Rod is
not a lawyer, also he uses citing tools and paraphrasing tools such as:
www.citationmachine.net/mla/cite-a-website and
www.rephrase.org/better-than-rephrase-generator so they might not be
perfect; either.
(1) Rod
will critique issue of Congress hearing for the next couple of days, 9/6/2018.
He heard a group of people that sounded inferior to understanding Twitter
tools, social media actual uses, and diminishing one of the greatest tools for

their constituents like an email. They actually want to run a business that
they lack understanding and lack innovation, they already have one, it is
called the government, with a twenty-one trillion-dollar debt. They stifle
American internet innovation just like their ideas bankrupted the American
government and now ask social media to abide by European laws with people
lacking the same creative innovation to invent as they do. World

This research paper is written on Criminal Law by Rod
Jackson. He read some of the text Criminal Law, Concepts and
Practice, Second Edition, Carolina Academic Press, Authored by Ellen
S. Podger, Peter J. Henning, Andrew E. Taslitz, and Alfredoo Garcia. (Podger,
Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia) First, Rod will list some defenses that may
prevent Prima Facia Cases, then he will write a little bit on some of these
topics: Ex Post Facto, The Mercy Rule, Conspiracy and what Government has to prove,
Strategy, Exclusion of [exculpatory] evidence as unconstitutional, Impeachment
of witness, law on Outrageous Government conduct, what it takes to prove a
case, hearsay evidence that usually won't make it to a competent court of law,
legal argument against scumbags testifying in front of Congress and reasons to
appeal to higher court, entrapment elements, a person with a history of false
testimony not testifying, examples of Mens Reus, Actus Reus, discovery in
criminal trials, Jurisdiction and venue, specific intent, that secret informant may be a bug, room tap, placed anywhere a
person goes in your business; sweeping the White House for taps each week, Planting Evidence and Criminal Framing a person is a
crime against that person by the Government vs Entrapment is unconstitutional
acts by the government, the Russian investigation was not bogus, it was
unconstitutional entrapment, coercion, framing, and impossibility as a defense
to committing a crime. Note. Rod has never taken a criminal law course in
College and has not read any law books at length before reading this text. So,
he probable ignorant on some of this stuff. For some people, to deny without
presenting an alternative explanation, is inferior in law or science, every
space has to occupy something, bogus, what in legal terms is it, if it isn’t
what is said, then explain what it is, this is called Defense.
This paper only skirts Criminal Law, and you can find much
more comprehensive answers at the following link to purchase this book, or
older or newer edition, by Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia book. Rod gives
it an excellent rating for the first time reading. (All High Schools should
require every student to take a criminal law course reading this book,
before graduating; it would be make more than likely a great impact on many
people lives forever; cut crime from unintentional mistakes
too: TinyURL.com/y97l4ncv
Qualifier, Rod: Expert in creating Twitter List, Website
Portals, and the functionality of Social Media in those Areas. Rod often writes
in third-person-self so it is he speaking when he uses "Rod" this or
that.
Rod will use the book: Criminal Law, Concepts and
Practice, Second Edition, Carolina Academic Press, Authored by Ellen S.
Podger, Peter J. Henning, Andrew E. Taslitz, and Alfredoo Garcia) (Podger,
Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia)
Expert Background: Rod has spent 16 years studding, taking related
courses, and building Website Portals. He joined Twitter in 2009 and took a
social media class at UNLV where he gained expertise in using, building and the
functionality of Twitter list. He started building Website platforms and
portals around 2003; so Rod was already advanced in Platform building before
joining Twitter. Twitter was just another platform made available to the public
to use. The folks at Twitter were very courteous and polite to Rod. So Rod made
Twitter list Great, but Twitter list did not make Rod. He was already great at
what he did. As Rod progressed with list over the years, Twitter made changes
