Introduction

As a Democratic Activist and Operative, sometimes you have to search

for a political project and at other times they fall into your lap.

Fundamentally, it is my job to identify bad actors across the politicalspectrum, and then perform opposition research to exploit negativefindings against the target elected official, candidate and / or politicalpersonality.

Typically and most often, my work is done behind the scenes, in the

shadows, out of sight, no fingerprints. Not unlike any sting operation.

However, there have been several occasions when the only method ofachieving a successful objective has required me to publicly expose myparticipation in a project. This has turned out to be one of those occa-sions.

I had no choice since this project simply fell into my lap. It began inno-cently enough as a benign relationship, then over a twelve month period

unfolded into an Is this for real? opportunity that couldnt be passed up.

I did not expect or anticipate to be invited into the inner circle of such acontroversial elected public official and political opposition leader ... theultimate black bag victory!

Blaine Young received this private FB messageand sent it to me as an FYI.

He wanted to make sure I was aware of whathis Republican constituents were saying.

Background

Following a successful political operations career in Virginia, I moved to

Frederick County, Maryland, in the late Nineties, locating in a small villageat the far west side of the county.

At first glance and with a bit of due diligence I found that the DemocraticParty in Maryland, and specifically Frederick County, was not the sameDemocratic Party I was familiar with.

Some Frederick County, Maryland Democrats, organizationally as well as

individually, have taken to the courts, social media and newspapers toexecute their strategies. Seeing these approaches result in limited-to-nosuccess, I take a more private, confidential approach in executing plans toachieve desired objectives for my projects.

On several occasions my tactics, although successful, have been ques-tioned by members of the local Democratic leadership. We share same-party registration; however our missions are drastically different.

The Frederick County Democratic Party, broadly speaking, demonstratesweak, reactive leadership by taking a passive political role in candidateselection, endorsement and support. To the contrary, I have chosen toproactively identify bad actors, regardless of political party, then deviseand execute plans to cause the demise of their political aspirations.

The Frederick County Democratic Central Committee and I will simplyhave to agree to disagree. We have differing motivations and missions.

How The Project Groundwork Was Layed

From a political operatives perspective, opposition research projects fallinto two categories:

Those which the operative has identified in advance, and

Those which simply fall into the operatives lap by accident

Most political operatives spend the majority of their time working onidentifying their targets, and then once identified, execute a plan to

achieve the intended objective and / or result.

As is sometimes the case, however, a political operative doesnt realizethat a project is in hand until a series of situations, circumstances andevents have taken place. This is exactly what happened for this project.

Official End Date :Project Target :

Drive-time WFMD Radio Show Personality

Self-proclaimed Good Ole Boy

Controversial Frederick County Political Figure

Future Maryland Sixth Congressional District hopeful

With this project, a series of situations, circumstances and events tookplace long before the official project start date, with each leading to thenext and concluding with a eureka moment on the start date for theproject.

Regarding Blaine Young, he is a very polarizing personality ... you either

like him or you don't. Plain and simple. Black and white.

Numerous organizations and individuals have been chipping away at themargins with limited-to-no success.

However, in the wacky world of politics, when someone in Blaine Youngsposition invites an opposition activist into his inner circle, it's a politicaloperatives dream come true.

Blaine and I began our relationship in March during the 2012 politicalPrimary season, teaming up each Friday for a political week-in-reviewradio program on Fredericks WFMD Mid-Maryland Live drive timeprogram.

As often happened throughout the Friday radio shows, we conducted adhoc conversations during breaks in the program.

The political analysis and cross-fire format was continued throughout the2012 General election cycle using the same week-in-review Fridayformat.

Mellow Yellow Project Becomes Official

On Friday, October 19, 2012, while participating in a remote WFMD radio

broadcast from the J ekyll & Hyde restaurant on East Street in FrederickCity, I hit pay dirt. The hook was set, now I only needed to reel him intothe boat.

