Serious Allegations Require a Serious Investigation


Received via email:
I contacted you via e-mail, several years ago, while my dad was appealing his case... My dad's appeal was not successful, but I am determined to expose the crimes that ATF Agent [name redacted] has carried out, which has resulted in my dad having a life sentence in prison. Our lawyer has authorized me to share this information with you, and asks that you assist us, as we work to prove my dad's innocence. 
I recall that correspondence. It involved the conviction and life sentence of an Arkansas doctor on bombing and weapons charges.

At the time, I advised my correspondent that it would be irresponsible and potentially damaging to his father's defense to post information without the attorney's cognizance. This email relieves me of that burden and I have posted the attachment alleging ATF misconduct at Scribd.

Very serious allegations include:

  • The fabrication and planting of evidence by the Government/ATF Agent(s) and their confederates, where a box of 40mm HE grenades was planted near my house and used by the government to obtain a search warrant of my house, office, and property, to incarcerate me prior to trial, deny my bond, obtain my conviction and that of my spouse on obstruction of justice charges, all consistent with “fraud on the court”.
  • Cover up by the District Court and Eight Circuit Court of Appeals in an attempt to keep the “fraud on the courts” from being litigated and hence exposed, even going as far as calling the overtly fabricated evidence as being “overwhelming evidence of my guilt”. While at the same time denying me any form of hearing, which prevented me from exposing the Government’s egregious conduct.
  • Prosecutorial misconduct by the United States Attorneys and Assistant United States Attorneys, Eastern District of Arkansas who along with their confederates in law enforcement, suborned perjured testimony from numerous individuals, knowingly using it in the legal proceedings, having the executive office for the United StatesAttorneys withhold data and documents that I have sought since May 13, 2013, that were withheld by the government in violation of the Brady and Giglio.

It must be emphasized that these are allegations. That's why the evidence the document claims needs to be weighed against trial documents.

That's a much bigger job than I'm prepared to take on, with no resources and no time to take on the task of unraveling all the details and claims from both sides.  It would be full time and open-ended and would require putting all of my own priorities on hold to assume someone else's, all unfunded and with an unknown outcome. On top of that, I'm totally unqualified to weigh in on the physical evidence presented with an informed opinion.

What's needed is a real investigation, and I doubt House Oversight under a Democrat majority would be so inclined. And that's a shame because this could end up being a headline-worthy case of grave injustice that demands exposure and correction. I don't know, and that's kind of the point.

Candidly, I'm at a loss as to what more can or should be done.  I will leave the Scribd document posted so that, perhaps, someone who can advance it will pick up the ball from here. If you are such a person, send me a note via the sidebar Contact Form and I'll put you in touch with my contact, the son.

In the meantime, I'll pass this on to some attorneys I know and see if it intrigues them to find out more.

Believe It or Not

I didn't like the word "permitted," but wanted to get on the board.

Some questions I did not answer. For instance, "Which of the following do you think would be most effective in ending the epidemic of gun violence in America?" presupposes there is an "epidemic" and that any of the choices they offer are the right ones.

I recommend doing it, seeing if the results can end up being not what they expected, and then seeing if they'll release them. Yeah, I know all the excuses for not, but just assign followup emails to the junk file and block them if you like-- on the other hand, you could treat them like advance intel on what the enemy is up to.

Truer Words

"Second Amendment is just in case the first one doesn't work out." [More]
Say what you will about this man, I  always liked watching Chappelle’s Show and what he's doing now by standing up to the silencers is brave and makes him a leader.

The shame is, a famous white man couldn't say the same things without the Marxists -- who have latched onto race mongering as an effective way to shut voices out -- destroying him.

Clothes Make the Man

POLL: Majority of students want peers who wear highly offensive Halloween costumes to be punished [More]
And the majority of those think a MAGA hat is highly offensive.

I still can't decide what to wear, although I note my kid sister once did Octomom (with eight baby dolls) and her husband dressed like a doctor with a turkey baster...

I dunno -- I just thought it was funny.

How Republicans Can Win Back the Suburbs?

Evidently by betraying a base that had its bellies filled with fire and swept Trump to victory over Hillary against all odds... [More]

Be more like Mark Kirk, he says.

"[M]ake it more difficult for people to legally purchase guns," he says.

A truism I heard years ago:
There is no creature more useless than a centrist Republican.

Please Observe Me if You Will, I'm Professor Harold Hill

"The best way to reduce gun violence is to put criminals with firearms behind bars," Trump said to applause from the audience. "And just so you understand, we will always protect our Second Amendment." [More]
So putting "criminals" like this "behind bars" will "protect our Second Amendment"?

Via "Project Safe Neighborhoods"? Oh Boy! Federal dollars! No wonder the International Association of Chiefs of Police is so gung-ho.

You know, the same program used to eviscerate the Second Amendment and destroy the lives of the non-violent...

But it's not "gun control." Honest.

I hate to say we told you so.

And about that record of success...

So what am I suggesting?  How about if a person, through their own violent criminal actions and after receiving full due process, is proven to be dangerous -- that they are kept away from the rest of us until they no longer are?

That and another term he uses several times, “moral courage,” ought to resonate with every gun owner who defends the right to keep and bear arms. [More]
