Washington Legislature
After one last unsuccessful attempt at delay, former Washington state Auditor Troy Kelley has begun serving his federal prison sentence.
Kelley reported last week to a minimum security camp at a Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Herlong, California in the high desert about 50 miles northwest of Reno.
Kelley’s “self-surrender,” which was first reported by KING 5 News, caps a years-long saga that began with a federal indictment in 2015 and led to two trials, a conviction on several charges and a lengthy, but ultimately unsuccessful, appeals process.
Until the very end, Kelley – who remained free throughout the legal process sought to postpone the start of his time in prison.

SEATTLE – Amazon has accused Parler, the social network known as a conservative alternative to Twitter, of trying to conceal its ownership amid a legal dispute between Amazon and Parler stemming from the U.S. Capitol riots.
Angelo Calfo, an attorney representing Parler, disputed Amazon’s claim and argued that the burden was on Amazon to prove who owns Parler, The Seattle Times reported Tuesday.
“This is a ginned-up effort to try to throw mud at Parler, when Parler has been completely clear about its ownership,” Calfo said.
The legal dispute began in January after Amazon Web Services, the Seattle company’s cloud-computing division, stopped working with Parler, temporarily wiping the platform off the internet. Amazon said Parler was unable to moderate a rise in violent content before, during and after the January insurrection.
