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:

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.

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.

Oversight Is Good Even If Politically Motivated
Post 28/29
The responses from many of the Republicans and Democrats in regards to that memo by the Republicans alleging FISA abuses by the FBI for their use of that stupid "Steele Dossier" were over the top. Some of the Republicans were saying that this scandal is worse than Watergate. Others likened the actions of the FBI to the KGB. The Democrats, on the other hand, initially complained that the memo was a threat to our national security and that it was damaging to the morale of the rank and file of the FBI that work so hard to keep us safe. Former VP Joe Biden chimed in on this scandal by blaming Trump for the memo. Mr. Biden had some harsh words for the President, calling him a "joke," stated that his attacks on the FBI are a disaster, and that they are a "full throated and unvarnished attack on the FBI." The former VP is by no means the only high profile current or former government official coming to the defense of the FBI. However, the responses by both sides were hyperbole in overdrive and politically motivated.
My response to the Republicans and Democrats' responses is my default position when it comes to politicians. They are nothing more than hypocrites, and they care nothing about you and me. Really folks! This is just a game of politics to them. No matters what happens, they will all be fine. When it comes to government misconduct, it is the common folks like you and me that always get hurt and ignored. Many of the same Republicans claiming to be so concerned about corruption in the FBI and DOJ have totally ignored my public corruption complaints against San Jose city officials and the federal courts. Many of the same Democrats that are so quick to defend the integrity of the FBI and DOJ are well aware of the FBI and DOJ's refusal to open an investigation into my public corruption complaints against the federal courts and San Jose city officials. See my most recent posts that expose these phonies.
Even though I believe the Republicans are motivated by politics, I have to side with them on this one because potential abuse of the FISA process is a legitimate concern of many Americans. I also believe that corruption at the top levels of the FBI and DOJ is also a possibility and an investigation or oversight of these institutions is needed. See my post on December 6, 2017 that supports my belief. However, the Republicans call for oversight of the FBI and DOJ in regards to potential FISA abuses do not go far enough. The oversight of the DOJ and FBI should also extend to the FISA court itself. No institution of the government should be exempt from oversight when it possess such immense power to spy on us and deprive us of our constitutional right to privacy. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely (Lord Acton). It's all about ACCOUNTABILITY! Something that is sorely lacking in government today. A prime example of this lack of accountability is the criminal misconduct mentioned above by San Jose city officials, officials with the US District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals relative to the litigation of two lawsuits I filed against the City that is the subject of this blog. Accountability through oversight is a hallmark of our constitutional democracy. No one should dare question that fact. When you accept a job with the FBI, the DOJ and the federal courts, not only do you take an oath to protect and uphold the Constitution, you implicitly agree to have your conduct scrutinized by oversight in accordance with the checks and balances provision of the separation of powers doctrine. No democracy will thrive without some form of oversight of its institutions of government, particularly those officials that are unelected without direct accountability to the people they serve. This is in stark contrast with elected officials who are held accountable through the electoral process.
It was quite shocking and disappointing to see the Democrats and certain cable news channels oppose the release of the Republican memo. This apparent opposition to transparency, while shocking, is not what it seem. This is all about hatred for Donald Trump and a double standard. Any information that makes Trump look bad, they are for its release. Any information that might benefit Trump they oppose its release. We should look beyond the agendas of politicians and the media and recognize the importance of government oversight when it is reasonably warranted. In the instant case, it is clear that oversight is needed. It is a totalitarian state that function without government oversight, not a democracy like our own.

