Supposed Councilman Huizar Attorney Michael Walter Fitzgerald nominated to District Courtship by President Obama

Attorney Michael Walter Fitzgerald

The LA Times is reporting that former assistant U.S. Attorney and prominent Los Angeles Barrister Michael Walter Fitzgerald, has been nominated for a judgeship on the federal court for the Central District of California.

Fitzgerald, who is openly gay, would become the first openly gay judge for that US Court District and the only openly gay US Court Judge in California after the retirement of Prop 8 Judge Vaughn Walker.

Recently here at Mayor Sam, we were given information that Fitzgerald had been retained by CD 14 City Councilman Jose Huizar for pending legal issues. Other media outlets had attempted to verify this information but no denial or confirmation was made by Fitzgerald's "Corbin Fitzgerald & Athey Law Firm".

The status of any investigation involving Councilman Huizar is uncertain and what impact Fitzgerald's nomination has on Councilman Huizar is unknown.

Political observers are speculating whether the second term elected politico may face legal problems stemming from any past wrong doings.
