Mr. XXX, Esq., Chief Counsel House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct HT-2, The Capitol U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515
July 15, 2004
Dear Mr. XXX,
Pursuant to Rule 15 of the Rules of the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, the following letter constitutes a proper Ethics Complaint against my Representative in the House, Carolyn B. Maloney of New York.
Rule 15(a)(1): Name and Legal Address of Party Filing Complaint
XXX XXX XXX
Rule 15(a)(2): Name and title of respondent
Carolyn B. Maloney, Member U.S. House of Representatives
Rule 15(a)(3): Nature of Alleged Ethics Violation
1) Representative Maloney committed fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1018 by “knowingly mak[ing] and deliver[ing] as true” a writing containing knowingly false statements to the Secretary General of the United Nations, in her capacity of an officer of the United States, in an attempt to secure a contingent of U.N. election observers to monitor the 2004 elections, a violation of our national sovereignty.
2) Representative Maloney committed fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001(a) and 1001(c)(1) by knowingly and willfully making and using a false writing which knowingly contained false, fictitious, and fraudulent statements to procure services from the United Nations, i.e. said letter to the U.N.
3) In signing her name to said letter, Representative Maloney violated House Rule XXIII by failing to conduct herself in a manner that reflects creditably on the House.
Rule 15(a)(4): Facts that give rise to the above violations
In a letter to Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations, dated June 30, 2004, Representative Maloney knowingly and falsely alleged U.N. observers were necessary to ensure a free and fair election due to, inter alia, a massive disenfranchisement and intimidation of African-American voters, and other minorities, in the 2000 Elections. These premises are demonstrably false. As Peter Kirsanow, member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, has reiterated in a letter to the New York Post, dated July 15, 2004:
The six-month investigation of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights found absolutely no evidence of systematic disenfranchisement of black voters. The investigation by the Civil Rights Division of the Department also found no credible evidence that any Floridians were intentionally denied the right to vote in the 2000 election. . . . In fact, Florida 2000 was not a startling anomaly. Ballot-spoilage rates across the country range between 2-3 percent of total ballots cast. Florida’s rate in 2000 was 3 percent [not outside the normal range of ballot-spoilage].
Using selective and misleading quotes from a thoroughly discredited 2001 report of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, Representative Maloney creates the false impression of the veracity of the fictitious premises listed above. Further, Representative Maloney made and used this false and misleading writing in the hopes that the United Nations would, in reliance on these material falsehoods, send U.N. observers to our polls on Election Day. These enumerated frauds are clear violations of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1018 and 1001.
Further, in her letter to the U.N., Representative Maloney asserts that the 2000 Presidential Election was “finally determined by the Supreme Court which prevented further counting of the votes.” This statement is demonstrably false and is intended to create the false impression that President Bush was not the legitimate winner in Florida in 2000. This is a myth perpetuated for the sole purpose of creating minority resentment against the Bush administration and racial unrest. Such blatant race-baiting by Representative Maloney is hardly conduct that reflects creditably on the House.
In fact, every single vote count, including those by a media consortium using the Gore standard, unequivocally establish that President Bush won Florida. To merely insinuate otherwise is a blatant lie.
Conclusion
As Representative Maloney has behaved in an unacceptable, unethical manner – violating 18 U.S.C. §§ 1018, 1001, and House Rule XXIII – Representative Maloney must be formally admonished, or expelled, by/from the House of Representatives and the House Committee must refer her violations of federal law to the Department of Justice for further action.
Sincerely,
XXX

"...fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001(a) and 1001(c)(1) by knowingly and willfully making and using a false writing which knowingly contained to procure services from the United Nations, i.e. said letter to the U.N."
Is it fraud if the person making the statement(s) beleives them to be 'true' at the time they are made? Or, is the definition more broad in that the fraud can occur if a third party (you/me) find her statements to be false, fictitious, and fraudulent statements ?
I'm not a lawyer (phew) but find the second instance much too broad to be enforceble. If the third party claims a statement made is 'false, fictitious' - then fraud can be claimed by almost anyone anytime. I would think the party making the statement would have to 'know' what was being said was/is false for fraud to take place.
If a dimwit felt that GWB made a fraudulent statement (16 words in SOTU speech, Iraq) would he then be liable for being charged with fraud, etics charge, or even impeachment?
Oh no, if this is true, this will grow legs.
I think the Republicans had enough of liberal obstructionism. This election is a biggy and it the Republicans have drawn a line in the sand.
Democrats that are not left leaning take heed.
Maybe I do not remember right, but I vaguely remember some female demon rat running for congress on a gun control platform. Could this be the one?
Like that differentiates any female Dem Congressional candidates :^)
Dude, who filed this?
Prosecution to the extent of federal law by justice is fesable if enough us contact our legislators to make it happen.
CB,
I'm aware of that detail, and it has been handled :)
Yes... Maloney is the one.
I hope rep baloney gets whats coming to her. Another disgrace of congress.
Carolyn McCarthy
"I am a Lifelong registered Republican........"
Or as I asked her once when she was a guest on WABC 770am NYC:
"May I call you Carolyn....."
[always works!]
Just before I did my patented smoothie fact dump on her and made her nervously admit she knew zip about firearms and her nutcase statements -
She quickly ended her call to WABC; that was her last conservation with a "caller" that day!
Maloney is just another lying radical NY freak
......it's a jungle out there