J ekyll & Hyde how apropos !!

During one of the J ekyll & Hyde show breaks, Blaine leaned over andasked me if I was available to provide him with political advice. I said I

would think about it, but it would not be free of charge.

I made sure he understood - if anyone found out, it would damage hispolitical career much more that it would hurt me as a political strategist.

Being a key advisor to Mr Young would make me look like a genius forinfiltrating the political opposition camp and he would have some explain-ing to do to his Republican supporters, financial contributors and possefor an apparent betrayal to his own political party affiliation.

He acknowledged the personal, professional and political risks, thenasked me to work up the costs, which I did over the next few days. Blaineclearly wanted access to my opposition research experience, contactsand methods. He also wanted information regarding other Republicangubernatorial candidates, sought advice on strategy and tactics andcommunication text. Additionally, he wanted me to provide investigativefindings regarding prospective candidates running for the 2014 FrederickCounty Charter Government Executive position.

The following Friday, October 26th, back in the radio studio, Blaine askedme if I had worked out the numbers and what was the amount. I said yes,but I didn't want to discuss it at the radio station. He slid a piece of paperand a pen across the desk and I wrote down the numbers to coverconsulting, food, gas and lodging. Lodging would have to be expensed incase I had to stay overnight somewhere in Maryland.

He looked at the numbers and said it was doable for him. We agreed thata payment method and time table would need to be worked out. I toldhim that I preferred cash payments to keep my name off his politicalfinancial bookkeeping records. He said he would come up with a plan to


8/24

make sure my involvement with him as a paid political adviser wouldremain hidden from public scrutiny.

To mitigate the risk of anyone finding out that Blaine had hired a Democ-ratic strategist as a close political adviser, we decided that having me onhis radio show at least once a week would provide good cover. In caseanyone saw us together during the week or chatting at a social function,we could simply say that we were talking about topics to discuss on theradio.

Two weeks after the J ekyll & Hyde remote broadcast, we relaxed duringthe live election night show with a few adult drinks while calling the race

results over the air. Given that we used opaque cups, I'm certain thatnone of the WFMD staff knew we were sipping Crown Royal during livestudio broadcast.

The Presidential race was called early and the live broadcast was over by11:00pm. With a small buzz starting and plenty of time left for nighttimeactivities, we went out for a few more drinks and laughs.

Over drinks at a restaurant near Carroll Creek, I realized that if it wasgoing to happen, then this would be the point in time for me to launch apolitical opposition plan to expose Blaine Young and put it into action.

Following the election, Blaine and I continued our radio relationship whenBlaine invited me to keep coming back for Friday wrap-up shows. Duringbreaks in the live broadcast for news, weather and traffic, we woulddiscuss his gubernatorial and other political aspirations.

I made it clear to Blaine that winning the Governors race was out of reachfor a Republican, although there was a tiny sliver of hope as long as theplanets aligned correctly the Erlich v. Kennedy gubernatorial race.

He was advised that if he fully intended to run for Marylands top job, hisfocus should be on winning the Republican Primary in order to punch hispolitical ticket. Taking second place or worse in the Primary would bepolitical suicide.

I didnt discuss with him the Democratic Primary or potential DemocraticGeneral election cycle candidates in order to keep him focused on hisown race.

Notable Aside [1]

It's important to note that Blaine is a talker. He likes to talk about

how much money he has raised and can raise ... as well as insiderinfo on notable persons and BOCC activities.

In one conversation he described how Frederick County Privatizationwas a ruse. It was intended to focus people's attention in one direc-tion as he worked on other plans that he wanted to keep from publicview. I wasnt sure if he was telling the truth or not, but the smile onhis face was convincing enough.

Several weeks passed without any payments to me so I confronted him atthe radio station following one of our Fun Fact Friday shows and told himhe had me handcuffed for free ... not good and not acceptable.

By J anuary, 2013, he had worked out a plan to channel payments fromhis political contribution / campaign account to a Frederick Countycommercial business owner, who would then pay me on a weekly basis.

