My reply to Assistant Attorney General Wilson

I've pasted in below my May 22, 2009 email reply to Assistant Attorney General Wilson's May 13, 2009 reply to my charges. This is the reply that the Attorney General's Office referenced in their email reply that I posted yesterday.

Dear Assistant Attorney General Wilson,

Thank you for your reply. Are you telling me that although I notified both you and Attorney General Bill McCollum of my charges of criminal misconduct by Florida law enforcement and a publicly regulated utility that neither one of you is legally required to forward my charges to someone that can address them? I didn’t ask the OAG to investigate my charges, but rather I only reported them to the Attorney General. Coincidentally,Jamie McLaughlin, the top cop that I charged with official misconduct suddenly and unexpectedly resigned the day after the USPS confirmed delivery of my letter to the FL OAG. Apparently, he may have believed that the FL OAG would do something.

The FDLE OIG has an inherent conflict of interest in investigating my charges. Kim Likens from the Governor's OIG left a message to call her. Ms. Likens told me that her boss, Dawn Case, wanted her to call me and tell me that she had forwarded my letter to the Governor regarding my charges to FDLE IG Al Dennis. Ms. Likens said that this matter belongs with the FDLE. FDLE OIG Inspector Keith Wilmer called me a short time afterwards. Inspector (Criminal Investigator) Wilmer said that his call was in response to an email (from Dawn Case) to FDLE IG Dennis and that he didn't know anything other than that or about my letter to then Gov. Bush. FDLE OIG Criminal Investigator Dennis lied. Inspector Wilmer said that he was calling about an email that he received from IG Dennis regarding a law enforcement tracking device. Criminal Investigator Wilmer denied that he had any other prior knowledge of my complaint. Mr. Wilmer then proceeded to quote verbatim my correspondence to Gov. Bush and others, indicating a prior knowledge. When Mr. Wilmer's conversation grew increasingly silly, I asked him if there were any Florida law enforcement bugs on the utility poles servicing the house and grounds. Wilmer said that he didn't know. Besides being expensive, these electronic surveillance
devices are serialized and inventoried. A simple accounting will prove my charges, as well as some evidence and testimony that the FDLE and State Attorney’s office withheld in my neighbors’ drug trial.

Regarding your suggestion that I request that Governor Crist appoint a “special prosecutor” outside the 14th Judicial District: Doesn’t the state attorney of that Judicial Circuit have to request to be excused? Considering that State Attorney Hess refuses to reply to my Florida Public Records Request, isn’t it silly to expect this same state attorney to request to be excused or allow a truly independent “special prosecutor” to investigate my charges? Considering that State Attorney Hess has refused to respond to my Public Records Request, I find it unlikely that he would agree to the voluntary mediation that you suggested. I’m asking you the following question in your official position of Assistant Attorney General: Is State Attorney Hess’ refusal to respond to my Florida Public Records
Request an impeachable offense?

Regarding your suggestion that I consult a private attorney: I have suspicions that those private attorneys that were involved in this matter were tampered with, and, furthermore, no licensed attorney who wishes to continue practicing law in Florida will even talk to me following the initial contact.

Again, thank you for your reply and suggestions. If you have any
questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me, so that we can
resolve this matter. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Joe Keegan

From Attorney General Bill McCollum

I received the following reply to my email to the Assistant Attorney General from the the Attorney General's Office:

From Attorney General Bill McCollum
AG <.@myfloridalegal.com> Tue, May 26, 2009 at 1:03 PM
To: joe.keegan@gmail.com
The Office of Attorney General Bill McCollum has received your email responding to this office’s earlier email of May 13, 2009.

This office is precluded by law from providing legal advice or opinions to private individuals. Thus, this office suggested that you may wish to consult a private attorney who would be able to provide you with the legal advice this office is precluded from offering. In an effort to be of assistance, however, this office attempted to provide you with information as to whom you might contact on this matter.

