FBI agent interferes in Ann "The Man" Coulter vote falsification case |

FBI agent steps into Coulter voting case
By Jose Lambiet
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Conservative pundit Ann Coulter has been cleared of allegations that
she falsified her Palm Beach County voter's registration and voted
illegally — this, after a high-level FBI agent made unsolicited phone
calls to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office to vouch for Coulter.
The caller wasn't just any G-man.
According to PBSO documents, he was Supervisory Special Agent Jim
Fitzgerald, of the FBI Academy's Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico,
Va. — the closest reality gets to the serial-killer catchers on CBS'
Criminal Minds.
So why would an FBI profiler who went after the Unabomber take time
from his busy day to even think about a municipal election snafu?
Fitzgerald is mum.
But when the bureau heard about this from Page Two, it immediately
launched an internal review of the agent's involvement.
"We're looking into it," bureau spokeswoman Ann Todd said.
She declined to say whether Fitzgerald acted on his personal behalf or
as an FBI agent or on someone else's orders.
County Supervisor of Elections Arthur Anderson, meanwhile, decried
what he called "FBI intrusion."
He referred the Coulter case to PBSO after poll worker Jim Whited
originally reported the incident.
"This doesn't bode well in terms of the public's impression that
celebrities receive preferential treatment," Anderson said.
"I'm curious about how anyone can justify the FBI's intrusion."
First-year Detective Kristine Villa in December was assigned the job
of investigating whether Coulter committed a felony in February 2006,
when she cast her ballot in the wrong precinct in a Palm Beach
election after registering to an address that wasn't hers.
Villa's report leaves the clear impression that Coulter's attorney,
Miami's Marcos Jimenez, stonewalled Villa for five months — at times
agreeing to make Coulter available, at others reneging, often not
returning calls promptly or claiming not to be able to reach his
client.
But in one conversation with Villa, the White House-connected Jimenez
said Coulter simply received bad advice from a previous lawyer when,
in March 2005, she first moved into her $1.8 million home on Seabreeze
Avenue.
He said Coulter may have put the wrong address on record to protect
herself from a stalker.
Stalker?
Enter Fitzgerald, who spoke with Villa by phone Jan. 18.
He confirmed "he has been working a stalking incident" involving the
best-selling author.
He added that "he did not have information relating to the allegations
of voting improprieties nor did he have any intention to sway the
outcome" of Villa's investigation.
Still, Villa closed the probe April 12 without interviewing Coulter; a
Realtor, whose Indian Road address Coulter used; or neighbors of
Coulter's Seabreeze homestead.
"We stand by our detective's work," PBSO spokesman Paul Miller said.
"Based on the nature of the allegations, she did as much as she
could."
Miller said Villa, who last month returned to uniformed detail at Palm
Beach International Airport, based her decision to clear Coulter on
poll worker Whited's testimony.
Whited, a staunch Republican who once ran for West Palm Beach mayor,
told Page Two last year that Coulter dashed out of his polling place
when he asked her to write a change of address.
He later bragged on a radio show that he witnessed her committing a
felony.
To Villa three months ago, however, Whited said Coulter may have
misunderstood him and that he may have had a hand in her voting in the
wrong precinct.
Anderson, whose office has been under fire for voting glitches, said
he'll mull Villa's report before deciding whether he'll ask the
Florida Department of Law Enforcement to step in.
As for Coulter's alleged stalker, check this out:
Fitzgerald identified him as conservative Christian, rabid
anti-Coulter blogger Dan Borchers of coulterwatch.com.
Borchers said he remembers talking to two FBI agents about stalking
accusations — in 1998.
"They stayed for five minutes," he said, "told me to be careful not to
scare Ann Coulter. She hollers stalker at anybody who opposes her."
Fitzgerald told Villa that the supposed Borchers probe led to no
arrest and he saw no reason why Coulter's address should remain
secret.

Fitzgerald is a customer of the Scientology corporation. He's on
a couple of their published "completion lists" -- which means that
Fitzgerald purchased a number of books and other things from the
Scientology corporation.
No wonder he's a Republican crook.