Of note, we agreed to revisit his political career decision(s) in September,2013, when he would either double my weekly rate to advise him as heran for Governor or Frederick County Executive ... or he would pay me$5,000 as walk away money.

We also agreed to meet privately at Blaines Yellow Cab company officeeach Monday at 1:30 pm. With the terms and conditions out of the way, Ibegan advising him in earnest and constructing his gubernatorial cam-paign workbooks three ring binders filled with vital information to be

studied and used when traveling and speaking across the state.

On J anuary 14th, the following facebook private message exchange tookplace between Blaine and me:

10:21am

Patrick Allen

Are we still scheduled to execute the transaction at 1:30p

(Yellow Cab HQ)?

5:35pm I am asking Blaine if he was making progress toprovide funds from his political account to thecommercial business to support my payments.

Blaine Young

Yes

When I arrived at Yellow Cab, Blaine drove the two of us, using one of hiscabs, over to the commercial business location. I waited in the cab asBlaine went inside to meet with the owner of the business an envelopein his hand. Upon his return to the car, he said that everything was inplace to begin the payments the following day.

The next afternoon, Tuesday, J anuary 15th, I went to the paymentlocation, knocked on the locked front door and went inside to sign a 1099form and receive my first payment sealed in an envelope. Later that

afternoon the following facebook private message exchange took place

between Blaine and me:4:21pm

With payment methodology and a relaxed relationship in place, it wastime to get down to executing the opposition research plan.

First things first, we had to work on his appearance package. Thatincluded, but was not limited to:

Make sure that he keeps a fuller head of hair, especially on thesides, to make him look a couple of years older.

Get rid of the pointy handkerchief and replace it with a squarehandkerchief (don't look like a pimp).

It's ironic to note that on J anuary 27, 2013, Mr. Steve Bruns, a

Frederick County progressive Democrat and populist with a keeneye for detail, put out an email with the following text:

"Anybody know when it was, that Blaine stoppedusing his trademark, four-point pocket protector?"

This was significant because it demonstrated to Blaine that theadvice he was getting was on target.

Additionally, I advised him to stop wearing so much jewelry (the

whole pimp thing) and change his cufflinks to Maryland Flags.The cufflinks would be subtly noticed and remembered ... moregubernatorial in appearance.

He followed the advice like a good candidate should. I had alreadyconveyed to him that any candidate who tries to run their own show willrun it into the ground. At the time, even with his contolling personality, heappeared to accept my input and recommendations. For a while, at least,he soaked up the advice he was being given without any argument.

I would show up on Mondays for our private meeting ... pick up my checkfrom the commercial business location on Tuesdays ... then, wander intoWFMD once a week for our Fun Fact Fridays radio show.

Notable Aside [2]

Regarding the weekly payments, I don't believe that the front office

secretaries or the company accountant knew the details of what wasgoing on. The secretaries would meet me at the door and hand mean envelope with my name on it, we would occasionally exchangesmall talk ... then I would turn and walk away.


12/24

12

It is important to note that I would be listed as a "consultant" on the booksat the commercial company, but I never did any consulting to them nor didI turn in any invoices to reconcile each weekly payment.

During the only conversation I had with the company accountant, itseemed like she only knew that funds arrived from an unknown externalsource, to be assigned a specific Ledger ID, and those funds would bedoled out to me on a weekly basis.

Blaine wanted investigative intelligence on gubernatorial candidates aswell as possible Frederick County Executive candidates should he decideto skip the Governors race and focus on running to become Frederick

County's first Charter Government Executive.

He was especially interested in former Democratic BOCC President, J anGardner - her previous relations, liaisons and / or separations - letting meknow that he could obtain normally inaccessible documents from thecourthouse if I needed them.

