Where is the Attorney General? - Good Question Mr. President

Post 35

You might be aware of President Trump's tweet yesterday (7-11-18) that goes like this:

As I head out to a very important NATO meeting, I see that FBI Lover/ Agent Lisa Page is dodging a Subpoena & is refusing to show up and testify. What can she possibly say about her statements and lies. So much corruption on the other side. Where is the Attorney General?

Well Mr. President, I have been asking that same question about AG Sessions for about a year since I filed a public corruption complaint with him against several San Jose city officials and officials with the US District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in July 2017 for criminal misconduct committed during the litigation of two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose for racial and disability discrimination. I also filed letters with the AG in October 2017 and April 2018. Among the criminal acts committed by these officials were conspiracy, obstruction of justice, subornation of perjury, perjury, bribery and fraud. These are only some of the crimes that were committed. There were many others that are too numerous to mention here. What is so disgusting about this scandal is that much of the misconduct committed by these officials is to cover up racism and bigotry by San Jose city officials, and more disturbing than that, to cover up an elaborate case-fixing scheme by the US District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

This scandal has caused more harm to our institutions of government, particularly the judiciary, than an other scandal in modern history. The officials involved have absolute disdain for the Constitution and the rule of law. Just as you have stated on prior occasions Mr. President, the courts are rigged. It is absolutely shocking that there has not been an investigation initiated into this matter by the DOJ or the FBI. So Mr. President when you do finally track down the Attorney General, as I am sure you will, would you please take up this issue with him? Copies of the letters I filed with AG Sessions are below:

Re: Public Corruption Complaint
To Whom It May Concern:
            The purpose of this letter is to request an investigation into my complaint of public corruption against officials of the City of San Jose, the U.S. 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 in August 2006 and December 2015 for violating my civil rights. My first lawsuit resulted after I was unlawfully denied a CCW permit following my medical disability retirement from the San Jose Police Department. My second lawsuit resulted after San Jose city officials refused to investigate my discrimination and misconduct complaints against the City Attorney’s Office and three police administrators relative to the denial of my CCW permit.
            My allegation of public corruption against San Jose city officials relating to my first lawsuit is in regards to a stipulation of dismissal, the depositions of two police officials, and a motion for summary judgment filed by the City of San Jose. As to the stipulation of dismissal, San Jose City Attorney Richard Doyle, Assistant City Attorney Nora Frimann, and former Deputy City Attorney Michael Dodson conspired with my former attorney, Stuart Kirchick, to obstruct justice by stipulating to the dismissal of Defendant Tuck Younis without my knowledge or consent, then misrepresented to the court that I had agreed to the dismissal. The dismissal provided me no benefit whatsoever, and the clear purpose of the dismissal of Younis was to sabotage my case because the evidence is incontrovertible that Younis violated my constitutional rights. I have evidence strongly suggesting that the dismissal of Younis resulted from a quid pro quo arrangement between Kirchick and the San Jose City Attorney’s Office. The crimes implicated are conspiracy, obstruction of justice, honest services fraud and bribery.
As to the depositions of the two police officials, City Attorney Richard Doyle, Assistant City Attorney Nora Frimann, former Deputy City Attorney Michael Dodson, former Chief of Police Robert Davis, former Assistant Chief of Police Tuck Younis and former Deputy Chief of Police Adonna Amoroso conspired to present false testimony under oath in the depositions of Younis and Amoroso in June 2007. Younis and Amoroso did, in fact, commit perjury in their depositions. Several perjured statements from the depositions of Younis and Amoroso were used by Doyle, Frimann and Dodson in support of the City’s motion for summary judgment which was filed with the clear intent of perpetrating fraud on the court. The district court granted the City’s summary judgment motion, even though it is a total hoax based on a false premise and the
                                                                                                                                                Page 2 
perjured testimony of Younis and Amoroso. I have evidence to present proving that there was a quid pro quo between Younis and San Jose city officials for his perjured testimony. The crimes implicated are conspiracy, subornation of perjury and perjury, bribery, and obstruction of justice.
My allegation of public corruption against officials of the United States District Court relate to a scheme by court officials to conduct a fake hearing on a Rule 60 motion I filed in February 2013 seeking relief from the order granting the City’s motion for summary judgment.
In order to carry out this scheme, Courtroom Deputy Jackie Garcia and another court official (initials “bw”) falsified docket entries by mischaracterizing my motion as pertaining to “costs taxed.” My motion had nothing to do with “costs taxed.” The basis for my motion was that attorneys for the City of San Jose perpetrated fraud on the court with the filing of the City’s fabricated motion for summary judgment; and on the failure of the courts to follow 28 U.S.C. Section 1738 (the Full Faith and Credit Act) in their application of collateral estoppel or issue preclusion to a small claims court judgment relied upon by the City.
            The hearing on my Rule 60 motion was held on April 26, 2013 in front of Judge Ronald M. Whyte. It is clear that the hearing was a total sham because I was advised weeks earlier by Court Clerk Cita Escolano that no hearing would be held on my motion. Escolano stated that my motion would be decided on the papers submitted; and that the decision of the court would be sent to my residence. Escolano also informed me that I did not have to appear in court on the April 26, 2013 hearing date. I have a witness that will corroborate these claims. Based on the instructions of Escolano, I did not appear for the hearing.
According to the transcript of Court Reporter Lee-Anne Shortridge, the court disposed of my Rule 60 motion during the hearing by granting the City’s “motion to dismiss” made by Deputy San Jose City Attorney Richard North because I failed to appear. However, no word for word account of the motion to dismiss by the City appears in the transcript or anywhere in the record. The City’s motion to dismiss is a mystery. It appears that the City’s mystery motion to dismiss was either intentionally omitted from the official transcript or it was made ex parte. Further confusing the issue is the fact that the Civil Minutes of Courtroom Deputy Jackie Garcia contradicts the official transcript of Court Reporter Lee-Anne Shortridge. The Civil Minutes shows that the court made a ruling during the hearing denying my motion by finding that it was untimely and that no evidence was presented to support my theories for relief. While there is uncertainty as to what happened during the hearing, there is no uncertainty that the hearing and the judgment on my motion, that is biased in favor of the City of San Jose, was rigged as a result of a conspiracy involving Judge Whyte, Courtroom Deputy Jackie Garcia, Court Reporter Lee-Anne Shortridge, Court Clerk Cita Escolano, and San Jose Deputy City Attorney Richard North. The crimes implicated as to these officials are conspiracy, fraud, and obstruction of justice.
It should be noted that I filed two additional Rule 60 motions in September 2013 and May 2016 also seeking relief from the judgment in my first lawsuit on the basis of the fraudulent stipulation of dismissal of Defendant Tuck Younis and on the courts’ misapplication of collateral estoppel or issue preclusion. Even though relief was mandatory based on the courts’ lack of discretion as it relates to these two issues, my motions were denied by the district court just as my first Rule 60 motion filed in February 2013.
My allegation of public corruption against San Jose city officials also pertains to a vast conspiracy to cover up this public corruption scandal. It is undeniable that current and former San Jose city officials refused to investigate discrimination and criminal misconduct complaints I
                                                                                                                                                Page 3
filed against the San Jose City Attorney’s Office and former police officials Davis, Younis and Amoroso relative to the denial of my CCW privileges. Former City officials I filed complaints with include Mayor Chuck Reed and the City Council in 2010. My most recent complaints against the City Attorney’s Office were filed with current San Jose mayor Sam Liccardo and members of the San Jose City Council in June 2015 and October 2015. The refusal of City officials to investigate my discrimination and misconduct complaints is clear evidence of a cover-up. The City’s failure to investigate my complaints formed the basis of my second lawsuit filed in December 2015. San Jose city policy and California law mandates that an investigation be conducted into discrimination complaints.
It is also clear that there is a vast conspiracy by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California – San Jose Division and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to cover up this scandal and to punish me for exercising my right to free speech with their biased and corrupt rulings in my two lawsuits. It is indisputable that all of the rulings of the district court relative to my first lawsuit are void judgments because, as noted above, the court did not follow the requirements of the Full Faith and Credit Act by failing to follow California preclusion law in giving preclusive effect to a small claims judgment from California. The district court also failed to follow the requirements of FRCP 41 by permitting the San Jose City Attorney’s Office and my former attorney to stipulate to the dismissal of Defendant Tuck Younis without my knowledge or consent, in clear violation of my absolute right as the plaintiff.
            As to my second lawsuit, Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins dismissed by complaint pursuant to FRCP 12(b)(6) even though, the precedent he cited as authority unequivocally proves the claims in my complaint. Judge Cousins also did not allow me the opportunity to amend my complaint as is required by FRCP 15(a), and he denied my Rule 60 motion seeking relief from his clearly erroneous judgment. Judge Cousins’ rulings show a willful and wanton disregard for my due process rights and are evidence that he is part of the courts’ conspiracy to obstruct justice.
            Evidence of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ participation in the cover up of this scandal is compelling. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals failed to take action on motions and letters I filed in 2010, 2011 and 2012 seeking to vacate the orders of the Ninth Circuit Court that affirms the clearly erroneous judgments of the district court in my first lawsuit. No reasonable explanation was given for the court’s lack of action. Further evidence of a cover-up by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is that former Chief Judge Judge Alex Kozinski failed to take action on a complaint I filed in May 2010 against the San Jose City Attorney’s Office. Judge Kozinski responded to my complaint with false information that he had no authority to consider complaints against state officials. He stated that I must file my complaint against the City Attorney’s Office with state and local authorities. This claim by Judge Kozinski is not credible because Ninth Circuit Rule 46-2 states that the Chief Judge may initiate disciplinary proceedings based on misconduct by attorneys before the Court of Appeals. Courts also have the inherent power to initiate disciplinary proceedings based on misconduct by attorneys.
            Additionally, the final appeal in each of my two lawsuits was disposed of by summary affirmance of the district court judgments with the outrageous claim that the issues I raised on appeal was so unsubstantial that no further argument was required. The issues I raised on appeal were that the district court rulings were biased; the court violated the Full Faith and Credit Act; the court failed to hold an evidentiary hearing based on my claim that I did not authorize the
                                                                                                                                                Page 4
stipulation of dismissal of Defendant Tuck Younis; and that the district court failed to follow precedent and federal law in dismissing my second lawsuit without leave to amend. It is insane for the court to find that these issues are unsubstantial. This is evidence of bias and a cover-up.       
I am well aware that the Department of Justice and the F.B. I. does not normally get involved in matters relating to on-going litigation involving the courts because of the “separation of powers” doctrine; and because of the importance of an independent judiciary that is necessary to the proper functioning of government. However, this is one of the most egregious cases of public corruption in recent memory. The criminal misconduct by the courts and San Jose city officials has been brazen and persistent with a total lack of regard for the truth, the Constitution and the rule of law. It is undeniable that these officials falsified court records, created false documents, and staged a fake hearing on one of my Rule 60 motions in order to facilitate a judgment in favor of the City of San Jose. The evidence is compelling that some of these officials were bribed in return for their involvement, whereas others appeared to have been coerced into participating. More appalling and detestable than the crimes committed, is the extent to which San Jose city officials and the courts have gone in order to cover-up this scandal. A criminal investigation is mandatory in order to restore credibility to our judicial system and to protect our democracy.
It should be noted that I filed a formal complaint with the F.B.I. and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Francisco against San Jose city officials and the courts for public corruption in letters dated May 24, 2014. It is apparent my complaint was not taken seriously because it does not appear that an investigation was initiated. I give caution that a failure of the government to act on my current complaint will have consequences because I have no intentions of honoring the judgments of the courts in my lawsuits because they are void by law. This fact is not debatable. The only final outcome to this matter that I will accept is that the judgments of the courts are reversed. And to make this happen, I am willing to take some extreme measures, including engaging in civil disobedience. But first I am willing to give the Department of Justice and Congress an opportunity to address this matter.
            Included with this letter are copies of my May 24, 2014 complaint letter and an email dated July 17, 2015 that I sent to the F.B.I. Also included are copies of a special motion and a motion for recusal of Judge Whyte, copies of two posts from my blog that provides additional facts about this scandal, and a copy of a letter I submitted to the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee dated July 24, 2017. The special motion and motion for recusal is undeniable proof that the judgments in my two lawsuits against the City of San Jose show such contempt for justice that they are a mockery. Additional information about the misconduct of San Jose city officials and federal court officials can be found at the links below: https://www.facebook.com/groups/624131267713226/
            I am also requesting a meeting with a representative from the Department of Justice in order to provide additional facts and evidence relative to my complaint.
                                                                                                Sincerely,
                                                                                                Frederick Bates

