Senator Graham's Investigation of the Bidens Lacks Credibility

Post #58 (November 30, 2019)

I BASH REPUBLICANS JUST LIKE I BASH DEMOCRATS

If you have read my recent posts, then you know that I have hammered the Democrats for their hypocrisy and dishonesty regarding their efforts to impeach Donald Trump while ignoring a more egregious abuse of power scandal involving San Jose city officials and officials with the US District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.  I make no apologies for coming down hard on the Democrats. They deserve all my criticisms. I promise you there is a lot more to come. Don't take my criticism of Democrats to mean I am enamored with Republicans. It's just that the Democrats have been acting if they have lost their minds. Then comes along Senator Graham with this purely politically driven investigation into former VP Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden got paid thousands of dollars a month as a consultant for Burisma Holdings, an energy company in the Ukraine, even though he had no experience in the energy industry. The conventional wisdom is that he got the position because his dad was the VP and the head of America's Ukranian policy. While there may not have been any wrongdoing, it surely looks like a conflict of interest which is bad when you are talking politics. However, the investigation into the Bidens will accomplish nothing because of its partisan nature. 

Like me, I hope that the rest of America is tired of the never ending politically motivated investigations by both political parties that have little credibility because they are initiated under the false pretense that politicians care so much about eliminating corruption and being loyal to the oaths they took to protect and uphold the Constitution. Graham's investigation into the Bidens is clearly a response to the Democrats impeachment inquiry into President Trump. Graham's justification for the investigation of the Bidens because of Hunter Biden's past position on the board of Burisma Holdings is that it "doesn't pass the smell test."

What doesn't pass the smell test is the ethics of Senator Graham. Senator Graham, who is Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, failed to initiate an investigation into several felonies committed by San Jose city officials, officials with the US District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals during the litigation of two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose for racial and disability discrimination. I am black/African American. This is the same allegation that I have leveled against Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff. When will both political parties stop claiming ethical superiority by opening investigations into their political rivals when it's clear both parties are equally corrupt. Senator Graham's ethical problems are detailed in the letters below:

United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510

Re: Ethics Violations by Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee/Petition for Redress of Grievance

Dear Members of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics:

            The purpose of this letter is to bring to your attention ethics violations by the following members of the Senate Judiciary Committee: Senator Lindsey Graham, Senator Chuck Grassley, Senator Dianne Feinstein, and Senator Kamala Harris. I am also asking that the Select Committee on Ethics open an investigation into my allegation. My allegation that the just named Senators violated Senate Ethics Rules are based on their failure to take action on complaint letters I submitted to each detailing criminal misconduct by San Jose city officials, officials with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California – San Jose Division and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals during litigation of two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose for racial and disability discrimination. I am black/African American. Furthermore, the rulings of the courts in each of my lawsuits are biased in favor of the City of San Jose and they are wholly inconsistent with the indisputable facts and well established law.
            On the website of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics under Constituent Service, it states that the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution “guarantees the right of the people…to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” It also states that responding to inquiries of petitioners and assisting them before executive or independent government officials and agencies is an appropriate exercise of the representational function of each Member of Congress, as well as an important function of congressional oversight. The definition of redress by Merriam-Webster is to set right or remedy an unjust or unfair situation.
            Not only has there been no action taken on my complaint letters to Senators Graham, Feinstein, Grassley, and Harris, I have only received a response from Senator Feinstein acknowledging receipt of my letter. This is inconsistent with the obligation of elected officials to respond to inquiries of petitioners as noted above. What makes this matter so egregious is that the accused Senators are making a conscious decision to conceal from the public the criminal misconduct of San Jose city officials and officials with the U.S. District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that was perpetrated in order to cover up racism, bigotry and corruption.
            Also on the website for the Senate Select Committee it states that the general advice of the Ethics Committee concerning pending court actions is that Senate offices should refrain from intervening in such legal actions in most cases until the matter has reached a resolution in the
                                                                                                                                                Page 2

