    Attorney LOUIS J CORNA is originally from Chicago who moved to Texas and was recently caught in the Dallas Texas County courts of falsifying documents and committing federal crimes of forgery to cheat his co worker DANIEL MOOS out of close to $50 million dollars.

    County DAs in several Counties who raked in bribe money from Attorney LOUIS J CORNA and from LOUIS J CORNA’s boss Dallas Texas billionaire GENE E PHILLIPS are involved in NON STOPcrime sprees of attacking and criminally violating LOUIS J CORNA’s ex wife LAUREN ANN CORNA because fraud upon the Courts have no statutes of limitations SEE Tarrant County Texas case 324-502659-11 which involves corrupt Judges and corrupt top Government Officials who raked in bribe money from LOUIS J CORNA and from LOUIS J CORNA’s boss GENE E PHILLIPS in exchange to cover up all of their crimes and aide in their crimes attacking and criminally violating LAUREN ANN CORNA.

    This is all true and traceable to confirm.

  2. It will be interesting to see how this arrest all plays out for MICHAEL SHAWN GUILFOIL and if the DAs and County Attorneys in Wisconsin are on the take like other DAs and County Attorneys are in the other States who raked in bribe money and illegal kickbacks from Attorney LOUIS J CORNA who Guilfoil works for.

    A massive nation wide Government cover up operations has been going on in multiple States and Counties to cover up for the corrupt Judges and corrupt Government Officials who raked in bribe money and illegal kickbacks from Attorney LOUIS J CORNA and from LOUIS J CORNA’s boss Dallas Texas billionaire GENE E PHILLIPS in exchange to cover up their crimes and cooperate in their crimes attacking and criminally violating LOUIS J CORNA’s ex wife LAUREN ANN CORNA.

There is no statute of limitations on Fraud Upon the Courts when it involves the corrupt Judges and corrupt Attorneys which this case does include this level of corruption and fraud. Many CORRUPT Judges and CORRUPT Attorneys are involved in the crimes criminally violating LAUREN ANN CORNA.

    The Bar Associations and the Judiciary Committees in both Texas and in Arizona are in fact corrupt who are covering up for their members who commit crimes. Corrupt Attorneys and corrupt Judges are illegally using their positions to carry out their crimes illegally using our Court Rooms criminally violating LAUREN ANN CORNA. This is a fact and all traceable to confirm. We have Police Reports, Many Restraining Orders, Court Documents, Court Records and many witnesses to this.

  8. LAUREN ANN CORNA is under a full blown attack by the Government including gangs of armed Government Workers showing up to her home breaking into her home ransacking and robbing her home stealing whatever they want including documents out of her home Office then going back to her home admitting to doing this to her then death threatening to murder off LAUREN ANN CORNA if she contacts her insurance company to file any claims on what they all stole or the property damage that they caused when they broke into her home or if she files any lawsuits against the Government for criminally violating her.

MICHAEL SHAWN GUILFOIL works for the corrupt unethical Attorney LOUIS J CORNA who bribes Judges, bribes Attorneys and bribes top Government Officials in exchange to cover up all of his crimes and aide in his crimes including his crimes attacking and criminally violating his ex wife LAUREN ANN CORNA. LOUIS J. CORNA uses his position as an Attorney and his connections to bribe many Judges, Attorneys and top Government Officials in exchange to cooperate in his crimes attacking and criminally violating LOUIS J CORNA’S ex wife LAUREN ANN CORNA. LAUREN ANN CORNA is a victim to the largest Government Corruption and Government Cover Up Operation in US History. LOUIS J CORNA is a senior executive for Dallas Texas Billionaire GENE E. PHILLIPS including for GENE PHILLIPS company “NATIONAL PAYROLL MANAGEMENT’ which LOUIS J CORNA and his boss GENE E PHILLIPS used to prepare falsified pay stubs AND lying about income and assets in his own Court Case criminally violating his ex wife LAUREN ANN CORNA all aided by CORRUPT Judges, corrupt Attorneys and corrupt top GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS who raked in the bribe money and illegal kickbacks from Attorney LOUIS J CORNA and from LOUIS J CORNA’S boss DALLAS TEXAS billionaire GENE E PHILLIPS in exchange to cover up their crimes criminally violating LOUIS J CORNA’S ex wife LAUREN ANN CORNA and aide in their crimes. Their crimes attacking LAUREN ANN CORNA is literally non stop.

This is all traceable to confirm.

    LAUREN ANN CORNA is the victim to the largest Government Corruption and Government Cover Up Operation in US History. We have the evidence to prove all of this.

