Sub: Senate Judiciary Committee investigation into the firing of US attorneys
Ref: My allegations against Schwab beginning August 2002
Previous letters to you and others in the US Government
Dear Senator Leahy,
Your investigation into the US attorney general’s hiring and the firing of attorneys based primarily upon the political agenda of the Bush administration is an historical event. Your frustrated efforts to gain access to White House records are revealing the worst of what can happen in a “democracy” when the checks and balances fail. The elected members of US Government no longer work for the American people, but join the Executive Branch in working for the billionaires and corporations who control the destiny of every would-be politician. This is all made possible by an election system based upon private political funding and lobbying rather than on qualifications, character, and dedication to the welfare of the American people. What neither US political party seems to comprehend is that uncontrolled capitalism and globalization have built-in characteristics that assure their own failure.
So far, your investigation into the firing of attorneys has revealed that the White House has spent two terms using the Department of Justice to promote the Republican Party’s political agenda rather than enforce the laws of our country. Given these revelations and the seriousness of my allegations against stock broker Charles Schwab, I am even more convinced that the Bush administration has been protecting Schwab from investigation by the Department of Justice since I first filed charges against him in August 2002. I believe Bush’s protection scheme includes a conspiracy to denigrate my character and discredit my allegations, which I would like to discuss here.
In August 2002 I reported Schwab’s illegal activities to Agent Paul Mueller of the Portland FBI office. I also filed complaints against Schwab on the FBI and SEC websites. During my initial contact with Agent Mueller, I provided numerous documents that supported my allegations against Schwab. This evidence clearly shows that Schwab and Kim Haines had known each other for years and had a personal and business relationship. However, it was later revealed that Schwab and Haines defended themselves against my allegations by claiming they did not know each other.
Given the wealth of evidence the FBI had to disprove such a claim, it is highly doubtful that Schwab would risk being charged with a felony for lying to the FBI. And it is even more doubtful the FBI would accept such a claim without confronting Schwab with the evidence I provided. This was obviously the beginning of the White House conspiracy to protect Schwab from our system of justice.
In August 2003, I was interrogated by two Eugene FBI agents and told by Agent John Ferreira that Schwab had accused me of trying to kill him. His claim was supposedly based upon an innocuous letter I had written him some six months before in which I had pleaded with him to stop harassing Kim Haines. Given the lack of any basis for such an accusation, plus the evidence and potential charges against him, I find it very difficult to believe that Schwab would expose himself to yet another felony charge by falsely accusing me of attempted murder. Given what the FBI already knew about Schwab’s illegal activities, I find it improbable that they would take his accusations seriously. Indeed, based upon the demeanor of the FBI agents who interrogated me, they did not take Schwab’s accusations seriously.
During my interrogation I was asked if I feared being killed. I’ve yet to decide whether this was a warning of imminent danger or a threat. This Bomb Hoax and Schwab’s accusations were based upon knowledge of my plans to visit California, which could only have been learned from my emails. So the question is: Was it Schwab or the US Government that was hacking my computer? Again, given Schwab’s already existing exposure to felony charges, I find it doubtful he would take such a risk, but given the White House propensity to eavesdrop on American citizens, I will assume they were hacking my computer. I can only imagine the difficulties I might have faced had I not canceled my plans to visit California. Each time I turn on my computer, I assume that the US Government is still intercepting my email and is aware of all my activities.
About one year after I filed charges against Schwab for computer hacking, I discovered that all of the documents in my computer’s “Schwab” folder had been destroyed. However, my remaining folders were not damaged. At the time, I found it quite unbelievable that Schwab had the audacity to continue hacking into my computer and risk being caught by the FBI. Today I realize that it probably wasn’t Schwab doing the hacking, but the US Government.
Given the abundant evidence that supports my allegations against Schwab, plus the scrutiny by the White House and leaders in Congress, I highly doubt he would repeatedly expose himself by engaging in the felonious behavior I have described. However, I do feel he would be a willing participant in a Bush administration conspiracy to protect himself from our system of justice.
On May 5, 2005, I wrote to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales with yet another request that he investigate my allegations against Schwab and bring him to justice. I received a response from George Handley of the DOJ on September 19, 2005, in which he informed me that my previous letters were being forwarded to the Portland FBI office. This would not guarantee a criminal investigation would be initiated; this would be left to the discretion of the field office and the US attorney general. This was three years after I first filed complaints about Schwab’s illegal activities with the Portland FBI office and we were back to where we started. Neither the Portland FBI office nor the attorney general’s office has contacted me since. And as you know, Attorney General Gonzales has since resigned.
In January 2008, I wrote to Bush’s new attorney general, Michael Mukasey, and requested that he investigate my allegations against Schwab. In March 2008, I followed up with a letter to President Bush requesting the status of my complaints against Schwab. I copied leaders of the US Congress on both these letters. However, I have not received any response.
Given the seriousness of my allegations against Schwab, the unlikely activities I have discussed above and the lack of any response from the US Government, I believe the Bush administration has engaged in an ongoing conspiracy to protect Schwab from our system of justice. This belief is bolstered when I hear that Bush refuses to provide White House records, as required by law, and that Karl Rove suddenly discovers that he lost four years’ worth of emails, which happens to cover the period of my efforts to bring Schwab to justice.
Once more I am requesting that the US Government investigate my allegations against Schwab and bring him to justice. By engaging in this battle with the US Government, I realize that I am risking my life. However, the type of suffering Schwab caused my fiancée and me, followed by the ongoing efforts of the US Government to protect Schwab does not leave a man of character any alternative. The person in the most danger is Kim Haines, for she would be the star witness in any proceedings against Schwab. I hope you will do everything in your power to protect her.