Re: Public Corruption Complaint

Dear Mr. Sessions,

            In a letter dated July 24, 2017, I filed a public corruption complaint with the Department of Justice against officials of the City of San Jose, the U.S. 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 in August 2006 and December 2015 for violating my civil rights. A copy of my complaint letter filed with the Department of Justice, as well as, copies of letters I filed with other government officials is also included. These letters present clear and convincing evidence that the US District Court and San Jose city officials conspired to obstruct justice in my first lawsuit 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. As to my second lawsuit, the US District Court dismissed it by citing two cases as precedent that actually supports my claims against the City. After dismissing my second lawsuit, the court refused to allow me an opportunity to amend my complaint as is required by FRCP 15 because of my pro se status. Additionally, the Ninth Circuit Court of appeals entered summary dispositions on several appeals I filed in both lawsuits in clear violation of the court’s own precedent. The latest summary disposition occurred September 21, 2017 prior to me being allowed to file an opening brief, even though, Ninth Circuit precedent stated in United States v. Hooton requires that for summary disposition to be appropriate, it must be manifest that the questions raised on the face of an appellant’s opening brief be so insubstantial as not to require further argument. Based on Ninth Circuit precedent as stated in the Hooton case, it is impossible for there to be a summary disposition without an appellant’s opening brief that states the questions being raised on appeal. A collusion and cover-up by San Jose city officials and the federal courts are undeniable.
            The purpose of this letter is to make a personal appeal to you to initiate an investigation into my complaint since I have not received a response from the Department of Justice, the FBI or the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee. Please take note that in 2014, I also filed a public corruption complaint with the FBI field office in San Francisco against 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. Apparently my complaint was not taken
                                                                                                                                                Page 2

