WHERE IT STARTED FBI
February 18, 2014 - F Bl cautions residents of public corruption in Va. - http://www.wusa9.com/storv/news/local/2014/02/18/fbi-cautions-residents-of-public-corruption-in-northern-virqinia/5 585877/ WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- The Federal Bureau of!nvestigation's (FBI) Washington Field Office is looking to identify any public corruption occurring in Northern Virginia. The FBI says public corruption can occur "when a public official, at any level of government - local, state or federal - does any official act in exchange for money, or other free goods or services, fo r private gain. Public corruption could also include public employees who take something of value for th eir own personal gain, th ereby violating the public's trust." The FBI soys many of th eir investigations into public corruption start once they receive a tip from someone. If you want to help identify potential criminal activity, the Wa shington Field Office has set up a Northern Virginia Public Corruption Hotline at 703-686-6225 and you can also e-mail th em at [email protected]. Some of the examples of corruption include:
Government officials such as OMV employees, city inspectors, taxing or zoning assessors or other regulatory agency employees, or even town councils or mayors; Contracting officials at al/ levels, including those who manage government contracts or regulatory permits; or, school resource officers who manage school accounts; Local officials colluding with real estate investors to rig th e bidding process at foreclosure auctions; A person representing the iudicia/ branch - a iudge, member of the iury or court personnel; or, A person representing law enforcement, who steals drugs from criminals, embezzles government funds, falsifies records or smuggles contraband

JW Grenadier aka Janice Wolk Grenadier Sunday, January 5, 2014 Janice Wolk Grenadier supports the Anti Christs Obama and Hillary Clinton Not only is Janice Wolk Grenadier a traitor to the American people by being a card carrying Commie Pinko but she is also supporting the Anti Christs Obama and Hillary Clinton. Yes we said it here, Anti Christs meaning plural. Why is Janice doing this? Because they are not only going to Jet her keep her hairy vag but they are going to give her the chance to grow a penis as well. Well penises. Yes, Janice Wolk Grenadier will have 6 penises all over her body including one over her vagina. The other 5 will be as so: one in the palm of each hand, one on the bootom of each foot and one right where a tramp stamp would be on her back. That way when Janice Wolk Grenadier dies, she can go to Allah's heaven and have her 72 virgins. These 72 virgins will be a mix of males and females that she can rape with all of her penises and then the next morning at sun up they become virgins again. We have figured it out that the fetal body of little Joshua that Janice keeps in the basement of her home is going to be the vessel for the Dark lord Satan himself to resurrect in a human body to carry out the apocolypse. That way, Janie Wolk Grenadier is guaranteed her 6 penises. Proof she supports the Anti Christ is in her letters she has posted and her other posts of Hillary's and Obama's support defending both on everything Loretta lax Miller fought against including the ObamaCare and Islamic Terrorism which Obama and Hillary support. Janice is for the destruction of the Catholic Church's values of having Nuns despense birthcontroll pills. Janice supports this by supporting Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Husein Obama. Everything Obama stands for is to destroy American Family Values and Janice has no values and worships Satan. We at Muggy Cat take the religious stand that Janice is the Anti Christ and does not beleive in God and the wonders God has done on this Earth. Maybe Janice should move to sin city Las Vegas and sell her soul as well as her /ugly body on the strip since she is whoring for Satan. 7 Document ID: 0.7.5411.5788-000002 20201221-0000010 We hope that you join us on Friday, January 10th, 2014 outside of Janice Wolk Grenadier's house to protest her anti-American pro-Satan values.

The Judge is in jail and using any type of excuse ie technical error to try and get out of jail. That Chief Justice John Roberts of the Supreme Court of the United States of America stated: 'My job is to call balls and strikes and not to pitch or bat' Judges and justices are servants of th e law, not the oth er way around. Judges are like umpires. Umpires don't make the rules; they apply them. The role ofan umpire and a iudge is critical. They make sure everybody plays by the rules. But it is a limited role. No body ever went to a ball game to see th e umpire. Judges have to have the humility to recognize that th ey operate within a system of precedent, shaped by oth er judges equally striving to live up to th e judicial oath. And judges have to have th e modesty to be open in th e decisional pro cess to the considered views of their colleagues on the bench.

