Back from SAF's Gun Rights Policy Conference

Posted by David Hardy · 1 October 2017 10:42 AM

I've been too dang busy to blog it, but it was a nice and informative conference. I'll link to it as a podcast as soon as I can get in touch with Charles Heller.

One very interesting note: Sidney Powell gave a presentation on her book, "Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice." She's a onetime DoJ attorney who became a very top notch defense attorney. Among her cases were a defendant in the Enron prosecution, and the late Sen. Ted Stevens. In both cases, DoJ was caught concealing evidence that clearly proved both men were 100% innocent, but before the convictions were set aside the first man served a year in prison, was made unemployable, and the other narrowly lost his re-election. In the Enron case, the question was who had modified a document (whose drafting involved compromises by a number of drafters) in a subtle way that made it fraudulent. What was discovered was that DoJ had concealed written evidence clearly proving that her client had not made the modification, it was another (named) drafter. The DoJ team had had actual knowledge that the defendant was innocent, and had jailed him anyway, and hidden the evidence until it disclosed it by accident.

She mentioned that the lead attorney in the Enron prosecutions was Andrew Weissman, and that when Mueller was recently named an Independent Counsel, his first pick for his subordinate attorney was ... Andrew Weissman. She added that Main Justice should be "cleaned out with Chlorox and firehoses." I would agree.

Easy fix. Simply jail those who hid the evidence for 3x the sentence of the person who was screwed.

But then this is why I call for the elimination of specific persons in all government judiciary positions, all elected DAs, etc. Then in every case the prosecutor, defender, and judge are randomly selected from all available lawyers. AND all information gathered and all evidence evaluated (forensics, etc) have to go to private contracted, certified out of state labs (or out of country) and those labs are required to send copies of everything to both the prosecution and the defense.

Let's put end to qualified immunity and plea agreements.
