Meet The Griffin Crime Family

I wondered what sort of critter had raised Couy Griffin, disgraced former Otero County Commissioner. At first I thought I would find a jackal. Instead I found the head of the Griffin Crime Family, Catron County Magistrate Judge Susan E. Griffin. Tonight I will take you on a little journey through some of the facts that will explain why they won’t sue me for calling Susan a criminal that should be removed from the bench. Come on while I shine a little light on this nest of cockroaches.

The subject of tonight’s adventure is a small shack in the desert, fraud, perjury and a game of Mommy Hide My Assets. Let us start with the hide the assets business. Shortly after the 10th Circuit shot down Couy Griffin’s last chance at avoiding substantial fines for running an unregistered PAC Couy transferred his sole asset subject to execution – a rental property – to his mommy – for the sole purpose of attempting to hide that asset. An examination of police reports and social media demonstrates Couy consistently refers to “his property” only calling it his momma’s for the purpose of enraging his social media following.

So far we have a sitting Magistrate conspiring with her son to defraud the state and obstruct justice. That is just the beginning for Ma Griffin and her J6 probationer son. More recently these 2 swindlers, joined by Couy’s Ex, found a way to bilk a worker out of wages and renege on his contract with this worker. Part of the agreement between Couy Griffin was room and board during the conduct of the work. That meant living in an unlivable construction site. When it came time to do the right thing and compensate the worker Susan E. Griffin filles suit in Otero County Magistrate Court claiming that the worker was a squatter that needed removed. In one of her rambling filings she claims to have been unaware worker was residing there while several social media videos clearly show that Couy Griffin knew. Getting the picture?

In her suit in Magistrate Susan E. Griffin spends 80% of her writing on character attacks on the worker based on second and third hand hearsay offering little factual basis to treat the worker as a squatter rather than a tenant which he clearly is if they are not paying him cash for his work and is living on the premises. She simply claims she knew nothing. After filing her action she has paid a person, Chris Lord, to harass the worker both in person and online clicking likes on death threat posts directed towards the worker. This is all documented in the dozen or so police reports over as many days.

In a bizarre twist after filing her action in Otero Magistrate Susan Griffin served another 3 day eviction notice alleging a different genesis of the action. I will keep following this to see what the Griffins might be up to next.

Basically Couy Griffin lured this worker across the country with promises of work and instead gets the work done, refuses to pay even minimum wage and now his momma, who is nominal owner due to the obstruction of justice, threatens to have the sheriff make him homeless. In the process Couy Griffin got himself arrested for extrajudicial eviction tactics on behalf of the property owner, his mommy. Sorting out who perpetrated which crimes I will leave that to our ever vigilant 12th Judicial District Attorney Scot Key.

Couy has his enablers in the community and it is time for them to be called out as well, but I will leave you in suspense till next time.
