I decided to take a closer look of Ms. Palfrey's recent email of an interesting subject regarding her case.
In this draft federal court documents, Baltimore IRS special agent Tony Burris began his investigation of Deborah Jeane Palfrey in June 2004. This was only a few weeks after Maryland State Police Superintendent Ed Norris copped a plea deal and was given a light six-month jail term.
Who is Norris?
On December 10, 2003, Norris had been indicted for using his police Executive Protective Unit (EPU) to ferry women of mysterious origins around to various locations, including a Baltimore hotel room, while Norris served as Baltimore's police commissioner. The indictment describes what it calls "romantic encounters" between Commissioner Norris and a number of anonymous women. Helping Norris with all this was his right hand man, chief of staff John Stendrini. Norris's December 2003 indictment came just a few days after Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Luna vanished from his desk at the Baltimore federal courthouse around midnight, on December 3, 2003.
Who is Jonathan Luna?
Luna, an Assistant U.S. Attorney, was found viciously murdered in a stream off the Pennsylvania turnpike in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He'd been stabbed thirty-six times....In the days immediately following Luna's death, the Washington Post and the Baltimore Sun, among other media corporations, suggested that Luna's murder was the result of an encounter with a prostitute. This supposed information, they reported, had come from "unnamed law enforcement sources." Luna's murder still remains unsolved.
In March 2004, a few months after the filing of his original indictment, Norris was hit with three additional tax charges for falsifying his income to the IRS. That's when the Baltimore IRS office got involved. Norris accepted a plea deal in May 2004. He and Stendrini were sentenced on June 21, 2004, about the same time Baltimore IRS agent Burris began looking at Ms. Palfrey.
A year to the day after Luna's murder [December 3, 2004], his former boss, U.S. Attorney Tom DiBiagio, was forced to resign. In early March 2007, DiBiagio called in a New York Times reporter to say he believed he'd been forced from his job because he'd been investigating alleged ties between gambling proponents and staff members working for former Maryland Republican Gov. Bob Ehrlich. DiBiagio said he felt his life at one point was threatened during the curtailed investigation, but that the FBI refused to protect him. DiBiagio said several prominent Maryland Republicans -- the NY Times did not name them -- had pressed him to back away from inquiries on whether associates of the governor were improperly using money from gambling interests to promote the legalization of slot machines. He said he had reported one of those conversations to an FBI official as a threat. Gov. Bob Ehrlich also previously accepted campaign contributions from lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Gambling proponents and Abramoff? Hmmm... Ironically, several investigations connected to Abramoff were arising during that time: now convicted Ohio congressman Bob Ney; Representatives, Tom DeLay, Tom Feeney, and John Doolittle; as well as top staffers to Senators Conrad Burns, Kit Bond, and Representatives Roy Blunt and Don Young, Shirlington Limousine, CIA Director Porter Goss, CIA Executive Director Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, and convicted Representative Duke Cunningham.