seriously because there is no evidence that an investigation was ever completed. In my current complaint letters, I warn that a failure to take action on the egregious and criminal misconduct of the above officials will result in me taking action on my own in the form of civil disobedience.
            To show that I am serious about my warning, I met with an FBI agent on August 18, 2017 in the Sacramento office of the FBI located in Roseville, California. The name of that agent is unknown. During that meeting, I discussed many of the allegations in my complaint and the facts to support them. However, my primary purpose of the meeting was to make it very clear that I have run out of patience with the courts and that I will not abide by any of the courts’ ruling in my two lawsuits because it is unmistakable they are void judgments that were entered as a result of criminal misconduct. I also made it clear that I am frustrated and very angry with the lack of response from government officials to my complaint letters. I made it very clear to the FBI agent I spoke to that it will be my intent to “go to jail” in the near future based on acts of civil disobedience.
            I explained to the agent that my civil disobedience will be based on the clear instances where the courts violated the law relative to 28 USC Section 1738 (the Full Faith and Credit Act) and FRCP 41 that governs a stipulation of dismissal. As you are aware, the Full Faith and Credit Act commands federal courts to give the same preclusive effect to a state court judgment as would courts from the state where the judgment was rendered. Federal courts simply have no discretion in regards to this issue. Nevertheless, the courts dismissed by first lawsuit against the City of San Jose based on issue preclusion by giving preclusive effect to a small claims court judgment from California that the City won against me, even though it would not be given preclusive effect by courts in California since there is no record whatsoever from the Small Claims Court that shows what issue was litigated and determined. Furthermore, there was no litigation at all in my small claims case. The Small Claims Court made a ruling that implied it did not have authority to grant the compensation I was seeking without addressing any issues in my complaint. Courts in California will not apply issue preclusion against a plaintiff that loses in a small claims case unless there is a record that is “sufficiently clear” that the issue sought to be foreclosed upon was litigated and determined. It is indefensible that the courts would refuse to reverse their judgments as to this issue when it is clear from Supreme Court precedent and the courts’ very own precedent that their judgments are void judgments and are unenforceable by law based on their violation of the Full Faith and Credit Act.
            As to FRCP 41, the City of San Jose in collusion with my former attorney was allowed to fraudulently dismiss the main defendant in my lawsuit without any stated reason and without my knowledge and authority. The stipulation of dismissal provided me no benefits and it harmed my cause of action. The dismissal of a defendant or a cause of action is the absolute right of the plaintiff. The City acknowledged in their answer to my complaint that the defendant that was dismissed without my authority had taken actions that clearly violated my rights. This same defendant committed perjury in his deposition and in a declaration in support of a summary judgment motion the City filed. This defendant also refused to appear on two subpoenas in the small claims matter referred to above. While these claims might seem far-fetched, the evidence to support them is indisputable. Even so, the district court refused to conduct an evidentiary hearing on my motion for relief from the stipulation as is required by law. This is a clear violation of my right to due process and a case of bias and obstruction of justice.

                                                                                                                                                Page 3

            Just as I did with the FBI agent in the Sacramento office, I would like to make it clear to you in the most respectful manner possible that I will not accept the courts’ ruling in my lawsuits as being legitimate. And I will take some very drastic actions to affect their reversal through whatever reasonable and lawful extrajudicial means necessary since the courts have refused repeatedly to do what is lawful and just in my two lawsuits. If I receive no response from you,
the Department of Justice or the FBI in a reasonable amount of time, I will assume that my complaint is not a priority and I assure you I will make good on my threat to take matters into my own hands.
                                                                                                                                               
Additional details can also be found at the following links:

                I look forward to hearing from you regarding this matter.


                                                                                                            Sincerely,

Re: Supplement to Public Corruption Complaint Letter Dated July 24, 2017

Dear Mr. Sessions:

