The criminal investigation into Operation Underground Railroad and its founder Tim Ballard is “vibrant and productive” according to Davis County Attorney Troy Rawlings. He says his investigators are dealing with a “cascade of evidence and witnesses.”

Besides the FBI has been working the case, The Salt Lake District Attorney’s office is thinking about weighing in. In my YouTube Op-Ed XI former OUR rehab director Ed Smart breaks his silence, OUR’s chief financial officer Tevya Ware quits and forms her own anti-child sex trafficking charity, Tim Ballard—while under criminal investigation—contemplates running against Mitt Romney in 4 years for the U.S. Senate (with likely Donald Trump support if he runs) and Mormon head apostle M. Russell Ballard—who is suspected of secretly helping kickstart OUR financially— promotes his son’s and son-in-law’s business ventures out of his Church Administrative Building office.

In the meantime, Tim Ballard—appearing on Glenn Beck’s television show—discloses he took ten kidnapped, adult prostitutes, who he claims to have rescued from locked cells next to a brothel in an undisclosed country, to the White House to meet in secret with then President Donald Trump. Ballard claims the White House provided emergency visas to get the freed hookers out of bondage and into the United States.
