Dear GJT Clients,
So, your mail to the grand jury evidently
never made it. When the green USPS Domestic
Return Receipt is returned, it bears the
signature of one "Katy Higgins," who is
the judge's secretary. This is probable
cause for you to believe that your mail
was obstructed, a felony violation of
federal law. This is all the reason you
need to refuse to appear, because there
is probably also jury tampering happening too.
You request the USPS to trace the chain
of possession, because you paid for this
service when you sent it Registered U.S. Mail.
But, they respond by saying that they had
a novice route carrier delivering Registered
U.S. Mail that day (which sounds like a lie,
because they never give Registered Mail to
novice route carriers).
Five days later, the Assistant U.S. Attorney,
Robert L. Miskell (hereinafter "Miskell")
applies to the U.S. District Court for an
Order to the company to show cause why
they did not appear, as requested by the
grand jury subpoena.
Two days later, U.S. District Judge John M.
Roll issues the Order to Show Cause ("OSC"),
but it is served on the company, and not on
any particular individual in the company.
So, to bolster your defense for failing to
"appear," you initiate a second tracer to
the USPS, to see if they can determine
any more important details about the fate
of your Registered Mail.
On the very same day the second tracer returns,
Miskell files a Supplement to his original
application for OSC. It appears that Miskell
then knew he had a problem, because the second
postal investigator probably came around, and
Miskell was probably holding the mail in
question. So, Miskell lies, subtly, in his
Supplement. [This has been documented for you
in the brief Chronology of Events which was
broadcasted earlier.]
Miskell admits, on record, that he received
mail postmarked March 21, 1996 and addressed
to the grand jury foreperson, but he alleges
that he received this mail on April 18, 1996!
Remember, that on April 10, 1996, Miskell told
the court that he did not receive any communication
from the company explaining their failure to appear.
He would have us believe that the Registered Mail
was delivered to him on April 18, when it was
originally postmarked March 21? Not likely.
It is much more likely that a second visit from
a postal investigator suddenly made Miskell realize
that he now had a VERY BIG problem to explain away,
and he does a very poor job of it.
So, what do you do now, in order to prepare for
a hearing where you have been ordered to appear
and show cause why your company should not be
held in contempt of court for failing to appear
and testify before a federal grand jury?
What are you thoughts at this point in time?
What do you do for your client -- the company --
which has now been ordered to appear and show cause
why they should not be held in contempt?
The reason(s) why you should not be held in contempt
should be fairly obvious, yes?
