Prosecutorial Deception DoJ Did Not Investigate! So We Will Not Charge!!
_____6/19/07 email to DoJ and M_J_ per 6/19 phone conversation_____ __________________________________________________________
Misrepresentation to U.S. citizen M______ from Asst. U.S. Attorney M_J_, Mpls, MN
To: ‘Alberto R. Gonzales (AskDOJ@usdoj.gov)’ Cc: ‘U.S. Department of Justice (Criminal.Division@usdoj.gov)’; ‘Jennifer Lynne Parks (Jennifer.Parks3@usdoj.gov)’
Dear Mr. Gonzales,
In regard to what I believe are a partial, incomplete and erroneous investigation, a wrongful conclusion without providing any substantive basis for the conclusion, and inaction on associated DoJ responsibilities (per its missions with and through various DoJ agencies) relative to my having been tortured in a County Jail on June 9, 2006, and the aftermath of cover-ups, misrepresentations, lies and deceptions, know this…
On December 22, 2006, M_J_ stated to me (partial transcript segments) that: “…let me tell you what is going on on my side of things…you’re right, there is a technical problem with the tapes…in addition to the tapes we are getting all this information that is coming in from internal affairs…what I want is the entire universe of information…without the FBI telling me what happened…and I can look at it see read it hear it all myself … let me tell you what you can expect…I am awaiting getting those videos…and the full universe of that information as well as all the information from internal affairs and all of the incident reports, everything that’s taken place in the internal affairs process…then we review it… what I hope to be able to do is to be able to finally get these things…in the next week or two…I think it’s going to be difficult just physically to have everything…
My question: [“…and do you have to do the same thing as the City Atty and not get the Garrity information so that you’re not then in a bad position relative to prosecuting because you’ve already been given information that will theoretically lead you to other information…”]
“…yup…”
My question: [“…do you have to walk that same line…give me what you’ve got but don’t give me the Garrity information…”]
“…certainly that’s always part of our process as we take in information…that’s something obviously that we are very much aware of as we go through collecting information…I hesitate to go beyond that because I want to go through this as objectively as possible…so getting the information from you…having all the video and reports, etc., available to me that’s the body of information that I want to have before me before I go through everything and make a determination from our office’s perspective and the dept of justice’s perspective…keep in mind the FBI is part of the dept of justice…”
On January 25, 2007, M_J_ stated to me (partial transcript segments) in response to my question, [“…have you received feedback from IAD?”] that: “…no…we don’t…we don’t…that’s not a…they do their process…we’re not involved in their process…they don’t have any obligation to share their process with us…we don’t get involved in their process whatsoever…that’s completely independent from us…”
A similar story – read “blatant contradiction” – was provided to me by M_J_ during our meeting in late April. During our phone discussion today, M_J_ flatly refused to answer, among others, this simple question, “Did you get information from IAD?” << In December she had stated very clearly that she was already receiving IAD information and getting the rest in the next 1-2 weeks. >>
Today, M_J_ asked me to put any questions in writing. I don’t have her email address, so I am sending this to your attention to both address and to forward to her.
Please give me simple straight answers to these simple straightforward questions:
1) “Did the Minneapolis U.S. Attorney’s Office receive information, statements, data, etc, from the County Sheriff’s Office and/or its IAD department as M_J_ said she was doing in December, 2006?”
2) “If so, what information did the County Sheriff’s Office and/or IAD provide to this office?”
a. In answering this question, absolutely do not provide me with any information that would lead to investigative or prosecutorial problems associated with me having received Garrity statement information or fruits of such that would ‘taint’ my potential knowledge or testimony.
3) “If not, why not?”
4) Is it a criminal civil rights violation for a U.S. citizen, completely innocent of any crime, ever, being held in a U.S. county jail, to be subjected to and held in unremitting sheer agony, severe pain, torture – whatever you want to call it – for over three hours as was intentionally, knowingly, and negligently done to me by jail personnel who, in addition to brutally abusing me and collectively and individually refusing to take any action to stop the pain as described, also laughed and mocked me and the pain I was in?
a. If so, why does Michelle Jones contend that my case not meet the requirements for full investigation and prosecution?
b. If not, why not?
i. Given the broad jurisdiction of the DoJ on all federal criminal violations should I not be directed to an appropriate DoJ entity to pursue other federal criminal actions against me by jail personnel and their leadership?
Sincerely, M_________ 000.000.0048

Dear Mr. ______
I write in response to your recent inquiries regarding our office’s decision to decline to prosecute a federal criminal civil rights case against the deputies who arrested you on June 9, 2006. I am aware that Assistant U.S. Attorney M_J_ met with you on April 25, 2007, to communicate that decision to you. Inasmuch as our office has declined the matter, we are not in a position to respond to any additional inquiries regarding the matter. As you know, your behavior at the most recent meeting with AUSA M_J_ resulted in you being escorted from our office by law enforcement officers. Please cease further communications with any employees of this office regarding our decision to decline prosecution. That decision remains unchanged.
Although we have declined to pursue federal criminal charges, you are certainly free to pursue other remedies that may be available to you.
Very truly yours,
R_K_P_ United States Attorney
