From Wired:
When 22-year-old programmer Aaron Swartz decided last fall to help an open-government activist amass a public and free copy of millions of federal court records, he did not expect he’d end up with an FBI agent trying to stake out his house.
As the piece goes on to describe, the FBI launched its investigation just before Swartz (and Carl Malamud, the above mentioned open-government activist) were profiled in The New York Times for their efforts to place as many uncopyrighted district court documents, usually available for eight-cents a page via the courts’ clunky PACER system, online for free. Swartz designed a computer program that took advantage of free use of the PACER system at some libraries to extract almost 20 million pages of documents, gratis.
As the FBI went about its business, they eventually contacted Swartz for an interview, which he wisely declined. And after the investigation was thankfully dropped—to me, it’s pretty clear that Swartz committed no crime, and that calling the FBI was a massive and troubling overreaction—Swartz decided to extract another set of government documents: he filed a Freedom of Information Act request for his FBI records, which he posted last night on his blog.
I subscribed to the CJR last year. I am a victim of bias and prejudice from various jurists within the New York State Supreme Court and its Appellate Court.
I've been targeted by gangsters within Freemasonry since 1999. They went into the archives at the New York State DMV and placed 28 false violations on my driver license. In order to facilitate a false arrest and confiscate my valid California driver license while visiting New York. Well recently via the New York City Advocates office the NYS DMV expunged all these violations.
However, back on October 29, 1999, approximately 2 weeks after the false arrest. I was involved in an automobile accident which rendered me physically impaired with injuries in three-four ares of my spine (cervical,thoracic,lumber/sacral). This secret society used corrupt doctors to undertreat and keep information about my condition from me. They had the radiologist sent one set of MRI report to my then barrister (Jacoby & Meyers) and another to my then doctor. Meantime, it had me falsely arrest in October 2000, maliciously prosecuted by Charles Hynes office, and imprisoned until June 2001. All the charges were dismissed. During the episode I was a victim of grand larceny which NYPD reported as a "petty larceny" in prevent its investigation. They stole my intellectual property (such as a draft for a manuscript), business equipment, professional wardrobe, college books and notes. I was left homeless and unable to prove whom I was.
I cloak the false arrest and imprisonment. It hired unethical practitioners of the art of "psychiatry" to put false a false diagnose that I was mentally impaired.
It used corrupt individuals within the Social Security Administration to deprive me of disability benefits because of the spinal condition. They (SSA) attempt to coerce me to submit a claim for a "mental impairment," rather than "physical impairment." The unfortune accident made it impossible to pursue my professional ambition (successful real estate executive).
Meantime, the NYS HRA, and the NYC Human Resource have subjected me to all manner of harassment and discrimination; which violate public policy. Even New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was involved in Freemasonry machination to destroy me.
Meantime it has undermined my personal injury lawsuit at the Suprme Court. I had to dismiss three lawyers, and now I'm proceeding pro-se. It used corrupt jurist, my then barristers, and the defendants to undermine the the court Civil Practice Law andn Rules. I took my grievance to New York State Chief Administrative Judge Ann Pfau, and the then Chief Justice Judith S. Kaye. They intervened in my behalf. Then as my matter began to proceed to trial at the Kings County Supreme. The defendants barrister appealed a favorable decision in my behalf by Justice Leon Ruchelsman. The panel of judges allwed the defendants barrister to proceed in an appeal in which it did not submit the entire record. One of the jurists (Reinaldo Rivera)in its decision-making panel was involved in my false imprisonment.
I sent a grievance to the chief admininstrative judges chief of staff after speaking with him personally by telephone.
White my action was in the non-jury conference part. They defendant's barrister motioned to dismiss, I was to respond by October 15, tomorrow. And planned to ask for an application to adjourn in order to prepare the response which required extensive medical, case law research. I also purposed to show the court how Freemasonry used corrupt medical professionals to undermine and ruin my finances.
Then, yesterday I received a letter from the defendants barrister that the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Appellate Division: Seceond Judicial Department. Rendered a Order against me, revesring the just order by Justice Leon Ruchelsman in January, based upon its incomplete record. The decision was based upon completely false in