In addition, as this office noted in its previous email, the Governor, under part II of chapter 27, Florida Statutes, has the authority to issue executive orders assigning 'special prosecutors,' which are state attorneys assigned to handle criminal matters outside of their particular circuits. As to information regarding the exercise of that authority, you should contact the Governor’s Office. I would note, however, that in authorizing the Governor to appoint a special prosecutor, section 27.14, Florida Statutes, provides that if a state attorney is "disqualified to represent the state in any investigation, case, or matter pending in the courts of
his or her circuit or if, for any other good and sufficient reason, the Governor determines that the ends of justice would be best served, the Governor may, by executive order filed with the Department of State, either order an exchange of circuits or of courts between such state attorney and any other state attorney or order an assignment of any state attorney to discharge the duties of the state attorney with respect to one or more specified investigations, cases, or matters, specified in general in the executive order of the Governor." (e.s.)

As this office noted, the mediation program operated by this office is voluntary only and both sides must agree to participate. This office has no authority under the statutes to compel an agency to agree to mediation.

Article III, section 17, Florida Constitution, sets forth the officers subject to, and procedures for, impeachment, providing in subsection (a):

“The governor, lieutenant governor, members of the cabinet, justices of the supreme court, judges of district courts of appeal, judges of circuit courts, and judges of county courts shall be liable to impeachment for misdemeanor in office. The house of representatives by two-thirds vote shall have the power to impeach an officer. The speaker of the house of representatives shall have power at any time to appoint a committee to investigate charges against any officer subject to impeachment.”

Wilful violations of the Public Records may constitute a criminal violation. As stated in the Government in the Sunshine Law Manual (an abridged edition of which is available online at: http://www.myfloridalegal.com/sun.nsf/manual),

“Criminal penalties

Section 119.10(1)(b), F.S., states that a public officer who knowingly violates the provisions of s. 119.07(1), F.S., is subject to suspension and removal or impeachment and commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable by possible criminal penalties of one year in prison, or $1,000 fine, or both. See State v. Webb, 786 So. 2d 602 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001) (s. 119.10[2] authorizes a conviction for violating s. 119.07 only if a defendant is found to have committed such violation "knowingly,"; statute cannot be interpreted as allowing a conviction based on mere negligence). And see s. 119.10(1)(a), F.S., providing that a violation of any provision of Ch. 119, F.S., by a public officer is a noncriminal infraction,
punishable by fine not exceeding $500. Cf. s. 838.022(1)(b), F.S. (unlawful for a public servant, with corrupt intent to obtain a benefit for any person or to cause harm to another, to conceal, cover up, destroy, mutilate, or alter any official record or official document or cause another person to perform such an act).

A state attorney may prosecute suits charging public officials with violations of the Public Records Act, including those violations which may result in a finding of guilt for a noncriminal infraction. AGO 91-38.”

Moreover, as noted in the manual:

“When a method for removal from office is not otherwise provided by the Constitution or by law, the Governor may suspend an elected or appointed public officer who is indicted or informed against for any misdemeanor arising directly out of his or her official duties. Section 112.52(1), F.S. If convicted, the officer may be removed from office by executive order of the Governor. Section 112.52(3), F.S. A person who pleads guilty or nolo contendere or who is found guilty is, for purposes of s. 112.52, F.S., deemed to have been convicted, notwithstanding the suspension of sentence or the withholding of adjudication. Id. Cf. s. 112.51, F.S., and Art. IV,
s. 7, Fla. Const.”

Thank you for contacting the Attorney General’s Office.

AG <.@myfloridalegal.com> Wed, May 13, 2009 at 2:35 PM
To: joe.keegan@gmail.com
The Office of Attorney General Bill McCollum has received your email
regarding your complaint against the Florida Department of Law Enforcement
and the state attorney’s office.