            This letter is a supplement to the complaint letter I submitted to the Department of Justice dated July 24, 2017. In that letter I made allegations that several San Jose city officials and officials with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California – San Jose Division and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals had committed several public corruption crimes relative to the litigation of two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose for violating my civil rights. In a letter to you dated October 24, 2017, I made a personal appeal to you to open an investigation into my complaints. In that letter, I mentioned that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals had entered summary dispositions on several appeals I filed in the two lawsuits referred to above. I also stated that the latest summary disposition had occurred September 21, 2017 prior to me being allowed to file an opening brief, in clear violation of Ninth Circuit precedent as stated by United States v. Hooton. Subsequent to my letter to you in October 2017, I filed a motion for reconsideration of the September 21, 2017 summary disposition order by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. (It should be noted that the summary disposition affirms the order of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California – San Jose Division denying my motion for relief from judgment in the second of the two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose. The District Court Case Number is 15-05729 NC and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Case Number is 17-16413)
            I am alleging in this supplemental complaint that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals committed fraud and obstructed justice relative to the handling of my motion for reconsideration. Because of my pro se status, I filed my motion for reconsideration by priority mail express on September 27, 2017. My motion was available for pick up by the court on September 28, 2017. The deadline for filing my notion was October 5, 2017. After being available to the court for seven (7) days, my motion was filed by the court on October 6, 2017, one day past the filing deadline. My motion for reconsideration was denied as untimely on December 5, 2017.
            The long lists of criminals acts by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. District Court relative to my two lawsuits against the City of San Jose as stated in my July 24, 2017 complaint letter makes it clear that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ failure to file my motion for reconsideration within the filing deadline was intentional. The intent was to obstruct justice by terminating my appeal with the manufactured claim that my motion for
                                                                                                                                                Page 2

reconsideration was untimely. I appeal to you again to open an investigation into my public corruption complaint based on this letter, my July 24, 2017 complaint letter and my letter to you dated October 24, 2017. I am enclosing a copy of a letter and other documents I sent to Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Chief Judge Sidney R. Thomas informing him of this matter and requesting that he open an investigation into this matter as well.

                                                                                                            Sincerely,

I Hate To Say I Told You So - But I Told You So

Post 34

I bet you are wondering what I'm talking about. Well it's that Inspector General's report that came out on 6-14-18 detailing the misconduct of the FBI and DOJ during the Clinton email investigation. The IG's report backs up the claims I made in my post on 12-6-17 that there is corruption and dysfunction in the FBI and DOJ. The IG concluded that there was bias on the part of a few FBI agents during the Clinton email investigation and that James Comey, the FBI director at that time, was "insubordinate" because he did not follow proper procedures. He made the decision that there was not a prosecutable case against Mrs. Clinton. The decision to prosecute or not to prosecute is the responsibility of the Attorney General's Office. The most significant findings of the IG were that Mr. Comey's decision was not motivated by political bias; and that bias on the part of the FBI agents identified did not influence the outcome of the investigation. I don't agree with that finding at all. The IG also found that several FBI officials had received gifts from reporters presumably as payment for leaking information to the press. That is disturbing and disgusting.

The release of the IG's report was followed up by testimony from the Inspector General himself, Michael Horowitz, and FBI Director Christopher Wray in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on 6-18-18 and again in a combined House Judiciary Committee and House Oversight Committee hearing on 6-19-18. A great deal of both hearings was spent discussing several text messages by FBI agents Lisa Page and Peter Strzok that expressed bias and hatred for then candidate Donald Trump. It is clear Strzok and Page did not want Trump to be elected president. It is implied from their text messages that there were illicit plans implemented in order to ensure that Trump was not elected. The hearing also revealed that other officials in the FBI and DOJ expressed bias against Trump and rooted against him. The FBI director and IG were put in the difficult position of trying to minimize the harm that has been done to the FBI and DOJ by this scandal. FBI Director Wray defended the FBI as a whole saying that most agents do their job independently and objectively. The IG emphasized what he said in his report that bias did not influence the decision by the FBI that Clinton should not be prosecuted; and bias against Trump was not the basis for opening the investigation into possible collusion between Trump and the Russian government.

The Clinton email investigation is by no means the only case in which the FBI has shown politically motivated bias in favor of a prominent government official. As I noted in my post on 12-6-17, I filed several public corruption complaints with the FBI alleging that several San Jose city officials, including Mayor Sam Liccardo, had colluded with the US District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to obstruct justice during the litigation of two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose for racial and disability discrimination. The FBI and DOJ are involved in a major cover-up of that scandal, even though, San Jose city officials and court officials committed several felonies relating to public corruption. FBI Director Christopher Wray's claim during the hearings that FBI agents do their jobs independently and objectively and that they take obstruction of justice seriously is simply not true. The lackluster manner in which the FBI investigated Clinton and its failure to conduct an investigation into my complaints compared to the aggressive manner in which possible Trump-Russia collusion is being investigated demonstrates politics drive the manner in which investigations by the FBI and DOJ are initiated and handled.