Quite frankly, I wasnt interested in J an Gardners personal life, nor did Itake any actions to delve into it. I wanted to see if Blaine Young could orwould use his political position and influence to pull private documentsfrom County Courthouse records. During direct conversations to maskthe obvious, we always referred to her as January Gardening.

As a political operative, at this point I could only sit back and prop my feetup on the ottoman as he kept delivering the goods.

Keeping Blaine Young on a short leash, as many already know, is a

challenge. He is determined to do it his way, come hell or high water, andin many cases to hell with the consequences.

On more than one occasion he was advised by me that the "good oleboy" persona he has created on his local radio show might sell to a few,but would not carry him through the Republican gubernatorial Primary in2014. He would need to move more toward the political center.

Further, I repeatedly advised him to stop going off half-cocked with

defensive facebook postings, blog articles, radio sound-offs, OpEds andLTEs i.e., the Basketball Diaries. However, his street thug stubborn-ness overrode common sense and he simply plowed forward like a bull ina china closet.


13/24

By early-to-mid April, 2013, I could see that an emerging disconnectbetween us was beginning to affect his position as the candidate and myservices as an adviser / consultant.

It became clear to me that Blaine, over the last month or so, began goingdown a road of political self destruction. His personal comments to meclearly demonstrated that he had no intentions to run for Governor, citinghis reluctance to challenge Dan Bongino in the 2014 Republican Primary.

He would instead, strongly consider changing his focus and attentionstoward running for Frederick County Charter Government Executive oruse his contributor provided campaign war chest to be a king maker in

other political races.

On Tuesday, April 23rd, we met privately at Blaines Yellow Cab companyoffice where he told me he was suspending his gubernatorial activities.

He said that he would revisit his political options in September anddepending on his decision at that time, he would either re-invoke theagreed upon payment schedule and amount or provide a $5,000 lumpsum walk away payment.

As I sat there, I wondered if anyone other than myself knew about hisgubernatorial suspension decision, or would he continue solicitingcontributions to build up a war chest for the 2014 Frederick CountyCharter Government Executive race ... or perhaps use the money as aking maker for other candidates in their races. The meeting lasted aboutfive minutes.

Blaine Youngs decision to suspend and / or cease gubernatorial activitiescreated the most logical end point for me to terminate this oppositionproject.

Points of Interest and / or Investigation

Constituent and Contributor Betrayal

Category : Point of Interest

Well beyond the shadow of a doubt, Blaine Young has betrayed hisRepublican base and Conservative constituency contributors by selectingand paying a Democratic Strategist to provide him with strategic and

tactical political advice, counseling and guidance.

Constituents and contributors deserve a full and complete disclosure ofMr. Youngs intended political interests and aspirations. In the absence offull disclosure, contributors should request a refund of donation amounts,which has already begun to occur with some of his initial supporters.

Privitization of Frederick County Posit ions and / or Services

Category : Investigation

As presented in Notable Aside [1] on page 9 of this document, ad hocdiscussion(s) and comments referring to the privatization of Countypositions and services raises a number of questions regarding use /abuse of Mr. Youngs position as BOCC President and possible inappro-

priate and unethical use / abuse of County resources to deceive thecitizens of Frederick County. This should be investigated to determinewhy Mr. Young would refer to this as a ruse and to what extent it wasused as a BOCC diversion to obfuscate other actions and / or activities byMr. Young and / or additional County Commissioners.


15/24

Sale of Montevue and Citizens Senior Living Centers


Comments made by Mr. Young during several conversations and ad hocdiscussions suggested that he had a private deal in place with someonefrom Prince Georges County to purchase the properties for thirty-fivemillion dollars. In Mr. Youngs words, Thirty-five million is one third of ahigh school. This needs to be thoroughly investigated to determine if Mr.Young abused his position as BOCC President, acting alone or in concertwith additional Frederick County Commissioners to create a sweetheartdeal in advance, outside of regulatory obligations and required govern-

mental processes.

