IN an apparent sudden change
of heart, former attorney general Douglas Moylan told newly-installed
AG Alicia Limtiaco that he can make himself available to his successor
giving his email and saying that his number is in the phonebook.
Aside from offering his availability to Limtiaco, Moylan also wished the
new AG good luck and a Happy New Year.
He, however, reminded Limtiaco to keep political interference and corrupt
public officials away from influencing her duty as the attorney general.
Moylan through a two-page letter also shared his thoughts to his successor
saying that the AG position may become the loneliest job she will ever
love.
Given the level of corruption which catalyzed this position to become
elected, keeping corruption out of the government of Guam for the next
four years will be a full time and unpopular task ahead of you if you
choose to continue what I started in 2003, Moylan said.
The first elected AG reminded Limtiaco that his staff and himself prevailed
in three of the four government corruption criminal trials they pursued
for the last four years and have convicted over 25 corrupt government
officials.
He said that over 4,000 criminal convictions in the General Crimes Division
were secured and over $2 million were collected in child support enforcement
than the previous AG administration.
Moylan and his deputy AG Joseph Guthrie provided Limtiaco a list of the
most important cases.
The outgoing Moylan administration also listed the pending government
corruption cases, criminal cases, civil and public interest cases.
Under the criminal case against Robert L. Crisostomo and Thomas J. Crisostomo,
Moylan and Guthrie specified that both defendants sisters are close
to newly installed deputy attorney general Alberto Tolentinos wife.
The list also mentioned that Tolentino is a political supporter of Limtiaco.
Moylan hoped that Limtiaco continues the hard work which he said he and
the prosecutors, investigators, support staff began during his first four
years.
Lastly, he told Limtiaco to continue the fight on the bond case saying
that it is the heart of the corruption of government officials breaking
the law and abusing taxpayers monies and credit.
