SECOND AFFIDAVIT OF PROBABLE CAUSE

 

 

TO:       Office of Chief Judge             Ref. #14-CR-27-F

          U.S. District Court                    (USDC/DWY)

          700 Stewart St.

          Seattle 98101

          Washington State, USA

 

FROM:     Paul Andrew Mitchell, B.A., M.S.

          FDC SeaTac Reg. No 44202-086, Unit “EA”

 

SUBJECT:  ongoing investigation of missing

          and/or defective credentials, w/ DOJ

 

 

Greetings Your Honor:

 

Start by reviewing Martinez v. Winner, 771 F.2d 424 (1985).

 

In the matter of Case No. MJ-14-00030 (JPD), please accept this AFFIDAVIT summarizing the credential investigation which the Undersigned has been conducting at least since the year 1996 A.D., with assistance of U.S. DOJ.

 

In particular, personnel of this Court have now touched the instant case, but without having produced a true and correct copy of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management Standard Form 61 APPOINTMENT AFFIDAVITS, expressly required by the Federal statutes at 5 U.S.C. 2903 (authority to administer), 2906 (custody) and 3331.

 

To satisfy the requirements of all reasonable due diligence, Defendant submitted nearly identical FOIA Requests to OPM and OMB, for proof that OPM had complied with all regulatory requirements, imposed by the

Paperwork Reduction Act, for OMB review and approval of OPM Standard Form 61 (“SF-61”), now published on the Internet.

 

Both OPM and OMB replied in writing to say that they had no records of any administrative application from OPM that requested procedurally correct review and approval of the SF-61 which OPM has now published on the Internet, at OPM’s website, in electronic form.

 

Defendant concluded from those replies that, under 44 U.S.C. 3507 and 3512:

 

(a)     there is no valid OMB control number visible on the latter electronic SF-61;

 

(b)     the paragraph citing 5 U.S.C. 2903 has been removed from the latter electronic SF-61;  and,

 

(c)     said SF-61 appears to be a “bootleg information collection request” (“ICR”) as the latter is defined in the legislative history of the Paperwork Reduction Act.

 

Accordingly, Defendant has already obtained copies of the SF-61s for several employees of this Court, and many were refused for reasons such as the missing OMB control number;  others were just never produced by anyone.  See 44 U.S.C. 3512.

 

Here, it is important that the FOIA does exempt the entire Judicial Branch from the FOIA:  see 5 U.S.C. 551.  For that reason, Defendant historically resorted to a NOTICE AND DEMAND, instead of a FOIA Request,

 

 

- 2 of 9 –


Case 2:14-cr-00027-NDF   Document 27   Filed 03/12/2014   Page 3 of 9

 

 

to discover SF-61s for employees such as U.S. Magistrate Judges, Clerks and Deputy Clerks of Court.

 

Court employees who have failed or refused to disclose valid SF-61s include, but at not limited to:

 

(a)     James P. Donohue dba Magistrate

(b)     Brian Tsuchida dba Magistrate

(c)     William M. McCool dba Clerk of Court

 

In the Executive Branch, and to the best of his memory, Defendant has also used the FOIA to request valid SF-61s for Jenny A. Durkan, OUSA in Seattle;  Christopher A. Crofts, OUSA in Cheyenne, Wyoming;  and L. Robert Murray, OUSA, Cheyenne, Wyoming.

 

In the IRS, Defendant used the FOIA to request valid SF-61s for James Marcy and Dave Guest.  See Chrysler Corp. v. Brown, fn 23.

 

No SF-61s were produced for Messrs. Donohue, Tsuchida, and McCool!

 

The SF-61s produced for Durkan, Crofts, Murray, Marcy and Guest all displayed no OMB control number;  and, in some cases those “bootleg” requests failed to display any citation to 5 U.S.C. 2903 (authority to administer).

 

Whenever resorting to a NOTICE AND DEMAND, instead of a FOIA Request, Defendant relied upon the definition of “demand” in Black’s Law Dictionary, 6th Edition, whereby “demand” necessarily implies a

right of some kind.  In this context, the SF-61 required by 5 U.S.C. 3331, 3332, 3333 is a legislative implementation of the Oath of Office Clause at Art. VI, Sec. 3, in the Constitution for the United States of America, as lawfully amended.

 

As such, the Oath of Office on each SF-61 is Defendant’s Fundamental Right.  In this context, see Miranda v. Arizona (“rights secured by the Constitution”) read Fundamental Right.