Inappropriate and / or Illegal Access to County Records


As noted on page 12 of this document, Mr. Young made several refer-ences that he could / will use his position and influence to obtain normallyinaccessible documents and records, regarding a private citizen and / orpotential political challenger, from the Frederick County Courthouse.

This needs to be thoroughly investigated to determine if any documentsand / or records, specific to J an Gardner or other citizens, have beenacquired or are in the process of being acquired by Mr. Young from insidesources at the Frederick County Courthouse.

The investigation should also probe into whether this problem is systemic

among and between members of the Board of County Commissioners.

Advisory Note : Given the questionable relationship and alliance be-tween Blaine Young, Frederick County BOCC President and J ohn S.Mathias, Frederick County Attorney, any investigation into unethical andhighly probable illegal conduct by Mr. Young and others should originatefrom the Maryland State Attorney Generals office in Baltimore, Maryland.

Mr. J ohn Mathias, Mr. J . Charles Smith III as well as members of the

Frederick County Ethics Commission, should be recused from thisinvestigation and denied access to any and all investigative materials untilthe probe and investigation have been completed.


16/24

16

Inappropriate and / or Illegal Use of Political Funds


As noted on pages 9 11 of this document, Mr. Young used an estab-lishhed Frederick City commercial business enterprise to channel hiddenpayments for the purposes of engaging in political activities and politicallymotivated personal investigations.

This needs to be thoroughly investigated to determine if Mr. Young hasviolated any election law statutes and / or regulations as well as aninvestigation into the payment partnership between Mr. Young and theparticipating Frederick City based commercial business enterprise.

By using the power of Subpeona, the Maryland State Attorney Generalshould obtain all electronic communications among and between BlaineYoung, the commercial business owner and the commercial businessaccountant to determine how this payment plan was designed andimplemented to include personal and professional email, facebookprivate messages, phone texts, etc.

Further, the Maryland State AG should subpoena these records goingback to the last BOCC election cycle. The ease with which this moneylaundering scheme was put into place for me to conduct political activitieson behalf of Mr. Young, leads me to believe the same approach has beenexecuted one or more times in the past.

Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages : On-Air Radio Show


As noted on page 8 of this document, alchoholic beverages were con-sumed during several live on-air radio broadcasts. This needs to beinvestigated to determine if drinking alcoholic beverages during an on-airradio broadcast violates FCC Rules and Regulations.

Project Funding Payments By Third Party

As noted on pages 9 11 of this document, payments were madethrough a commercial business enterprise to support political activities.The original plan was to seed the payment account with a specificamount, then refresh the account when the level of available fundsreached a certain amount.

The threshold was reached during April, 2013, whereby the commercial

company accountant recommended I send her an email, regardingreceipts, which she could forward to her boss triggering a phone call toBlaine Young for additional funds. The following email text reflects thatcommunication with the company accountant.

To: rosie@[name removed].com

Rosie,

Hello. It was good chatting with you last Tuesday regarding receipts that I havesubmitted for reimbursement.

Aside from the weekly check which I pick up on site at [name removed], I willoccasionally submit receipts for the following items:

1. Gas

2. Food

3. Lodging (this item will be submitted only if I need to stay overnightsomewhere in Maryland, but I expect that it will be infrequent, if at all).

Currently, I believe I have submitted approximately $30 in receipts and will besubmitting another receipt next Tuesday for $44.

Can you forward this email to [name removed] so that he can get the necessaryapproval?

Campaign Workbooks : Stump Speech Data

As noted in this document, two leather bound three-ring binders were

constructed to be used as campaign workbooks for Mr. Young. Theworkbooks contained significant data regarding demograhics for eachcounty in Maryland as well as referential materials reflecting county andregional issues to be addressed during speaking engagements at socials,civic organizations and / or Republican Clubs.

The Basketball Diaries Blogging

Fake email accounts were created by me in order to blog on Mr. Youngsbehalf while obfuscating myself as the blogger. This was especiallyimportant to Mr. Young during the period of time commonly referred to asthe basketball diaries also known publicly as Blaine Youngs confronta-tion with a teenaged basketball referee.