He had become concerned with the plight of litigants who represented themselves in civil cases, often filing handwritten appeals. Their grievances were real, he said, but the legal system was treating them impatiently, dismissing their cases over technical matters. "These were almost always people of poor education and often of quite low level of intelligence," he said. "I gradually began to realize that this wasn't right, what we were doing." In the Seventh C ircuit• .Judge Posner said, staff lawyers rath er than judges assessed appeals from such litigants, and the court genera lly rubber-stamped th e lawyers' recommendations. Judge Posner offered to help. "I wanted to review all the staff attorney memos before they went to th e panel ofjudges," he said. "l 'd sit down with the staff attorney, go over his memo. I'd make whatever editorial suggestions - or editorial commands - that I thought necessary. It would be good education for staff attorneys, and it would be very good" fo r the litigants without lawyers. "I had th e approval o( th e director of th e staff attorney program ," Judge Posner said, "but the judges, my colleagues, all 11 of them, turned it down and refused to give me any s ignificant role. I was very frustrated by that." Judge Posner further stated about those who need help and or prose: "The basic thing is that mo.st iudge.s regard these people (prose) as kind of trash not worth the time o{a federal iudge" The appearance all Justice is by a Social HIERARCHY, and only for the friends or those that have the CA$H I MONEY can get Justice - I could go on page after page of stories of Corru ption by the JUDGES supported by those around them. This one X-WIFE of the Son of a Judge Plaintiff JANICE WOLK GRENADIER STATES: "NO MORE" We the American People are not TRASH as Judge Posner expressed that is what we are d1inking of. JANICE WOLK GRENADIER Intervener Janice Wolk Grenadier (JWG) seeks reli ef fo r the violation of State and Federal Consti tutional Ri ghts, Federal Co nstituti onal ri ghts under Title 42 U.S Code § 1981 &1983, Title L8 U.S. Co de§ 241 & 242, Rico and Rac keteer In fluenced and Co rrup t Organization Act 18 U.S.C § 1961 - 1968 and under the Bill of Rights the Four Basic Freedoms a re being Violated: 1.

Thepetitiontointervenewas filedonOnMarch8,2017basedontimestampprothontarywebsite,byChristina Hausner. OnMarch17,2017JudgeMillerissuedanorderwhichmadefinalthe theftofMr.Cutler’sassets.

AllofMr.Cutler’ assestshavebeen destroyedorstolen,despite2insurancepolicies. SUMMARYOFTHEARGUMENT ThesoleissuesonappealarethereasonablenessofJeffreyCutler’ssentence thatincludedavery rare documentedfraudbypublic officials, andifajudge can blatantly ignore the constitution. Mr. Cutler submits that the above-the-range sentenceissubstantivelyunreasonablebasedonthetotalityofthecircumstances. The sentence is aresultofcriminalactivityand discriminationbythe state.

Worse, datafrom the Sentencing Commission conclusively shows that upward variances are extraordinarily rare, but not in Lancaster County Pennsylvania. The sentence faciallycreated adisparity, one thatwas notwarrantedunderthe facts specific to Mr. Cutler and this case. Aprevious case in East Lampeter Township ofLisa Michelle Lambert was significantly tainted based on the federal judge Stewart Dalzell. Inshort, the final sentence was fargreaterthan necessaryto address the statutory goals ofsentencing, since it was based on perjured testimony in both cases. LEGALARGUMENT I. THE SENTENCE IMPOSED BY THE COURT, WHICH INCLUDED AN EXTREMELY RARE SIEZURE AND UPWARD VARIANCE, WAS FAR GREATER THAN NECESSARY TO SATISFY THE RELEVANT SENTENCING GOALS SET FORTH IN 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) ANDWASTHEREFOREUNREASONABLE.