  10. The corrupt unethical Attorney LOUIS J CORNA was able to use his position and connections which includes bribing more Judges and bribing more
    top Government Officials in Texas and in Tarrant County Texas including bribing the corrupt Tarrant County DA and County Attorneys to get his own son out of his crimes and make his DUIs disappear including his mugshot off the internet…… All Tax payers have a legal right to know that Government Workers are in fact dangerous hardcore criminals committing major crimes and then illegally using our tax payer dollars to cover up their crimes which includes the corrupt Judges, corrupt Attorneys and corrupt top Government Officials taking bribe money and illegal kickbacks from their wealthy corrupt buddies like the corrupt unethical Attorney CPA LOUIS J CORNA and LOUIS J CORNA’S corrupt boss Dallas Texas billionaire GENE E PHILLIPS in exchange to cooperate in their crimes then using their positions as Government Workers and our tax dollars to cover up all of their crimes. It is outrageous that these criminals get to bribe their way out of their crimes.

  11. Guilfoil will most likely get away with this because he works for the corrupt unethical Attorney LOUIS J CORNA and his team of corrupt unethical Attorneys with FRIEDMAN & FEIGER law firm in Dallas Texas who get to bribe Judges and brib top Government Officials which includes Governors, Senators and Attorneys Generals in exchange to cover up all of their crimes crimes

  12. Alcoholic MICHAEL SHAWN GUILFOIL who is extremely dangerous & physically violent is also on illegal drugs and a well known drug dealer himself who was allowed to come up with several thousands of dollars to bond out of Jail yet he gets to have a free bee Kenosha County Public Defender, Kenosha County Attorney MICHELLE GARDNER! This is outrageous what goes on in our Court System catering to hardcore dangerous hardcore criminals who should be off the streets and thrown in Prison cells so they can’t attack and criminally violate more people! The Government needs to be held accountable for this and the crimes committed by their criminals who they release from their Jails!

  13. alcoholic druggie MICHAEL SHAWN GUILFOIL’s mugshot from his arrest in PARKER COUNTY TEXAS for his 3rd DUI in TEXAS a few years ago has been deleted off the internet while Kenosha County has reduced Guilfoil’s criminal charges in Wisconsin! Guilfoil is a dangerous hardcore criminal!

  14. MICHAEL SHAWN GUILFOIL is unemployed and has been unemployed for many many years who uses his Disability / Social Security money to buy liquor and illegal drugs. Is this why the Government keeps covering up his crimes?

  15. MICHAEL SHAWN GUILFOIL who openly brags about being bribed by the corrupt unethical Attorney LOUIS J CORNA and his team of Attorneys with FRIEDMAN & FEIGER law firm in DALLAS TEXAS …. is involved in the massive Government Cover Up Operations to cover up their crimes criminally violating LAUREN ANN CORNA

    Several corrupt Judges and several corrupt top Government Officials have raked in bribe money and illegal kickbacks from the sneaky lying unethical Attorney LOUIS J CORNA, LOUIS J CORNA’s Boss Dallas Texas billionaire GENE E PHILLIPS along with LOUIS J CORNA’s Team of Attorneys with FRIEDMAN & FEIGER law firm in DALLAS TEXAS which included MARLA PUTTMAN, LARRY FRIEDMAN & ROBERT FEIGER all in exchange to COVER UP their horrific crimes and aide in their horrific crimes criminally violating LAUREN ANN CORNA See Tarrant County Texas case 324-502659-11 .. the Judges & ALL of the Attorneys on file with this case illegally conspired to aide in the crimes & court case rigging to severely criminally violate LAUREN ANN CORNA causing her severe harm and millions & millions & millions of dollars in financial damages.

    LAUREN ANN CORNA is the victim to the LARGEST Government COVER UP operations in U.S. History.

  16. Public Warnings!! Corrupt Government Workers will do ANYTHING to cover up their crimes!

    After Government Workers criminally violated LAUREN ANN CORNA causing her severe harm and millions of dollars in financial damages, gangs of armed Government Workers broke into LAUREN ANN CORNA’s home ransacking and robbing her stealing whatever they wanted including documents out of her home Office and leaving their police dog leash behind in LAUREN ANN CORNA’s garage….. Then gangs of armed Government Workers showed up AGAIN getting in LAUREN ANN CORNA’s face ADMITTING that it was them who broke into her home then they death threatened LAUREN ANN CORNA if she files any lawsuits against them or files any claims with her insurance company on what they all STOLE out of her house. The County DA and County Attorneys are covering this all up including the States Attorneys Office aiding in the crimes criminally violating LAUREN ANN CORNA by covering this all up!

    County & State Government Workers are involved in this massive Government cover up committing Federal Crimes criminally violating LAUREN ANN CORNA including death threatening to murder her off if she files any lawsuits against the Government Workers who criminally violated her.

    We have several witnesses, the Police Report and their Police Dog leash that they left behind to prove that this is all true.
