course Limas slapped him on the had with a noodle and just before Limas left the bench he dismissed Joey's case of stealing money from the dying. This saga characterizes the Cameron County Judicial System and the Dumbokratic Party of Cameron County.
Uuuuyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Hmmm...still no comments. Wonder if the Feds have Mr. Montoya in custody, inquiring as to his source. Mr. Montoya, don't let the waterboard break you! Be strong brother!
About time, and more indictments to come
we have a septic condition in Cameron County, and sorry to say, but true, we've caused it, to elect the bastards
Juan, For YOU-------Is it true that the nice lady that is married to the former mayor, Kickback Eddie, is finally showing him the door?
I know the name of one judge. All you have to do is look at Texas Ethics Commission filings and you can figure it out for yourself!
Happy new year to all !!HOW YOU DOING!!!!
Geez Juan, I missed an NFL playoff reading all these comments.
Buenos dia del los Reyes magos a todos, im glad the FBI is doing a Great job in bronwsville and elsewhere, i know that they have not finished yet, need to round up more folks at the cameron courthouse yet and yes i hope aurora is one of thes 4 mentioned to come. I sure some folks are having sleepless in seattle nights whating for the door to knock at their house and get arrested. But in the end, you get what you deserve, so the calabacita express keeps on going ho ho.

Traen la cola entre las patas!!! andan ben asustados y azorrillados los pendejos.
FEDS KEEP THE GOOD WORK,DONT FORGET YOU NEED TO CLEAN CITY GOVERNAMENT BEFORE THEY STEEL EVERYTHING,LOOK WHAT THEY DID WITH THE SPORTS PARK,LOOK AT PUBLIC WORKS DEPT 'PUROS HUEVONES' LOOK CITY PURCHASING,CITY MANAGER,FINANCE,PARKS,ALL A BUNCH OF CROOKS.AND DONT FORGET THE PUBLIC HEALTH INSPECTOR WILLY GLZ.
The first comment sounds like CPG; she likes to blog in spanish to throw people off her trail. She befriends people like, the Velas, Cascos, Cardenas CUBCO, etc. then she stabs them in the back. How do we know; cuz she brags about those who help her and she believes adore her. When will people learn not to trust her. She creeps into their lives, offers help and then BOOM! She is the evilest of them all! Just like the evil queen in the story books!
Are they? They have being doing the same thing for many years without consequences they are sure nothing is going to happen, Limas, Villalobos , Ernie and Norma Hernandez the have no shame, they are exposed finally, but are they actually going to jail? I doubt it!!!
Could someone please give Montoya internet access from home. It's too cold to go out to the public library.
yo comment 'CPG' do not know he or she, but are you against the feds trying to clean all the wrongdoing about the velas, cascos, cubco.how about luis torres contractor for the city good friend of cabler and brother of public works director.
VILLALOBOS ONLY FRIEND.
THE CAMERON COUNTY CARTEL OPERATED WAY BEFORE MANDO WAS HERE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT MANDO WAS OFFERED A HAND AND HE TOOK THE ASS(LITERALY). LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT IN CONJUCTION WITH THE COURTS AND JUDGES SAW OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK AT THE IGNORANT'S EXPENSE. ALL OF THE SUDDEN WE HAVE AN OUTBURST OF MILLIONAIRE ATTORNEYS AND JUDGES RUNNING THE TOWN(NOTICE ATTORNEY'S FEES IN THE LAST 8 YEARS). GO TO THE PRISON SYSTEM AND YOU WILL FIND PLENTY OF VILLALOBOS VICTIMS THAT COULD NOT AFFORD JUSTICE. SHERIFF LUCIO KNOWS ABOUT THIS BUT DECIDED TO IGNORE THE CORRUPTION(FEDS ARE ON HIS ASS TOO) HE WAS ALSO COVERED BY ARMANDO VILLALOBOS ON SEVERAL OF HIS CIVIL VIOLATIONS/ ABUSE OF POWER CASES THAT LED TO THE VICTIM BEING VICTIMIZED REPEATEDLY . TO END ALL, CORRUPTION WILL NOT END IN THIS COUNTY UNTIL WE SET AN EXAMPLE OF THE ONES BENEFITING FROM THIS PRACTICES AND US THE CITIZENS REPORTING THIS CRIMES.
AS FOR MANDO HE KNEW WHAT WAS COMING. HE MADE ARRANGEMENTS WELL IN ADVANCE FOR THE ONES THAT WERE GOING TO STAY BEHIND TO DOWNPLAY HIS CORRUPTION AND JUSTIFY HIS CRIMES. IT WAS IN HIS AGENDA FOR THE ONES THAT WERE GOING TO COME AFTER HIM(EX. DA. LUIS SAENZ, AURORA DE LA GARZA, CONGRESSIONAL BID)TO KEEP HIS CORRUPTION GOING AND IGNORE HIS CRIMES.
PS.. NO HAY MAL QUE DURE CIEN ANOS..
THE FALL OF ANOTHER DICTATOR..
LETS KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON D.A LUIS SAENZ AND HIS OFFICE..
CALABAZAS LUIS????
thank you for your concern in regards to montoya's health. but he is doing just fine doing honest work where he is at, than you biting your nails every day on your lazy boy hoping that the feds don't get to you sheriff (sucio)lucio..
Aurora your time is up sugar y al bote con conrado cantu y limas y solis y valle alejandro, sanchez lopez etc etc etc, keep them calabazas rolling down the raod.
mr montoya if you are sick, GET WELL ok. and keep writing. hay que acabar con los ratones
district attorney Luis saenz started cleaning house. the mess left behind....no calabazas needed for this DA...but if you offer....integrity.,morals , he will tske it..
