Someone's Got Some Splainin To Do





FINALLY, someone in the MSM wants to get to the bottom of Mayor Ireton's phone call three weeks ago and who better than Bryan Russo.

Bryan called this morning to ask if I'd be willing to sit down with him for an in depth interview, I agreed. He stated he'd be speaking with Greg Bassett and hopefully Mayor Jim Ireton. So tomorrow I'll sit down with Bryan and give him the interview Chief Barbara Duncan never asked for, yet completed and closed her investigation.

One thing is for sure, I'll make the firm statement, I spoke with Mayor Jim Ireton for 7 minutes and 38 seconds and that's all there is to it. No one sided investigation. Just remember Folks, Jim Ireton has never refused to return a phone call to me or a text message. Interesting how he has chosen this time to not return a call or text, eh?

Put your seat belts on because the ship it going to hit the fan. Let me close with this. A friend called me earlier today and he said 90% of the people believe what I'm saying. The other 10% are saying I took this one too far. REALLY, too far, eh? I get a phone call from the Mayor, people get fired over it and I've taken things too far. Some have even stated that I'm being charged with filing a false report. HELLO! I never filed ANY report to start with. Secondly, it's already been PROVEN a call was made with Ireton's number.

If there's ANYONE who is innocent here it is me. Think about this as well. It's been well known Jim Ireton, Sarah Lake and Joe Carmean were close friends. WHY on God's Green Earth would THEY want to pull a prank they knew would backfire on their friend Jim Ireton. I rest my case.

Stay Tuned...

Get em Joe. Jim should have owned his mistake from day one and this is what happens when you lie.

Anonymous said...

Everyone I've talked to says Joe is telling the truth. I don't know where you came up with 10 percent because this is open and shut. Ireton got drunk and that's nothing new in Salisbury.

Anonymous said...

Good question. Why would his friends do that to him. You just convinced me Joe.

Why did Jimmy have to bring his whole family to that press conference. He's guilty and he's a fool. Stop drinking Jimmy. You have a problem in case you hadn't noticed. Grow up and start acting like a man.

Jim Ireton has made Salisbury the laughing stock of the eastern shore. I hope the council impeaches him.

Are you suggesting that 10% of these people believe anything anyone from the daily rag said is true. They got caught in their lied and got fired. Yet chief Duncan took them at their word. When I learned they never interviewed you I know the outcome would be crap.

Anonymous said...

Jim is not going to talk to you. Duncan is not going to talk to you, neither is Lewis.

You are a major threat to all of them Joe.
Word is, the police have disabled apps to radio transmissions to farther thwart YOUR efforts to bring real news in real time.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Just because you have a venue to tell your side of the story doesn't make you guilty of anything in my opinion. You say the mayor made the call, I believe you. These people have never been up against someone who has such a following and you scare the bejessus out of them. Its about time Iretons childish behavior casme to light. I truly believe he's done in politics. He's blown his second chance after quitting the last time. Keep up the good work Joe.

heard the same thing. local law enforcement has disabled apps and transmissions on scanners to prevent you and the local public from knowing what is going on.

like today. i heard a large number of emergency vehicles were at northside park? nothing on the police scanners at all. just word of mouth from someone who saw it.

the city needs a special prosecutor :).... at this point to investigate ireton, laura mitchell, marcello, lewis, duncan. the entire bunch of them

Mr. Ireton, where exactly were you at almost midnight?

Well, I'd rather not say.

Mr. Ireton. In order for me to complete my investigation I'll need to know your whereabouts that evening.

I was at home.

Was anyone with you?

Just Bruce.

Who's Bruce. How is he related to you?

He's my friend.

Does your friend Bruce have a last name.

Do we really have to go there chief. Can't we just make up a name and leave it at that.

Jim, if you want this thing to go away your going to have to cooperate.

Damnit Barbara, I don't need Chuckie knowing I was with Bruce if you get my drift.

Ok Jim, you were at home.

End of investigation.

And there are others who are not so sure ---until there is a neutral party who uncovers the truth and and proves this matter was a call from the Mayor with tangable proof, no doubts, no drama and no ranting.

JoeAlbero said...

anonymous 4:04, are you suggesting I'm lying? Look, I'm the one who received the call. My Wife sat right there when she heard Jim Ireton's voice and said, that's Jim. I then held a 7 minute and 38 second phone call with a person some are suggesting was someone else. THINK about that for a minute, seriously. Do you really believe someone can fool you or anyone else for that long? We instantly recognized the voice. I recognized the manorisms and the whole nine yards. I know exactly who I was on the phone with, period. Its not as if there was all this noise at either end of the phone. I was standing in the middle of a field in the middle of God's Country. No traffic, no noise. The phone said it was Jim Ireton and I know Jim Ireton's voice. Twist it any way you want, I didn't make a call to Jim Ireton. It was the other way around.

Anonymous said...

3;46 I have tears in my eyes I'm laughing so hard.

Anonymous said...

I also believe it was Ireton. Joe is correct no one can fake a voice for that length of time.
Another thing if Joe believed it wasn't Ireton then he would have gone with that story from the beginning- Late night call from someone claiming to be Ireton. Who is posing as Ireton? And why?

Anonymous said...

Can someone help me understand what happens when your phone records are subpoenaed? Does some judge simply say "get what you want and share it with anyone you wish"? Does the person whose records these are have a right to find out just who those records were shared with and do the people that viewed them have to have a valid reason or is it just entertainment amongst friends?

I'm serious. I'd like to understand how this works in the event it ever happens to me.

JoeAlbero said...

anonymous 4:19, it is my understanding it came from the States Attorneys Office and not a Judge. How's it smell now?

