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:

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

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,

                                                                                                            Frederick Bates

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,

                                                                                                                Frederick Bates