I must advise you that the Attorney General has no legal authority to
investigate the actions of law enforcement officers as they pursue their
official duties. You may wish to voice your concerns to Florida Department
of Law Enforcement's Office of Inspector General at:

Office of Inspector General
Florida Department of Law Enforcement
Post Office Box 1489
Tallahassee, Florida 32302-1489
Telephone: (850) 410-7225

The Office of Inspector General is established to provide a central point
for coordination of and responsibility for activities that promote
accountability, integrity, and efficiency in government. If you believe
that a criminal violation has occurred, it is the responsibility of the
state attorney to prosecute. This office does not have jurisdiction over
the actions of the state attorney. The state attorneys are independent
constitutional officers; they are not a part of the Attorney General’s
Office and this office has no authority over the prosecutorial decisions
made by such officers. I would note, however, that the Governor, under
part II of chapter 27, Florida Statutes, has the authority to issue
executive orders assigning 'special prosecutors,' which are state attorneys
assigned to handle criminal matters outside of their particular circuits.
See section 27.14, Florida Statutes, which provides that if a state
attorney is "disqualified to represent the state in any investigation,
case, or matter pending in the courts of his or her circuit or if, for any
other good and sufficient reason, the Governor determines that the ends of
justice would be best served, the Governor may, by executive order filed
with the Department of State, either order an exchange of circuits or of
courts between such state attorney and any other state attorney or order an
assignment of any state attorney to discharge the duties of the state
attorney with respect to one or more specified investigations, cases, or
matters, specified in general in the executive order of the Governor." And
see section 943.03(2), Florida Statutes, which states that “[u]pon specific
direction by the Governor in writing to the executive director, the
department [of law enforcement] shall investigate the misconduct, in
connection with their official duties, of public officials and employees
and of members of public corporations and authorities subject to suspension
or removal by the Governor.” The contact information for the Governor's
Office is:

Executive Office of the Governor
PL-05 The Capitol
Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0001

As to your complaints about your attempts to obtain public records, it is
the local state attorney, not the Attorney General, who is responsible for
prosecuting violations of the public records law. Since your complaint is
with the state attorney’s office, you may wish to contact the Governor’s
Office on this matter. As noted above, the Governor has the authority to
appoint a special prosecutor when a state attorney has a conflict of
interest.

While this office has no specific enforcement authority over the public
records law, we do operate an informal mediation program to assist in
obtaining records. The program is voluntary and all sides must agree to
consider mediation if the program is to be initiated. It is not intended to
serve as a forum for determining whether an agency has or has not violated
the law. If you are interested in participating in the voluntary mediation
program, please contact Anna Phillips, Mediation Coordinator, at the
following address: The Office of the Attorney General, PL-01, The Capitol,
Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1050; telephone (850) 245-0140; email:
anna.phillips@myfloridalegal.com We will need a list of the records you
have requested and to whom the request was made. We will then contact
those agencies to determine whether they wish to participate in mediation.

You may also wish to consider consulting a private attorney if you need any
legal advice. A private attorney would be able to provide you with the
legal advice this office is precluded from offering. If you do not know an
attorney, The Florida Bar offers a Lawyer Referral Service, which you may
contact toll free at (800)342-8060, or by mail at 651 East Jefferson
Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2300.

Thank you for contacting the Attorney General’s Office.

Dealership Service Department

I called a car dealership and asked to be connected to the Service Department. They have only two Service Dept. employees dealing with customers and one was out, so I explained the problem and told the receptionist that I'd call back. I eventually connected with one of the Service Dept. managers. He said that it was kids with an unauthorized key. The problem is that the security indicator light keeps blinking, which he described accurately. He said that he had a similar case and will research it. He said that he'd get back to me today. He still hasn't.