so the product better suited what Rod was doing. Rod never had his accounts
suspended, never had any warnings against him creating list, he never was said
to have violated any abusive behavior policies, he attempted to stay within the
guidelines that they made visible available, and if did violated any, like he
said, he was never approached as a developer to be in error of them before he
decided to close all his Twitter accounts. Around 2016 before the election, Rod
posted several times that he would be retiring from social media, but he has
been dragged back into ever since. His plan debated whether to leave some list
up passive to run to eternity, or the life of the Company, unless format
changed or to close the list to not have to monitor them. His mind was made up
when he thought a person working with a network on Twitter were trying to frame
him with things put into his list beyond his control that he could not remove
that were not appropriate. He caught them. And just like that scumbag girl at
UNLV voice message he recorded tried to change his tax situation, and those at
the Veterans Hospital backdating a false fabricated document with lies working
with this network of individuals, Rod shut down all Twitter use and list before
they succeeded in damaging his long time work on Twitter. Anything said other
than that about Rod using Twitter, would be after the fact lies, and have to be
the scumbags that were trying to frame him, now working after the fact of him Closing
His Account and List at His Own Will. Rod was the King of Twitter at
developing new ideas and concepts building list and many people new that. In
his opinion, when he quit, it was a major loss to Twitter and their
users.
12/29/2018
Someone created a Twitter account called doctheshow / disorderly conduct; Rod
never had a Twitter account named @Doctheshow and someone put this in his
google search ranked pretty high for a closed twitter account; Rod has not used
Twitter since 2017 or so and they still trying to Frame Rod with false
information. Real scumbags creating fake news; yes done with malicious intent
to cause harm by at least two people; it did not get listed in high ranking
google search by itself. Please remove google people. And no, all those images
tagged as Doctheshow.com under "images google" are not tagged by Rod.
Rod does not tag, descriptive tag, nor 'Alt Tag', nor "Meta Tags"
images on the internet or his Websites; and he does not see most of them as
being related to doctheshow.com. Thanks. But, no thanks whoever tagged those
hundreds of images to make them show up. And some other fake news SEO ranked
high on google has twitter information on DOCTHESHOW.COM which @doctheshow was
never on Twitter; at least not an account I formed. It uses data from a
black_history account, which should have been around 4000 posts and not 47
posts, kind of mixing up the data, as if it were data taken from doctheshow.com
and from doctheshow music blog page closed in 2016; but it was not. Rod will be
checking in on occasion to update what these jokers are up to next. A lot of
what is going on is not just bias; maybe fabricating false data, fabricating
false evidence, fabricating false accounts, irrelevant data from old Web pages,
and then misusing them, planting this evidence using algorithms into top
searches. Rod thinks this is corruption by someone working for social media
companies, etc. or maybe embedded law-enforcement or government workers, maybe
a network of "dirty cops? If so." Framing someone is a criminal
offense.
From Rod's memory, Rod never had an account named:
https://twitter.com/DOCTheShow and certainly not disorderlyconduct. Rod has
never been accused of any disorderly conduct in college, high school, work, or
business. Not in Rod's repertoire of Character. Unless, you are extreme to
consider education itself disorderly. People banned and burned the Bible, Text
Books, Truth about History Books, and many more, in many countries in history.
Very extreme people still exist today who consider or view the idea of Truth or
Education disorderly, maybe disorderly conduct.
This account [tag named: DisOrderlyConduct @ DOCTheShow / Twitter, The latest
Tweets from Disorderly Conduct @ DOCTheShow] is not related to Doctheshow.com,
neither now or in the future if opened by someone else. Rod has not used
Twitter since 2017 and has no plans on using the platform in the future.
Retired.

