Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby has already taken steps to recuse himself from being the prosecuting attorney in the possible case against former Gov. Mike Easley.
Read Willoughby's e-mail message
Willoughby tells NBC-17 News that an email has already been sent to the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts to have District Attorney Bill Kenerly take over the case. Kenerly, who presides over District 19c or Rowan County, has agreed to take over the case. It is now up to the Administrative Office of Courts to sign off on the switch.
The State Board of Elections on Friday ordered former Gov. Mike Easley's campaign committee to pay a total penalty of $100,000: $60,000 for unreported flights and $40,000 for the cost of the investigation. A criminal probe has been requested by the Wake County District Attorney's Office.
The N.C. Democratic Party will also be fined $9,000 solicited by the Easley campaign.
"It has been obvious to this board that sometimes candidates do not accept sufficient ownership and responsibility of their campaigns," said Larry Leake, chairman of the State Board Of Elections.
The unanimous State Board of Elections decision came after four days of hearings into the conduct of Easley, a two-term Democrat who left office in January, and the state Democratic Party.
The board found evidence that campaign finance laws were violated, and that evidence was sent to the Wake County district attorney, board Chairman Larry Leake said.
The board also told the Easley campaign to give up the cost of the flights - $60,000 - and to reimburse the elections board $40,000 for its investigation.
Easley attorney Thomas Hicks said after the hearing his client got what he wanted. In an unusual closing argument Thursday, Hicks said prosecutors would have more resources to examine whether criminal charges are necessary.
"When I go to a tribunal and ask for it and they give me what I want, that makes me happy," Hicks told reporters Friday. However, he repeated his claim that Easley has done nothing illegal.
The party also was ordered to forfeit $9,000 in campaign funds for two donations solicited by the Easley campaign, but the board didn't include the party in its request to examine potential charges.
Much of the case against Easley hinged on the testimony of one-time political ally McQueen Campbell, the former chairman of the trustees board at North Carolina State University.
Campbell, who piloted Easley on campaign flights going back to 1999, testified Easley suggested that he file invoices for flights to get reimbursed for repairs to Easley's Raleigh home that Campbell said reached $11,000.
Easley, who was attorney general for eight years before being elected governor in 2000, testified that he never told Campbell to falsify invoices, nor did he imply Campbell should. Campbell testified he filed two bogus invoices with Easley's campaign.
Campbell testified he hadn't been reimbursed for scores of campaign-related flights, which he valued at nearly $88,000, that the campaign never reported. But Easley said Campbell told him he had been reimbursed.
The activities of Campbell and Easley also have gotten the attention of federal prosecutors, and a grand jury has been calling witnesses to testify about a coastal subdivision where Easley and his wife purchased a lot and the hiring of former first lady Mary Easley at N.C. State University.
THURSDAY
The personal attorney for former North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley has made an unusual request to the State Board of Elections - please send Easley's case to prosecutors if necessary.
Thomas Hicks gave closing statements Thursday to the board,which is investigating Easley's campaign committee and the state Democratic Party.
Hicks said Easley told him to ask board members to send the case to a prosecutor if there are questions whether laws were violated. Hicks said otherwise the public will believe "Easley has slipped one over on the board."
Easley and political ally McQueen Campbell gave different testimony this week about campaign-related flights Campbell piloted for Easley.
The board also could issue fines or exonerate the party and the committee.
THURSDAY'S TESTIMONY
Former North Carolina Democratic Party executive director Scott Falmlen testifies at the State Board of Elections investigative hearing into former Gov. Mike Easley's campaign spending.
Board members are questioning Falmlen about the state party's fundraising efforts. In 2000, Easley contributed $418,000 to what's called a coordinated campaign, a get out the vote effort to elect Democrats on the ticket. Again in 2004 Easley contributed half a million. At issue is whether or not a special fund existed so the Easley campaign could get around campaign contribution limits and pay expenses. Easley contributors testified Tuesday they believed their donations to the Democratic party would go to cover Easley's expenses.
Falmlen testified no corporate contributions made to the party were ever sent to the Easley campaign.
The party did have a "Governor's Fund" in 2000 which Falmlen says was a source code to track how much the Easley campaign raised in party donations to credit Easley's fundriasing committment to the coordinated campaign of $418,000.
Falmlen testified he retained control of party money and never spoke with Easley or his campaign leaders about designating a specific amount of money for Easley's gubenratorial campaign.
WEDNESDAY'S TESTIMONY
Easley became the first governor to testify at a State Board of Elections hearing.