Early Morning Visitor

I woke up sometime between 2:00 and 2:30 a.m. this morning, Thursday, April 16, 2009. I was wide awake and, instead, of trying to get back to sleep, I got up, went to the den, turned on the light and then the pc to "surf the internet." I hadn't even got on-line (dial-up)when I heard the car door shut outside. The car is in the driveway about 15 feet from the den. The den window was opened. I ran for the door, but stopped to search for the flashlight. When I got out, I headed south, because it's the easiest way to access the property and I figured that's the direction whoever shut the door would run. It may have been a mistake, however. I didn't find anyone. The house is located about 1/4 mile off a dirt road back in the woods. It's easiest to access it from the south via the driveway. I looked around for about 10 minutes and figured that whoever shut the car door was gone or else I couldn't find him.

When I returned to the car, I shined the flashlight in the interior and didn't notice anything. I then went in, got the key, came back, and started the car. It started. I only lock the car- sophisticated security security- when I'm out and about, and, rarely, if ever lock it at home. So, naturally, I decided to lock it after the fact and pressed the key immobilizer lock button, which locks the car. And, that's when I noticed the security indicator light blinking. Someone may have slipped another key into the ignition in order to start it. I doubt that the person was a cop, because whoever it was knew about cars and was familiar with the area. However, he now realizes that there's a transponder in the key that has to match or else the vehicle won't start. So what was the motive? To steal it or disable the security alarm? As I've said, the house is located 1/4 mile back in the woods and the gate's locked every night, but that's not a big deal. They cut the chain before and they could also jimmy the lock. I also intend to search the vehicle later this morning for illegal contraband.

Office of Attorney General Complaint and Questions

I electronically filed the following complaint and questions yesterday, April 14, 2009, with the Attorney General's Office.

I sent a letter along with evidence to State Attorney Glenn Hess- FL 14th Judicial District- charging the FDLE, Holmes County Sheriff’s Dept, and WFEC with illegal electronic surveillance, etc. I also charged former State Attorney Steve Meadows and his Chief Assistant State Attorney with covering up. The USPS confirmed delivery of my EXPRESS MAIL envelope, Receipt Number: EH55 8363 395US, at 10:25 AM Monday, March 9, 2009. On 3-18-09, I phoned the SAO, asked to speak to State Attorney Hess, and was transferred to "Pam's" answering machine. I left a recorded message for Pam to ask State Attorney Hess if he had the chance to review my March 6, 2009 letter and VHS tape that I sent to him, left my name, address, phone number, today's date, asked for an appointment, and requested that he get back to me so that we can resolve this matter. On 3-20-09 I phoned the SAO and again left a message on “Pam’s” answering machine.

On 4-3-09, I faxed the SAO a public records request seeking all files related to my March 6, 2009 letter discussed above. I called the SAO and an employee acknowledged receiving the fax. On 4-7-09, I phoned the SAO employee that handles the Public Record Requests and left a message inquiring as to the status of my request. I still haven't received a return call from the SAO regarding either my complaint or Public Records Request.

Isn’t State Attorney Hess required to at least respond to my complaint or else charge me with filing a false report? Isn’t State Attorney Hess required by law to respond to my Public Records Request?

I’ve pasted in a copy of my 3-6-09 letter to State Attorney Hess below:

SAO Public Records Request Follow-up Call

Phoned the SAO employee that handles FL Public Record Requests earlier this morning and left message on answering machine inquiring as to the status of my request. As of this post, I still haven't received a return call from the SAO regarding my Public Records Request.

SAO Public Records Request

I faxed a Florida Public Records Request to the 14th Judicial District SAO this morning requesting all records related to my March 6, 2009 letter to State Attorney Glenn Hess charging the Holmes County Sheriff's Department, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the WFEC with illegal electronic surveillance and conspiracy to violate my civil and constitutional rights. I called the SAO and a female employee verified receipt of my request.

Early Start

Fixed wing noisy single engine flew over this morning at 6:45 am headed east-southeast at just barely the legal altitude of 400 feet. It's a good way to wake up people first thing on a Saturday morning or if you want to get their attention.

