I never said the FBI.

You are right... you said "under investigation by the DOJ", not FBI. My mistake.

I haven't been back to look at the file today, Why don't YOU try to find it? :-)

Without knowing what one is looking for, that is literally impossible. You are the one who said it, I assumed you would back it up.

Did you take away from that, that I was going to go looking for the files IMMEDIATELY? Where did I say that?

No, but since you found them, I assumed you would keep your word.

First, thank you for the directions to the subject "pdf file."

After reading it, and doing some research, here's my summary of the subject at hand. On October 12, 2005, Whackjob (aka "relator" or whistleblower) from Missouri files lawsuit against a party (NOT DHunter) under the Civil False Claims Act, aka Lincoln's Law, the Informer's Act, or the Qui Tam Statute, trying to cash in on the DCunningscam debacle (and of course, he tries to drag a bunch of other names through the mud as well--including DH).

Under the Qui Tam Statute, a relator sues on behalf of the government and is entitled to a bounty, normally somewhere between 15-30% of the government's total recovery (due to overbilling, etc.). After the relator files a complaint, by law all documents are automatically sealed by the court to allow the Government to evaluate the allegations to determine whether they want to intervene in the case (meaning, if they find there is merit in the case and believe the government was overcharged or defrauded, they will join in the suit to recover $$$). Note, this is a Civil action, not a criminal action. If the Government finds criminal wrongdoing, they would take an alternative course of action against the party (No need for Whackjob in that).

In January 2006, the ambulance-chasing attorney for the relator decided he didn't want to have anything to do with the case and quit. On March 17, 2006, the Government decides they don't want to have anything to do with the case either and files a Notice of Election to Decline Intervention. On March 20, 2006, given the Government's decision to not intervene, the Court automatically unseals documents in accordance with law. So what does Whackjob do? Whackjob sets up a website posting the Complaint but fails to mention the Government saw no merit in the claim. Instead, Whackjob sends out a press release claiming that the unsealing of the document is a grand surprise and that the Government has been investigating the case for months, failing to acknowledge that they were trying to find any support for Whackjob's allegations and came up empty. It got worse for Whackjob. On June 5, 2006, the defendant filed a motion to dismiss and shortly thereafter the Government indicated they did not oppose dismissal. On July 25, 2006, the Judge dismissed case. To date, Whackjob has not changed his website to acknowledge that his case was thrown out, instead he claims grand conspiracies and is touting a soon-to-be-released new book about the "cover-up."

Oh, one more thing. I suggest Whackjob find an honest way to make a living. I mean, filing bankruptcy after failing in attempts to defraud the bank and the SBA, and chasing Qui Tam bounties, is a pretty sad existence.

As to FR Postings, I hope you will pass this on to anyone else who thinks there is something to the subject at hand.