Easley says flight invoices filed by longtime family friend McQueen Campbell had nothing to do with defraying the cost of repairs to his Raleigh home.
This testimony counters testimony Campbell made under oath Monday.
Campbell testified that Easley suggested Campbell get reimbursed for $11,000 in home repairs he paid on Easley's home in 2004 by filing aircraft invoices with Easley's campaign.
"I didn't express he should do it. I didn't tell him to send it. I didn't indicate for him to do that. It never, ever happened," declared Easley.
The former governor says he told Campbell in 2005 to file an invoice with the campaign as an advance for campaign flights.
"I think that someone is probably not telling the truth," said North Carolina Elections Board Chairman Larry Leake.
It is the board's job to get to the truth.
Meanwhile, State election board members want to hear from a former North Carolina Democratic Party leader before ruling whether the party or ex-Gov. Mike Easley's campaign broke the law.
Former party executive director Scott Falmlen will probably be the last witness called Thursday at a State Board of Elections investigative hearing.
Falmlen likely will be questioned about party fundraising and whether the Easley campaign had authority over hundreds of thousands of dollars it raised on the party's behalf.
Party attorneys have said Falmlen has control of the money, some of which was designed to help all Democratic candidates and get-out-the-vote efforts.
But some donors well connected to Easley testified this week they believed their party donations would go to pay Easley campaign expenses.
Easley left the Executive Mansion in January after eight years in office but has been dogged since his departure by investigations into his travel, his campaign finances and his wife's job.
"People in campaigns will use money like monopoly money," testified Easley as he described how he would get irritated with money spent during his campaigns.
The board chairman questioned Easley about his campaign's lease arrangement with car dealer Robert Bleecker.
Easley testified the campaign received invoices from Bleecker from 1999 and 2000, but did not receive invoices for any vehicle from 2003 and on.
Eventually, Easley and the campaign paid $22,000 for the vehicle.
TUESDAY'S TESTIMONY
Advisers who once helped former Gov. Mike Easley on fundraising told state election officials Tuesday there was no scheme to funnel money the campaign raised for the state Democratic Party back to Easley's committee to avoid individual caps on giving.
One-time campaign treasurer Dave Horne and finance director Michael Hayden testified in the State Board of Elections probe into Easley's campaign and the party, aiming the spotlight on campaign rules that allow state parties to give and receive big donations.
State law allows a donor to give unlimited money to a party, but only as much as $4,000 to an individual candidate per election. The party can, in turn, parcel out money to candidates as it chooses. However, it would be illegal for the party to turn over a donation to a candidate solely because the donor specified which candidate should receive the money.
Horne told the board he knew of no plan whereby donations by Easley supporters to the party would be funneled back to Easley's 2000 or 2004 gubernatorial bids, even though the board presented internal Easley campaign documents suggesting that was considered.
Some key fundraisers for Easley in Wilmington testified Monday that Easley campaign officials had told them to make donations to the party - apparently to a "special account" to cover Easley campaign expenses - after they had reached their $4,000 limit on giving to his election bid.
Gary Allen, a Charlotte-area developer now living in Florida, testified Tuesday he couldn't remember the details surrounding why he gave a $50,000 check to the state Democratic Party in advance of the 2004 election. Allen was a business associate of Easley fundraiser Lanny Wilson.
"I got the impression that the Democratic Party would look out for its key Democrats and Easley would benefit from that in some way," Allen said.
Horne, who as treasurer filed campaign reports for Easley's campaigns while attorney general and governor until 2006, said he wasn't aware of a special party account dedicated to Easley but that Easley had agreed to raise money for the party that would be used to promote all Democratic candidates.
Then-party executive director Scott Falmlen had the authority over the money received from people who were convinced to donate by Easley's campaign, according to Horne.
"Mr. Falmlen made very clear to me and other members of our campaign that money raised for the Democratic Party would be spent as the Democratic Party decided it should be spent," Horne testified. "We knew that is the law."
Party attorney Jim Cooney presented documents showing any "special account" actually was money that Easley was asked to raise on behalf of the party's "coordinated campaign" for get-out-the-vote efforts and other combined party activities.
Critics of the unlimited party contributions call it a "loophole" used by donors and legislative leaders to get large donations - hundreds of thousands of dollars in some cases - to targeted candidates.
"It's a loophole that should be closed," Joe Sinsheimer, a Democratic political consultant, said during a break in the hearing.
The five-member, quasi-judicial elections board could issue fines or reprimands, refer the case to a district attorney for criminal charges, or exonerate the party and The Mike Easley Committee.
