Smith, Jr. \u00a0Yesterday and today I was interviewed by a reporter from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wacotrib.com\/\"><em>Waco Tribune-Herald<\/em><\/a>, and I am informed that the newspaper will be running a story tomorrow about Judge Smith.<\/p>\n<p>That will probably be the beginning of the end of Judge Smith&#8217;s judicial career, and it&#8217;s long overdue. \u00a0On DirtyRottenJudges.com, I laid out the evidence that <a href=\"http:\/\/dirtyrottenjudges.com\/Judge%20Walter%20Smith.html\">Judge Smith forcibly groped and molested a female deputy clerk<\/a> in his private chambers. Other female employees have described incidents of groping and sexual harassment at the hands of Judge Smith, but this far none of them have gone public with their stories. I hope that changes soon.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, this afternoon I received an <a href=\"http:\/\/lawflog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Duke-and-Stem-audio.wma\">audio recording of a telephone conversation<\/a> between attorney Jeff Duke and Judge Robert M. Stem of the 82nd District Court of Robertson County, Texas. \u00a0Earlier this week, I wrote about how <a href=\"http:\/\/boogercountymafia.com\/BCM%20page%202.html\">Judge Stem tried to pressure Jeff to file a bar grievance against me<\/a>, apparently because I had publicly exposed some of Judge Stem&#8217;s criminal activities. When you listen to the audio, bear in mind that Jeff had been an attorney for about a year at the time of the conversation with Judge Stem. It sounds to me as if Judge Stem was trying to get Jeff to do some of his dirty work.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-472\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/lawflog.com\/?p=472&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\" ><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-472\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/lawflog.com\/?p=472&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\" ><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-reddit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-reddit sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/lawflog.com\/?p=472&amp;share=reddit\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Reddit\" ><span>Reddit<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/lawflog.com\/?p=472&amp;share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\" ><span>Tumblr<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-472\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/lawflog.com\/?p=472&amp;share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\" ><span>Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-472\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/lawflog.com\/?p=472&amp;share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\" ><span>LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20The%20beginning%20of%20the%20end%20for%20U.S.%20District%20Judge%20Walter%20S.%20Smith%2C%20Jr.&body=https%3A%2F%2Flawflog.com%2F%3Fp%3D472&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