courts. In other words, the judicial system should be allowed to function without interference from outside sources. It is important to note that there are no pending actions in court relative to my two lawsuits because the courts have entered their final judgments. Nothing precludes Congress or the Senate Judiciary Committee from conducting investigations into my allegations against the courts based on Congress’ constitutional authority/obligation to provide oversight. It is important to keep in mind that my allegations against the courts and the City of San Jose involve very serious criminal misconduct. The criminal misconduct I am alleging includes bribery, conspiracy to obstruct justice and obstruction of justice, subornation of perjury and perjury, fraud, and witness tampering. These criminal acts involve creating a false document relative to a fraudulent stipulation of dismissal, falsifying court records, staging a phony hearing on a motion I filed and creating a fraudulent transcript and civil minutes for that hearing that contradict each other.
            In order to support my allegations of criminal misconduct by San Jose city officials and the courts are two attachments in pdf format on a flash drive that’s included in this packet. One attachment contain copies of a letter and documents sent to Inspector General Michael Horowitz alleging that former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and F.B.I. Director Christopher Wray, along with several other officials in the Department of Justice and F.B.I. are engaged in a cover-up of the criminal misconduct of San Jose city officials and federal court officials. The other attachment contains copies of a letter and documents I sent to Chief Judge Sidney R. Thomas of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that is undeniable proof that the judgments in my two lawsuits against the City of San Jose are based on fraud; and that they are in violation of the Constitution and well established precedent and statutory law. The judgments are by law null and void. Yet, the courts refuse to vacate them. Also on the flash drive are copies of the complaint letters I sent to Senators Graham, Feinstein, Grassley, and Harris; along with copies of complaint letters I sent to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, and Attorney General William Barr.
            The conduct of San Jose city officials and federal court officials is an egregious abuse of power that violates the public trust. What makes their conduct truly appalling is that their intent is to cover up racism and bigotry. The evidence of racism by San Jose city officials is indisputable because they state in court papers that the City’s anti-discrimination policies did not protect me, a black person, and that they had no duty to investigate my racial discrimination complaints against City officials. Even though San Jose city policy specifically states that discrimination complaints will be investigated, the courts ruled in favor of the City. It is worthy to note that state law and precedent also establish that City officials had a duty to investigate my discrimination complaints, and that they can be held liable individually under Section 1983 based on their deliberate indifference. Further evidence of bias by the courts and indifference to the City’s racist conduct is that the court in one proceeding exhibited hostility toward my discrimination lawsuit by asking why I was making this a federal case and why I didn’t just drop the darn thing (my lawsuit). Bias is also indicated by the fact that the courts ruled in favor of the City in my first lawsuit despite City officials’ admission that they had violated City policy and a state law that implicates a constitutionally protected interest. This flagrant bias against me by the courts also makes the judgments in my lawsuits null and void.  I want to make it clear that I am alleging that Senator Graham, Senator Grassley, Senator Feinstein, and Senator Harris are
                                                                                                                                                Page 3

intentionally covering up this matter. It is sufficiently clear that these Senators are in violation of the Ethic Rules of the Senate, as well as, the oath they took to protect and uphold the Constitution. A credible criminal case for collusion and obstruction of justice can also be made against these Senators because the intentional cover-up of a crime is in itself a crime. An investigation into this matter is warranted in order to protect the integrity of our judicial system and to set right this unjust situation. Please inform me of what action the Senate Select Committee will take in regards to my allegation.

                                                                                                            Sincerely,

Re: Complaint made with the Inspector General against the Department of Justice and the F.B.I.

Dear Chairman Graham:

            In a letter dated September 1, 2017, I informed you of a complaint I made with the F.B.I. and the Department of Justice against several San Jose city officials and officials with the U.S. District Court and Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for public corruption based on crimes they committed during the litigation of two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose for racial and disability discrimination. I am black/African American. I received no response from you in regards to my letter. Please be aware that I also informed several other Members of Congress about my public corruption complaints as well. So far, there has not been an investigation initiated into my complaints by the F.B.I., the Department of Justice or Congress.
            The purpose of this letter is to inform you and the Senate Judiciary Committee of my complaint with Inspector General Michael Horowitz that several officials with the F.B.I. and the Department of Justice are engaged in a cover-up of the crimes committed by San Jose city officials and the federal court officials mentioned above. With this letter is a copy of the September 2017 letter I sent to you, as well as, copies of letters I sent to former Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, Attorney General William Barr, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler.
            Also enclosed is a flash drive containing letters and documents I sent to Inspector General Horowitz and Chief Judge Sidney R. Thomas of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The letter and documents sent to the Inspector General detail the criminal acts of San Jose city officials and the federal court officials. The letter and documents sent to Chief Judge Thomas establishes that the judgments by the courts in my discrimination lawsuits against the City of San Jose are fraudulent and are void under the law. Yet, the courts refuse to vacate them as is required by law.
            I respectfully request that you present this matter before the entire Senate Judiciary Committee for investigation and action based on the compelling evidence of criminal misconduct by San Jose city officials and officials with the U.S. District Court and Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, as well as, the cover-up of the crimes of these officials by the F.B.I. and the Department of Justice. Please advise me of the action that will be taken regarding my complaints.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Sincerely,

