Today, I filed a 30-page brief opposing the motion to dismiss State ex rel. Esrati v. Foley, case number CA 30525 in the Second District Court of Appeals. This isn’t just about Michael J. Foley, the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts, skirting the law. This is about a justice system so warped by politics, incompetence, and secrecy that we no longer know who it really serves. Spoiler: It’s not you.
Justice Delayed Is Democracy Denied
When a public official is indicted—especially for crimes involving their office, the wheels of justice must move fast. Not for political revenge. For voter protection. Instead, what we got was a year of slow-walking, sealed filings, secret hearings, and a judge who seemed more concerned with letting Foley keep his paycheck than upholding the law.
Filing a Quo Warranto in Ohio Is Like Shouting Into the Wind
There’s no government watchdog to bring these cases when prosecutors won’t. That’s on us, the citizens. But when we step up, we’re punished with filing fees, delays, and technical hoops. No reimbursement (no way to claim legal fees- if you could afford to hire a lawyer to do this). No whistleblower protections. No incentive other than outrage and civic duty. That has to change. If you blow the whistle and are right, there ought to be consequences for the crooks and a reward for you,not just a bill and an attaboy!
Voters Deserve the Truth. On the Ballot
If you’re under felony indictment, that should appear on the ballot next to your name. Period. Running for office while concealing criminal charges is fraud by omission. And if you’re removed from office for crimes, your seat shouldn’t be handed back to your political buddies to fill. It should trigger an immediate special election. No more musical chairs, no more patronage hand-offs. Remember Foley originally ran to unseat Russ Joseph who had been appointed by the dems to fill the rest of Greg Brush’s term. Then the Dems gave Russ the treasurers office mid-term, and he lost that to John McManus. Voters don’t like people (or political trolls) being put in office without their approval (Kamala anyone?)
The Hein-ous Problem
Let’s talk about Judge Jonathan Hein. This is the guy who:
- Approved an illegal plea deal that bargained away 10 of 12 felony charges.
- Then let Foley withdraw his no-contest plea after sentencing, without a showing of manifest injustice.
- Did it all under seal, so the public never saw what was happening.
- Hein has a history of questionable behavior going back decades:
- 1999 Judicial Discipline
- Pike County Murder Trial Blowup (sorry it’s a Facebook video link- but it’s got comments worth reading, also an article in the Scioto Valley Guardian, and if I yelled at a judge like that prosecutor, I’d be in cuffs in 20 seconds flat)
- Prosecutorial Complaints
Hein is a “visiting judge,” which means he’s unaccountable to voters. He blew it here, and not for the first time. Who checks a bad judge? Apparently, no one.
Where’s Keith Faber?
Let’s not forget the state auditor. Faber’s office investigated Foley. Filed the charges. Then let it fall apart. Now he wants to be Ohio’s next Attorney General? You can’t even follow through on one slam-dunk corruption case, and you want a promotion?
Sealed Dockets, No E-filing, and Hiding in Plain Sight
This case is hard to find in the public records system. That’s not an accident. It was misclassified under “Company: Clerk of Courts,” and didn’t show up under my name or Foley’s. I had to write a letter just to get the damn docket searchable. Meanwhile, the 2nd District still doesn’t allow e-filing, even though Montgomery County Common Pleas does. Same courthouse. Same technology. Same public servants. Just a refusal to modernize, because they can. And make a massive contribution to global warming by killing trees.
Why I Filed
Because the law matters. Because public office isn’t a shield from accountability. Because when prosecutors, judges, and elected officials conspire, whether through incompetence or calculation, to keep the public in the dark, someone has to turn on the light.
Read the Filings Yourself
This is not over. This is just the part where the public finally gets to see what they tried to hide.
UPDATE
29 Jun 2025, I realized there were some really bad mistakes in my Realtor Brief Opposition, and had to file an amended brief today, along with a motion to leave to file and amended brief. I’ve left the originals. and included the two updated documents.
Amended new filings
There are some serious errors of omission in Ohio Revised Code on enforcement and who can enforce laws precluding felons from being in elected office in Ohio, which go back as far as 1824. It’s the major obstacle in this brief, and I had to rework some of it to overcome the challenges. We will see if I will get a turn in court.

Good for you David, but because your pro se, I’m going to predict that your motion to file longer than 25 pages will be denied and your brief will not be considered by the court. The Justice system does not allow pro se litigants to succeed in court. It’s a fact. I hope you succeed but because you exceeded the page limit, the court won’t even consider the brief you wrote, even with a motion of leave..I filed an affidavit to remove a judge with the Ohio Supreme Court and they asked me to redo the official stamp of a notary because it didn’t have the County of Montgomery in the stamp, luckily the notary could just write it in. Courts are very to the law.. Pro se litigants aren’t given any leeway.
David, loved your song this time around – what a hoot! When you’re hot, you’re hot LOL!