Florida State Attorney Hess Telephone Call

I phoned the State Attorney Office this morning. I called the general number, didn't block my phone number from caller ID, identified myself, and asked to speak to State Attorney Hess. A male answered the phone and transferred my call. I didn't get a person, but rather "Pam's" answering machine. I left a recorded message for Pam to ask State Attorney Hess if he had the chance to review my March 6, 2009 letter and VHS tape that I sent to him, left my name, address, phone number, today's date, asked for an appointment, and requested that he get back to me so that we can resolve this matter.

Camera shy?

Around 11:50 am this morning, March 7, 2009, two white males average height in their late 30's to 40's and somewhat in shape for law enforcement (my guess)ran and got into a black pickup truck and drove off quickly. It wasn't normal. They didn't want to be seen or more likely photographed (TIP: If you didn't run, you wouldn't have been noticed. Also, another TIP: when you follow someone into a store, try to have a prop- like a shopping cart or basket, preferably with something in it). I'd guess that they were FDLE or from some agency at FDLE's request. Recently, a neighbor told me that "they want your meat." Hmm, I wonder if it had anything to do with that "UPS" package that I didn't touch and then disappeared after a few days as mysteriously as it was delivered to the wrong address and addressee? At any rate, the stalking and bizarre incidents (even by my standards)have intensified since that Judge refused to talk to me and now appear to be approaching a crescendo. I hope that they don't have another SWAT raid on the agenda. One stooge on a website wrote regarding such raids that they'll first shoot and ask questions later the next time.

About a week or so ago, Coast to Coast AM had a program on ELECTRONIC INVASION. I thought that I could contribute to it, because it wouldn't be sanitized like these posts. At the risk of seeming presumptuous, I'd probably be entertaining. Unfortunately, the program is so popular I couldn't get in on any line- toll free or wild care- despite repeatedly trying. The stalking and bizarre incidents have gone off the scale since that show.

White House Office of Public Liaison

I sent the following request for help to President Obama via the above referenced website:

I'm requesting President Obama's help in resolving a problem that has gone on for much too long, and all levels of government have been unresponsive and unwilling to help. The problem is abuse of authority and cover-up regarding warrant less electronic surveillance. Three electronic surveillance experts have all verified the presence of surveillance devices, yet no responsible public authority, including FBI Director Mueller, will do anything. For a further explanation, please see the the topic "Who's Watching Big Brother?" at the Reader Rant section of Capitol Hill Blue's website. I need the President's help. Thank you.

What was he up to?

When I left the store this morning, I saw the guy running from my parked vehicle across to the next lane and get in the SUV on the passenger side. After a minute or so, he got out, ran around to the driver's side, got in, and drove off. He appeared anxious. It was almost funny in a sick sort of way.

New Sheriff in Town

The Holmes County Times Advertiser reported on the front page in its February 11, 2009 edition that "Dope distribution takes a hit in Holmes County." The HC Sheriff's Department and Florida Highway Patrol hauled away 200 pounds of marijuana from a two-story log home and are seeking its owner.The owner built compartments in his home in which to hold the 25-pound pot bales. The Holmes County Times Advertiser reported that Chief Deputy John Braxton, Jr., said, "He was a major distributor." Braxton also commented, "He's been doing this for about 10 years" and "He flew under the radar."

The raid resulted from an investigation that began after a traffic stop in mid January just after Tim Brown was sworn in as the new Sheriff, replacing former Sheriff Dennis Lee. The former Sheriff will take a position with the Bay County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Brown said that state and federal authorities have been notified.

DC Office call

I called Senator Leahy's DC office early yesterday morning. I spoke with Dan (they also don't give last names). I asked Dan if I could speak to Senator Leahy. Dan said that Sen. Leahy was unavailable and asked if I wanted to leave a message. I said yes and told Dan that I sent the Senator a package regarding FBI Patriot Act abuse and illegal electronic surveillance, a VHS tape, and some emails, and asked if the Senator viewed the VHS tape. Hopefully Senator Leahy will give me the courtesy of a reply call or email.