Final sentences are reviewedforreasonableness underthe abuse-of-discretion standard. Gall v. United , States 552 U.S. 38, 46 (2007). Mr. Cutlerpreservedthisissuebyobjectingtothegovernment’srequestforanupward variance, while simultaneously advocating for vacating the sentence below the guidelinerange. B. Argument Mr. Cutler respectfully challenges the reasonableness ofhis above-the-range sentence.Thesubstantivereasonablenessreviewfocusesonwhetheritwasreasonable forthestatecourttoconclude,inlightofalloftherelevantsentencingfactors,thatthe sentenceimposedwasminimallysufficienttocomplythesentencinggoalssetforthin 18 U.S.C. 3553(a). As the Courtexplainedin United States v., Doe“[s]ubstantive reasonablenessinquiresinto‘whetherthefinalsentence,whereveritmayliewithin the permissible statutory range, was premised upon appropriate and judicious consideration ofthe relevant factors.’” 617 F.3d 766, 769 cert. (3d Cir. 2010), denied, 564U.S.1005(2011),(citing United States v. Schweitzer,454F.3d197,204 (3d Cir. 2006)). Mr. Cutler maintains that in light ofthe facts and circumstances particular to his case, that his sentence, which included an upward variance, was plainlyunreasonableanddidnotcomplywiththe“overarchinginstructiontocourts that they must ‘impose a sentence sufficient, but not greater than necessary,’ to achieve the goals ofsentencing,” Kimbrough v. United , States 552 U.S. 85, 101 (2007). -Page 20 Document ID: 0.7.5411.7142-000001 20201221-0020607 Whenimposingafinalsentence,acourtmustconsiderallofthegoalsandfactors setforthin18U.S.C. §3553(a)(2),whichare: (A)toreflecttheseriousnessoftheoffense,topromoterespectforthelaw, andtoprovidejustpunishmentfortheoffense; (B)toaffordadequatedeterrencetocriminalconduct; (C)toprotectthepublicfromfuturecrimeofthedefendant;and (D)toprovidethedefendantwithneedededucationalorvocationaltraining, medicalcare,orothercorrectionaltreatmentinthemosteffective manner. Additionally,thecourtmustconsiderthenatureandcircumstancesoftheoffense,the historyandcharacteristicsofthedefendant,thekindsofsentencesavailable,the guidelinerange,andtheneedtoavoidunwarranteddisparitiesinsentencing. See 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(1)-(7). On appeal, as he did at sentencing, Mr. Cutler submits that these factors notonlyweighed againstanupwardvariance, theyactuallysupportedhis requestforcompletelyvacatingaverdictbasedonperjuredtestimony. 1. Theguideline rangeremains astrong startingpointforanysentence. Sentences outside therange mustbe justifiedbytherecord. Acorrectlycalculatedguidelinerangeremainsthe“startingpointfortheentirety ofthe§3553(a)analysis.” United States v. Langford,516F.3d205,211 (3dCir.2008).