the hearing, Republican members of Congress kept coming back to this question
of anti-conservative bias, only it wasn’t much of a question. ""But
an algorithm built without favoring one political party or another, or constructed
without intentionally championing a particular ideology, is actually designed
to deliver culturally biased results. A search engine runs on algorithms and
artificial intelligence to instantaneously sift through the Internet’s nearly
two billion Web sites. Google’s engineers have embedded something they call
“authoritativeness” into their search algorithm to deliver its results, though
what this is, exactly, is challenging to understand, because it appears to be
based on a tautology: an authoritative source is a source that a lot of other
sources consider to be authoritative. "

Some possible charges: Perjury, if the framer actually offers false testimony
in court, in a deposition, or in a sworn affidavit; Subornation of perjury, if
the framer pays or otherwise induces others to offer false testimony in court,
in a deposition, or in a sworn affidavit; Filing a false police report, if the
framer makes false statements to the police; Obstruction of justice;
Conspiracy; Official misconduct, if the framer is a police officer, prosecutor,
or other public official having a duty to refrain from prosecuting the innocent
and acts to further prosecution knowing that the defendant is innocent;
Deprivation of civil rights under color of law (18 USC § 242), if the framer
acted under color of law and the individual framed was targeted for framing on
the basis of his or her membership in a class protected by that statute. In
addition, the framer can be charged with being an accessory to the underlying
criminal act, if there is an underlying criminal act and a purpose of the frame
is to protect the actual criminal wrongdoer from prosecution. A prosecuting
attorney who participates in a scheme to prosecute a person he or she knows to
be innocent may also face disciplinary action, which can include
disbarment."
“Police
Corruption.” Wikipedia, Wikimedia Foundation, 21 Dec. 2018,
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_corruption. Extortion/bribery: Demanding or
receiving payment for criminal offenses, to overlook a crime or a possible
future crime. Types of bribery are protection for illegal activities, ticket
fixing, altering testimony, destroying evidence, and selling criminal
information. Bribery is one of the most common acts of corruption. Theft and
burglary Is when an officer or department steals from an arrest and crime
victims or corpses. Examples are taking drugs for personal use in a drug bust,
and taking personal objects from a corpse at the scene of a crime. A theft can
also occur within a department. Shakedowns/ "Fixing": Undermining
criminal prosecutions by withholding evidence/ Perjury: Lying to protect other
officers or oneself in a court of law or a department investigation. Direct
criminal activities: A law enforcement officer engages in criminal activity
themselves.[9] The "frameup": The planting or adding to evidence,
especially in drug cases.""Flouting the police code of conduct in
order to secure convictions of civilians and suspects—for example, through the
use of falsified evidence. There are also situations where law enforcement
officers may deliberately and systematically participate in organized crime
themselves. Selective enforcement of jay walking tickets based on race or
gender in many cities.
Congressional Hearing: Mentioning some of the members leaving and

never use Twitter again for that reason. He built a safer platform that
accomplish more in Education_Entertainment_Research that he can leave passive,
and not have to constantly watch, without the threat from internal or external
sources adding things to his Personal Blog that are inappropriate in framing
another person’s ideas, with malicious, maybe fraudulent intent, as Rod's
ideas. This was the background of Rod on Twitter. He will analyze the inferior
parts he heard and the potential dangers that he saw, and still see, that
Twitter presents to America Democracy after he watched the Congressional
Hearing attended by Twitter CEO.

company did discover more than 2,500 accounts in 2016 linked to the Internet
Research Agency (IRA), the Kremlin's notorious digital army of bots and trolls.
Last January, Twitter revealed that the damage was actually larger than
originally thought, announcing that 1.4 million of its users interacted with
nearly 4,000 Russian spam accounts during the 2016 election. This included

Likened to, similar to an Opioid Dope Head Addicted; killing themselves even when
you tell them "you killing yourself." Just Rod's opinion. He was
never an Opioid addict and he is not an Opioid user.

