Are you familiar with this?
The legal system in the United States is becoming so corrupt, this is
exactly as Edward Gibbon wrote about the collapse of the rule of law in Rome.
Edward Gibbon wrote of him: Each
“distinction of every kind soon became criminal. The possession
of wealth stimulated the diligence of the informers; rigid virtue implied a
tacit censure of the irregularities of Commodus; important services implied a
dangerous superiority of merit; and the friendship of the father always insured
the aversion of the son. Suspicion was equivalent to proof; trial to
condemnation. The execution of a considerable senator was attended with the
death of all who might lament or revenge his fate; and when Commodus had once
tasted human blood, he became incapable of pity or remorse”
(Book 1, Chapter 4).
The legal system in the United States now seriously needs reform for
nobody’s property, human rights, or civil rights remain safe when judges are
government appointees for life. New York is, of course, out of control where
judges are free to simply alter transcripts changing the words of witnesses
after the fact, In an important case,
US v Ziccetello, the judge alterations
unwittingly favored the defendant. The government intent on keeping its 99%
conviction rate, argued that the judge changed the transcripts. On page 97 of
the opinion, the Court of Appeals admitted it was a “unique” practice and then
said it lacked the power to tell judges to obey the law since it is a 5 year
felony to alter such court documents. If the Appeals Court lacks power, then
who possesses such power.
Judge Richard Owen is a real notorious pro-government former prosecutor
playing the role of judge. He has handled most of the high-profile SEC cases.
Amazingly, everyone seemed to get him. He took the lawyers away from
Steven H. Schiffer in a
SEC case
and then tormented him so he committed suicide all alone on. Then he would joke
about it that he was never overruled because Schiffer didn’t know how to
handle himself.

Frank Quatrone of First Boston found himself also before
Judge Owen who was also changing the transcripts in his case. In fact, after I
directly confronted Judge Owen publicly about changing my transcripts, no
newspaper would report the confrontation. However, the New York Times
journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin who wrote Too Big to Fail, came to see me
about Judge Owen changing transcripts. The Appeals court directly criticized
Sorkin claiming he improperly reported events but still recuse Judge Owen. I
spoke to Sorkin and he told me Owen changed the transcript after he reported. .
Still the NY Times would not publish the truth about Judge Owen changing
transcripts.
In my own case I forced Judge Owen to publicly admit he was changing my
transcripts on September 23, 2003. Judge Owen had thrown the Associated Press
out on
April 27th, 2000creating a closed secret court
proceeding that is totally illegal. As an American citizen I was supposed to
have a public trial – good one! The AP actually printed that it was a closed
court proceeding.
The AP reported I had stated from the outset Republic stole the money. You
cannot get $1 billion out of a bank and nobody knows where it is. That kind of
money can only be wired, yet they pretended to be looking for something
Republic had all the time. When Republic finally pleads guilty, they got no
jail time in return for all the missing money.
Now, in California, some prosecutors have resigned because Eric Holder’s
boys were fabricating evidence in order to confiscate property in the tens of
millions of dollars. One former prosecutor
Eric Overby
stated:
“It’s called the Department of Justice. It’s not called the
Department of Revenue.” Overby has stated that in his entire
career,
“I’ve never seen anything like this. Never.” The
entire court has had to step aside because all judges are tainted. Just
amazing.
We are screwed as a nation without a legal system that is
reliable. How can we have a ruling against the NSA or anything sensitive when
judges are not really judges? You just cannot appoint career prosecutors as
judges and no one should be there for life.

Stunning federal
corruption case moving forward with almost no media attention
Corrupt federal prosecutors presenting false evidence in order to shake down
a blameless corporation and bring in tens of millions of dollars seems like a
pretty dramatic story. Especially when former prosecutors support the charge
and a chief judge acts on the allegations and takes dramatic action. Yet the
media silence is deafening.
Eric Holder’s Justice Department is implicated in a dramatic and shocking
case of alleged corruption that is so bad that the Chief Judge of the Eastern
District of California has taken what can rightly be called the “nuclear
option” and
recused all the judges in the district from the casebecause
they may have been defrauded by the DoJ prosecutors.
So far, aside from the local paper, the
Sacramento Bee, it is only
Sidney Powell of the
New
York Observer, writing in the opinion pages of that publication that
has paid attention to what should be a prominent national media scandal. In
brief, the Sierra Pacific Industries, a lumber producer, was accused by the
federal government of starting a large wildfire, and fined $55 million, and
compelled to hand over title to 22,500 acres of land. The only problem is that
the prosecution was allegedly corrupt, and knowingly submitted false evidence.
In an extraordinary development, Judge England, Chief Judge of the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of California,
ordered the recusal of all the Eastern
District judges from the case because of serious allegations that the Court
itself was defrauded by the government in the original prosecution. To avoid
any appearance of partiality, he has referred the case to Ninth Circuit Chief
Judge Alex Kozinski to appoint a judge from outside the Eastern District to
handle the case going forward.
Judge
Kozinski has
excoriated prosecutors
for failing to meet their legal and ethical obligations.
The
order notes that the
defendants filed an action this week to set aside the $55 million settlement
because, as the defendants allege, “the United States presented false evidence
to the Defendants and the Court; advanced arguments to the Court premised on
that false evidence; or, for which material evidence had been withheld, and
obtaining court rulings based thereon; prepared key Moonlight Fire
investigators for depositions, and allowed them to repeatedly give false testimony
about the most important aspects of their investigation; and failed to disclose
the facts and circumstances associated with the Moonlight Fire lead
investigator’s direct financial interest in the outcome of the investigation
arising from an illegal bank account that has since been exposed and
terminated.”
The
Sacramento
Bee reported on the Defendant’s filing. Indeed, the Defendants’ motion
informs us that a former Assistant United States Attorney came forward and
disclosed that he believes that he was removed from the original prosecution by
“his boss, David Shelledy, chief of the civil division in the United States
Attorney’s office,” because he “rebuffed” pressure to “engage in unethical
conduct as a lawyer.” Of course, like
other
former prosecutors who
were
unethical, Mr. Shelledy is to
receive Attorney
General Holder’s highest award for excellence—this week.
The defendants also reveal that another former federal prosecutor, Eric
Overby, left the Moonlight Fire prosecution team also, stating: “It’s called
the Department of Justice. It’s not called the Department of Revenue.”
According to the motion, Mr. Overby told defense counsel that in his entire
career, “I’ve never seen anything like this. Never.”
Powell aptly sums up the banana republic nature of what seems to have been
going on:
This is part of a disturbing and rapidly increasing pattern of abuses by
this Department of Justice to line government coffers or
redistribute
the wealth to its political allies—using its overwhelming litigation
might and federal agencies as a tool of extortion and wealth redistribution.
The entire original prosecution against Sierra Pacific appears to have been
driven by the Department of Justice’s interest in hitting a “deep pocket” for
millions of dollars of revenue. The Defendants’ motion to set aside the
settlement reveals a series of fraudulent acts by federal and state authorities
that defiles our system of justice.
If these allegations can be proven, federal prosecutors involved should
receive lengthy prison sentences. And if Eric Holder can be shown to be
involved, he should join John Mitchell in the ranks of former AGs with a prison
record. This is intolerable.