Sen. Leahy

Just awhile ago, I emailed the above post to Senator Leahy. Gosh, I hope I don't get into any trouble.

Senate Judiciary Committee

Got off the phone a short while ago with Steve (they don't give last names)at the Senate Judiciary Committee. Steve said that they received and forwarded my letter and evidence to Counsel by "issue area (subject)." I asked what "issue area" or what Subcommittee. He said that he didn't know. I asked for Counsel's phone number. He said that he can't release it. I asked for the name of the Chief Counsel. He said that he can't give it. So I asked to speak to Chairman Leahy. He said that the Senator's busy. So I asked him to schedule an appointment. He said that he can't do that and that I'd have to call his office. I asked Steve what he thought of cover-ups. Steve said that he's against them.

I sent the following email to Senator Leahy requesting a brief telephonic appointment:
Dear Sen. Leahy,

I just got off the phone with Steve at the Senate Judiciary Committee. He confirmed that they received my packet regarding the FBI and illegal electronic surveillance that I sent to you last month and they forwarded it to counsel by issue area. Unfortunately, he couldn't give me a phone number for counsel, the issue area, or the name of the chief counsel. I requested that he connect me to you so that I may find out the status of my charges and evidence. He said that you're busy and he can't do that. So I asked him if he could schedule an appointment with you and he said no and that I'd have to call your office to do so. Since I'm not in your area code, I'm requesting 5 minute phone conversation with you to discuss this matter. I've listed
my address and phone number below. Thank you for your consideration.

Joe Keegan

Senate Judiciary Subcommittees

Monday, Dec. 22, 2008, I emailed Sen. Leahy and faxed the senate Judiciary Committee and Subcommittees the following message:

December 22, 2008

Chairman Patrick J. Leahy
United States Senate
Committee on the Judiciary
224 Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
Fax: 202-224-9516

Re: FBI Oversight- Please associate with my Dec. 11, 2008 letter (USPS # EH 222975937 US)

Dear Chairman Leahy,

I appeared as summoned at the Holmes County courthouse (FL 14th Judicial Circuit) Friday morning, Dec. 12, 2008, for jury duty. I was prospective juror #37. After Clerk of the Court Cody Taylor explained the procedures, he asked if anyone wanted to talk to the judge about being excused from duty. I raised my hand. I intended to present the judge with evidence of my charges in his chambers. Taylor called a one half hour recess and called me over to him. He told me that the judge doesn't want to talk to me and said that I'm excused. This is the same courthouse in which another judge earlier declared a mistrial in my neighbors’ drug case that I referenced in my December 11, 2007 letter to FBI Director Mueller. The judge dismissed the case because the State Attorney and FDLE withheld evidence and testimony. I suspect that the withheld evidence would prove my charges.

The above is representative of all state officials’ responses to my charges and why I am requesting the Senate Judiciary Committee’s help. No Florida politician will intervene on my behalf. My situation is not unique. The Patriot Act just legalized what various agencies have been doing for years, and there are no effective checks and balances to the inevitable abuses. The recent DOJ policy changes regarding information sharing between federal, state, and local law enforcement only makes it easier to cover-up such abuses on all levels. If you have any questions, please contact me and I will answer any questions that you may have and provide you with whatever additional information that you may require. Thank you.

Sincerely

Joe Keegan

Jury Duty

Appeared as summoned at the courthouse Friday morning, Dec. 12, for jury duty. I was prospective juror #37. After Clerk of the Court Cody Taylor explained the procedures, he asked if anyone wanted to talk to the judge about being excused from duty. I figured that I might as well to avoid a possible scene, because no prosecutor would allow me to sit on any jury anyway. Taylor called a one half hour recess and called me over to him. He told me that the judge doesn't want to talk to me and said that I'm excused.

