In Re: Grand Jury Subpoena
 Served on IRVIN HIEL PAUGH a/k/a/ BUTCH PAUGH [sic]
 
 
Dear Grand Jury Foreperson:
 
 At the verbal request of My client, Pastor Butch Paugh, I am
writing this letter to challenge your alleged authority to issue
a subpoena upon Him to testify before your body. We hereby
document the reasons for Our challenge, as follows:
 
1. Janet Reno has failed to produce any credentials in response
to a proper and timely Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA")
request and appeal submitted for same.  In addition to the
request and appeal, a 10-day courtesy notice was also mailed to
Ms. Reno. Her deadline for producing credentials was 5:00 p.m.
on Friday, January 24, 1997. Her failure to produce the
requisite credentials means that she is now estopped from
claiming any of the authorities which can be exercised by the
Attorney General, because her silence is a fraud, pursuant to
U.S. v. Tweel, and her silence activates estoppel, pursuant to
Carmine v. Bowen. Thus, the U.S. Attorney(s) who signed the
subpoena to Pastor Paugh have no delegation of authority at all.
 
2. The federal Jury Selection and Service Act, 28 U.S.C. 1861
thru 1865, is unconstitutional for exhibiting prohibited class
discrimination against Citizens of West Virginia state who are
not also federal citizens. This is the case, even though each
and every member of your "grand jury" is otherwise qualified,
according to the requirements of this Act. The problem is that
the Act itself is unconstitutional, and its unconstitutionality
dates from the moment of its enactment. In several federal cases
around the nation, this challenge has been placed properly before
federal courts, but they are now obstructing justice by failing
to rule on it. Accordingly, your body is not a lawful grand
jury, and Pastor Butch Paugh cannot be compelled to testify
before a group of people who are not a lawful body.
 
3. Evidence now shows that specific employees of the federal
government receive financial kick-backs upon obtaining federal
grand jury indictments against the "enemies" of the President.
These kick-backs include $25,000 per indictment to U.S.
Attorneys, and $35,000 per indictment to the President of the
United States. These kick-backs are being paid under color of a
defunct federal program called the Performance Management and
Recognition System ("PMRS"). A FOIA request for all financial
records of the PMRS system has been submitted to the U.S.
Department of the Treasury. A staff attorney in the Treasury
Department has responded by admitting that there are no records
for many PMRS kick-backs, because they were paid in CASH! Add to
this the evidence of widespread perjury and property conversion
rackets within the Department of Justice, using computer software
which was stolen by that Department, and you have the makings of
a massive criminal conspiracy among employees of the U.S.
Department of Justice, the "Internal Revenue Service" [sic], and
possibly also the federal judiciary.
 
4. Recent research has also proven that the federal judiciary
has sabotaged the U.S. Constitution and corrupted laws governing
the conduct of the federal courts. This has been done in part by
creating the false impression that the United States District
Court ("USDC") has territorial and subject matter jurisdiction
within the several States of the Union, particularly over
criminal prosecutions, when it does not. The truth is that the
USDC is designed to adjudicate matters that arise within the
federal zone, and the District Court of the United States
("DCUS") is designed to adjudicate matters that arise within the
state zone. You will notice that the USDC is named on the
subpoena which you attempted to serve upon Pastor Paugh. This is
a fraud upon you, upon Me, upon Pastor Paugh, and upon all
American People, who enjoy the fundamental guarantee of due
process of law. Sedition by syntax is not due process of law.
 
5. Last but not least, I object to this blatant mistreatment of
Pastor Butch Paugh, who is being persecuted in part because He
has assumed responsibility to raise funds to pay My legal fees
for assisting His colleague, Major General Ray Looker. DOJ
attorneys are now persecuting Looker's wife, a Chinese national
who can barely speak English. Why don't they pick on someone
their own size, like sewer rats? During calendar 1996, I was
denied over $35,000 in legal fees by a conspiracy of agents, both
known and unknown, who persuaded several of My clients to believe
a vicious lie that I am some kind of federal "agent" or
"government informant." I am not. This latest move against
Pastor Paugh is more evidence of a consistent and premeditated
pattern of lies, corruption, economic terrorism, and obstruction
of justice, instigated within the Department of Justice
specifically to halt, or cripple, the important research which I
have been doing for more than 7 years now. Ask yourself this
simple question: if Our challenge to the Jury Selection and
Service Act is "frivolous," then why don't the judges just deny
it?
 
 For your edification, We have attached to this letter a
number of essays, and additional documents, which constitute
material evidence to support the challenges which We bring to you
in this letter. These documents also constitute probable cause
to charge the U.S. Attorney(s) in Pastor Paugh's case with fraud,
jury tampering, and perjury of oath, not to mention a host of
other criminal violations of pertinent federal laws. See Title
18, United States Code, Sections 241 and 242, for example.
 
 Please give all this evidence your careful and considerate
attention.
 
 The future of this nation is riding on what you do.
 
 
Sincerely yours,
 
/s/ Paul Andrew Mitchell
