“Exculpatory Evidence: Sworn Affidavit of Another Witness Pressured to Lie in the Case Against Congressman James Traficant of Ohio.
“Miscarriage of Justice Against Former Congressman James Traficant, Part 1. William Wallace, May, 2006.
“A. Overview As a result of the Department of Justice’s (”DOJ”) flagrant and obvious program of lies, perjury and manufactured false “evidence” against former Congressman Jim Traficant (”Traficant”), many people have asked how they can help to correct this miscarriage of justice.
“The opportunity is now. The method includes the Internet and the national talk radio shows that expose government corruption, e.g., The Drudge Report, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, G. Gordon Liddy, Oliver North and Greta Von Susteren at Fox News.
“Traficant stood for the people. He was a major threat to the shadow government which runs the DOJ and the Internal Revenue Service (”IRS”) and had to be discredited and taken out before his citizen friendly bills, which included an overhaul of the DOJ, could be passed.
“This report will be limited to prosecutorial misconduct to “bribe witnesses for testimony,” which under “treaty-standards” set by the Supreme Court in Missouri v. Holland, (1920) 252 US 416, rose to “acts of corruption” that violated the 1996 Inter-American Convention Against Corruption (”Corruption Convention”), 35 I.L.M. 724. This self-executing treaty bound all Federal officers, including prosecutors, to their terms. Executive Order (”E.O.”) 13107 commanded their compliance, as this treaty made the offering or accepting of “a thing of value for testimony” a crime under the anti-bribery and graft statutes. (See 18 U.S.C. ” 201(c)(2) to 224)
“The prosecutor, Assistant United States Attorney (”AUSA”) Craig Morford was proscribed from pressuring, intimidating and bribing witnesses for false testimony which also violated the obstruction of justice and witness-tampering statutes that served the Corruption Convention. (See 18 U.S.C. ” 1503, 1512)
“To support and prove Traficant’s allegations, he has audio tapes and affidavits available on almost all witnesses against him, all affirming they were coerced and intimidated to lie against him under extreme duress from the DOJ. Traficant demonstrated uncanny insight into preserving his evidence by placing it in the Congressional Record during the months of May, June, July and August 2002. It is waiting for investigators to dig out and prove this miscarriage of justice. “
