Andy’s
letter to federal prosecutors follows; (the address “header” has been removed
from the letter):
Hon. Carter M. Stewart
with copy to:
Hon. Loretta Lynch
Attorney General
Department of Justice
Request for the Department
of Justice to prosecute Vandalia ,
Ohio
Dear Attorney Stewart and
General Lynch:
I am writing you to respectfully request that you impanel a
grand jury to seek the indictment of so-called Vandalia ,
Ohio Cleveland
next summer, as well as creating additional potential threats to Secret Service
agents and candidates.
1. My own role in the presidential campaign
I am a bona fide but “boutique” candidate for president in
the Republican Party. I do not expect to receive the nomination but I campaign
actively and am using my campaign as a public policy platform to influence
Republican Party doctrine. Later this week I hope to unveil a major new
campaign issue for the presidential campaign.
I was on the New Hampshire
ballot and I am seeking ballot access in other states.
I first went to Capitol Hill in the 89th Congress and I have
a long career as a corruption fighter, political reformer and activist, see
www.AndyMartin.com. I am campaigning with the previously-announced promise to
support the Republican Party’s nominee.
Nevertheless, my own activity and this letter are totally
independent of any other campaign. As a candidate myself I have a right to seek
action by your agency which protects all
federal candidates.
2. The media failure regarding the incident in Chicago
A. What took
place in Chicago
Moveon.org admits that it, local agitators and at least one
congressman acted, combined and conspired to stage a takeover of a Donald Trump
event to prevent Trump from speaking. That conspiracy constituted a federal
criminal offense, which I will detail in a letter similar to this one to the U.
S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois.
The Chicago riot
was not an innocent and spontaneous “demonstration” or “protest.” It was an
organized and orchestrated effort to silence the speech of a presidential
candidate, in a forum which his campaign had lawfully rented for the purpose of
speaking. The conspiracy to deny speech constituted a crime under longstanding
federal civil rights statutes.
The following day, March 12th a madman attacked Trump and
the Secret service in the Southern District of Ohio.
B. How the
media failed the American people
I was stunned
to hear, among many other media personalities, Greta VanSusteren say on Fox
News that the disrupters in Chicago
had a “right to protest.” The disrupters did not assemble in Chicago
to protest lawfully. By their own admission they assembled to prevent political speech. In
fact, President Obama’s old neighbor, Bill Ayers, bragged that he had helped
“shut down” the event, see generally https://twitter.com/WilliamAyers, https://twitter.com/ProgsToday.
The media persists in reporting that a “right to protest”
implies a right to enter and disrupt a political meeting. That is simply not
true. People have a right to protest outside an event, in carefully delineated
spaces if necessary to maintain public safety. No one has a right to enter a
political event with the intent to prevent speech from taking place. But that
is what Bill Ayers and his cohort admittedly intended to do in Chicago .
The failure of the media to properly report constitutional
law sends a very bad message to other disrupters, namely that they have a
“right to disrupt,” when in fact citizens only have a right to protest in a
lawful manner. The concept that a mob may enter a political event and storm the
speaker or platform is alien to either American law or our political history.
I wish the DOJ would also take action concerning the riot in
Chicago (in the ND Ill.) but I am
skeptical you will do so. However, I am absolutely certain that if you do
nothing, you are inviting anarchy and chaos in Cleveland
next summer beyond any protests we have ever seen before. I returned to Chicago
from Viet-Nam in 1968 on the first day of the Democratic National Convention.
2016 could end up making 1968 look like a picnic if you do nothing to stop the
anarchic internet “organizing” of Mr. Ayers, moveon.org and their
co-conspirators and they are not dissuaded from continuing their criminal
activity.
3. Tommy DiMassimo’s actions in Vandalia
A person identified as Tommy DiMassimo was interviewed by
CNN and essentially confessed to the commission of federal criminal acts
against federal officers and a federal candidate, Donald Trump.
According to his CNN confession, DiMassimo planned his
attack for months, was aware of a large Secret Service presence on March 12th,
arrived early to obtain a strategic position, and attacked when he saw an
opening to do so. Planning to assault, and assaulting a federal law enforcement
officer is a serious federal offense. The fact that DiMassimo claims he was
only trying to “seize the microphone” is not exculpatory.
4. The impact of the DiMassimo’s CNN “confession”
Mr. DiMassimo’s “confession” also reflected an irrational
ideation. For example, he claimed to have been exercising his “heckler’s veto,”
when in fact the meaning of the term “heckler’s veto” is the exact opposite of
what DiMassimo believes. The law is clearly established that there is no
“heckler’s veto.” On the contrary, DiMassimo confessed on TV to a planned,
carefully orchestrated scheme to storm a candidate’s platform and to cause a
situation that could have ended in tragedy. The fact that he was unsuccessful
is no basis not to prosecute him.
Failure to prosecute him will only embolden copycats and
imitators and other barely rational individuals. You can’t afford to take a chance
that prosecutorial “inaction” will be sufficient in the face of contrary
evidence.
5. The urgent need to take federal action
Mr. DiMassimo claims he did not want to injure Secret
Service agents or Mr. Trump. But in any violent confrontation, participants
lose control, and spectators are also endangered.
According to news reports local prosecutors have charged
DiMassimo with two misdemeanors. That is a totally inadequate law enforcement
response.
DiMassimo confessed on CNN that he planned his crime for
months, carefully orchestrated his strategic presence on March 12th near the
speaking platform and knowingly lunged at a platform protected by the Secret
Service. He admittedly knew Secret Service agents were present and he
intentionally and knowingly charged a position they were defending. That is the
essence of a federal criminal act.
Protection of federal candidates for office is primarily a
federal responsibility under the U. S. Code. Storming Secret Service agents,
which DiMassimo admits he knew were present, is a very serious federal offense.
You cannot allow the inadequate response of local prosecutors to be the last
word on this matter.
If the Department of Justice does not take this matter
seriously, as well as taking seriously the moveon.org episode in Chicago
seriously, you can expect that madmen and political extremists will stage many
more similar events, constantly endangering agents as well as the protectee.
The DiMassimo crime is truly a case where prosecutorial action will “nip in the
bud” any copycat attacks. Failure by federal prosecutors to treat DiMassimo’s
criminal conduct seriously and immediately endangers everyone, the candidate,
Secret Service agents and the public (please see links below).
6. Conclusion
You may be assured of my complete cooperation, if needed. I
am prepared to testify both as a candidate and based on my legal education and
experience as an expert witness.
Respectfully submitted,
Andy Martin
