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.

United States House of Representatives
The Honorable Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House
U.S. Capitol,
Washington, DC   20515-6601

January 1, 2007

Subject:          Mr Charles Schwab
Reference:      Previous letters to leaders of the US Government
Attachment:  Emails from Ms Kim Doheny

Dear Speaker Pelosi,

Congratulations on your new role as Speaker of the House and for the Democratic Party’s takeover of the US Congress. The fog is clearing for most Americans who are hopeful that the Democratic Party might change the direction of our country. What they crave most is a government that will represent their interests and work to assure their welfare. However, most people I talk with are pessimistic. Americans are becoming aware that both parties have abandoned them and now work fulltime to enhance the riches of the wealthy class and corporations. It might not be so bad were we not falling far behind the EU countries where the availability and quality of all social programs far exceeds that of the US—all at lower costs. 

The real purpose of this letter was to address my concerns about the US Government’s reluctance to investigate my allegations against Mr Charles Schwab. My case has been before the Bush Administration and leaders of US Congress since August of 2002, when I first reported Mr Schwab’s illegal activities. Though I received a cordial letter from The White House staff indicating that our president was referring my concerns to the US Department of Justice, it has remained in limbo ever since. In September of 2005, I did receive a letter from Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales’ office, indicating the case was being reviewed. However, time passes and nothing happens. No one has ever initiated a discussion with me regarding this case—except when Mr Schwab accused me of trying to kill him. 

Given the seriousness of my allegations, and the supporting evidence I have provided, it is my perception that the Bush Administration and/or others in the US Government have deliberately protected Mr Schwab from our system of justice. Martha Stewart, a Democrat, fibbed about a tip from her broker, which is standard practice on Wall Street, and quickly got six months in jail. President Clinton fibbed about his sex life, which is no else’s business, and the Republicans spent millions trying to bring him down and trying to impeach him. Charles Schwab, a Republican and Bush favorite, committed some very serious crimes, but after four and a half years of “review,” he is still a free man.

My allegations against Mr Charles Schwab:

Computer Hacking and email theft

Mr Schwab hacked my computers, stole my emails, destroyed files, and spied on me. He shared my emails with Ms Kim Haines, more recently, Mrs Kim Doheny. Ms Haines discussed Schwab’s illegal activities with me in person and via emails, all of which I provided to the US Government.   

Conspiracy & Lying to the FBI

Since the FBI first started investigating my allegations against Mr Schwab, he and Ms Haines have conspired to deceive the US Government claiming they did not know one another. Indeed, Mr Schwab’s corporate attorneys wrote me twice and claimed the same thing. Because I had provided the FBI ample proof that these people do indeed know one another, prior to their ever talking with them, I question why they so easily accepted these false claims and discontinued their investigation. I believe this might be a deliberate cover-up by the US Government.  I am attaching a recent email from Mrs Doheny, formerly, Ms Haines, in which she discusses Mr Schwab and her relationship with him.

Conspiracy to frame me for attempted murder

In August of 2003, Mr Schwab and his good friend, Mr Keith Johnson of Fieldstone Homes, conspired (with President Bush) to frame me for trying to kill him. They both told Ms Haines that I was trying to kill Schwab by placing bombs on his properties. Mr Schwab then told the FBI the same thing. As part of their conspiracy, they also terrorized Ms Haines with death threats over the phone. Something is obviously wrong here: If Mr Schwab did not know Ms Haines, as he claimed to the FBI, how could he be telling her that I was trying to kill him? How was it that her boss was telling her the same thing? For not knowing one another, they were sure talking a lot. 

Very important: The discovery of Mr Schwab’s so-called bombs was made the very week that I had told friends, via email, that I would be visiting California, and specifically, the Pebble Beach/Carmel area, where the bombs were found. Mr Schwab was still into my computer and reading my emails—one year after I had reported his illegal activities to the Bush Administration and US Congressional leaders. Indeed, he felt he was above the law, perhaps for good reason. 

On August 21, 2003, the FBI interrogated me about Mr Schwab’s accusations. It was quite fortunate that I had canceled my travel plans and was not in California. Had Mr Schwab also been tapping my telephone, he would have known this. Just as I predicted with the FBI agents, these bombs turned out to be fakes. 

During our discussion about Mr Schwab’s bombs, FBI Agent, John Ferreira told me that Mr Schwab and Ms Haines had claimed they did not know one another. Mr Schwab also claimed he did not know who I was. When I told Mr Ferreira that I could easily prove they did know one another, he told me that the FBI was going to talk with Mr Schwab and Ms Haines again and if they were lying, they were going to jail. I doubt the FBI was allowed to follow through with this, for Mr Schwab and Ms Haines are still not in jail.

Questionable Financial Dealings

 Mr Schwab’s financial dealings with Ms Haines were questionable and I suspect included insider trading, tax evasion, and certainly financial coercion/blackmail. I believe the handling of his loan to her, and his control over her stock account with his company, improper.   

As Speaker of the House, I am requesting that you initiate a congressional investigation into my allegations against Mr Schwab. This will have a positive effect upon the American people who have lost faith in their government, and will provide a needed lesson to those of wealth and power who feel they can break the law with impunity.

Sincerely,

 

Reference: Email from Kim Haines re her former fiancé Charles Schwab

Email from Mrs Kim Doheny, July 25, 2006

Note:  Except for deletions of personal information, the following email is from the original. Kim refers to Charles Schwab as her “old mentor and friend.” She says he’s still managing most of her money (not by her choice, I’m sure). She says Charles has remarried his ex-wife, Helen, and that they are spending time at his Montana home, a huge mansion located on his 25,000-acre ranch in the Bitterroot country. She seems to know quite a bit about this man she told the FBI she did not know.

Wayne –
… I am still close to my old mentor and friend and he still handles most of our finances.  Life has improved for him over the past two years as he and his former wife have remarried, he is spending more and more time in his beautiful home in Montana, and he is still quite busy running his company.  There is really nothing much more to say about him other than he is who he is and that will never change.

My best to you,

Kim
