Having established those connections, one certain connection between Cuyahoga County corruption and Medina County corruption can be made in the person of former Brunswick Service Director SAM SCAFFIDE.
Regular readers of this blog may recall a prior post that, according to a well-placed source, SCAFFIDE had been terminated from his employment as Service Director by the Brunswick City Manager James Lukas in May 2011.
When approached by the media about SCAFFIDE'S firing, the Brunswick City Manager refused comment. An online Cleveland Plain Dealer article about SCAFFIDE'S removal form his position as the Brunswick Service Director can be found at http://blog.cleveland.com/brunswicksuntimes/2011/05/scaffide_leaving_brunwick_serv.html .
The well-placed source reported that SCAFFIDE had been fired for MISAPPROPRIATION.
Further, the source reported that SCAFFIDE got the job based upon the intervention of Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora.
OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE IN THIS ENTIRE MATTER IS THE FACT THAT CORRUPT MEDINA DEMOCRAT PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN HAS NOT UNDERTAKEN ANY PROSECUTIVE ACTION AGAINST SCAFFIDE, A DEMOCRAT COUNCILMAN IN TWINSBURG, OHIO, IF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE SOURCE IS ACCURATE.
Readers can easily review the prior post, captioned THE FIX IS IN! DINO HOLMAN WON'T PROSECUTE POLITICALLY CONNECTED FELLOW DEM PUBLIC OFFICIAL! easily found at http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2011/07/fix-is-in-dino-holman-wont-prosecute.html
Readers who have been following testimony in the Dimora trial will be aware that corrupt former Cuyahoga County Frank Russo, just this past week, offered testimony against his old pal Jimmy Dimora at DiMora's trial in U.S. District Court, Akron.
One particular interesting bit of Russo's testimony was his testimony that he and Jimmy Dimora did, indeed, approach judges in attempts to fix cases. Convicted judge Bridget McCafferty was one of them.
Following are excerpts from an online article of the Newsnet 5 (TV channel 5) website. The article can be found at http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/news/political/corruption_probe/frank-russo-names-judges-he-and-jimmy-dimora-allegedly-contacted-for-help-on-court-cases :
- "Frank Russo testified he and Jimmy Dimora called judges to "fix cases," and some names were mentioned in the trial for the first time. Russo also testified Dimora asked him to call judges on his behalf "at least five times."
- "One named of the first time was Judge Cheryl Karner. She is a domestic relations judge at the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas."
- "Another judge Russo said he and Dimora called for help was Judge Joseph F. Russo, a juvenile court judge at the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas."
- "Frank Russo also named former judge Bridgette McCafferty , who already is in prison."
- "Russo also named Cleveland Municipal Court judges Joe Zone and Emanuella Groves, both of whom had not been mentioned before."
- "Russo said retired domestic relations Judge James Celebrezze also was contacted...."
- "Many judges over the years were called," Russo said in federal court late Wednesday afternoon."
- " Russo also named some bailiffs he and Dimora contacted, trying to reach judges."

The evidence against Jimmy Dimora consists in no small part of hours of telephone conversations between Dimora and others, secretly recorded by the FBI pursuant to court ordered Title III wiretaps.
Turning back once again to former Brunswick Service Director Sam Scaffide, most of the general public is unaware that SAM SCAFFIDE IS JIMMY DIMORA'S COUSIN !
The matter of the failure of CORRUPT MEDINA DEMOCRAT PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN to initiate a prosecution of Democrat SAM SCAFFIDE, Democrat JIMMY DIMORA'S COUSIN, takes on a new dimension.
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT JIMMY DIMORA PLACED A TELEPHONE CALL TO HOLMAN THE CORRUPT TO WARD OFF A CRIMINAL PROSECUTION OF SAM SCAFFIDE, HIS COUSIN?
OR IS IT POSSIBLE THAT JIMMY DIMORA PLACED A CALL TO CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY JUDGE CHRISTOPHER COLLIER TO THAT SAME END? AFTER ALL, LAPDOG COLLIER IS AN ITALIAN, HAVING BEEN BORN CHRISTOPHER CALAFATO. THOSE OLD ETHNIC ITALIAN ROOTS CAN RUN REALLY DEEP.
The recent testimony in Dimora's trial demonstrates that Dimora and Russo have a history of intervening in legal matters in the courts.
WAS SUCH A PHONE CALL EVER MADE? ONLY DIMORA, SCAFFIDE, HOLMAN THE CORRUPT, AND LAPDOG JUDGE COLLIER KNOW FOR SURE!
DOES THE FBI HAVE A RECORDING OF SUCH A TELEPHONE CALL? ONLY THE FBI KNOWS FOR SURE AT THIS POINT.
IF, HOWEVER, SUCH A PHONE CALL HAD BEEN MADE, HOLMAN THE CORRUPT AND/OR LAPDOG JUDGE COLLIER HAVE GOT TO BE CRINGING AT THE PROSPECT THAT THEY MAY HAVE BEEN RECORDED!
TIME WILL TELL!
MUCH MORE TO COME ....
