RR’s friend, who snuck into the neighboring town’s housing authority a few months ago made his first serious move against the Neighboring mayor.
She wrote all about it for RR while still in the office, a regular puff piece about the man when RR was shifting his priorities and was using his civic association to get this man to be named county prosecutor, a man employed by the State Senator – the Neighboring Mayor’s arch enemy.
This ally of RR and would be county prosecutor claims the Neighboring Mayor’s attorney (a long-time ally) had been subpoenaed by the feds and had neglected to tell anybody.
This all harkens back to that office meeting a month before her resignation when she boldly claimed the Neighboring Mayor was corrupt and had a 16-year-old girl he’d impregnated stashed in a housing authority building.
It is still not clear to me why she – most likely at the urging of RR – has this vendetta against the Neighboring Mayor.
Or is there some personal connection that has little or nothing to do with RR?
This latest move, however, it clearly RR’s doing since it is his stooge who unveiled the attorney’s issues with the feds, suggesting that the original claims also came via RR.
Having this would be prosecutor going after the Neighboring Mayor seems to tie RR and by her by default to the State Senator, whose underlings are notorious for pulling dirty political tricks, including the hiring of prostitutes to undermine their political enemies.
Is the State Senator using these people to keep close to the Virgin Mayor and to somehow use that connection to eventually bring down the much more politically powerful Neighboring Mayor?
Is this an attempt to unravel the Neighboring Mayor’s alliances in that part of the county by severing his connection to the Virgin Mayor? Was RR’s attempt to use her to bring down the Congressman and The Small Man part of some greater political strategy that came out of the perverted State Senator think tank?
I recall how much the State Senator’s chief henchmen admired the Virgin Mayor last year when the Virgin Mayor beat the candidate the State Senator backed to become mayor. He actually asked me to introduce him to the Virgin Mayor.
There are so many players playing so many sides, it is difficult to tell who is doing whose dirty work and why.
She and RR clearly hate the Freeholder (an ally of the State Senator) who filed the charges against the Virgin Mayor, and yet at the same time, they themselves are working with the Would-Be Prosecutor, who is also an ally of the State Senator to bring down the most powerful ally of the Virgin Mayor.
What are she and RR up to? What do they hope to gain by destroying the Neighboring Mayor (as well as the Congressman and the Small Man) who helps keep the Virgin Mayor in power?
The Freeholder doesn’t seem to think RR is really his enemy.
Some of the information the Freeholder gave me about the whole situation seems to conflict with what she reported on before her leaving our company.
She got very upset with me when she found out I talked directly to the Virgin Mayor to straighten out the disparity.
I get the feeling from all of this that the Virgin Mayor is not the ultimate target, the Neighboring Mayor is, suggesting again that she and RR may be moles getting as close as they possibly can to the Virgin Mayor in order work use him (or gain information they can use) to undermine the Neighboring Mayor (and the congressman and small man who are the neighboring mayor’s allies).
This might explain some of the contradictions I’ve struggled to make sense of since September when much of this began to unfold, as to how she could be so pro-Virgin Mayor and so-anti-Neighboring Mayor at the same time.
And yet, even that doesn’t sit right in me, and I get the feeling that RR is hardly as capable as all that, and what we’re seeing is a fly-by the pants philosophy that has RR jumping at each and every opportunity to increase his own personal power and he’s dragging her along for the ride. He just wants his piece of power and is willing to backstab anyone for any reason if it serves his purpose.
If so, he’s had to scramble to keep up with the constantly changing political landscape, such as when the Virgin Mayor accidentally endorsed a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate over the current U.S. Senator who is aligned with the Neighboring Mayor, the Congressman and the Small Man.
She, of course, boasts of her new position as the Virgin Mayor’s personal aide. But it is clear from her most recent poem, she isn’t nearly as happy as she lets on his public, seeing it as an inferior position to someone of her talents. The whole thing is already coming unraveled, and the complicated political landscape makes it hard for her to comfortably pick a side where she might feel safe and appreciated.
She and RR are walking tight rope, one that depends on too many variables for them to feel confidence they can keep their balance and not fall, and sooner or later, she is going to come to realize that RR isn’t a counter balance keeping her afloat, but a millstone around her neck destined to eventually bring her down. Even she must know she will have to jettison him before that happens.