The tone of comments submitted againstFrederick News-Post Editorials,

Opinions and LTEs was generic in nature, worded in a manner to tampdown the discussion as opposed to supporting Mr. Youngs actions.

Frederick Magazine Cover Letters to Legislators and Clubs

In addition to the referential campaign workbooks mentioned above, twosignificant communications activities were undertaken on Mr. Youngsbehalf:

The March 2013 publication ofFrederick Magazine contained a lengthyarticle written about Mr. Young. Blaine purchased several boxes of themagazine, planning to send a copy to each Maryland Republican StateLegislator, Republican Congressman Andy Harris (MD CD1) and Mary-land based Republican Clubs. Each copy of the magazine would includea cover letter (see Imaged Artifacts, pg. 24, for Magazine cover).

I was tasked with writing the text for each cover letter, which would beprinted on Blaine Young For Governorstationary. The following emailexchange presents the text and confirmation of the cover letter message.

Message to Republican / GOP Clubs

RE : A Conservative Vision For Maryland

Maryland Republican / GOP Clubs are the backbone of Marylandsconservative voice. Each Club is unique in its own right, representing theconservative fabric of their communities and counties.

There is a growing movement across Maryland, following eight years oftax and spend Democratic control (as of 2014) to return our State todivided verses divisive rule. A Republican has sat behind the Governorsdesk prior to Martin OMalley and the time has arrived for a Republican tosit behind that desk again.

As you may be aware, I am seriously exploring a run for Governor and tothat extent, I have been traveling across Maryland to meet and talk withindividuals, groups and organizations regarding the important issuesfacing our Counties, Regions and the State as a whole. To date, I haveexceeded fundraising expectations and goals, which is a positive sign thatMarylanders are ready to get behind and support a common sense,conservative voice for the people.

I welcome and encourage the opportunity to meet with your membershipand present a conservative vision for Maryland governance. But, morethan just presenting my views on Marylands dwindling economy and lossof working family jobs under a Democratic controlled Governor and StateLegislature, I want to listen to your views and opinions.

Please contact me at your soonest to schedule a Club Meeting date and

give me the opportunity to introduce myself to your membership, topresent the economic successes I have brought to Frederick County as aFrederick City Alderman and the President of the Board of CountyCommissioners and to sit with your membership to listen to their concernsfor building a successful Maryland.

Message to Maryland State Republican Senators and Delegates

RE : A Conservative Vision For Maryland

With eight years (by 2014) of tax and spend Democratic control of theGovernors office and Maryland State legislature, with thousands of jobsexiting the State, Maryland is clearly positioned to put a conservativevoice behind the Governors desk and realize a divided governmentinstead of a divisive government.

A Republican Governor in Maryland is not an anomaly, but should beconsidered routine. Robert Erlich accomplished this task prior to Martin

OMalley and it can be done again.

As you may be aware, I am seriously exploring a run for Governor and tothat extent, I have been traveling across Maryland to meet and talk withindividuals, groups and organizations regarding the important issuesfacing our Counties, Regions and the State as a whole. To date, I haveexceeded fundraising expectations and goals, which is a positive sign thatMarylanders are ready to get behind and support a common sense,conservative voice for the people.

I welcome and encourage the opportunity to meet with you one-on-one orwith your regional GOP delegation to discuss the important issues of ourtime and how we can work together to once again put a conservativevoice of reason behind the desk in the Governors office.

Please contact me at your soonest to schedule a date / time for us tomeet and discuss how we can once again put a Republican conservative

voice in the Governors office, working together with conservative Sena-tors and Delegates to work with both Democrats and Republicans tobenefit Maryland. With the current legislative session in order and inAnnapolis, I can meet with you personally or with your delegation to bothintroduce myself and to discuss the important issues that we face todayand tomorrow.