 

In  light of all the above, Defendant is now claiming justification for concluding the following, under 19 Op.Atty.Gen. 219 (1889):

 

(a)     James P. Donohue cannot sign any orders, nor preside on any hearings;

 

(b)     Brian Tsuchida cannot sign any orders, nor preside on any hearings;

 

(c)     William M. McCool cannot put his authorized signature on any “process”;

 

(d)     Jenny A. Durkan cannot represent any government agency before this court;

 

(e)     Christopher A. Crofts cannot represent any government agency before USDC, DWY;

 

(f)     L. Robert Murray cannot represent any government agency before USDC, DWY;

 

(g)     Stephan Harris cannot put his authorized signature on any “process”;

 

(h)     James Marcy cannot be an employee of the U.S. Department of the Treasury;

 

(i)     Dave Guest cannot be an employee of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

Messrs. McCool & Harris are both claiming to be de jure Clerks of Court who have both touched the instant case.  Unfortunately, the absence of valid SF-61s renders both of them unqualified to perform any duties assigned to the Office of Clerk:

 

(a)     they cannot maintain custody of any Court records, particularly their own SF-61s, of which they are the legal custodians -- or should be the legal custodians -- designated as such by 5 U.S.C. 2906;

 

(b)     they cannot summon or screen jurors, whether grand juries or petit (trial juries, whether civil or criminal juries, insofar as neither has executed a valid SF-61 and maintains legal custody of same;  and,

 

(c)     they cannot sign any Court process that satisfies the statute at 28 U.S.C. 1691, because their signatures are not authorized signatures, absent a valid SF-61 that is and remains in the legal custody of the Office of Clerk of Court, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 2906.

 

NB:  Insofar as personnel claiming to be lawful Clerks and Deputy Clerks do not have legal custody of their own valid SF-61s, then the entire Court is rendered totally impotent because it cannot issue any process that satisfies the plain and simple requirements imposed on all “process” by the statute at 28 U.S.C. 1691.  This deficiency also exists for “indictments” and “arrest warrants”, for the same reason.

Case 2:14-cr-00027-NDF   Document 27   Filed 03/12/2014   Page 6 of 9

 

 

Court “orders” and “search warrants” must also comply with Section 1691 supra.  See case law under 28 U.S.C.S. 1691 and 28 U.S.C.A. 1691, all of which case law is almost unanimous in their holding that violations of Section 1691 result in depriving the Court of jurisdiction in personam.  Hence, Defendant’s “objection!”

 

The absence of valid SF-61s for Messrs. McCool and Harris therefore calls for the conclusions that the so-called “search warrant” executed on 6/11/2013 was void;  the so-called “arrest warrant” executed on 1/28/2014 was also void;  and, the so-called “indictmet” stamped 1/15/2014 is likewise void ab initio, for all of the reasons stated supra.  No lawful Clerk!

 

Similarly, all Court hearings to date, on which either Mr. Donohue or Mr. Tsuchida attempted to preside, were null and void, ab initio;  and, all rulings and “orders” issued during or after said hearings, were likewise null and void ab initio.  See Carmine v. Bowen, U.S. v. Tweel, here.

 

The panel of federal citizens who attempted to issue the “indictment” in the instant case was not a lawfully convened Federal grand jury, nor a lawfully screened grand jury.

 

This also means that the DOJ personnel who entered the grand jury room, did not attend, or conduct, an “official grand jury proceeding” in the instant case.

Probable Jury Tampering and

Impersonating an Officer of the United States

 

For all of the reasons already explained above, Messrs. Crofts and Murray entered the grand jury room without valid credentials, and thereby perpetrated a fraud upon the panel assembled in that room;  moreover, such a fraud also constitutes probable cause that both committed, and conspired to commit, jury tampering and impersonating an officer of the United States.  See 18 U.S.C. 912.

 

Lastly, and more to the merits of any “subpoenas” issued by the panel assembled in the grand jury room in Cheyenne, Wyo., it should now be abundantly clear that it was legally impossible for that panel to issue any valid “subpoenas” insofar as, and as long as, no valid OPM Standard Form 61 APPOINTMENT AFFIDAVITS were ever produced for any of the “players” named above;  and, insofar as, and as long as, the Office of Clerk of Court in Cheyenne failed to maintain legal custody of valid SF-61s for all Court personnel, no exceptions.  See 5 U.S.C. 2906, 3331, 3332, 3333;  44 U.S.C. 3507.

 

 

REMEDIES

 

Defendant therefore sincerely believes that the facts itemized above do fully justify ORDERs to the Office of the U.S. Attorney to show causes why this honorable Court should not take mandatory judicial notice, pursuant to FREV 201(c)(2),

of all records currently in the custody of both Clerks of Court in Seattle, Washington, and in Cheyenne, Wyoming;  to show cause why all “orders” issued in the instant case should not be vacated;  to show cause why all hearings conducted to date in the instant case should not be declared null and void;  to show cause why the “search warrant” and “arrest warrant” were not both null and void ab initio;  to show cause why the fate of Defendant’s private personal and his intellectual properties, safe and sound as they were between 6/18/2009 and 6/11/2013, should not be fully disclosed to Defendant immediately;  to show cause why the so—called “subpoenas”, issued by a panel of federal citizens gathered at the Federal Courthouse in Cheyenne, Wyoming, should not be declared null and void, and quashed for that reason;  and, to show cause why a Civil RICO cross-complaint should not commence by naming all of the individuals mentioned above as individual Co-Defendants under 18 U.S.C. 1964(c), and possibly under 18 U.S.C. 241 and 242, and 42 U.S.C. 1985 and 1986;  and, finally, to show cause why the alleged “indictment” should not be declared null and void ab initio, and why the instant case should not be dismissed with prejudice.  So be it!