Easley was likely to be called to testify Wednesday, board Chairman Larry Leake said after Tuesday's hearing adjourned.
Easley likely would face questions about testimony Monday by political ally McQueen Campbell, who said Easley suggested that he file invoices on unreported airplane flights he gave to Easley to pay for some home repairs Campbell took care of on the governor's home. Campbell said he filed two false invoices totaling $11,000, which would be illegal. Easley's personal attorney has said Easley wouldn't tell Campbell to violate election laws.
On Tuesday, the board presented to Horne documents identified as fundraising strategies written by then-Easley campaign officials suggesting that the party take larger advantage of part contributions.
"In theory, we could move any or all expenditures from our campaign to the (state party) and pay for them with contributions to the (party) unhindered by the $4,000 contribution limit," then-Easley campaign manager Jay Reiff wrote in a May 2000 memo to Horne.
Donors might be displeased that they wouldn't get public credit from Easley for giving to the party, Reiff wrote, but, "those limits considered, running a portion of our expenses through the (party) is advantageous."
A subpoena has been issued for Reiff but it has not been served in part because he lives in Virginia, according to Leake.
Hayden, who worked for Easley for the 2004 campaign, also said he didn't recall writing a 2003 campaign strategy memo that advised the campaign could avoid giving limits by having donors give to other political organizations that support Easley.
Hayden added: "I would never break the law intentionally."
MONDAY'S TESTIMONY
By Kim Genardo, NBC 17 News
Longtime political ally McQueen Campbell testified that former Gov. Mike Easley told him to submit bills for home repairs as travel expenses during day one of the State Board of Elections criminal investigation.
Campbell testified before the board Monday that he oversaw repair work totalling more than $11,000 at one of the Easley's homes.
Campbell said he paid for the repairs, but when he asked for reimbursement, the governor instructed him to bill it to the campaign as "unbilled flights." McQueen also said he had flown Easley in one of his private planes dozens of times since 1999 and was not paid for all of the flights.
But Campbell never issued invoiced to Easley's campaign committee.
Easley's attorney Thomas Hicks also questioned Campbell over making too many assumptions.
"The governor never under any circumstances authorized him to submit a fake invoice . He did not do that, he would not do that. He's offended by the allegation someone things he would," said Hicks
Fayetteville car dealer Robert Bleecker also testified before the board on Monday regarding an SUV used by the Easley family between 2002-2009. He said the car was treated as a leased vehicle, but no payments were made until he requested payment directly from the Easleys in March 2009. Bleecker said in addition to a $6,900 payment from Mary Easley, which he received in March, he also received a total of $16,000 to cover usage fees and taxes on the vehicle. The larger payment was received in April 2009 in two checks - one from Easley and one from the Easley campaign.
The board has subpoenaed 30 people in connection with the campaign finance hearing, including Easley himself. Besides Easley, former state Democratic Chairman Jerry Meek and Captain Alan Melvin -- the highway patrol officer who ran Easley's security detail -- are among those called to testify.
Hicks is representing Easley, but the Easley Campaign Committee is represented by John Wallace and David Long. A third legal team is representing the North Carolina Democratic Party.
The five member State Board of Elections is made up of three Democrats and two Republicans. They will scrutinize Easley's campaign financing, as well as how money from the state Democratic Party was spent on his campaign.
The former governor did not initially report using a private plane or a car loaned to his son.
Back in September, the Mike Easley Committee sent a statement to NBC-17 stating the group had been cooperating with the investigation.
Easley Committee attorney John Wallace said, "The Easley Committee has provided over 16 years worth of committee records to the board for its review and has responded to questions from the board's staff."
The North Carolina Democratic Party became part of the investigation when it forfeited more than $24,000 from donors who acknowledged giving Easley private flights.
Also last September, the current chair of the state Democratic Party released a statement saying, "We support the board of elections and welcome a full, open, and fair hearing to determine the facts as expeditiously as possible."
If the board finds that Mike Easley violated campaign laws, it could order him to pay a fine and could refer the case to the district attorney for a criminal charges.
Political watchdog Joe Sinsheimer said this unique process of a State Board of Elections hearing will give the public a whole new view into politics.
"We're going to have some of the governor's closest friends testifying," he said. "We don't know whether they're going to testify for or against him."
Sinsheimer believes former N.C. State University Board of Trustees Chairman McQueen Campbell could be a crucial witness.
Campbell admitted flying Easley in his private plane, and was also involved in a deal that landed Easley some property on the coast.
"Were there any quid pro quos, or were there any favors passed back to McQueen Campbell in return for him becoming basically a personal taxi service for Governor Easley?" Sinsheimer said.