Pending Ethics Complaints Against Pelosi, Nadler, and Schiff Undermines the Impeachment Inquiry

Post #57 (11/13/19)
As Democrats move forward with a formal impeachment inquiry into the conduct of President Trump with public hearings, their leaders, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and Jerrold Nadler face their own ethics complaints with the Office of Congressional Ethics. The ethics complaints which were filed by me on August 12th allege that the three Democrats violated the ethics rules of the House of Representatives, as well as, their oaths to protect and uphold the Constitution. The ethics violations against Pelosi, Nadler, and Schiff are based on their intentional cover-up of racist and criminal misconduct by San Jose city officials, officials with the U.S. District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that occurred during litigation of two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose for racial and disability discrimination. I am black/African American. Pelosi, Nadler, and Schiff failed to respond to complaint letters I filed with them in 2018 and earlier this year that details a case-fixing scheme by San Jose city officials and federal court officials involving perjury, bribery, fraud and several other public corruption crimes.

 The ethics complaints against Pelosi, Nadler, and Schiff undermine impeachment proceedings against President Trump, making the proceeding appear partisan and politically motivated. Democrats have accused the president of abusing his power, violating the Constitution, and betraying his oath of office based on his phone call with President Zelensky of Ukraine. Pelosi and the Democrats have stated constantly that they have a constitutional responsibility to provide oversight of Trump and to hold him accountable. Pelosi has stated that the first responsibility of Congress is to protect the Constitution. She also stated that the purpose of the impeachment inquiry is to build an “ironclad” case for impeaching the President. These claims by Pelosi are disingenuous considering that she, Nadler and Schiff have refused to open an inquiry into the ironclad case of racism and criminal misconduct by San Jose city officials and officials with the U.S. District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The impeachment inquiry reveals a double standard by Pelosi, Nadler, and Schiff. While zealous in their oversight of the President based on accusations that he has violated the Constitution, they have deliberately covered up several violations of the Constitution by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. District Court during litigation of my lawsuits against the City of San Jose. Pelosi, Nadler, and Schiff have made a conscious decision to ignore their constitutional responsibility to provide oversight of the federal courts with the same resolve as President Trump. For this reason, it should be difficult for Americans to view the impeachment inquiry as having any credibility. It is Pelosi, Nadler, and Schiff that are guilty of committing impeachable offenses by their cover-up of the criminal, racist and bigoted misconduct of San Jose city officials and officials with the US District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Below are copies of my complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics and the notices I sent to Pelosi, Nadler, and Schiff:

Re: Ethics Violations by Members of the House of Representatives

Dear Members of the Office of Congressional Ethics:

            I respectfully request that your office conduct an investigation into ethics violations and criminal misconduct by the following Members of the House of Representatives and/or their staffs: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Jerrold Nadler, and Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff. I am alleging that Speaker Pelosi, Chairman Nadler, Chairman Schiff, and/or members of their staffs are engaged in a cover-up of racism and criminal misconduct by San Jose city officials, officials with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California – San Jose Division and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that occurred during litigation of two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose for racial and disability discrimination. I am black/African American. Speaker Pelosi, Chairman Nadler, and Chairman Schiff failed to take action on letters I submitted to each detailing the racist and criminal acts perpetrated by San Jose city officials and officials with the U.S. District Court and Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The criminal misconduct by San Jose city officials and the courts include bribery, conspiracy to obstruct justice and obstruction of justice, subornation of perjury and perjury, fraud, and witness tampering. These criminal acts involve creating a false document relative to a fraudulent stipulation of dismissal, falsifying court records, staging a phony hearing on a motion I filed and creating a fraudulent transcript and civil minutes for that hearing that contradict each other. Furthermore, the rulings of the courts in each of my lawsuits are biased in favor of the City of San Jose and they are wholly inconsistent with the indisputable facts and well established law.
            On the website of the Office of Congressional Ethics, it states that the Office of Congressional Ethics of the House of Representatives is an independent, non-partisan entity charged with reviewing allegations of misconduct against Members, officers, and staff. It is sufficiently clear that this matter is within the jurisdiction of the Office of Congressional Ethics. It is also well established that the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right of the people to petition the government for a redress of grievances. The definition of redress by Merriam-Webster is to set right or remedy an unjust or unfair situation.