Thereisnoquestionshesuccessfullyestablishedherselfasahardworking,person. Moreover, the court’s disregard for human life should warrant a full dismissal of all chargesagainstLisaMichelleLambert,Mr.CutlerandJammalHarris. Because a defendant disagrees with the manner in which a court weighs the sentencing factors. United States v. ,Bunger 478 F.3d540, 546 (3d Cir. 2007) (“Nordo we find thata district court’s failure to give mitigating factors the weight a defendant contends they deserve renders the sentence unreasonable.”) However, post-offense rehabilitation, and how it relates to the history and circumstances ofthe defendant, is arguablyauniquefactorandanexceptiontothatpolicy. First, the Supreme Court has affirmatively stated the rehabilitation merits “great weight”andprovidesstrongsupportformorelenientsentences. Gall v. United,552 States U.S. 38, 59 (2007)(“The District Courtquite reasonablyattached great weightto Gall's self-motivated rehabilitation, which was undertaken not at the direction of, or under supervisionby, anycourt, butonhis owninitiative. Thisalso lends strongsupportto the conclusion that imprisonment was not necessary to deter Gall from engaging in future criminal conduct or to protect the public from his future criminal act.”) In fact,a defendant’s demonstrable efforts at rehabilitation are among the most important considerations in the whole sentencing analysis. Persuasively, as the Supreme Court observedin Pepper v. United , States -Page 24 Document ID: 0.7.5411.7142-000001 20201221-0020611 There is no question that the evidence ofPepper’s conduct since his initial sentencing constitutes acritical partofthe ‘history and characteristics’ ofa defendantthatCongressintendedsentencingcourtstoconsider. Pepper’spostsentencingconductalsoshedslightonthelikelihoodthathewill engageinfuturecriminalconduct,acentralfactordistrictcourtsmustassess when imposing sentence. As recognized by Pepper’s probation officer, Pepper’s steadyemployment, as well as his successfulcompletionofa500 - hour drug treatment program and his drug-free condition, also suggest a diminishedneedfor‘educationor‘vocationaltraining...orothertreatment.’ Finally,Pepper’sexemplarypostsentencingconductmaybetaken as the most accurate indicator ofhis ‘presentpurposes andtendencies andsignificantly to suggestthe periodofrestraintand the kindofdiscipline that oughtto be imposed upon him. Accordingly, evidence of Pepper’s postsentencing rehabilitation bears directly on the District Court’s overarching duty to ‘impose a sentence sufficient, but no greater than necessary’ to serve the purposesofsentencing.’ 562 U.S. 476, 492-3 (2011) (emphasis added). Lisa Michelle Lambert’s case is remarkably similar to Pepper’s case in the sense that both defendants made extensive efforts at rehabilitating themselves. In sum, the Supreme Court explicitly holds rehabilitative efforts are among the most important factors in the overall sentencing analysis, and corruption of public officials and religion should not weigh into these guidelines. There is areal threat here, that instead ofsending amessage to other individuals abouttherisksofreoffending,theupwardvarianceinthiscaseservesasadeterrentagainst running for public office, as those efforts were grossly undervalued by the sentencing court. The record simply does not support afinding that Mr. Cutler deserved any penalty and thatsentence. -Page 25 Document ID: 0.7.5411.7142-000001 20201221-0020612 4.

So when two FBI agents dispatched by special counsel Robert Mueller’s office pounded on her boyfriend’s door at 10 in the morning in April ofthis year, they woke her up. She stumbled downstairs and opened the door, her jaw dropping when they handed her a subpoena telling her she had to testifybefore a Washington grand jury in two weeks. Ford didn’t recognize the first agent, who was tall, bearded, and gruff. “He was like, ‘Ifyou don’t go, it’s not going to be good for you,’ kind ofthreatening,” she recalled. But she knew the other agent, Scott Halper. Back in August 2016, he’d taken her out for coffee in her native Defiance, Ohio, to talk about the unusual way she was using Twitter. He was friendly enough at the time he just wanted to chat about a Twitter account she’d registered that June with the username @Guccifer2. She’d created the account as something between a joke and an experiment a riffoffthe hacktivist persona Guccifer 2.0, who at the time was slowly releasing files stolen from the Democratic National Committee. It would be months before the US government would publicly identifyGuccifer 2.0 as a front for Russia’s GRU military intelligence agency, the same group that now stands accused of hacking into the DNCand taking the emails. But during her first meeting with Halper, she never felt like she was being investigated. Halper had even told her she should consider joining the bureau. “I do think it’s kind offunny, because ifanybody’s going to walk into an international hacking incident and have no clue about it, it would be me for sure,” Ford told BuzzFeed News. But it apparently wasn’t funny to Mueller, who is tasked with finding crimes tied to foreign influence on the 2016 election, no matter what they may be. At the time Mueller subpoenaed Ford, he was three months away from charging 12 GRU officers, accusing them ofa host ofcrimes related to the DNChack and leak.

