Breaking: New Judge was hand selected and you can hear the audio phone call.. SammyT?

1- Pamale Gates is married to Bill Gates who is on the Maricopa County Supervisor.

2- She is a Judge.

3- SHE PICKED the new Judge.


We received information on how Judge Martin was picked for the election court case in Arizona after Judge Coury recused himself on Sunday. Judge Martin, you may recall, was appointed by former Governor Janet Napolitano.


So reporters called her office:

quote:

---

the woman who answered the phone said that it is Judge Gates’ responsibility to appoint judges to civil cases in Arizona, except for election and related audit cases. This lady shared that for the current election audit case, it was Judge Thomason who selected Judge Martin for the case.

So a call was made to Judge Thomason’s office. The lady who answered the phone there said that for the current case Judge Thomason did not select the judge for the case. She said that the judge’s name was provided to their office and Judge Thomason released the information on who the judge was. The woman shared that for recusals it’s the Presiding Judge who appoints the judge. She then shared that it was Judge Gates who provided Judge Martin’s name.

Here is the audio.

So she was not supposed to appoint, but she assumed that power in this case.

The American Bar Association has a code of conduct that all attorneys must abide by. A judge must avoid any impropriety or appearance of impropriety.

CANON 1: A judge shall uphold and promote the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary, and shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety.

Judge Gates has a clear conflict, if not an obvious appearance of conflict, in any cases related to Maricopa County elections and audit. She never should have selected Judge Martin for the current case. She should be recused and Judge Martin should be recused and a new independent judge should pick an independent judge to oversee this case.
