Trump Is Right For Questioning FBI Director Christopher Wray's Attitude

Post #60 (December 10, 2019)

FBI Director Christopher Wray stated in an interview on ABC on Monday (12/9/2019) that he would take serious the findings of the Inspector General (IG) that there were numerous errors by the FBI during the investigation of the Trump campaign in 2016. However, Director Wray pointed out that the IG found that the probe into the Trump campaign was opened with appropriate predication and authorization, and that there was no evidence of political bias when the FBI began investigating political contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Clearly, President Trump is not satisfied with Director Wray's response to the IG's report. He tweeted earlier today that he did not believe Director Wray was reading the same report that he, President Trump, had been given. Mr. Trump stated that because of Director Wray's attitude, he will never be able to fix the FBI, which is badly broken despite having some of the greatest men and women working there.

Just as I stated in a post on December 6, 2017, I am again saying that the President calling out Director Wray in his tweet today has credibility. Since 2014, I have filed public corruption complaints with the FBI against the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, the US District Court in San Jose, and several San Jose city officials. Even though I presented indisputable evidence that these officials committed several felonies during the litigation of two discrimination lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose, Director Wray and the FBI refused to respond to my complaints. It is sufficiently clear that Director Wray and the FBI have problems with ethics. President Trump is right to believe that Director Wray cannot fix the problems at the FBI because of his apparent lack of resolve to do so. Below is a copy of a complaint I filed with Inspector General Horowitz against Director Wray:

Attn: Michael Horowitz – Inspector General

Re: Public Corruption Complaints

Dear Mr. Horowitz,

            I respectfully request that you open an investigation into the conduct of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I.) and the Department of Justice based on their failure to open an investigation into public corruption complaints I filed against San Jose city officials and officials with the U.S. District Court – San Jose Division and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. My complaints, in the form of letters, allege that these officials committed several felonies during the litigation of two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose for racial and disability discrimination. I am black/African American. The crimes I allege against these officials include conspiracy to obstruct justice and obstruction of justice, subornation of perjury and perjury, bribery, and fraud. Accompanying my complaint letters to the F.B.I. and Department of Justice was credible evidence supporting my allegations. Here is a list of my complaint letters with the dates and the parties to whom they were directed, as well as dates of meetings with F.B.I. officials:

May 24, 2014 – Letter to Special Agent in Charge David J. Johnson – San Francisco F.B.I. Field Office
May 24, 2014 – Letter to Melinda Haag – U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California
June 17, 2015 – Email letter to F.B.I. San Francisco Field Office that documents a phone contact with an F.B.I. employee in the San Francisco Field Office and a meeting with an F.B.I. agent in the Jackson Mississippi Field Office
July 24, 2017 – Letter to U.S. Department of Justice-Washington, D.C. (To Whom It May Concern)
July 27, 2017 – Letter to F.B.I. Headquarters-Washington, D.C. (To Whom It May Concern)
July 29, 2017 – Letter to Brian Stretch – U.S. Attorney’s Office-Northern District of California
July 29, 2017 – Letter to Special Agent in Charge John F. Bennett - San Francisco F.B.I. Field Office
August 18, 2017 – Documentation of meeting with F.B.I. Special Agent in Sacramento, CA Field Office

October 24, 2017 – Letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions                                       
October 30, 2017 – Letter to F.B.I. Director Christopher Wray
April 16, 2018 - Letter to F.B.I. Director Christopher Wray
April 16, 2018 - Letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions

Included with this letter are copies of the above letters and evidence attached to each that proves they were delivered to the above officials. For this reason, I am making a complaint against each for failure to take action and for engaging in a cover-up. I am well aware that the F.B.I. and the Department of Justice does not normally intervene in matters involving the courts based on the separation of powers doctrine. However, when there is credible evidence that court officials have engaged in public corruption, as is the case here, the F.B.I. and Department of Justice is obligated to investigate the crimes involved in order to protect the integrity of our judicial system. Clearly, the officials that received my complaint letters had a legal and moral duty to take action.
            What is clear to me from the contact I had with F.B.I. agents and the lack of response to my complaint letters is that there seems to be no interest in opening an investigation into this matter, even though this is one of the greatest abuses of power and breaches of the public trust by government officials in recent memory. And it is certainly one of the biggest frauds on the court and cheating scandals in the history of our judiciary.
            Along with the copies of the complaint letters noted above is an attachment that contain facts and evidence that corroborate the obstruction of justice/public corruption crimes I allege against San Jose city officials and officials with the U.S. District Court – San Jose Division and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Also included is a pdf file on a flash drive containing a complaint letter and documents I sent to Chief Judge Sidney R. Thomas of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The letter and documents sent to Judge Thomas provides more facts and evidence to support my allegations.
            Additionally, I am requesting an investigation of San Jose city officials for conducting an investigation of me in September 2018 that was malicious, retaliatory and meant to intimidate me and to violate my rights to free speech based on two emails I sent City officials relative to the criminal misconduct of City officials and the courts during litigation of the two lawsuits I filed against the City. The details surrounding the investigation by the City are also enclosed in a separate attachment. Please advise me of what action you will take in this matter.


                                                                                                            Sincerely,



                                                                                                            Frederick Bates

Senator Kamala Harris' KKK Moment

Post 42

You may have heard about Senator Kamala Harris' comments on Wednesday 11-14-18 comparing ICE to the KKK in a Senate hearing meant to determine if acting ICE Director Ronald Vitiello will become the agency's official director. Senator Harris said that in some communities there is the perception that ICE is a "domestic terrorist group" that uses "fear and intimidation" to target immigrants coming from Mexico and Central America based on their racial or ethnic background. I am somewhat surprised and disappointed that Senator Harris would make such a comparison between ICE and the KKK, an organization based on white supremacy. The KKK was clearly a terrorist organization with no legitimate law enforcement function. However, many local law enforcement officials in the South were members of the KKK. I am sure Senator Harris is aware that the KKK, in its early years after the Civil War, used fear and intimidation to discourage newly freed blacks in the South from participating in the political process by committing lynchings and other acts of violence. In the 1950's,1960's and 1970's the KKK used the same fear and intimidation tactics to discourage black participation in the Civil Rights Movement. I doubt very seriously Senator Harris believes ICE is a domestic terrorist organization with no legitimate law enforcement function. So far, I am not aware of any ICE agents that are accused of being white supremacists or being members of the KKK. I don't believe Senator Harris presented any objective evidence that ICE officials are trying to stop immigrants from voting or engaging in the political process. ICE is a federal agency. The KKK was mostly associated with local and state government officials.

I find Senator Harris' reference to the KKK to be somewhat hypocritical being that she has remained silent about the high tech lynching I suffered at the hands of San Jose city officials and officials with the US District Court and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. I am black/African American. The flagrantly bigoted manner in which I was treated by San Jose city officials after I retired from the City's police force and how I was treated by the federal courts during litigation of two discrimination lawsuits I filed against the City is more similar to the operations of the KKK than ICE officials doing their constitutional mandated job of enforcing immigration laws. Senator Harris' reference to the KKK is nothing more than a shameful attempt to gain media attention in order to enhance her political ambitions. This entire blog has been devoted to the racist and criminal misconduct of San Jose city officials, the US District Court and 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. My message for Senator Harris is that the high tech lynching I suffered is not a perception, it is a reality. In addition to this blog, you can find more details about this matter on my group facebook page at:

Re: Public Corruption Complaint

Dear Senator Harris,

            Enclosed are copies of letters and documents I sent to the Judiciary Committee, the Department of Justice and FBI making a complaint of public corruption against several San Jose city officials, and officials with the US District Court for the Northern District of California – San Jose Division and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals relative to two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose. It should be noted that when you were Attorney General, I sent you a letter in May 2014 requesting an investigation into public corruption by many of the same officials named in my current complaint. No investigation was completed.
            I respectfully request that you seek an investigation into my current public corruption complaint by the Department of Justice, the FBI, and Congress because public corruption undermines our institutions of government just as the meddling into our past presidential election by the Russians. Congress and several agencies of the government have gone to great lengths to ensure that future presidential elections are not marginalized by the interference of nations hostile to our democracy. Yet, there has been very little done to ensure Americans that they will have a level playing field when settling disputes with the government in our federal courts. It is undeniable that the US District Court and San Jose city officials conspired to obstruct justice in my two lawsuits by falsifying court records, by creating false documents, by staging a fake hearing on a Rule 60 motion I filed, and by creating a fraudulent transcript for that hearing. It is also undeniable that the courts failed to follow federal laws relating to issue preclusion and a stipulation of dismissal that places strict limitations on their discretion.
            The misconduct of San Jose city officials and the courts in my lawsuits represent one of the most egregious breaches of the public trust imaginable, as well as, a case of brazen and persistent cheating. These officials have made a conscious decision to place themselves above the law. I respectfully remind you that you retweeted  a tweet by Senator Blumenthal a few days ago directed to the President stating that “no one is above the law.” It is my hope that you take the same view concerning my public corruption complaint.

                                                                                                            Sincerely yours,



                                                                                                            Frederick Bates

Who Is The Gravest Threat To Democracy? Is It President Trump or Congressman Adam Schiff?

Post 36

Most of you are probably aware of the spectacle surrounding the summit in Helsenski involving President Trump and Russian President Vladmir Putin. Responses from Republicans and Democrats alike have been very critical of President Trump because of his refusal to condemn Putin for Russia's alleged interference during the 2016 presidential election during a joint news conference by Putin and Trump. I have to say I agree with Trump's tweet yesterday (7-22-18) that this Russian meddling and Trump-Russia controversy is all a big hoax. This is no new position for me. I questioned the credibility of this Russian meddling and collusion nonsense in a post on 7-31-18. Just as the President asked in his tweet, why didn't President Obama do something about this attack? Why isn't there any criticism of Mr. Obama for not publicly calling out Putin for his role in this supposedly attack on our democracy? The other big issue for me is that the Mueller investigation into Russian meddling and Trump- Russia collusion only began because of the firing of FBI Director James Comey. It is as simple as this. No Comey firing. No Mueller investigation. It is unlikely that I will ever see the Mueller investigation as being credible. As I implied in my post on 7-31-18, this is all about deceiving the American people. The Mueller investigation is all about retaliation. It's not about Russian meddling or collusion between Trump and Russia. The weak and do nothing Congress has to detract Americans from their own corruption and dysfunction by giving attention to this Mueller investigation and constantly attacking President Trump and the Russians. This is all about politics. This scandal is a national disgrace, and its not all because of President Trump. He has every right to be ticked off by this Russia nonsense. Some Democrats and Republicans alike continue to refer to Russia's apparent meddling into the past presidential election as some kind of attack on our democracy. Yet, they refuse to do anything about the public corruption in many of our federal courts that is destroying our judicial system. Public corruption is the greatest threat to our democracy. Many of my prior posts detail public corruption crimes by the US District Court, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and San Jose city officials during two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose for racial and disability discrimination. Congressman Adam Schiff, one of the most vocal critics of the President, called President Trump the gravest threat to our democracy. But Congressman Schiff has not responded to my letter requesting an investigation into public corruption crimes committed by San Jose city officials and officials with the US District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Because of Congressman Schiff's unwillingness to take action against public corruption that threatens our institutions of government, he is more of a threat to democracy than President Trump. Below is a copy of the letter I sent to Congressman Schiff:

Re: Public corruption complaint against officials with the City of San Jose, the U.S. District Court – San Jose Division and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals

Dear Congressman Schiff,

            The purpose of this letter is to bring to your attention public corruption complaints I filed with the F.B.I., the Department of Justice, the House Judiciary Committee, and Chief Judge Sidney R. Thomas of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals against officials with the City of San Jose, the U.S. District Court – San Jose Division and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals relative to two lawsuits I filed against the City. Please be aware that I have also notified several other members of Congress seeking their help in opening an investigation into my complaints. The members of Congress include, Senators Feinstein, Harris, McCain and Graham; Speaker Paul Ryan, House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte and Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren. So far I have only received one response from Senator Feinstein that does not address my request for an investigation.
            I have enclosed copies of my complaints that contain indisputable facts and evidence that San Jose city officials conspired with district court officials to obstruct justice during the litigation of my first lawsuit by falsifying court dockets, creating a false document regarding a fraudulent stipulation of dismissal and staging a fake hearing on a Rule 60 motion I filed and then creating a false transcript of that purported hearing. It should be noted that I was told by a court official over the phone and in person that there would be no hearing on my motion. As to my second lawsuit, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals officials terminated an appeal I filed challenging the district court’s denial of my motion for relief from judgment without allowing me to file an opening brief. It is unmistakable that the judgments in both of my lawsuits are flagrantly biased, based on fraud, and are inconsistent with federal statutory law, the U.S. Constitution and binding precedent of the Supreme Court and Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The judgments are void and unenforceable by law. Yet, the judgments are being enforced by the courts. I find this to be intolerable.
I am well aware that I do not reside in your congressional district and that you are not my representative in Congress. I am bringing this matter to your attention out of extreme anger and frustration because of the lack of response my complaints have gotten by members of Congress, the Judiciary Committee, the F.B.I. and D.O.J. I am counting on you to take action on my complaints based on a statement you made during the impeachment of former district judge Thomas Porteous Jr. During those proceedings, you stated that litigants have the right to expect a judge hearing their case will be fair and impartial, and avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
                                                                                                                                                Page 2

Not only were the judges in my cases biased, they made no attempt at all to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
My anger and frustration also results from the fact that as a black/African American that grew up in the South during Jim Crow I have been treated with less respect and dignity by San Jose city officials and the federal courts than I was treated by the segregationist government officials I encountered. I am desperate to obtain a fair resolution to this matter. To that end, I am willing to take some extreme measures. This is not a threat to engage in violence. But going to jail in protest of this blatantly racist and bigoted violation of my rights by San Jose city officials and the courts is clearly an option for me. At this point, I feel I have nothing to lose.
It is absolutely stunning that many of the same members of Congress I notified about my complaints called President Trump a racist based on an alleged comment he made about African countries in a private meeting. But they have done nothing in regards to my complaints, even though I allege that San Jose city officials discriminated against me based on my race and disability, and that these officials committed several crimes relating to public corruption. It is also stunning that San Jose city officials and courts within the Ninth Circuit are willing to grant privileges to undocumented immigrants and refugees while at the same time I am being deprived of my rights that are guaranteed by law. Many of the members of Congress I just mentioned in this letter, including you, support the pro immigrant efforts of San Jose city officials and the federal courts. Certainly, one would think that I should be treated with the same respect and dignity as non-citizens. After the humiliating experience of living in the South during Jim Crow, I have paid my dues.
It is clear that there is a cover-up occurring of this scandal, not only to hide the racist conduct of San Jose city officials, but also to hide the fact that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and many district courts within the circuit are engaging in a huge case fixing scheme. It is my hope that you will take advantage of the small window of opportunity that’s left to address my complaints, otherwise, I will make good on my promise to take care of this matter in my own way. Please read the enclosed documents, especially the letter and attachments I sent to Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Chief Judge Sidney R. Thomas. They prove without a doubt that the judgments in my cases are void; that criminal misconduct occurred during the litigation of my cases; and they contain my demands that must be met in order for this matter to be resolved.

                                                                                                Sincerely,


                                                                                                Frederick Bates