Does this mean that if Colon was my friend and did something wrong that he would cover for me as long as the media didnt get a hold of it. It should not matter that Easley is a friend. Can he not be honest as he is suppose to be and handle the case at hand by the law. I say throw him out of office if he can't prosecute his friends. How many of his friends has he helped out already and took a back seat too. This is normal I guess. I want him to be my friend too.

NC Justus System Controlled by Criminals They targeted Ex-Senator Ty Harold because he posited my messages on his website They had Senator Vernon Malone Murdered because he began his own investigation why his offices was used with out his knowledge to set me up. They falsified FTA warrant against me. Held phony court trials. Ignored the law and rulings of a higher court. Corrupt any Judge they need too. Have all the law enforcement agency turn there heads to their criminal activities. That’s how they get control the Justus System in NC and do as they please.

It's better for them to continue to hide behind others like the corrupt, criminal Cowards they are. Senator, Vernon Malone didn't die from NATURAL COURSES Ex-Attorney General Lawyer Jeffery R. Edwards and his Lover Attorney General Roy Cooper, had the Senator taken out! Preventing him from exposing there corrupt and criminal activities. Sen. Malone was probably investigating crimes the two lawyers have committed against me and others. Sen. Malone was upset at having been corrupted and used by the Attorney General and Jeffery R. Edwards. SENATOR VERNON MALONE was MURDERED In May of 2008, I went to Sen. Malone's offices to file a complaint and ask for his help. He wasn't there, so I scheduled an appointment with his Secretary Miss Bonnie. She set up a meeting time for me to return to covey my complaints. Because the Attorney General Offices has illegal tracking device on my car; they knew I was seeking help from The Senator. The Attorney General then had Miss Bonnie set up a meeting with an impostor, instead of Senator Malone. Miss Bonnie did as she was told and the Senator had no knowledge of The situation. For the majority of the year Senator's and Representatives are not in there offices. I immediately added the crime and deceit to my complaints to the F.B.I.,Raleigh Police Internal Affairs.S.B.I.and numerous news organization. For years they have been ignoring crimes committed by Ex-Attorney General Lawyer Jeffery R.Edwards and Attorney General Roy Cooper. A few months later I was able to intercept Senator Malone on his way to Governor Purdue's Inauguration. I gave him papers directly that described my situation. Some of the same papers I gave to Representative Dabbra Ross and others Senators. Senator Malone now had knowledge of crimes being committed by the Attorney General and Edwards. I believe the Senator became upset when he learned his offices was used in a deceitful way and he became part of there corruption. That's when the Senator began his own investigation of crimes and corruption by lawyers Edwards and Roy Cooper. The Senator found out the truth about the corrupting of state judges, police break-ins, my poisoning, infection and other crimes committed by the Ex-Attorney General Lawyer Jeffery R. Edwards and Attorney General Roy Cooper. That's when Senator Malone had to be disposed of. An investigation is the last thing the Attorney General Offices wants to happen. That's way there so good at covering up there wrong doings. President Obama: I expect this isn't a matter you would won't people calling on you to resolve. However, THE GOOD OLD BOYS: down here in Raleigh North Carolina are experts at covering up there criminal activity. A Senator Vernon Malone was MURDERED here in Raleigh by Ex-Attorney General Lawyer Jeffery R. Edwards; with help from Attorney General Roy Cooper. The Senator didn't die from natural courses. The Attorney General instructed the cornier to declare the Senator died of natural cause so there wouldn't be an autopsy. Which would reveal the chemical used to stop the Senator's heart but show no effects. When you have the top man in the Justus System involved in a murder, you better have definitive proof, which I don't. That means no law enforcement agency in the state will investigates what I feel to be true. These two cowards have committed so many crimes against me even with out a murder charge they would both serve time for there action. The Eye Witnesses and evidence are all there and available for the minimal of investigation to reveal. No one is going to stick there neck out on my accusations and completes. For years, Edwards has been putting out lies about me. Know he had to commit MURDER to keep a Senator quit and stop he's investigation of Edwards and Cooper. Know others are investigating them behind the since. They don't know who but I can feel a change in the air. The Attorney General still has the entire Justus System, Government and GOOD OLD BOY citizens to hide behind. Mr. President: a Senator has been MURDER for the dimmest of original reasons. A peace of crap A. G. Lawyer couldn't get his way and set off a nine year vendetta and one dead SENATOR ! Please Mr. President... review this file and authorize a full investigation.

