A federal judge has recommended that James Madison University pay nearly $850,000 in damages to an anonymous student who says the school punished him for a rape he didn’t commit, using a secretive process that didn’t allow him to confront witnesses or present evidence.
The complainant, John Doe, won his lawsuit against James Madison just before Christmas, according to The College Fix, when another federal court judge found that the school had violated his Constitutional right to due process when they gave him a five and a half year suspension based on a bizarre “double jeopardy” clause contained in a 2011 Obama Administration directive to institutions of higher education.
The “Dear Colleague” letter instructed schools to suspend the guarantee against double jeopardy if further evidence presented itself after a student had been cleared of a sexual assault. In Doe’s case, he was accused of rape by a female classmate and exonerated by a faculty panel.
Under the rules the Obama administration put out, a person
could accuse a student of rape with no evidence, and the accused would have their life ruined without due process. I believe some of that is happening with the #me too.
FBI Paid $100K+ For Concocted Trump Dossier During Election; John McCain Helped Broker Classified Deal With Comey https://t.co/m9rDEYoHI7— Thomas Paine (@Thomas1774Paine) February 7, 2018
Steele was likely paid in the $100,000 range by the FBI for the research. Perhaps even more.
Sen. John McCain was involved in brokering the introduction of Steele or Steele’s preliminary research to FBI bosses.
The FBI routinely pays third-party private Intel firms to gather evidence used to secure federal search warrants and arrest warrants, as well as FISA court warrants. The FBI does not vet the privately commissioned investigators, like Fusion GPS, who work “off the books” for the Bureau.