FACTS PERTAINING TO MR. MUELLER’S GRAND JURIES 30. Mr. Mueller has since convened twogrand juries which have been functioning r fo many months as the “legal heart” and basefo operatioo ns fthe Mueller Investigatio n. 31. Mr. Mueller nvenedco a seco nd grand jury in fthe Co District o lumbia after already nveningco a grand jury in the Easternf Virginia District at o Alexandria, Virginia.

In the article, the reporters chronicle that the Trumadm p inistration and Trump's private lawyers would not com ent m on the m os em or the story at all, indicating that they were not the source ofthe leaks. Mr. Mueller's office leaked the emand m os inform ation. Special counsel Robert S.

Mueller’s interest in the aides, including trusted adviser Hope Hicks, former press secretary Sean Spicer and former chief of staff Reince Priebus, reflects how the probe that has dogged Trump’s presidency is starting to penetrate a closer circle ofaides aroundthe president. Carol D. Leonnig, Rosalind S. Helderman and Ashley Parker, "Mueller gives White House names of 6 aides he expects to question The in Washington Russia probe," , Post September 8, 2017, accessible https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/spicer at: - priebus-hicks-among-six-current-and-former-trump-aides-mueller-has-expressed-interest- in-interviewing-for-russia-probe/2017/09/08/3b32779e-949a-11e7-aace- 04b862b2b3f3 story.html? Furthermore, Mr. Mueller convened a second grand jury in the District of Columbia after already convening a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia at Alexandria, Virginia. Because jurors are drawn from voter rolls, and Donald Trump received only 4.1% ofthe vote in the District ofColumbia for president on November 8, 2016, Mr. Mueller's efforts at juror shopping are not only unethical butfail to provide the public an assurance ofthe appearance ofintegrityin these proceedings. The grandjuryin Virginia would have had all the authority necessary to consider evidence across the river in Washington, D.C. Furthermore, Donald Trump's campaign was headquartered in Manhattan in New York City, New York. Therefore, there is no valid reason for an investigation of the 2016 presidential campaign to be sited in Washington, D.C. The appearance is that the grand jury convened in Virginia was skeptical of Mr. Mueller's presentations andMr. Mueller sought adifferentgroup ofgrandjurors. Mr. Mueller was appointed because Attorney General Jeff Sessions needlessly recusedhimselffrom overseeing an investigation into afanciful theory that we now know was invented by the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign in their deliberations within 24 Document ID: 0.7.5411.6578-000002 20201221-0050686 Case 1:17 cv 02459 ABJ Document 1 1 Filed 11/15/17 Page17 of 32 Ethics Investigation Request: Robert Mueller Page | 17 hours of suffering an unexpected loss in the November 8, 2016 presidential paign. cam 1 Out ofan abundance ofcaution, Sessions bent over backwards to avoid even the slightest appearance ofbias or conflict ofinterest and recused himself . Thus, Mr. Mueller was appointed as Special Counsel to uphold the highest standards of integrity and avoid even a hint of any im propriety in an investigation ofa theory that there might have been somcollusione between the presidential cam paign of Donald Trump and the Russian Federation. Because the theory has been discredited, the damage of continuing leaks tothe reputation of innocent persons is especially harmful. The m ore the m yth of collusion between Russia and Trumthe p presidential paign cam unravels, ore the m the flow of leaks accelerates each day.

Ofcourse Russia and China persistently try to hack government and private computer networks in the U.S.A. However, forensic investigation now reveals that Clinton campaign em ails from the Dem ocrat National Com ittee m were copied at extraordinarily high speech (impossible over an internet connection) on to a thum b drive physically plugged into the DNC's computer system . "On the evening ofJuly 5, 2016, 1,976 megabytes ofdata were downloaded from the DNC’s server. The operation took 87 seconds. This yields a transfer rate of22.7 megabytes per second.
