I am loving watching the strategy of Tiger Manager A.J. Hinch. Last night he played four outfielders against Texas Ranger slugger Joey Gallo. What made it special was the comments Hinch made when asked about his strategy against Gallo. “I’ve got a lot of history with Gallo. I know how dangerous he is. He hits a ton of fly balls. I might’ve put six guys in the outfield with Houston. I’d put Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve in shallow outfield. We put as many outfielders as we could. I’d put a guy over the fence if the league would allow it.” The Tigers really lucked out when A.J. Hinch became available because of the pitch stealing fiasco when he was the manager at Houston.
Today I received another update from Jim Haveman on the politically motivated prosecution for manslaughter of former DHS Director Nick Lyon by Attorney General Dana Nessel. Here is Haveman’s update.
July 6,2021
This is my 14th Update on Director Lyon since he was charged for the
second time on January 14,2021.
For the past few days I have been reflecting on freedom, justice and heroes.
The reality is that Director Lyon is going on the 6th year of his lack of freedom
and justice. He has experienced a total lack of due process and justice.
The Lyon family has not enjoyed the wonders of freedom and justice.
Director Lyon has always been a hero in the arena of finance and health care.
It is almost 6 months since Director Lyon and 8 other defendants were
charged by AG Nessel, Solicitor General Fadwa Hammoud and Wayne
County Prosector Kym Worthy. The defendants still do not know the
depth, extent and the facts of the charges announced 6 months ago.
A status hearing for Director Lyon and other defendants was held
on June 24, 2021 with Judge Kelly in the Genesee County Circuit
Court. Nothing was accomplished and another status hearing
regarding the facts of AG Nessel’s case was scheduled for
October, 2021. In my opinion, these cases by AG Nessel just
continue to fail to pass the competency test.
At the June 24 hearing the AG Nessel’s office was represented by
Chris Kessel her former law partner who now works for her.
On June 25 I was a guest of Bill Ballenger’s Michigan Talk
Network. The Political Insider interview is attached and the
interview starts at 19.15 ( minutes and seconds) into the show.
On July 1,2021 Director Lyon’s attorney, Chip Chamberlain
filed a motion in the Genesee County court challenging the
constitutionality of the One-Man Grand Jury that charged
Director Lyon for the second time.
Also Governor Snyder’s attorney filed a motion in the Wayne County
Bankruptcy Court dealing with the protection of Client- Attorney privilege.
As you know, AG Nessel’s office has abused this privacy protection for
the defendants.
Please keep the Lyon family and the other defendants in your prayers so
that this nightmare and injustice brought on by AG Nessel might end.

Stay safe. Wash your hands regularly. Social Distance. Wear your mask properly. Schedule your vaccine.
Orchid of the Day: Tiger Manager, A.J Hinch for playing 4 outfielders in Monday’s game against the Texas Rangers whenever Joey Gallo came to bat.
Onion of the Day: No onions today. I am in a forgiving mood.
