re: Judge Mike Erwin's accuser in an exclusive interview (and it's not WAFB or WBRZ)

Which is an indication of just how lousy a victim she is. Johnson stole some $75,000 from a company she worked for a few years ago and was put on judicial probation. Whether it was that case or another one which landed her in Erwin’s courtroom at the 19th Judicial District Criminal Court we’re not sure, but as witnesses go she’s not the best.
And this isn’t the best bit of public messaging we’ve seen…
The race-fueled allegation has sparked a debate online with some questioning the claims, some praising Johnson for her bravery, and others bringing up a past post from 2013 where it appears Johnson herself used a version of the “N-word” on Facebook.
Less than an hour after the press conference, Johnson took to a 9News Facebook page, where it appears she defended her alleged use of the word, saying, “The word used towards me was ‘n-i-*-*-e-r’ which has been documented as a racial slur.. the term I used is often used in the black community.”
9News reached out to Johnson’s attorney to clarify her meaning of the Facebook post, but has not yet heard back. A spokesperson for the Louisiana Supreme Court released a statement to 9News saying, “We can neither confirm nor deny the existence of a complaint.”
“The term I used is often used in the black community” is an admission that there are things black people can say but white people can’t. You need a lot higher standard than that if you want to remove an elected official from his job based on mean remarks he may have made in an argument at a bar.
In any event, there is a procedure to remove a sitting judge. One must file a complaint with the Louisiana Judiciary Commission, which will investigate and hold hearings into the complaint and then decide how to dispose of the case. The LJC will have evidentiary standards in place, and those standards will amount to much more than the he-said, she-said presentation that we’ve seen thus far. If there are corroboratory witnesses to Johnson’s accusation, then we’ll find that out.
But now that the NAACP and the rest of the Gang Of The Perpetually Aggrieved have lined up behind Johnson and demanded Erwin step down, it’s playing out precisely as we predicted a week ago. Erwin keeps his mouth shut and waits for the storm to blow over so that he can, he hopes, finish out his term and retire quietly in 2020, and meanwhile he becomes a villain the Gang Of The Perpetually Aggrieved presents to others in Baton Rouge and asks “will you join us in demanding his resignation, or are you a racist as well?” The first of those others is District Attorney Hillar Moore, with whom Erwin has been longtime friends, and next is East Baton Rouge Sheriff Sid Gautreaux. And it’s not going to be acceptable, if the Perpetually Aggrieved gin up enough hysteria about this incident, to just ask that the established procedure be followed and an objective judgement be made. That, after all, is how the institutional racism gets protected in Baton Rouge – if you can’t see that accusation coming, your eyes aren’t open.
After all, the Perpetually Aggrieved managed to put one of their own in office as mayor-president, and it’s only a matter of time before they’re able to control, if not nominate, a new police chief. Getting a judgeship and perhaps a district attorney and – dare they dream? – the sheriff – would be an outstanding harvest from a few wayward racial epithets on a beer-soaked Friday night.
