Also at issue is foreclosure theft by the judges with JPMorgan Chase Bank and other banks and mortgage companies, hundreds and thousands of homes stolen and Blacks and others who complain sometimes maliciously indicted....Judge Nancy Margaret Russo's corruption comes less than 3 weeks after an FBI and IRS raid on Cleveland City Hall and as to a continuing FBI county corruption probe that has netted some 61 guilty pleas and convictions, including two former common pleas judges and two former county elected officials.... The investigation by Clevelandurbannews.com and Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com reveals similarities to the movie 'Mississippi Burning' regarding the height of Civil Rights violations and the attack on the Black community by White supremacists, including judges, police and corrupt and racist prosecutors....This is Part 3 of the multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption....Cuyahoga County includes the city of Cleveland....Tel: (216) 659-0473.