While corruption in the FBI and DOJ has gotten a lot of attention from Congress and conservative media, corruption in our federal courts has gotten no attention at all. It's hard not to see that the attention given to corruption in the FBI and DOJ is motivated more by politics than the desire to protect our institutions of government. If you watched the hearings, it should have been easy to see that Republicans were critical of the conduct of the FBI and DOJ because it benefited the President, whereas, Democrats were supportive of the FBI and DOJ because it benefited Hillary Clinton. As reprehensible as the conduct of FBI and DOJ officials have been, the conduct of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the US District Court during two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose for racial and disability discrimination has been far worse. So far, no condemnation from either political party. Details of the abhorrent conduct by the courts is detailed in my prior posts and on my group facebook page at:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/624131267713226/
The scandal with the FBI and DOJ is proof of what I have been saying all along in this blog. And that is the greatest threat to our institutions of government is not the Russians. The greatest threat to our institutions of government is public corruption. I hate to say it. But I told you so.

San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo and the San Jose City Council - Most Corrupt City Officials In America?

Post 33

It is widely known that San Jose, CA, the tenth largest city in the US, is referred to as the capitol of the Silicon Valley. As the center of technological innovation, San Jose has benefited from the immense wealth that has been generated by the tech giants of the Silicon Valley. San Jose has, perhaps, the most millionaires per capita than any other city in the nation, and has some of the highest home values in the nation. San Jose is located in Santa Clara County. The city and county are well known for their progressive (liberal) politics in addition to being home to the high tech industry. For years, San Jose was considered to be a national leader when it came to ethics in government. The City has strongly worded anti-discrimination policies and a Code of Ethics that apply to all city officials and employees elected or appointed. However, based on the corrupt leadership of the last mayor (Chuck Reed) and the current mayor (Sam Liccardo) I believe that San Jose now has the most corrupt city leaders in the entire nation, and certainly in the history of California. It is hard to dispute that there is a culture of corruption in San Jose City Hall despite the City's anti-discrimination policies and Code of Ethics. Move over Bell California! You you are no longer number 1 when it comes to disgusting and disgraceful conduct. The City of San Jose has surpassed you. I think many of you remember Bell California. The city officials of Bell enriched themselves by stealing thousands, if not millions, of dollars from the low income hard working residents of Bell. Many of the city officials were convicted of public corruption crimes and went to prison.

There are many scandals involving City officials within the last several years to support my claim that there is a culture of corruption inside San Jose City Hall. Who can forget the lies of former mayor Chuck Reed during the pension-gate scandal or the campaign finance laws that current mayor Sam Liccardo violated. Let's not forget the corrupt manner in which City Attorney Rick Doyle has run his office, costing taxpayers millions of dollars. The scandals I just mentioned are off the top of my head. However, there are many more.

Now I realize that it might be hard to believe that San Jose City Hall has some of the most corrupt city officials in the nation because of the phony show that Mayor Liccardo and the City Council put on for the local fake news media. Saying that the City of San Jose is worst than Bell California might appear to be a huge exaggeration. But I say that because of the sneaky underhanded way in which the City rewards many of its employees with lucrative promotions for their roles in covering up bigotry and fraudulent misconduct by city leaders. San Jose City Hall is indeed a cesspool of corruption. Mayor Liccardo is one of the biggest frauds and hypocrites I know. He calls himself the anti-Trump mayor and he is quick to point out that City Hall has a very diverse group of people. He has said that "diversity is our secret sauce." Because of the strong stand he has taken in protecting the interests of undocumented immigrants, he is quite popular with the immigrant community and the local media. But people should not be fooled by Mayor Liccardo and the other councilmembers. Everything they say and do is designed to benefit them politically. They have no integrity or honor when it comes to conducting the City's business. I'm speaking from firsthand experience. There is a dark cloud hanging over San Jose City Hall because of corruption and the bigoted manner in which City officials treated me after I retired from the police department on a medical disability.

It is bad enough that San Jose city officials discriminated against me based on my race and disability. I'm black/African American. But these same officials refused to respond to and conduct an investigation into my discrimination complaints, even though it is mandatory based on city policy, state and federal laws. After I filed two discrimination lawsuits against the City, the City Attorney's Office conspired with the US District Court in San Jose and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to cover up the racist conduct of San Jose city officials by committing several criminal acts during litigation that include bribing a police official in order for him to commit perjury in a deposition and a declaration he filed in court in support of a completely fabricated motion for summary judgment filed by the City. City officials, with the blessings of the courts, paid off my attorney to stipulate to the dismissal of that same police official that committed perjury. This was only the beginning of the crimes committed by San Jose city officials and the courts.These officials also conspired to obstruct justice by falsifying court dockets and creating false documents, staging a phony hearing on a motion I filed then fabricating a transcript for that hearing, and committing fraud relative to an appeal I filed. What makes the cover-up of this racist conduct so disgusting is that the City has solicited racial discrimination complaints against rank and file police officers in utility bills and through an outreach program funded by a million dollar donation from the San Francisco 49ers in response to the Colin Kaepernick spectacle while totally ignoring my discrimination complaints against high ranking City officials.