The Hypocrisy of Politicians Regarding Trump's Alleged Vulgar Comments on Immigration
Post 25/25
While politicians are condemning alleged "s---hole countries" comments by President Trump as being racist, many of the same politicians refuse to condemn or call for an investigation into public corruption crimes committed by San Jose city officials and federal court officials in order to cover up their racist misconduct
As predictable, many self righteous politicians and media entities, all Trump haters, have been quick to condemn the President based on the unverified accusations that he referred to several African nations as s---hole countries. Some of the harshest criticisms of Trump came from California senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris, as well as, California Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren. Senator Feinstein said that Trump wanted a "white society," implied that he was a poor leader, and that racism existed in the Oval Office. Senator Harris said that the President was irresponsible. She shamelessly invoked the memories of Dr. Martin Luther King in her politically correct attempt to embarrass Trump. Rep Lofgren said in several tweets that Trump was divisive, and that his guiding principle was hate. Lofgren also tweeted that she was embarassed and outraged by the President's comments which were bigoted and ignorant. She stated that all Americans need to speak out to condemn Trump's statement. Senator Harris, Senator Feinstein and Rep Lofgren quick response to racist comments that the President may or may not have made is quite hypocritical being that all three have refused to respond to my request for an investigation into several public corruption crimes committed by Mayor Liccardo, the San Jose City Council, the US District Court and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals during litigation of two racial and disability discrimination lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose. The criminal acts committed by these officials include, bribery, fraud, perjury and obstruction of justice. They were committed with the intent to cover up flagrantly bigoted treatment I received at the hands of San Jose city officials after I retired from the City's police force in 2004. The treatment was akin to how black voting rights activists were treated by segregationist Bull Connor in the sixties. I'm black/ African American.
I am deeply troubled by the hypocrisy of Feinstein, Harris and Lofgren, as well as, other politicians whose phony outrage is based on politics and hatred for Donald Trump. Even though Feinstein, Harris and Lofgren are Democrats from my home state of California, my criticism is not limited to Democrats. Republicans John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Speaker Paul Ryan who were also quick to condemn the President's alleged vulgar comments also failed to respond to my requests for an investigation into the bigoted and criminal misconduct of San Jose city officials and the courts that totally undermines our democracy and our judicial system. These elected officials have betrayed our democracy, to borrow words from Senator Graham, based on their hypocrisy and outright cowardice. The disparity here is sickening. The President is called a racist by politicians because of comments he may or may not have made. Yet, the same politicians refuse to condemn or call for an investigation in to my allegations of racist and serious criminal misconduct by San Jose city officials and the federal courts that is supported by indisputable evidence. Rep Lofgren's call for all Americans to speak out to condemn the alleged comments by Trump while she and other politicians have been totally silent on the racist misconduct of San Jose city officials and the federal courts is ultimate hypocrisy. Please review the following link and letters for more details:

Re:
Public Corruption Complaint
Dear
Congresswoman Lofgren,
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. You might remember that
in June 2011 and March 2012 I brought to your attention a similar complaint I
made with the FBI and Judiciary Committee. Apparently no investigation or
inquiry was made into my complaint in spite of the facts and evidence I
presented supporting my claims.
Being that you are a member of the
Judiciary Committee and the City of San Jose is in your district, I
respectfully request that you bring this matter before the Committee for
review. Please be aware that I have made several attempts to resolve this
matter with the courts without any success. Even though the criminal misconduct
by San Jose city officials and the courts is disturbing and warrants an
investigation, the evidence is incontrovertible that the judgments by the
courts as they relate to issue preclusion and the stipulation of dismissal of a
defendant are clearly void and unenforceable by law. Yet, the courts have
stubbornly refused to reverse their orders, and are now engaged in a cover-up.
I find the courts’ position intolerable and there is absolutely no way I will
comply with their orders which are a clear abuse of their discretion and authority.
The independence with which courts are allowed to operate under the separation
of powers provision of the Constitution does not permit them to operate above
the law.
So far Congress and the Executive
Branch have been negligent in their failure to take action against the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals and other federal courts based on their contempt for justice
and the rule of law. I have done my part as a good citizen by giving the
process a chance to work, only to be treated with a total lack of respect and
dignity by San Jose city officials and the courts. All that I am asking is that
the courts respect my rights and follow the rules. I look forward to hearing
from you regarding this matter.
Sincerely
yours,
Frederick
Bates

Re:
Public Corruption Complaint
Dear
Senator Feinstein,
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. Please take note
that I informed you of a similar complaint I made with the FBI and Judiciary
Committee in a letter in June 2011. Apparently no investigation or inquiry was
made into my complaint in spite of the facts and evidence I presented
supporting my claims.
In response to my June 2011 letter,
I believe that your office stated that it would be inappropriate for an elected
official to get involved with litigation in the courts because of the importance
of an independent judiciary that’s necessary to the proper functioning of
government. While this is normally the case, it does not apply to cases where
it is sufficiently clear that a court is engaged in serious criminal misconduct
that undermines our institutions of government as I am alleging in my
complaints. The checks and balances provision of the separation of powers
doctrine exit to ensure that one branch of government show proper respect for
the other branches of government. It is undeniable from facts presented in my
complaint that the courts violated 28 USC Section 1738 (the Full Faith and
Credit Act) and FRCP 41 which governs a stipulation of dismissal. These two
laws passed by Congress must be strictly adhered to by the courts. There is no
room for discretion. Additionally, officials with the US District Court and the
City of San Jose falsified court records, created fraudulent documents, staged
a fake hearing on a Rule 60 motion I filed, and then created a fraudulent
transcript for that hearing. All of these fraudulent acts were committed with
the specific intent to obstruct justice.
Certainly, the independence with
which courts are allowed to operate does not render Congress or the Executive
Branch impotent to address public corruption in our judicial system that
undermines our democracy. Rather, Congress and the Executive Branch are
obligated to intervene. I respectfully request that you seek an investigation
into this matter.
Sincerely,
Frederick
Bates

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

by creating false documents, by staging a fake hearing on a Rule 60 motion I

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.