Judge Jonathan Hein went to law school in Toledo, Ohio where this Jerry Reed concert was. The Toledo Blade newspaper owners got into a family spat and Judge Hein heard it.

When should a judge recuse? It seems to me Judge Hein’s unethical violations on judicial political campaigning should prevent him from presiding over Mike Foley’s own politically motivated and unethical felony charges. A five-member commission appointed by the Ohio Supreme Court disciplined Hein for violating judicial canons during a political campaign against Judge Lee Bixler. Jonathan Hein was reprimanded and fined. Judge Lee Bixler died in 2000 at OSU Medical Center. Did Judge Hein have a judicial career by dint of death?
https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/oh-commission-of-five-judges/1486522.html
Mike Foley is a Republican. Visiting Judge Jonathan Hein is a Republican. Sharon Kennedy, the Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, and virtually all of the justices, are Republicans. Kennedy assigned Judge Hein the Foley case. All of the sitting judges in the appeals court for Montgomery County are Republicans and they recused themselves from hearing David’s quo warranto case. All of the new visiting appeals court judges assigned by the Ohio Supreme Court to hear David’s quo warranto case are Republicans. They’re from Butler County and heard the case involving the Republican county auditor who filed his own quo warranto action to get his job back when he had been convicted of a felony (later reversed). (I hope I got all that right) See a pattern here?
I don’t even know what to make of the online video footage from Judge Hein’s courtroom as he oversees the murder trials in Pike County, Ohio. The pleas and allegations of judicial bias for the defense are troubling. Judge Hein turns 70 in less than six months. Will he age out? By the way, is he double dipping?
Great editorial, David. How does this guy get elected? He’s appointed for life, right?
Herb, I respectfully disagree with your statement here: “… The Justice system does not allow pro se litigants to succeed in court. It’s a fact…” While your personal experience may not have been satisfactory so far, many legal matters are handled by the parties themselves. For example, civil rights, small claims, traffic violations, domestic relations, and probate matters are often fully pro se. However, an attorney may be required for certain case types.
I believe courts are helpful to pro se litigants and links to forms are even provided (see the below court websites).
Federal: https://www.ohsd.uscourts.gov/pro-se
State: https://opd.ohio.gov/law-library/representing-yourself
County: https://montcourt.oh.gov/ (forms are under attorney tab)

Note you will not find Republican US House Rep. Jim Jordan (OH-4) (James Daniel Jordan) in the Ohio Supreme Court attorney search as he never took the bar exam. Jim Jordan likes to act officious and pretend he is a legal authority, but it is well known he is an election denier, ignores the US Constitution and Congressional subpoenas, the rule of law, ethics, common decency, and such. I look forward to seeing what comes out of his OSU sex scandal deposition, which was actually taken last Friday.

Speaking of jackasses with legal degrees, Trump clinger-on Alina Habba (Republican) was finally shown the door at the US Attorney’s Office in New Jersey. Her 120 days are up, she was rejected, and has already been replaced. The Nation is better off not paying her salary. She does have convicted felon President Donald Trump (Republican) as a former client using her legal expertise, so there’s that.

Regardless of the topic, Trump is always mentioned by David & his Groupies. TIN HART: Isn’t that the #1 symptom of TDS? LMFAO
Fair enough, Elizabeth let’s talk about Obama and his treason and then….. do you think they’ll get jail time or the death sentence?
And yet, here you are Elizabeth/Potter offering nothing new or of substance. What do you think of Mike Foley, Judge Hein, David’s quo warranto, the county administrator’s raise, or the state of county finances?
Re Tim’s question, the answer is neither. Tim says he knows about Trump in the Epstein files, but it sounds dubious.

Did you guys see Trump’s Little Johnson shut down Congress early to escape the heat of the embarrassment and news frenzy? You would think they were in a kiss cam together.

TACO Trump and Mike Johnson are chickens who simply cannot do anything substantive without lies, backtracking, and cowardice, but I digress.
Melissa,
Both David and I have not had the best track record in the court system, I had one Judge say to me, please retain an attorney, you will get no help from the court and you will be judged like an attorney. This was said to me in 2022. This judge puts a disclaimer on his website that pro se litigants will be held to the same standards as attorneys. The court frowns on pro se litigants, the judges in these cases, treat myself and David like crap, plus the Justice system is geared toward attorneys representing people like myself and David, I hope I’m wrong and David succeeds but I’m just being honest because the Judge will treat David like crap because he represents himself, the Judge already has.. Attorneys usually represent litigants at the Common Pleas, appellate court levels.
Hey Tim! Is this what your were talking about about?

