Harold Knowles was asked by the town of Gretna to step down as their city attorney...which he did. He resigned, after pressure, as general counsel of the FAMU Foundation and then was fired by the Leon County Commission. As a complete demise...not just yet but a lot of damage done for just &#039;allegations&#039;.]]></description>

Ms Little emotional rants due to family relationship with the knowles camp. If comments focus on anyone else, she would have kept her fragile emotions in check!  And on the subject of last names, why did she elect to use her maiden name than her married name?  Because it&#039;s was an option to do so!]]></description>

Snydeley, I sincerely hope your theory about Mr. Knowles’ is correct and he suddenly found a conscience and a very sharp memory once the FBI started grilling him in Georgia.   Placing a hot seat under the posterior of a suspect (along with hinting that his-her cooperation may lead to a lighter sentence) is a classic law enforcement method of obtaining solid information about any other suspects you’re interested in.  

As I’ve said before here, my hope is that the FBI’s evidence is so plentiful and iron-clad on the COT corruption that serious punishment is handed to all those found guilty.   Hopefully that will be enough to keep any future COT and Leon County officials in line with the law, the City and County Charters, and the voters.   I also hope the case may be big enough to finally get the state of FL to pay attention, and write clear and strict legislation on what legal restrictions all Florida City and County officials must follow.   Violating a Florida state regulation or law as well as a city law or city charter regulation would allow the state to prosecute when needed.  For all I know, maybe those state laws are already on the books - but if so, they sure aren&#039;t having much effect here in Tallahassee.]]></description>

I&#039;ve often felt from following the timeline that Knowles in the middle Georgia investigation &quot;sang like a canary&quot; giving up much of the dirt that made it clear to the FBI they needed to open the Tallahassee investigation.
Honest Tallahassee/Leon County citizens may owe Knowles a big thank you for giving up the dirt on his Tallahassee &quot;friends&quot; to try and save his butt.

To Chrystle Little there are many legitimate reasons one may choose not to use a real name. Some may work for a local government being investigated and would be foolish to put their real names out here. 
I do not feel that a real/fake name should de-legitimise another person&#039;s thoughts. Good for you if you feel you should use your real name.]]></description>

Basic logic that ol&#039; Harold is likely singing like a choir as part of a plea deal. If he has damaging info on the Honeywell/Smart Meters or Deferred Comp schemes, he has lots of leverage.
That&#039;s &quot;crystal&quot; clear!]]></description>
