An important event happened today in Washington D.C. regarding
the Vincent Foster case. There will be a news blackout of this
event by the American press. Please share this information by
forwarding this email message to others and posting it to
internet message boards.
The importance of this court filing is summarized below in the
words of John Clarke, attorney for Patrick Knowlton:
July 27, 2000. Today, Patrick Knowlton and his lawyer, John
Clarke, filed a Petition for Rehearing En Banc in the United States
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit -- asking the
full court to review Knowlton's 1996 civil rights suit. The motion
was accompanied by four exhibits
(1) the 20-page Court-ordered attachment to Ken Starr's Report
<http://fbicover-up.com/starr/addendum.htm> on Mr. Foster's
death,
(2) Knowlton's 80-page Amended Complaint,
(3) the 511-page brief proving cover-up unsealed by the Court of
Appeals last September http://fbicover-up.com/ordernow.htm, and
(4) the 630-pages of exhibits accompanying that 511-page brief.
All of the judges on the appellate Court received the petition
and all exhibits -- over 25,000 pages were filed today. If this
Court fails, Clarke will petition the U.S. Supreme Court to hear
the case.
Excerpts from the Petition:
CONCISE STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE AND ITS EXCEPTIONAL IMPORTANCE
Knowlton sues witness-tampering participants, as
principals, and conspirators to the overarching cover-up of the
facts of Mr. Foster's death, vicariously. His allegations,
pre-discovery, prove alarming failures of our government:
Executive branch. The Ethics in Government Act, designed to
ensure confidence in the integrity of our government by providing
investigations independent of those being investigated, was
thwarted by the OIC's use of the FBI - a federal investigative
agency that it had twice previously closed the case as a simple
suicide - presenting the conflict of interest that the Act is
designed to avoid.
Legislative branch. The 1994 Senate Banking Committee was the
only Committee that claimed to have looked into the death, but
its limited investigative jurisdiction precluded it from
investigating the facts of the death. And Congress failed to
reenact the Independent Counsel law, relegating the task of
ensuring that justice has been done to regulatory independent
counsels.
Press The press has acted mostly as a conduit for the official
announcements and conclusions of the executive branch, like a
public relations department.
Grand jury abuse. Transplanted from England, and frequently
referred to as the people's panel, the grand jury was valued as a
kind of people's watchdog, and as a means of protesting abuses by
the crown's emissaries. The Founders saw the grand jury as a
bulwark for the individual against arbitrary or malevolent
prosecutors. Today the grand jury is more of a prosecutor's
panel, but this pre-constitutional institution is still a vehicle
for effective citizen participation in government, and is still a
people's panel, not captive or relegated by the Constitution to a
position within any branches. In the instant case, the conduct
alleged thwarted the grand jury's great power.
Knowlton seeks redress under a law designed to protect
the sanctity of the federal Court process, and his cause involves
fundamental rights and questions vital to the nation's public
policy. See Hobson v. Wilson, 737 F.2d 1, 31 (D.C., 1984),
citing 5C Wright & A. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure 1230
(1969 & 1984 Supp.) :
"The court should remember that fundamental rights and important
questions of public policy are involved in actions under the
various civil rights statutes and should not dismiss the
complaint unless it clearly is frivolous or fails to state a
claim for relief."
CONCLUSION
This cause presents the judiciary with an issue
of extraordinary importance to the public - a chance for the
corruption in this matter to be exposed and a tool for America to
judge whether our Constitution's separation of powers function as
an "auxiliary precaution" against corruption, as James Madison
put it - or whether our Founders' experiment is in danger of
failing. Plaintiff's cause proves alarming failures of effective
government oversight. Honest government is at stake.