Herb, what judge(s) have the disclaimer/info you speak of?
Here is what Republican Judge Stacy Wall (Common Pleas Court of Miami County, Ohio) says about pro se litigants: “Pro se litigants are, according to the law, presumed to know the law and correct procedure (and must accept the results of their errors). The Court sits as an impartial arbiter, and all litigants will be treated equally.”
https://co.miami.oh.us/1034/Judge-Walls-Courtroom-Practices
David recently filmed the Kevin Wright hearing and wrote about his experience and the case, which was before Judge Wall. He posted an article about the post-conviction analysis, which is worth a read. It is an exemplar on how corrupt and corrosive partisan power morphs into a miscarriage of justice and perpetuates harm to victims, society, and the rule of law.

In other news, our corrupt and criminal US President Donald Trump and his sycophantic Attorney General Pam Bondi are trying to kill the disclosure of the Jeffrey Epstein documents to keep perversions with minor children involving Trump and Epstein out of the public light. This plan will ripen like a bag of trash over the Congressional summer break and re-emerge with the maggoty stench we expect it will have. Cover ups makes things worse.

Put this on your reading list, Elizabeth/Potter. Nothing Tulsi Gabbard says will compare.
Elizabeth/Potter Stewart:
“Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard provided documents to the Justice Department seeking a criminal investigation into Obama officials stemming from their assessment of Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election.
A coup would have involved efforts to keep Donald Trump from taking office in 2016. Former President Barack Obama did not do that.
Multiple investigations found that Russia interfered with the 2016 election but did not manipulate voting results.”

“…Hack and Leak
(U) The Committee found that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian
effort to hack computer networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president. Moscow’s intent was to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the U.S. democratic process…”

Melissa, the Judge is Andy Miller of Franklin County Common Pleas Court. I originally sued the Ohio Dems in 2022 to get my job back( an injunction) this bozo judge purposely delayed the case past the 2022 election then called the case moot, he gives to the Ohio Dems and Franklin County Dems. I will be campaigning against this judge in 2026 and telling voters what he did to me. I have transcripts that differ on what he says in his dismissal for mootness and what he said in 38 pages of text from a status conference. Just google him. He is the only judge that mentions pro se litigants and how he cuts them no slack. The Justice system is corrupt. This is why I support David exposing corruption no matter which political party is corrupt. I’ve seen enough corruption in the last year that makes anything in Dayton look amateur. Check out corruption in Cleveland, Ohio.
OK, so the DNC was never hacked by Russia. It was never hacked at all. Seth Rich and employee downloaded a bunch of emails that showed crimes in the Democratic Party and he sent those to Julian Assange who published them in wikileaks. The Democratic Party found out about it, Podesta and ordered a hit on Seth Rich. The reason the Democrats stick up for the illegal aliens is because they invited them in and gave them protection to be their henchman and to do their dirty work two gang members shot Seth, Rich and when they went to go get paid, they themselves were killed. Circle closed end of story.
Now, as far as Obama, he damn sure did disrupt the peaceful transition of power therefore Trump may get another eight years just on that fact alone wouldn’t that be nice? Maybe you should look up peaceful transfer of power so you can figure out what that means pretty sure it doesn’t mean make up stories and run with it. Obama is cooked. His whole staff is cooked. Finally justice for America. Can’t wait. I Told you & been telling you for nine years. But I am crazy…. Crazy Right maybe !
Get your popcorn folks this is gonna be good finally justice in America for political crooks !
Herb, I have to respectfully disagree with you again on your statement that “…the justice system is corrupt…”.
As you know all to well, sometimes litigants do not prevail in court. We should all work to root out and eradicate corruption in all forms, including in the judicial system, and I commend all who do so, including you.
That said, it appears online that you had your initial age discrimination case as a pro se litigant in county, appellate, and Ohio Supreme Court levels, but were not successful. Here is what Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor (a Republican) said in a six page decision. It contains a lot of analysis and case law regarding judges, political party affiliation, bias, prejudice, and the like, which I encourage everyone to read.
https://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/rod/docs/pdf/0/2022/2022-Ohio-4674.pdf
You are now continuing on with a second case that is currently active in Franklin County Common Pleas Court with a different judge.
The beauty of our American judicial system is that litigants can move on up through the various court levels to seek redress of their grievances. Stacking the courts with activist judges, dismantling the judicial framework of court system, or bombarding the courts with lawfare by vexatious litigants, serves no good purpose, harms American democracy and the rule of law, and damages innocent citizens who seek relief for alleged wrongs.
There are those who use the courts for their own nefarious ends. Some recent examples involving bad actors in the courts:

I think most people in America want to have a legal system they can go to and plead their case before an impartial judge and jury of our peers.
In fact, our U.S. Constitution guarantees it.
Whew boy, Tim, you sure seem triggered today. Q must have you working overtime.
I don’t think you can speak with any authority on the peaceful transfer of power when you are a convicted felon of Jan6 insurrection activities, but our felon President Trump pardoned your criminal ass so you’ve supposedly been redeemed.
Apparently, the poor Seth Rich family is having to endure more right wing fever dreams. Fortunately, the family won a seven figure settlement in 2020 in their lawsuit against the liars at Fox News so maybe this will be short-lived.
Here, I did your research for you. It’s okay to be wrong once in a while, but c’mon man. Educate yourself. This IS your government being attacked by Putin and the Russians:

The meat of the matter is here (900+ pages with a nice intro summary of findings):
https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/sites-default-files-documents-report-volume5.pdf
The fact you think the Justice system is not broke proves that you just don’t have the mental capabilities to understand what’s going on. More or less understand there’s a shadow government deep state you’ll never figure that out so we’re pretty much done here. I’ll just sit back and laugh the next couple months is Obama is getting his due Justice.
Tim, I disagree with your mischaracterization of my mental capabilities. You know nothing about that or of me.
As usual, you offer no facts. Time will tell who is reading the tea leaves correctly.
Herb, I stand corrected on something I said earlier. You don’t have an active case against the Ohio Democratic Party (ODP) and personnel anymore, which I thought was still ongoing.
From what I can see on the public docket/pleadings, you were never an employee of ODP and had a serious falling out with ODP over its withdrawal of a field rep contract offer ODP rescinded one day after tendering it to you. In this second lawsuit, you filed a motion to dismiss at the end of June 2025, which the case judge approved. Thus, your pro se litigation is concluded.
Pro se litigants use the court system just like any other. Both you and David have represented yourselves with mixed results. Fortunately, you have the courts to air your grievances and that should count for something in your lives.
I look forward to seeing what happens at the August 11th evidentiary hearing (and October 2025 trial) in the Mike Foley criminal case and in David’s quo warranto matter. We shall see what kind of justice is dispensed by these impartial arbiters all of whom are card carrying Republicans (which should matter naught).
Look how out of touch people like Melissa are.

Melissa,
Judge Andy Miller said to file with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission in his mootness argument in 2022, so I filed with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission in January 2024, one has 2 years to file an age discrimination complaint in the state of Ohio. Both Judges, Andy Miller and Julie Lynch are partisan democrat judges, both let me get to the end of the cases before sending me to the beginning. This is corruption. Judge Andy Miller never allowed discovery from the Ohio Dems and Judge Julie Lynch sanctioned me for asking similar questions of the Ohio Dems as they asked of me, both Ohio Democrats attorneys you can look them up online, provided no discovery and both judges let this occur. Judge Julie Lynch let me get all the way past the dismissal stage, to the pretrial where the Ohio Dems attorney didn’t show up, but the first Ohio Dems attorney was forced to withdraw from counsel by court order and instead of punishing them for trying to jail me, the judge extended the case for trial in March 2026, a 10 month delay. I filed a default Judgment motion in 2022 with Judge Andy Miller because the Ohio Dems attorney filed his answer 57 days late. Who did the Judge punish? Me. I dismissed the second case under thousands of dollars in sanctions threatened against me by judge Julie Lynch, including 1400 dollars from the second Ohio Dems counsel for a said “frivolous motion” for my motion to compel discovery.The Ohio Dems to this day have provided no discovery to me. I am writing a book on the Ohio Dems discrimination, what they did to David in 2022 when he ran for Congress, racism in the party( Ohio Dems helped mail out a Dayton City Commission racist mailer and systematic age discrimination in the party’s coordinated campaigns.) I have been denied jobs with the Ohio Dems since 2011 when I was age 45. Feel free to review the cases online. The Justice system does not work for pro se litigants and I stand behind that statement.
I understand what you say here, Herb, but that does not negate the fact you apparently did not successfully litigate your civil case. As you know, we don’t know each other. You have discussed your issues at length here on David’s blog, which is how I learned of them.
As you stated, your cases are public record (as are nearly all cases). I took some time to read the dockets, complaints, and some pleadings. At a minimum, a free consult with a licensed attorney for case viability, which any local bar association offers, would have helped you to see what you were up against before you got started.
I’m sorry you feel let down by the legal system. Talk to some attorney friends of yours and see if they can help you understand what went awry. I wish you luck as an author.
This is good counsel to keep around:

There may be a quid quo pro between Felon Trump and Felon Maxwell. Corruption abounds.
Melissa,
I have the biggest evidence of age discrimination in the Ohio Democratic Party. I think I would have won if it wasn’t for corrupt democrat judges. Over a period of 13 years(2011-2024) the amount of experience required for entry level field organizers and campaign management positions like Regional Organizing Directors has lessened considerably in posted Ohio Dems campaign job descriptions. No to minimal experience was needed to be a field organizer in 2024 for the Ohio Dems as they had a campaign bootcamp for applicants with no experience and even asked for retail experience. In 2011 at least 1-2 cycles of field organizer experience was needed, over that 11 year period experience was required, then recommended, then encouraged. These documents were part of the 2024 complaint if you can see it online. For Management positions a ROD position was 2 cycles needed in 2011-2012 and 0-1 cycles were needed by 2024 for a ROD position in management. All democratic state parties lessened the experience required to apply. This was done to open the applicant pool to older applicants like myself. One wouldn’t notice the experience over a year or two but over a decade it was noticeable. A cycle is 3-5 months or more before an election. I had 6 cycles as a Field Organizer and my only management position in campaigns was denied by the Ohio Dems. I don’t mind sharing this because the world needs to know. David needs to expose the Ohio Dems for racism, antisemitism and ageism.

Why is it MAGA Republicans pervert the legal system to further their criminal activities?
Herb, by your own admission in your own complaint, you were never an employee of the Ohio Democratic Party and you were Social Security disabled for a number of years. You also stated only two offers of employment were ever offered to you by ODP, which were rescinded. Last, there were ODP allegations of behavioral, shall we say, challenges.
You filed with the OCRC and had two civil suits in the common pleas court system. You alleged you had corrupt judges in your two cases, which you obviously still believe. The Ohio Supreme Court opined on your attempt to remove one of them, which was not in your favor.
https://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/rod/docs/pdf/0/2022/2022-Ohio-4674.pdf
I saw nothing that would lead me to believe you had corrupt Democrat case judges, but you are certainly entitled to your opinion. The legal system thought differently of your alleged age, antisemitic, and race claims.
Your idea to write a memoir of your political party experiences may be your best remedy or just forget it altogether and chalk it up to a difficult employment path. You could retain an attorney to represent you, but it may already be too late for a refile as your statute of limitations may have expired. You may have shot your wad with those two pro se cases. Seek a proper legal opinion.
You previously discussed the ODP mailers against Mrs. Shenise Turner-Sloss and Rev. Darryl Fairchild, which involved public apologies from ODP and Mark Owens, Montgomery County Democratic Party Chair.
https://ohiodems.org/ohio-democratic-party-statement-on-dayton-mailings-in-violation-of-odp-policies/
Do you know who was the ODP staffer who approved those mailers with Chairman Owens?
https://www.daytondailynews.com/local/democratic-executive-director-resigns-over-party-mailers-attacking-city-commission-candidates/GHZRAWPK2JB2FKIEO3CCWRO6QI/
Melissa, I was not ever an employee of the ODP, you are correct but what firm ever keeps applicant records for well over a decade? Normal resume and files are kept on applicants for 1-3 years. Not 11-13 years, (2011-2022, 2024) usual record keeping for employees (not applicants) is 6-8 years. I would have won my case because that policy of keeping records for that long is a disparate impact policy against a person age 40 and older. Behavior doesn’t matter, if that file was destroyed in 2015, for instance or even as late as 2020, that record would have not existed. Then, as you can read from David’s blog, the ODP uses “behavior” to discriminate. The ODP did the same to David in 2022, David is older than me, 2 50 something white males that the ODP used behavior as a pretext for age discrimination. If you defend the ODP against me, you must do the same against David, whom they accused David of several things and refused to fund him, endorse him because of his behavior. The Ohio Dems are not the behavior police. Combine that with the 12 Regional Organizing Directors who the ODP listed on Twitter/X in 2022, I was able to go to LinkedIn and print out their biographies, all were between ages 22-35. I submitted those with my complaint. In order to prove age discrimination one must have either an age discrimination policy(record keeping outside the norm) hire younger than 40, disparate impact and disparate treatment. The treatment is hiring someone 30 years younger than myself to replace me. The pretext is what they did to David, mirrors me. In 2011, they hired me verbally and within a day hired someone else and I got upset, that’s the behavior issue. You’re also forgetting I made it past the dismissal stage to a pre trial. How is that a loss?