Subject: TONYA WYCHE, The Evil Grinch who stole away the Justice from me...!!
To: Every citizen who is seeking justice from the courts.
The very essence of liberty certainly consists in the right of every individual to claim protection of laws and seek redress from the courts. When the courts become corrupted, the road to tyranny becomes more accessible. There are many examples of cases in which the court clerks have demonstrated a pattern of proclivity and kowtowing towards the prosecutors.
In my case, the evil Grinch in the Third Circuit Court of appeals sits as a case manager by the name of Tonya Wyche. Ms. Wyche refuses to docket and file my pleadings and motions to my cases. I sent a motion for dismissal of the indictment based on an congressional amendment of the federal law, which proves that the conduct charged in my indictment was never considered as a crime by the congress. I sent repeated requests to her for her explanation as to why my motion is not filed, but my inquiries were never responded. I tried to call her on numerous occasions, but she refused to take my calls. When I tried to file my motion electronically, Ms. Wyche conveniently cancelled my registration as an Electronic Document filer to the courts. Ms. Wyche also refuses to issue an scheduling order in my criminal appeals despite the appellate case file in her office since past TWO YEARS!!.
Ms. Wyche has hermetically closed the court doors for me and is preventing me to seek justice from the Court of Appeals.
Her actions and conduct is not because of incompetence, but rather because malice aforethought. This curtailment of right to access the courts makes it more difficult to seek redress and easier to prolong oppressive incarceration of innocent persons. In so far as the court clerks violate the rights recognized by the founding fathers codified in the constitution, their conduct is illegitimate. May be that these clerks have their own customized version of the constitution. But, when court clerks scorn their oath to uphold the constitution, they transform themselves into predator class, and justice is lost leading to arcane, arbitrary and secretive procedures with flagrant erosion of justice.
These type of clerks scorn their own mandatory duty by deciding the case and showing actual bias against the defendants for personal careerist reasons - promotion, retirement, post-retirement opportunity. Their power have given them a hubris, arrogance, and sense of invulnerability that has eroded the effective administration of the judiciary system. Rouge clerks do not have horns or tails; if they did, they would be easier to identify. The complaint proceedings against these corrupt clerks are a farce as no action is taken against these dissolute and venal clerks.
I am not writing this with slightest expectations of ending this autocratic behavior. These clerks cannot be stopped because their behavior is simply a function of the way they are and how they think, their dispositions, and the way they deal with the criminal defendants. However, they can be understood, exposed, and watched, and there is a compelling reason to do so. While their misconduct may be considered harmless in the scheme of things, their larger undertaking is of great concern. These clerks, who carry out their vendetta against citizens almost never have to pay to either the government's or citizen's legal bills, and their only incentive is to stretch their power as far as possible.
Clerks like Ms. Tonya Wyche cannot be trusted to exercise the powers given to them. Examples of this nature, if not restrained by national control, would be multiplied and extended till they become serious sources of arbitrary and disparate treatment. To prevent future bigots and ignoramuses from controlling the judicial system, these clerks have to be de-fanged and their arbitrary powers be excised. And without gov

Subject: Request for Congressional Investigation against illegal hirings of SAUSAs by Patrick Meehan, Republican. Congressional seat contestant for 7th District in Pennsylvania.
November 24, 2009
I write this to seek a congressional investigation for the illegal hiring of Special AUSA Mr. James Pavlock and others by Mr. Patrick Meehan during his term of office as a United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania from 2001-2008. Mr. Meehan is now running for the 7th district congressional seat in Pennsylvania.
The Executive Office of United States Attorneys (EOUSA) and the Office of Attorney Recruitment and Management Office(OARM) of the Department of Justice have confirmed to me after a long series of communications that Mr. Patrick Meehan had no authority to appoint Mr. James Pavlock as a Special AUSA for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. It is evident that Mr. Meehan appointed Mr. Pavlock based on political and ideological affiliations and to further his quest for witch hunts and Machiavellian prosecutions. Mr. James Pavlock, who had no previous litigation experience claimed himself to be 'senior trial attorney' and issued hundreds of illegal and punumbral subpoenas in normal investigations using the provisions of the USA PATRIOT ACT. When asked to disclose the subpoenas, he repeatedly denied the disclosure.
I request a prompt congressional investigation against Mr. Patrick Meehan and Mr. James Pavlock. It is the Congress, which carries the traditional power to expose malfeasance and malversation of public officials. Moreover, the public should be informed about licentious hirings of partisan votaries and interlopers by Mr. Meehan and the nefarious abuse of USA PATRIOT Act. Upon request, I will provide all the necessary documentary proof to the honorable members of the Congress.

