The Feds won’t reimburse me for my time in filing the FOIA case to get the tapes of Nan Whaley [1] that were made in the “Culture of Corruption” investigation and played to the Grand Jury.
The FBI and DOJ are trying to use the “Glomar” Defense- “We cannot confirm or deny that these tapes exist” and that these tapes are somehow top secret.They are wrong. The tapes exist (Dayton is too small). And if I spent tens of thousands on a lawyer to file this- the lawyer would be reimbursed for their legal fees.
RBG ruled in 1987 that Grand Jury proceedings can’t be used to hide the criminal acts of politicians. 3 Federal judges recused themselves from this case, the 4th tried to ignore the law and use an administrative ruse to dismiss.
I now have to pay an additional $505 out of my pocket to get the appeal heard in the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals.
I’ve already paid a $406 filing fee. Add them up and you get $911 – is that number significant? 9/11? hmmmm….
How serious is this? The fact that the FBI and DOJ had caught Joey D. Williams accepting a bribe, turned him into a Confidential Informant, 3 years before they allowed him to stand for re-election (with a secret agreement to resign if he was re-elected, which he did) says that they are as screwed up as the 2 movies about the dangers of a candidate under the control of a government (The Manchurian Candidate- both times). Was Whaley on the same deal in her gubernatorial run? How screwed up would that be?
If you want to see justice – and the law followed, please consider donating to this cause. I promise, I will pay back the donations after I win– WE WIN, if I win, if WE WIN.
I’ve written extensively about this case on the blog.
We deserve the truth. Joey D. Williams couldn’t have done this by himself.