US Senate Judicicary Committee

The USPS verified delivery of my EXPRESS MAIL envelope tracking #: EH 222975937 US at 11:08 AM on December 12, 2008 in WASHINGTON, DC 20510 to SENATE 20510 R6 . The item was signed for by E TURNER. A copy of the text of my letter follows:

“When just one of us loses just one of our rights, then the freedoms of all of us are diminished.” - FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

Re: FBI oversight

Dear Chairman Leahy,

Despite FBI Director Mueller’s assurances, there are no effective controls to prevent the inevitable abuses resulting from the recent changes to DOJ regulations that would allow state and local law enforcement agencies to collect intelligence on individuals and or-ganizations even if the information is unrelated to any criminal activity. Federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies have an inherent conflict of interest in investigating themselves and each other. These changes are too open to deliberate misinterpretation and abuse by those with the will to do so. 28 C.F.R. Part 23 already provided all the direction necessary for law enforcement to do their job within the constraints of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights while keeping all of us safe from the real terrorists and criminals.

My situation is a case in point and serves as a model as to what to expect from these new regulations. After exhausting all administrative remedies with the State of Florida to resolve my charges of illegal electronic surveillance and harassment against the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Holmes County Sheriff’s Department, and the West Florida Electric Co-Op, I filed a complaint with the FBI Jacksonville Field Office. When Jacksonville refused to reply to inquiries regarding the status of my complaint, I mailed a more detailed one, dated December 11, 2007, to FBI Director Mueller and included a copy of a VHS tape (enclosed). Electronic surveillance experts said that the audio phenomenon that I managed to record, such as the amplification and unnatural resonance of the dog’s barking and sound of the aircraft, is indicative of electronic surveillance. Earlier three other electronic surveillance experts all verified illegally mounted electronic surveillance devices on the utility poles servicing the house and grounds, but refused to supply their reports. One expert even identified the manu-facturer of the devices as Audio Intelligence Devices, a supplier to law enforcement and government agencies. When the FBI refused to reply to my complaints, I filed a number of FOIA/PA requests in order to get an acknowledgment of my charges by the FBI. However, the FBI denied having any records related to me or my charges, even though I mailed my complaints EXPRESS MAIL and FBI personnel signed for them. The Jacksonville Field Office even denied receiving my FOIA/PA Request.

I appealed the FBI’s "no record" responses. Deputy Chief Work of the Administrative Appeals Staff dismissed my appeals as "moot" and closed my appeal files, because both FBI HQ and the Jacksonville Field Offices denied having any records. She even dismissed an appeal that I hadn’t filed yet. Consequently, I filed two separate complaints, one under the Patriot Act, with the DOJ OIG charging FBI employees with misconduct. When the IG didn’t acknowledge my complaints, I filed a FOIA/PA request with the DOJ OIG seeking records related to my filed charges against named FBI employees. I received a "no records" response to my FOIA. The IG denied receiving my complaints.

Around this time period, I called FBI HQ mailroom, which easily tracked my EXPRESS MAIL letter to FBI Director Mueller and the room/unit where it was eventually delivered. I suspect that my phone call to the FBI mailroom and/or two complaints filed with the DOJ OIG charging the FBI with lying to cover-up and abuse of the Patriot Act may have prompted Civil Rights CID Chief Peeples’ reply. He returned my complaint and evidence addressed to FBI Dir. Mueller and wrote: "The allegations that you have brought to our attention do not warrant any action by the FBI."

My charges most certainly warrant the FBI’s action as a form of check and balances and oversight to state and local law enforcement abuses, especially in light of these new regulations. I’ve enclosed a copy of my letter, dated December 11, 2007, and evidence, including a VHS videotape, to FBI Director Mueller. I am requesting that the Senate Judiciary Committee investigate my charges and that you or your staff present my complaint directly to FBI Director Mueller for his reply. I began this letter with the following quote from Director Mueller: “When just one of us loses just one of our rights, then the freedoms of all of us are diminished.” I would like to know if he means what he said or are they just words.


Sincerely,
Joe Keegan
