I do not agree >with you when you say that it is "essential" that I sign your >proposed Settlement Agreement by Friday noon. Since I have not >even read it, I am not in any position to cite provisions which >justify such haste. Your "deadline" is artificial and contrived, >at best. > >You are wrong to conclude that I am not serious about resolving >our "dispute" amicably. On the contrary, I have already gone way >out of my way to explain our situation, and to take steps to >ensure that your position is also recognized. If what you say is >true (and it is not true), I would not have taken the initiative >to begin editing our huge database in honor of your request. > >I fail to see where such excessive pressure tactics are going to >get you what you want, unless there is, indeed, some real hidden >agenda to your intentions. > >What are your true and complete intentions, Mr. Long? > >Is it the original Thirteenth Amendment? > >Is it the all important difference between the USDC and the DCUS? > >Are you, in fact, colluding with staff of the federal judiciary >in Phoenix and/or Tucson, and with the Pima County Attorneys >office in Tucson, to impede, halt, obstruct, or compromise the >services we are obligated to deliver to our clients? > >If you are, then you may be putting yourself in a position of >liability for obstructing justice. But, as a licensed attorney, >I should not need to be telling you these things, should I? > >I can honestly say to you that I have already made major >commitments to more than one client, to complete their work as >soon as possible, and hopefully before Friday. In light of their >paramount needs, I worked all weekend on the editing which I have >already described to you. This good faith on my part is, >evidently, not enough for you. This saddens me deeply. > >If you persist in pressuring me in the way that you have today, I >would have to regard such pressure as an attempt by you >deliberately to impede the delivery of essential professional >services to clients who are facing imminent incarceration, by the >same hostile federal judiciary with which you appear to be >colluding and conspiring. Is this only an appearance, Mr. Long, >or are you in fact colluding with the offices of Mr. Richard H. >Weare in Phoenix and Tucson, and with the office of the Pima >County Attorney in Tucson? > >You do not have any right to impair the obligations of my prior >contracts, in particular because all licensed attorneys, as >officers of the courts in which they are admitted to practice, >must be able to demonstrate that they have taken an oath to >support the U.S. Constitution. Have you? I have no contract >with you or Phoenix Newspapers, Inc., verbal or written, at this >point in time; and, furthermore, if you do not immediately begin >to demonstrate at least a gram of professional consideration for >my prior commitments and obligations, I will take your refusal in >this regard as seriously as possible. > >My clients have a fundamental Right to counsel of their choice, >under the Sixth Amendment, and you now given me cause to conclude >that you are more than willing to interfere with my priorities >and obligations to these clients. This is a violation of their >fundamental right to effective assistance of Counsel and, as >such, it constitutes probable cause to charge you with violating >18 U.S.C. 242 -- deprivation of fundamental Rights under color of >law -- and possibly also 18 U.S.C. 241 -- conspiracy to deprive >fundamental Rights. This is a fair gentleman's warning to you, >Mr. Long. > >Since you have failed to demonstrate any specific reason why your >artificial deadline warrants a total upheaval in my crowded and >pressing schedule, I must politely demand hereby that you >immediately cease and desist any further pressure tactics. I >think you know exactly what I am talking about here. > >If you do not understand exactly what I am talking about here, >please advise in writing, and I will elaborate in excruciating >detail, but only after my other pressing obligations are met, in >a timely and professional manner. > >I will look forward to your immediate cooperation in this regard. >Please fax me evidence of your oath of office, no later than noon >on Friday next (August 22, 1997). If you do not, I will proceed >on the basis of probable cause that you are not who you say you >are, and that you fully intend to continue, and foster, a program >of intentional harassment, misrepresentation, and retaliation >against a known federal witness, in deliberate and premeditated >violation of 18 U.S.C. 1512 and 1513.