Thomas.
The conduct of San Jose city officials and federal court officials is an egregious abuse of power that violates the public trust. What makes their conduct truly appalling is that their intent is to cover up racism, bigotry and corruption. The evidence of racism by San Jose city officials is indisputable because they state in court papers that the City’s anti-discrimination policies does not protect me, a black person, and that they had no duty to investigate my racial discrimination complaints against City officials. Even though San Jose city policy specifically states that discrimination complaints will be investigated, the courts ruled in favor of the City stating that there were no set of facts that I could allege to make my racial discrimination claim viable. It is worthy to note that state law and precedent also establish that City officials had a duty to investigate my discrimination complaints, and that they can be held liable individually under Section 1983 based on their deliberate indifference. Further evidence of bias by the courts and indifference to the City’s racist conduct is that the court in one proceeding exhibited hostility toward my discrimination lawsuit by asking why I was making this a federal case and why I didn’t just drop the darn thing (my lawsuit).

In covering up this clear case of bigotry and public corruption, Speaker Pelosi, Chairman Nadler, and Chairman Schiff have violated the ethics rules of the House of Representatives, as well as the oath they took to protect and uphold the Constitution. A credible criminal case for collusion and obstruction of justice can also be made against Speaker Pelosi, Chairman Nadler, and Chairman Schiff because the intentional cover-up of a crime is in itself a crime.

Re: Complaint made with the Office of Congressional Ethics - U.S. House of Representatives

Dear Speaker Pelosi:

             Please be advised of the complaint that I have made with the Office of Congressional Ethics against you. My complaint is due to your repeated failures to take action on my allegations as stated in letters I sent to you dated May, 6, 2019 and June 18, 2018 that San Jose city officials and officials with the U.S. District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals committed several criminal acts during the litigation of two discrimination lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose. The purpose of the criminal misconduct by San Jose city officials and the courts is to cover up racism and bigotry by San Jose city officials against me based on my employment as a police officer with the City of San Jose. I am black/African American. A copy of my complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics is included with this letter. Also included are copies of several documents on a flash drive that were submitted to the Office of Congressional Ethics that support my complaint. It is unmistakable that Members of Congress, as well as, officials with the Department of Justice and F.B.I. are engaged in a conspiracy to cover up the racism and corruption of San Jose city officials and the federal courts.
            Speaker Pelosi you and members of your party have been vocal critics of President Trump when it come to the issues of race and corruption. You have stated in the past that President Trump is a racist, and that he wants to make America white again. Even though you have not supported your party’s rush to impeach the President, you have stated that you would like to see the President in prison for obstruction of justice relative to the Mueller Investigation.
            To further paint the President as a racist, you and your party condemned the President for a tweet he sent out suggesting that four Congresswomen of color should go back to where they came from if they didn’t like it here in this country. You spearheaded the effort of Congress to pass a resolution condemning the President for his tweet against the four Congresswomen. You and your party also condemned as racist the President’s tweet against House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings stating that Baltimore, which is located in his district, is a rat infested hell hole.
            You and your party have been quick to condemn President Trump for his tweets that are not criminal or violate anyone’s rights. Yet,  you and members of your party have refused to take any action on the flagrantly racist and criminal misconduct of San Jose city officials and officials with the U.S. District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that violates my due process rights, my equal protection rights, and my rights to freedom of speech. What also makes the lack of action by you and your party to protect my rights shocking and unconscionable is your efforts
                                                                                                                                                Page 2

to protect and provide rights to non-citizens that enter this country illegally or is here illegally because they overstayed their visas. Certainly I, a black citizen, should expect the Democratic Party to provide the same protections for my rights as is provided for non-citizens. Speaker Pelosi, it is clear from the lack of action regarding my complaints by you, Chairman Nadler, and Chairman Schiff that Democrats are not morally superior to President Trump on the issues of race and corruption. Please be aware that I have no intentions of giving up my rights relative to this matter. If Congress does not address this injustice, then I will be forced to address this matter in other lawful ways, as well as through non-violent civil disobedience.  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Sincerely,