This is one of the biggest scandals in recent history. It is bigger than Trump-Russia collusion and the Clinton email scandal. It is certainly one of the most egregious abuses of power by government officials at any level. The purpose of the criminal misconduct by these officials is to not only cover up racism and bigotry by the City of San Jose, but to cover up the disturbing fact that the US District Court in San Jose and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has an elaborate and extensive case-fixing scheme that has totally undermined our judicial system. From appearance alone, it appears that many of our court officials, including judges, are being paid off for their roles in fixing cases. This scandal has caused more damage to our constitutional republic than Watergate. But it is also flat out cheating. Complicit in the cover up of this scandal is the FBI, the DOJ and several prominent members of Congress because of their failure to open an investigation into the crimes that have been committed based on my public corruption complaints. It is sufficiently clear that Congress has no courage to provide the oversight of the judiciary that is mandated by the Constitution; and the FBI and DOJ have leadership issues based on their refusal to conduct investigations into blatant criminal misconduct by San Jose city officials and officials with the US District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The facts and evidence of misconduct by San Jose city officials and the federal courts can be found in many of my prior posts and on my group facebook page at:

Words Now Speak Louder Than Actions - The Sad Reality About Race In America

Post 32

I think we all have heard the old cliche that "actions speak louder than words. Clearly that no longer is the case. In this crazy world we live in today words now speak louder than actions. I make this claim based on the numerous occasions that a dumb stupid comment by a prominent person has caused an uproar. The latest example of this is the comment by actress and comedian Roseanne Barr. Roseanne tweeted a comment a few days ago about former President Barack Obama's senior adviser Valerie Jarrett. The tweet that Roseanne says was a joke goes like this: "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj." As expected, you got social media all up in arms claiming to be so offended by by Roseanne's tweet, which they have turned into this big "racist" incident. Even though Roseanne immediately apologized, ABC cancelled her top rated show and made an obligatory statement condemning her clearly inappropriate tweet. ABC had no choice but to cancel Roseanne's show because of political correctness and to avoid protests from the usual race hustlers. But I'm totally sick and tired of the phony outrage I see by so many celebrities, media types and politicians every time some public figure says something dumb about a black person. I understand that words can be hurtful, but this response to Roseanne's tweet is over the top, just as the response to President Trump's alleged s---hole comment, just as the response to former Los Angeles Clippers' owner Donald Sterling comment about black men, as well as, the numerous other racially insensitive comments by politicians and celebrities that have been exploited by the media.

This over the top response by the media, politicians and celebrities to Roseanne Barr's stupid tweet is all about politics. These folks don't care about racism and eliminating racial discrimination in this country. They are demonizing Roseanne because of her vocal support for President Trump. This is what happens to people that come out in support of the President. Look at what happened to Kanye West and other public figures that support President Trump. Don't get me wrong. Roseanne's tweet should have consequences. However, I feel confident that had Roseanne been a Trump hater, the consequences of her tweet would not be as severe. The proof is Bill Maher's claim that he is a " house N-word." Since Maher is a Trump hater, the response to his stupid comment was nothing near the response to Roseanne's tweet. Double standard aside, the point I'm trying to make here is that we as a nation seem to be moved more by words than actions. For the past several years, I have been trying to expose flagrantly bigoted and racist treatment I suffered at the hands of several San Jose city officials, including current mayor Sam Liccardo and the rest of the San Jose City Council. I am black/African American. The clear intent of these officials was to humiliate me and to make me feel powerless in the same way blacks were humiliated in the South during Jim Crow. Not only that, they violated several of my constitutional rights knowingly and are now engaged in a criminal conspiracy with the federal courts to cover up their bigoted and racist acts. The facts and evidence are presented in this blog and my group facebook page at:


Even though the racist and bigoted treatment I experienced at the hands of San Jose city officials and the federal courts is truly appalling and repulsive, there has been no outrage or a call for an investigation from the many politicians and media outlets I have contacted. We have all this phony outrage over a dumb tasteless joke by a mentally deranged actress/comedian , even though she committed no crime or violated anyone's constitutional rights. Yet there is complete silence in response to the clearly bigoted and racist acts of San Jose city officials and the courts that clearly violate my constitutional rights. This is like being outraged over hearing someone call a black man the N-word while not being outraged at seeing a black man being lynched by the KKK. The sad reality is that words now speak louder than actions when it comes to race in America.

