Ed Felien responds: I am amazed by your letter. How did you learn how to write without learning how to read? Did you read the article, “Did the FBI target Dean?” or did you get help to read the title? If you would have read the article you might have argued your point more intelligently.

Dean took $5,000 from Carlson as a donation to a legal defense fund. He told the primary beneficiary of that fund, the lawyer, that he had the money. He told the treasurer of that fund that he had the money. If he was intending to line his pockets, why would he announce he got a donation?

If he had taken the money and voted favorably on a zoning issue, then it might be possible to suggest there was a quid pro quo. But Dean actually voted against Carlson’s project because he didn’t think it was in the best interests of the people of his ward. There was no quid pro quo. Dean did not take money in exchange for a vote on a developer’s project. And, according to the Hobbs Act, there must be absolute proof of a quid pro quo if an elected official is receiving money from someone for a third party or organization. Dean was railroaded and targeted because he was a leftist. He was stalked for more than three years, and, when they couldn’t pin anything on him, they set him up.
