 she gives a  close freind 2 years probation on a federal corruption charge?:
 
 
 Richard Vitale, who in June was acquitted in an unrelated federal  corruption case involving DiMasi, is accused of failing to register as a  lobbyist for ticket brokers trying to change the state's anti-scalping  laws, and of making campaign contributions to legislators that exceeded  the $200 limit for lobbyists. Prosecutors also said Vitale negotiated an  illegal "contingency" fee to be paid by the brokers if the legislation  they were seeking was passed.
 
 Vitale pleaded guilty to seven misdemeanor charges in Suffolk  Superior Court. His consulting firm, WN Advisors, also pleaded guilty to  three lobbying violations.
 
 Vitale, 66, will not serve any jail time but was fined the maximum  $32,000 and given two years' probation by Judge Carol Ball. The sentence  also prohibits him from lobbying for the next three years. A separate  agreement with prosecutors requires him to give up the $60,000 he  received from the Massachusetts Association of Ticket Brokers in 2007  and 2008.
 
 
 
 
 A trial, Ball said, would be "a waste of precious, precious court resources, for no good reason."
 
 
 At the outset of the hearing, Ball explained her decision not to recuse  herself from the case despite having had a friendship with DiMasi and  contributing to his political campaigns before she became a judge in  1996. Ball said that DiMasi was not a party to the case and that she had  never before met Vitale.
 
 
 
 Nov. 02--A Suffolk Superior Court judge today tossed an impounded  blueprint of the state’s corruption case against former Probation  Commissioner John J. O’Brien and a top aide to former Treasurer Tim  Cahill back into the lap of Attorney General Martha Coakley to decide  whether or not to release the information to media.
 
 Coakley  spokesman Brad Puffer said the office never opposed the document being  sealed to begin with, but would need to discuss the next move.
 
 Prosecutors  are not required by law to file a statement of their cases, though many  do so as a matter of practice following a grand jury indictment.
 
 Judge  Carol S. Ball said that while she has read the document, and, "I don’t  think there’s a lot in here," other than previously unknown names of  potential grand jury witnesses, she didn’t want it part of the official  court record at this time.
 
 "I truly worry that it violates a  defendant’s right to the presumption of innocence," Ball said. "It is,  in effect, a glorified, court-approved press release. And I have a  problem with that."
 
 Assistant Attorney General Peter Mullin told  Ball his office typically files statements of cases as a helpful "quick  and easy reference" guide for judges and probation officials to refer to  for facts.
 
 "It’s of no use to me," Ball fired back.
 
 O’Brien,  54, who retired Dec. 31 with a $4,738 per-month pension allowance after  30 years with the probation department -- 12 as its leader -- was  charged in September with conspiring with former Cahill confidante Scott  Campbell, 40, to throw Cahill an $11,100 fundraiser in 2005 that  prosecutors allege led to O’Brien’s wife, Laurie O’Brien, 52, landing a  job with the state Lottery.
 
 O’Brien and Campbell, both of Quincy, have pleaded not guilty.
 
 O’Brien’s  lawyer Brendan Pitts acknowledged in court today that in addition to  the state charges, his client is the target of a federal corruption  probe, as well.
 
 Campbell’s attorney, Charles Rankin, said Campbell  is only under investigation by the state. Those charges include  allegations that when Cahill ran for governor last year as an  Independent candidate, Campbell fronted three associates $500 apiece to  cut his boss donations in order to skirt campaign finance restrictions.

 This is the judge that allow for a secret subpoena of @p0siAn0n, @OccupyBoston and
 the hashtag #d0xcak3.
 
 Subpoena of a hashtag?  Really?  You filthy fascists lack any semblance of probable cause
 seeing as "d0xing" - the accumulation of publicly available information - is perfectly legal.  Furthermore, the only reason any LEA would seek to subpoena a hashtag would be to compile a list of outspoken twitter users who are critical of their methods.  This is an attempt to intimidate/silence people who are outspoken critics of police brutality.
 
 We will not be silenced.  If you act in a corrupt manner - we will expose you.  If you beat us, pepper spray us and arrest us in attempt to remove our constitutional right to free assembly we will call you out.
 
 If you try to subpoena with us false accusations of wrongdoing - we will call you out.
 
 If you attempt to hide your corruption with gag orders - we will call you out.
 
 
 
 We are anons - we are legion - we are the hydra...
 
 We do not forgive
 We do not forget
 Expect us