An Unforced Error By President Trump

Post 31

The national anthem protests are back in the spotlight because of President Trump's response to the NFL's new policy that teams could be fined if players were on the field and did not stand and show respect during the national anthem. I have long been critical of President Trump's response to the kneeling by players during the playing of the national anthem. I have also defended the President in the midst of the criticism he received based on his response to the violence in Charlottesville. See my post on September 18, 2017. In that post, I explained that the President was right to condemn the violence by both the white supremacists and the counter- protesters because of his obligation to maintain order in our society being that he is the Commander-in-Chief. My criticism of the President in the past for his stance on the national anthem protests has been that this matter does not concern national security or maintaining order in our communities. I stated that this issue is about freedom of speech and expression of NFL players and that this was a matter best resolved by the powers that be in the NFL and capitalism. I suggested that the President should stay out of it. Certainly, the NFL's new policy seems to be a balancing act between protecting the players rights to free speech and expression and the league's concern that its would lose some of its fans and therefore lose money. 

In comments made on Fox News that aired on Wednesday afternoon May 23, 2018, President Trump stated his approval for the new NFL rule and said that players who don't stand for the national anthem perhaps should not be in this country. This is one of the most unfortunate statements that the President has made in a long list of unfortunate statements. This statement not only shows a lack of regard for the NFL players right to freedom of speech and expression; but it also shows a lack of regard for one the most fundamental rights we have as a citizen. That is the right to protest against what we believe is injustice on the part of government. The right to protest against tyranny and oppression by agents of the government is what separates our nation from totalitarian states. While I understand that the President's love for this country runs deep and he is very patriotic, he would be wise to understand that some citizens of this country have not always been treated with dignity and respect and that they might, rightly or wrongly, have a much different view of the flag and national anthem as others. The President should understand that you can't force NFL players or other citizens to be patriotic. His position that players who don't stand for the national anthem perhaps shouldn't be in this country seems to give a little credence to his critics belief that the President is trying to be a dictator. This statement is clearly an unforced error. Rather than focusing on NFL players that don't kneel during the national anthem, the President should be focusing on corrupt officials in the FBI, DOJ and the federal courts that are destroying our constitutional republic because of their flagrant disregard for the rule of law. He can start by calling for an investigation into the criminal misconduct by the US District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that I have addressed in this blog. Drain the swamp!

Many Of Our Elected Officials Care More for Non-Americans Than They Do Americans

Post 30

I am sick and tired of elected officials in this country that care more for citizens of other countries than they do for American citizens. Just recently, Senator John McCain got all hot and bothered because President Trump called President Putin and congratulated him on winning re-election. Senator McCain called Mr. Putin a dictator and stated that the Russian presidential election was a "sham." Senator McCain was quick to stand up for Russian citizens saying that president Trump had insulted them by his congratulatory call to President Putin because Russian citizens had been denied the right to vote in a free and fair election. While Senator McCain has been quick to call the Russian presidential election a sham and that the Russian people were shortchanged as a result, he will not stick up for me or other American citizens that have been the victim of sham proceedings by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and several district courts within the circuit. Many of the appellate and district court judges within the Ninth Circuit make rulings that are inconsistent with the Constitution, federal statutes and binding precedent. As deplorable as that may be, even more deplorable is that several cases are decided by court officials such as staff attorneys and court clerks based on fake rulings where docket entries are falsified, phony hearings are held and false documents are created in order to facilitate their bogus rulings. It is true folks. Federal court officials are accountable to no one since Congress lacks the courage to exercise any oversight over them as is mandated by the Constitution. These federal court officials are the real dictators and enemies of our constitutional democracy.

This is by no means the only time Senator McCain has stuck up for non-Americans. He has been a vocal critic of President Trump's immigration policies that call for stricter enforcement of immigration laws and a temporary travel ban on persons coming from nations associated with terrorism. I do not doubt that Senator McCain's intentions are noble. But it is insulting that Senator McCain has shown so much concern for citizens of other countries while refusing to respond to my letter requesting an investigation into several sham proceedings in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. District Court relative to two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose.

Senator McCain is not the only politician at the national level that has stood up for non-Americans while totally ignoring Americans that have been deprived of their rights by government officials. Senator Dianne Feinstein, Senator Kamala Harris and Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren from California, my home state, are big supporters of rights for undocumented immigrants. All three support the policies of the the State of California and several cities within the state that provide sanctuary for undocumented immigrants. All three opposed the President's temporary travel ban. Senator Harris went so far as to say she would do everything in her power to see that DACA recipients received legal status. While these officials are willing to go to great lenghts to grant rights and privileges to undocumented immigrants and refugees that are not American citizens, they have done absolutely nothing in response to my basic rights being violated by officials with the City of San Jose, the US District Court and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. San Jose city officials and officials with the federal courts just noted committed several crimes related to public corruption. A simple referral to the House Judiciary Committee, the FBI and DOJ would have been appropriate. But Senator McCain, Senator Feinstein, Senator Harris and Congresswoman Lofgren refused to take any action whatsoever because the rights of Americans are less important to them than the rights of non-Americans. All of this support for non-Americans and criticism of President Trump is all about politics. It is so sad that these politicians care more about bashing the President than they do about protecting the constitutional rights of Americans.
