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
Page

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
