An exclusive story in Republican Magazine - www.duplicity.us When party members complained about this practice, pressure was put on them to stop their criticism. In December of 2017, Case no. CACE-17-019487 was filed in the Seventh Judicial Court of Broward County by a prominent attorney and former chairman of the Republican Party of Broward County. The case alleges that an unknown “John Doe” owned a website that threatened his family and clients by publishing false and defamatory statements. Although the defendant is identified only as “John Doe,” the Yahoo email account associated with the case is registered to BREC Treasurer Jeff Brown.
Further threats were made to other prominent Republicans and their families in Broward, including the former legal counsel to BREC. This attorney was forced to resign from the board as well as from BREC itself, to protect his family from potential harm. In addition, my source for most of this information has also experienced the wrath of BREC’s board of directors.