Some are calling it an illegal search and siezure. I'm not a lawyer but we'll see what happens.

Anonymous said...

I didn't know the state's attorney had the power to issue a subpoena. I thought it always had to have a judges' signature.

Anonymous said...

Why didn't the police interview you. That's what answered all of my questions about this.

Anonymous said...

So this is what we get when we bring in a different Mayor with a unique lifestyle, no thanks. A real man would have ignored it. It seems to me someone has a lot to hide.

Anonymous said...

The question is-What crime was the PD or SA "investigating" that allegedly occured for them to even subpoena the phone records? To clear the mayor's name? Would that even be a criminal offense?
Could this be considered malfeasance-mayor having PD get involved in a civil matter?
Next question-on JT's site I believe I saw where Sby PD said this was an investigation into a "false" report made by Joe.
"False" report? Isn't that stretching the truth considering Joe showed them his cell phone with the name Jim Ireton as having called him the night before.
Looks to me and I may be misreading but the PD/SA maneuvered Joe's concern by saying he filed a "false" report in order to turn this into a criminal matter.

JoeAlbero said...

anonymous 4:52, Can you or anyone else state they have seen ANY evidence of JT's claims? There are none because I have never been charged with anything.

Jonathan Taylor is a liar and always has been. If I say the sky is blue he'll come back instantly and say its brown. Haven't people grown tired of hearing I'm going to jail, I'm getting sued, blah, blah, blah.

I never filed a Police Report, HELLO! Wouldn't I have to FILE one for it to be false, or are some people just that stupid.

The Officer on duty CONFIRMED the call was in fact from Jim Ireton. Duncan admitted that in Jim's Press Conference. Jonathan Taylor is no different than the Daily Times.

Anonymous said...

I believe several people have subpoena authority, depending on the type of subpoena. State attorneys, court clerks and of course judges.

I Am Voting For Joe said...

This is how I see it.

How many times have you done posts about Jim Ireton and weather they were factual or not He never responded. Now they are over the top saying I did not do this.

WHY?

I will tell you why because he (Jim)
is Guilty as charged. When people go to great lengths to say they didn't do it, well I see for what it is. A Press Conference over a phone call, friends taking the fall and a Police Chief sweeping it all under the rug.

Jim if you had just let this one go I would of always had doubt about the truth. Sorry to say you screwed up in big way by denying it.

Every single scanner app I have found for my phone shows the Salisbury Police feed as disabled. II have checked like 10 of them so far.

I know Joe but here's the thing. JT has what appears to be official reports posted and I'm quoting-

"The incident was reviewed and Mr Maciarello DETERMINED that an INVESTIGATION CAN BE CONDUCTED in reference to a FALSE report by Mr Albero." I added the CAPS.

So basically what they did and how they were able to subpoena your records was to twist this around and turn it into a criminal investigation saying you filed a FALSE report.

anonymous 4:59, awesome comment and so true. When people start lying they go to extremes. Most of us have raisewd children and we see that exact behavior when they lie.

I'd have to agree with the volume of things we've brought up about Jim Ireton, (could be more than 100) and they never reacted with a press conference.

Thanks for the comment.

JoeAlbero said...

anonymous 5:05, Holy Crap, you can't be serious, right?

If that is the case, #1, I am wrong Mr. Taylor, please forgive me.

Secondly, IF that is the case I can assure you, SOMEONE has some serious explaining to do.

I never filed ANY report, to start with. Secondly, what in the hell could have been false anyway.

I'm calling my attorney right now. Thanks for the heads up.

Anonymous said...

Joe, what they did was to twist this into a criminal matter in which they ended up investigating you for what they claim was filing a "false" report.
Bryan needs to ask them what was so compelling even after seeing your cell with an incoming call naming Ireton as the caller, that lead them to think you filed a false report. Let's see how the PD and SA try and spin this one.

Anonymous said...

I work quietly, do my job, do not overtly draw attention to myself and keep my mouth shut. As such people tend to ignore me and just forget that I am around. The biggest thing I do is LISTEN and throw in the rare question. What I do know is that my iPhone police scanner app no longer lists Wicomico County under Maryland. I used to be able to get SPD on it. I understand that the threat of going after internet records is a viable option. There is a suggestion/rumor that there was an internet worm introduced shortly after midnight Monday morning that opens up and unlocks a mirror image of sbynews.com . The justification is that among other things there have been many racial and homophobic statements that have been made, implied, and allowed to be posted by Mr. Albero. This is an LLC corporation that has claimed (by ruling of a judge) to be MSM and therefore open to the Freedom of Information Act and by a technical extension Ricco Law. The association to Ricco Law is at this point a loose one but there are implicatins that given a thorough review of information gathered that it may be possible to make it stick. Let me advise that from my admitted limited experience that this may be a stretch but the FEDS really do not have to "make" a case in order to investigate, make everything public (via the Freedom of Information Act, see how it works in circles?) and start a fire storm. It may go nowhere but it sure will open SEVERAL cans of worms. Mr. Albero, I wish you the best of luck and hope that you are able to come out on top of this. PLEASE just beware that there are gears in motion that at this point are not going to stop moving...

Has anyone been reading the news about swatting? The liberals are going after the conservative bloggers. This is almost the same thing or at least they are trying to make it look that way. Someone makes a fake call to the police saying a crime was committed and the swat teams shows up at their door. The only difference is the call in this case was not fake. The police just want us to think that it was.

If you remember correctly Joe Carmean and the Daily Rag were pimping for Bubba Comagees and constantly printed negative information against Ireton including his homosexual persuasion and his brush with the law on a beach in Delaware. I can't believe Ireton is to stupid to fall for those losers and turn on his friends like he has.