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. During litigation of my first lawsuit, the US District Court and
attorneys for the City of San Jose falsified court records, created fraudulent
documents, staged a fake hearing on a Rule 60 motion I filed seeking relief
from an order by the district court granting the City’s summary judgment
motion, then created a fraudulent transcript for that hearing. All of these
fraudulent acts were committed with the specific intent to obstruct justice.
Additionally, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the US District Court
violated 28 USC Section 1738 (the Full Faith and Credit Act) and FRCP 41 which
governs a stipulation of dismissal. These two laws passed by Congress must be
strictly adhered to by the courts with no room for discretion. This egregious
conduct by San Jose city officials and the courts motivated by bigotry and hate
is an attack on our democracy and shows utter contempt for the rule of law.
Even
though I informed California Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris of
this matter since I am a California resident, I decided to bring this matter to
your attention because of your long history of honesty and integrity and a
willingness to protect our institutions of government. This is evident by your strong
stance for sanctions against Russia for interfering in our past presidential
election. You strongly encouraged President Trump to sign the sanctions bill punishing
Russia and stated that his failure to do so would be “betraying democracy.”
Likewise, a failure to hold accountable the San Jose city officials and federal
court officials for their involvement in this criminal conspiracy that
undermines our judicial system would also be “betraying democracy.” The
documents enclosed shows, without a doubt, that my public corruption complaint
has merit. I look forward to hearing from you regarding this matter.

Re:

Dear

Enclosed
are copies of letters and documents I sent to the House 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. Specific criminal acts committed by San Jose city officials and the
court are outlined in the enclosed letters and documents. Even though I
informed California Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris of this matter
since I am a California resident, I decided to bring this matter to your
attention because of your long history of integrity and honor and your willingness
to protect our institutions of government.
In your statement on President
Trump’s pardon of former sheriff Joe Arpaio, you stated that no one is above
the law and the individuals entrusted with the privilege of being sworn law
officers should always seek to be beyond reproach in their commitment to fairly
enforcing the laws they swore to uphold. Likewise, federal judges and court
officials should be held to the same high standard when ruling on cases. It is
clear from the documents enclosed that several judges and court officials with
the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the US District Court in San Jose have
placed themselves above the law based on the public corruption crimes they
committed during the litigation of my lawsuits.
In a recent op-ed, you stated that
this country is comprised of 323 million souls of different origins and
opinions who are equal under the law. As a black/African American, I have not
received this equal treatment from San Jose city officials or the courts. In
that same op-ed, you stated that Congress must be diligent in its responsibility
to serve as a check on the President’s power. It is as equally important for
Congress to serve as a check on the power of judges in our lower federal courts
who are unelected and appointed for life. I understand that an independent
judiciary is necessary for our government to function properly. However, it is
clear from my public corruption complaint that the judges involved in my cases
knowingly and intentionally exceeded their power in the judgments they rendered
that were intentionally biased in favor of the City of San Jose. The
independence of the judiciary should not be a shield that prevents corrupt
judges from being held accountable.
In
addition to Senators Feinstein and Harris, I have also informed several other
members of Congress about my complaint and asked for an investigation. Likewise,
I am also asking that you call for an investigation into my complaint. Because
it is undeniable that the U S District
Page

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. Even more disturbing than the
courts’ criminal conduct is their absolute refusal to reverse their many
decisions in my two cases that violates several laws and precedent and are
clearly void judgments that are unenforceable. Not only is this a serious
breach of the public trust, it is one of the biggest cheating scandals in quite
some time. Additional information regarding this matter can be found at the
following link: http://crnctz.blogspot.com/2015/08/exposing-cover-up-of-cheating-scandal.html
I look forward to hearing from you
regarding my request for an investigation into my complaint.

yours,

opposition to President Trump’s decision to pardon former Arizona sheriff Joe
Arpaio because law enforcement officials have a special responsibility to respect
the rights of everyone in the United States. Certainly this responsibility
applies to Judges and other officials in our federal courts. Please take the
time to review the enclosed documents. I am confident you will find my
complaint has merit. I look forward to hearing from you regarding this very
serious matter.
Sincerely
