Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 18, 2022 RESNEK | FROM PAGE 5 headline-style letters, followed by allegations which depict the mayor involved in an FBI investigation and allegations of wrongdoing, followed at the bottom with large letters stating, “We need a return to integrity, honesty and transparency in the mayor’s office. Vote for Fred Capone for Mayor”. Capone stated that he couldn’t recall a conversation with Marchese and Resnek about the ad but claimed he wanted to take control of “things” differently. “I guess I did not know what exactly he meant by “Mike Marchese had bought a full-page.” I didn’t know if it was for my exclusive benefit, if it was Mike’s ad, and I somehow was mentioned in it, so I didn’t know exactly what he meant by that,” said Capone. With friends like Resnek With respect to Resnek, Capone said that on most occasions he only “half listens” to what Resnek has to say to him due to his distrust of the media, claiming that over the course of his term as city councillor he had been contacted by multiple TV stations, The Boston Globe and Boston Herald, and declined to comment because, “You can’t control what the media does.” Capone then points out the fact that his biggest media supporter, Resnek, has misquoted him on multiple occasions and has never apologized. When asked about the Marchese full-page ad that Resnek claims “endorses” him, Capone states, “I wouldn’t call that an endorsement.” “Why don’t you consider this an endorsement of you?” asks Robbins. “Well, I think a pure endorsement is, ‘Fred Capone is a great guy,’ about Fred Capone. That’s what I see as an endorsement, but I guess everyone has a different definition of what ‘endorsement’ is,” he replied. The witness was then asked if Resnek ever told him that he and Philbin hired a private investigator to follow the mayor. Capone replied that he may have but couldn’t confirm it either way. You’re the boss, Josh When asked about Resnek’s frequent misquoting in his stories, Capone, in a June 8, 2021, email with Resnek, appears to be bullied by the corrupt reporter after telling Resnek that what he had written was “not exactly what he said though.” In true Resnek fashion, he blames Capone and excuses his fabrications, saying Capone provided “too many words for the readers to digest in a headline” – and his lack of appreciation of his (Resnek’s) work in his ongoing attempts to unseat the mayor. Resnek’s pathetic diatribe in his email response to Capone’s objections states: “Greed is greed. Your quote was too long for our readers to digest in a headline. I didn’t add a word or take a word out. Those are your words. It is exactly what you said but not in the exact order. If your words out of order are not your words, then we are at impasse here. If I was before a jury, I could convince the jury the words I used are yours, exclusively, absolutely, incontestably. The jury would agree. I will admit to feeling some frustration by your only comment – as if your words, the substance and order of your words are somehow more compelling or important than the sum and substance of what I have done for you with this edition which I will pass out to 10,000 people tomorrow at my cost because I want to beat this fucker. The Capone sign on the front page deserves a thank you. The Capone banner on the inside deserves a thank you. The editorial deserves a thank you. The Blue Suit deserves a thank you. Fred, I am not running for mayor. You are. You are running against a louse. Don’t make me out to be the louse because I changed the sacred order of your words. I am not looking for a thank you, and with you, it appears I won’t get one. That’s OK. I’m going to make it possible for you to win. JR” When asked about the meaning of the email response, and the words he chose, Capone replied, “He and I had very different opinions on how to run a campaign, I guess so.” Capone was then asked about Resnek’s claim that the newspaper was being delivered door-to-door in order to help him win; he replied that he didn’t know their practices on deliveries. But when he was asked by Resnek if he wanted certain streets in the city delivered door-to-door, Capone said, he provided Resnek with the names of the streets he wanted delivered. That’s some bitter salt When asked about the Blue Suit articles that Resnek wrote on a weekly basis which made fraudulent claims of the mayor taking kickbacks and soliciting payoffs, Capone said that it was just a “fictional conversation with a suit, but admitted that people he spoke with had mixed reactions to the articles. “I took everything with a grain of salt,” said Capone. Attorney Robbins asks Capone if he read that there were actual accusations and assertions in the Blue Suit columns accusing the mayor of payoffs, kickbacks and engaging in criminal conduct; Capone replied he did. “That’s worse than unflattering, isn’t it?” asked Robbins. “Well, I’m saying yeah…” replied Capone. “And you write back to Mr. Resnek, “Please don’t misunderstand me. I truly appreciate your efforts and intentions.” Next week: Capone deposition continues. - Legal Notice - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT CITY OF EVERETT NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING Notice is hereby given that the City of Everett, acting through the Department of Planning and Development, will hold a public meeting on Thursday, December 1, 2022 at 6:00 p.m. in the Speaker George Keverian Room, 3rd floor, Everett City Hall, 484 Broadway, Everett, MA 02149.
