Dear Friends,
Since my legal difficulties began over four years ago (now going on
five), I have seen and read many articles about the atrocities
occurring within the prison systems and the hope by some that the
FBI would like the Lone Ranger would come riding to the rescue.
Only recently I have happened upon a book that upon reviewing should
send those looking for a fab FBI hostage team to come to your aid -
well - "forgitaboutit." Thanks to the Internet, more information is
available to all of us - not just the privileged elite. A book well
worth reading, which was found surfing the Internet, is entitled
Cloak and Gavel: FBI Wiretaps, Bugs, Informers and the Supreme Court
by Alexander Charns. The author, an attorney located in Durham,
N.C., filed a freedom of information act lawsuit in order to obtain
some documents. Revelations from the documents obtained from the
lawsuit point to a scheme by the FBI, which amounts to a nothing
more than shakedowns in efforts to obtain favorable rulings for law
enforcement in the courts. From the papers received by Charns, the
time frame for this attempted extortion stretches from 1935 to 1989
and leads one to believe that the process is ongoing. These actions
ranged from seemingly innocuous "throwing out the red carpet
treatment" for newly appointed judges and their law clerks, taking
and providing 8 x 10 glossies at taxpayer expense of their visit to
FBI offices to a rather Stalinsque effort to leak "confidential
information" that the agency collected while doing background
checks. This information, if released, could cause judges and other
court personnel embarrassment. "Play ball with us or else."
Additional strategies considered and implemented called for
identifying "court informants" to provide a heads up on any
lawsuits, which would challenge law enforcement efforts or
adversarial to the FBI. These court informants would provide
"confidential information" of the discussions behind the "closed"
chambers doors and furnish the opportunity for the FBI to gain
leverage and prevent any ambushes that would dilute their and other
law enforcement powers. The knowledge was then passed along to the
appropriate persons within the Attorney General's office. An
informal arrangement was established in which FBI agents and U.S.
attorneys were and are now more welcome in the chambers of justices
and judges than "defense lawyers or citizens." Can you spell ex
parte? The plan also called for the FBI to "educate" na�ve federal
judges about law enforcement. It was the agency's hope that "they
could be a tremendous force for keeping some of these stupid
appellate opinions from coming out." Would this effect a decision to
"publish" or "unpublish" an opinion? Of course all of this smacks
of currying favor by the FBI and "most other federal agencies, and
some state agencies [which] are doing the same thing." So if you are
looking for the FBI to investigate misconduct within the prisons by
prison personnel of any government misconduct for that matter, I
guess that old Southern colloquialism applies here. "You can't have
the fox guarding the chicken coop."