SENATOR VERNON MALONE was MURDERED In May of 2008, I went to Sen. Malone's offices to file a complaint and ask for his help. He wasn't there, so I scheduled an appointment with his Secretary Miss Bonnie. She set up a meeting time for me to return to covey my complaints. Because the Attorney General Offices has illegal tracking device on my car; they knew I was seeking help from The Senator. The Attorney General then had Miss Bonnie set up a meeting with an impostor, instead of Senator Malone. Miss Bonnie did as she was told and the Senator had no knowledge of The situation. For the majority of the year Senator's and Representatives are not in there offices. I immediately added the crime and deceit to my complaints to the F.B.I.,Raleigh Police Internal Affairs.S.B.I.and numerous news organization. For years they have been ignoring crimes committed by Ex-Attorney General Lawyer Jeffery R.Edwards and Attorney General Roy Cooper. A few months later I was able to intercept Senator Malone on his way to Governor Purdue's Inauguration. I gave him papers directly that described my situation. Some of the same papers I gave to Representative Dabbra Ross and others Senators. Senator Malone now had knowledge of crimes being committed by the Attorney General and Edwards. I believe the Senator became upset when he learned his offices was used in a deceitful way and he became part of there corruption. That's when the Senator began his own investigation of crimes and corruption by lawyers Edwards and Roy Cooper. The Senator found out the truth about the corrupting of state judges, police break-ins, my poisoning, infection and other crimes committed by the Ex-Attorney General Lawyer Jeffery R. Edwards and Attorney General Roy Cooper. That's when Senator Malone had to be disposed of. An investigation is the last thing the Attorney General Offices wants to happen. That's way there so good at covering up there wrong doings. President Obama: I expect this isn't a matter you would won't people calling on you to resolve. However, THE GOOD OLD BOYS: down here in Raleigh North Carolina are experts at covering up there criminal activity. A Senator Vernon Malone was MURDERED here in Raleigh by Ex-Attorney General Lawyer Jeffery R. Edwards; with help from Attorney General Roy Cooper. The Senator didn't die from natural courses. The Attorney General instructed the cornier to declare the Senator died of natural cause so there wouldn't be an autopsy. Which would reveal the chemical used to stop the Senator's heart but show no effects. When you have the top man in the Justus System involved in a murder, you better have definitive proof, which I don't. That means no law enforcement agency in the state will investigates what I feel to be true. These two cowards have committed so many crimes against me even with out a murder charge they would both serve time for there action. The Eye Witnesses and evidence are all there and available for the minimal of investigation to reveal. No one is going to stick there neck out on my accusations and completes. For years, Edwards has been putting out lies about me. Know he had to commit MURDER to keep a Senator quit and stop he's investigation of Edwards and Cooper. Know others are investigating them behind the since. They don't know who but I can feel a change in the air. The Attorney General still has the entire Justus System, Government and GOOD OLD BOY citizens to hide behind. Mr. President: a Senator has been MURDER for the dimmest of original reasons. A peace of crap A. G. Lawyer couldn't get his way and set off a nine year vendetta and one dead SENATOR ! Please Mr. President... review this file and authorize a full investigation.

Will this investigation also cover Easley's abuse of power in helping his wife get her lucrative job at NC State?
By Mike Peace on 10/24 07:58 AM
I gave Mike Easley more credit for being a person of decency and integrity than it's appearing that he deserved. All of these recent disclosures of secret and undisclosed information that involved his time in office is troubling at best and infuriating at worst. I believe that the one thing that makes this, yet another public/political scandal, so sickening, is the hyprocrisy of it all. Our public leaders tend to present an honest and forthright public image to get want they want, but privately and/or out of the sight of public scrutiny, these brazen and unrepentant excuses for leaders are demonstrating their true criminal and wicked hearts. As a result they are now being caught in mind boggling scandals, so much so that the public's conscience is no longer as shocked as it used to be. Undoubtedly, corruption is on every level of our society. Also undoubtedly, corruption of every kind has been going on throughtout the history of mankind. The difference now is that more corruption is being revealed and exposed. A very wise individual once said "those things done in the dark will be put on the roof top for all to see". More people should live by this persuasion: If you are going to be a bum, just be one, both publicly and privately; don't try to create a public image of being a clean cloth when in fact, you are nothing more than a bacteria laden filthy rag. Unfortunately for those now being exposed, they can't honestly say that their exposure is tantamount to being treated unfairly. They brought these consequences upon themselves. Sooner or later everyone will reap what he or she sows. Apparently, it's now Mr. Easley's turn.