Subject: Patrick Meehan needs to come forward and admit his wrong doings.
Mr. Patrick Meehan seems to be busy in his fund raising for the 7th district congressional election. But before he goes to ask for votes from the public, he needs to admit his wrong doings and previous misconduct in office as the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of pennsylvania.
Recently, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) and Office of Professional responsibility (OPR) of the Department of Justice have publically released three reports after conducting a joint investigation of politicized hiring and improper personnel actions by the Team Bush loyals in the executive Department. See www.usdoj.gov/oig/special. These reports are a proof of the republican government reeked with influence peddling and power brokering. Meehan belongs to the same party which is swollen by endless false promises, swollen by taking of tasks for which it has no competence or authority, and swollen by its own arrogance and eternal meddling.
Mr. Patrick Meehan himself was involved in the hiring of his political lap dogs. Without any authority, he illegally appointed Mr. James Pavlock as Special AUSA for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Mr. Pavlock, who had no previous litigation experience, and with resume that has more embroidery than substance and a style that has more bluff than experience, claimed himself to be 'Senior Trial Attorney' in the court filings. Unauthorized prosecutors like Pavlock are a cesspool of greed, a disgusting pattern of moral corruption, and a pathetic, disgusting example of greed run amok.
Pavlock was a leader in the snarling pack chasing unauthorized prosecutions. Pavlock abused his position by executing sham subpoenas, illegal wiretaps and suborning perjury in the court proceedings. In doing so, he pushed the governing authority beyond the law and the constitution. Pavlock was a wonderful manipulator, with illogical, inconsistent and contradictory arguments, often equivalent to cow flatulence. But, Mr. Meehan ensured that before he resigned from the office, James Pavlock is given a permanent AUSA position.
Mr. Meehan did not stop his hiring of AUSA's. He ensured that his long time friend, and former prosecutor, Paul S. Diamond is appointed as a Federal District Judge. Paul Diamond, who has a gift for straightforward deviousness, is a right-wing zealot on the bench posing a danger of using the imprimatur of the law to exorcise his devils. Paul Diamond's judging is now motivated by opportunism, careerism and a need to please those in power. For this very reason, Mr. Meehan pushed his buddy's name to be promoted as a Third Circuit Judge, despite dozens of senior and more qualified Judges in the District Court. Mr. Meehan also ensured that the entire administration of the federal courts- clerks, deputies and case managers - are gerrymendered so that the courts can become a backyard for his political philosophy.
But Mr. Meehan promises that he will 'change' the ways of the government. How convenient...! How hypocritical...!!

P.S.: Meehan's FEC records also reveal that he is circumventing the Federal Election Laws by receiving multiple donations of $2400 from same persons or groups.

Dear sir,
SUBJECT: Patrick Meehan: Another one of G.W.Bush Stooge runs for election!!
Former United States Attorney, Patrick Meehan, announced his candidacy of the Congressional seat in the 7th district of Pennsylvania. In his announcement speech, he vowed to 'begin to restore this country.'
This height of hypocrisy comes from a person who thoroughly abused his position as a United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. For a man who claims to 'restore integrity to our nation's capital' and having a set of 'guiding principles: faith integrity ... and accountability,' he has made unauthorized appointments to his interloper friends as Special Assistant U.S. Attorneys (SAUSA's).
It is for the public to decide that these appointment(s) were an attempt by Meehan to curb nation's growing unemployment problem or another Blagojevich bazaar for government positions.** Meehan and his subordinates also fully abused the provisions of USA PATRIOT ACT to gather information in all kinds of normal, non-terrorist investigations. When requested to disclose the copies of these subpoenas, the prosecutors rightfully claimed the 'state secret' privileges. (Documentary proof will
be mailed if you send your name and mailing address to perfectinjustice.bansal@gmail.com).
Meehan's rhetoric also includes talks about 'fighting the big spending ways' and 'unchecked spending' by the Federal Government. While, as a U.S. Attorney, he was providing first class airfares to his Assistant U.S. Attorneys and federal agents to travel around the world; a practice forbidden by the Department of Justice policies. Let's not forget that this former law enforcement officer was also involved in gathering his campaign money through a personal fund raising event with the aid of Acting
United States Attorney, Ms. Laurie Magid, and dozens of federal prosecutors; in violation of the Federal Hatch Act. Ms. Magid was investigated by the Office of Inspector General and promptly removed from the office. Meehan also has an on-going love affair with the pharmaceutical companies. The FEC records would show that majority of Meehan's campaign finance is funded by them. Meehan has proved his loyalty
to them by commencing sham prosecutions against any businesses which the pharmaceutical companies deem as adverse to their interests.
The public should be informed the truth about this self-righteous, masquerading maverick, who is nothing but a Team Bush old puppet with new strings.

** Blagojevich at least had the valid requisite authority to make a senate appointment.