Re: Complaint made with the Office of Congressional Ethics - U.S. House of Representatives

Dear Chairman Nadler:

             Please be advised of the complaint that I have made with the Office of Congressional Ethics against you, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff. A copy of my complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics that state the basis for my complaint is included with this letter. Also included are copies of several documents on a flash drive that were submitted to the Office of Congressional Ethics that support my complaint.
            Chairman Nadler, you and members of your party have frequently condemned President Trump for his tweets that have been described as being racist. Two of the President’s recent tweets involve insensitive comments about four Congresswomen of color and House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings. In a statement on the floor of Congress, you condemned President Trump’s tweet urging the four Congresswomen of color to go back to where they came from. You stated that Democrats denounce all of the offensive comments that emanate from the White House while Republicans remain silent. Yet, you and the Democrats are totally silent and refuse to respond to my complaints that San Jose city officials and officials with the U.S. District Court in San Jose and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals committed several felonies during the litigation of two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose for discrimination based on my race and disability. I am black/African American.
            I respectfully remind you of your efforts to protect and provide rights to non-citizens that are in this country illegally. Certainly I, a black law abiding citizen, should expect Democrats to protect my constitutional rights. It is clear though from the lack of action by you and members of your party that Democrats are not morally superior to President Trump on the issues of race and corruption. I also remind you that you have stated in the past that the Democrats’ impeachment inquiries are based on Congress’ obligation to provide oversight of the President. The same obligation that Congress has to provide oversight of the Executive Branch applies equally to the Judicial Branch. The Judiciary Committee, led by you Chairman Nadler, has conducted hearings into several current and former members of the Trump administration and subpoenaed several documents relative to Mueller’s investigation in an effort to build a case against the president for impeachment, under the notion that President Trump is not above the law. Yet, you and Members of Congress have taken no action against the racist and criminal misconduct of San Jose city officials and officials with the U.S. District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. It is clear that there is a case-fixing scheme involving courts in the Ninth Circuit that has completely undermined our democracy, the judicial system and the rule of law. Much of the evidence that proves my allegations are true is in the records of the court that is public
                                                                                                                                                Page 2

information. It is clear that the House of Representatives, under the leadership of the Democrats, has a double standard when it comes to providing oversight of the Executive and Judicial Branches of government. President Trump receives endless oversight, whereas, the federal courts receive none whatsoever. I make this stern warning. I will never give up my rights in this matter. If there is no just resolution to this matter, I will address it in other lawful ways and/or through non-violent civil disobedience. If you wish to discuss this matter, I can be contacted by letter or phone.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Sincerely,

Dear Chairman Schiff:

             Please be advised of the complaint that I have made with the Office of Congressional Ethics against you, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler. A copy of my complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics that state the basis for my complaint is included with this letter. Also included are copies of several documents on a flash drive that were submitted to the Office of Congressional Ethics that support my complaint.
            Chairman Schiff, you are one of the biggest critics of President Trump. You have called him a racist based on his tweets and immigration policies. You have called for his impeachment based on his conduct during the Mueller Investigation. Yet, you refuse to call for an investigation into the racist and corrupt actions of San Jose city officials and officials with the U.S. District Court in San Jose and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals during litigation of two discrimination lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose. I am black/African American. Your condemnation of the President as being racist and corrupt seems to be hypocritical in light of your cover up of the misconduct of San Jose city officials and the federal courts. Since all of my efforts to resolve this matter through proper legal channels have failed, please be aware of my intent to seek a just resolution through other lawful means and through non-violent civil disobedience. I can be contacted by letter or phone if you wish to discuss this matter.