offense for which absolute liability is imposed by law, the element is not

Inferior on a subject and given inferior word terminology
and information leads to false premises, false analysis, and false conclusions
to investigation which may lead to false prosecution on bad evidence. Not all
Bots are malicious and anyone speaking as an expert witness on the subject
should differentiate between the two. So no, Good Bots should not equally be
treated as something automatic bad by mention. A comprehensive array of
information is available by googling the words so Rod will not cover that
subject. He will focus on Good Bots use on Twitter. They can be one of the most
resourceful, ingenious, important, talented, sharp, clever, cost-effective,
creative tools for people promoting research work, developing entertainment
platforms, or as an automated program for learning and teaching the public
different core subjects. Rod will go deeper on the subject.
Rod has followed Alex Jones for a couple decades as he
proved many conspiracy theories to be true or disproved the media to be false
by documenting the evidence and going to places where the theories were
supposed to have occurred. He brought into question much investigation
journalism investigating what the public wanted to know having 5 million or
more followers or hits maybe. But, Rod did remove Alex Jones Info-wars, from
his Twitter list in 2016-2017 before anyone else banned him. Alex took his show
more in a direction of acting and performing with the Sandy-Hook matter and was
making more personal angry threats directed at certain folks that was becoming
unacceptable for a couple a reason. In weighing a threat, so many are made on
the internet, other people have to consider does the person have the resources
or tenacity to carry it out. With Alex Jones, he visits people he talks about,
so he does have resources. Now Alex could be just a "Rick Flair"
impersonator but he began to put more people on edge with anger sometime
brandishing weapons on his shows and making allegation about Jews in
Charlottesville Va. Although, Rod does think many NAZI impersonators at function
are more than not, likely also impersonated by opposition to arouse tension.
So, Rod has watched Mr. Jones for a long time and still catch him not so often
over the last couple years, but many others in the liberal parties,
Politicians, Actors, Actresses, should be temporarily banned at times or
permanently banned not for speech; but for good cause, action associated with
the free speech, that they are allowed. Rod will talk about this in
depth. JTA. “Alex Jones Says Jewish Actors Posed As Klansmen In
Charlottesville.” The Forward, 15 Aug. 2017,
forward.com/fast-forward/379925/alex-jones-says-jewish-actors-posed-as-klansmen-in-charlottesville/
Because of this anger, yes, Rod removed Corey Booker and Maxine Waters from his
list several times. It is they who have the anger but it may be causation for
another to act out violent actions. More legal terminology coming.
Rod believes Twitter and Facebook failed to act in the
anger at Charlottesville, Virginia which left one dead and many injured. Rod believe
that Twitter and Facebook failed to act in Colin Kaepernick kneeling angry
protest in the first two weeks which he believes was a subsequent cause to the
Las Vegas shooting. Differently Rod responsible shut his list down for two
weeks so no one could communicate during the peak of the anger from the
kneeling and media sensationalism of it. At least Facebook should be able
to foresee the causation of angry "flash-mobs" that show up in
cyberspace especially when their sister "flash-mob" has shown up in
person physically on ground locations; examples are the overthrow of Egypt,
Libya, and Syria. One, the Arab Spring, which Zuckenberg Facebook was alleged
to be involved in. He downplayed it. 2012, Chen, Adrian. “Mark Zuckerberg
Takes Credit for Populist Revolutions Now That Facebook's Gone Public.”
02/02/2012 Gawker,
gawker.com/5881657/facebook-takes-credit-for-populist-revolutions-now-that-its-gone-public
When Rod saw the people attempt to gather in an angry manner, he pulled the
plug on their activity, for America not to be overthrown by this anger,
coordinated with live physical on ground "flash-mobs" they, Congress,
Justice Department, or Supreme Court by suit, will have to require social media
to pull the plug when these angry "flash-mobs" form; even if it is at
the highest level, Hillary Clinton, President Obama, Labron James, or even the
President of the United States, or Middle East, or European Union, Russia, or
China may be involved. This is not interfering with free speech coupled with
violent "flash-mobs" whether virtual or on the ground; they are not
guaranteed speech, no more than falsely yelling "fire" in a
crowded movie theater. It really is not
about spreading descent and discourse from other countries that is the major
threat for America Politics and Elections. It is not Russia, maybe Iran, in
Congress and America saying that they hate America, pledge, and flag. It is not
Russian boycotting and picketing American Holidays like Christmas. It is not
Russia desecrating the American Flag, they showed it respect at the
Olympics. More on this issue coming. Rod was taught about forming "flash
mobs" in Journalism, but it was taught as people gathering to do dance
duo(s), I don't think that is really why media studies people are taught how to
form "flash-mobs" what the heck is a "flash mob." Dancing
is great, but when Bill Clinton was in office, a "flash mob" gathered
in Rwanda full of anger and murdered one million people before it was stopped
over a 3 month period.

“Is It Illegal to Yell ‘Fire’ in a
Crowded Theatre?” Law Stack Exchange,
law.stackexchange.com/questions/28853/is-it-illegal-to-yell-fire-in-a-crowded-theatre "Law
The origin of the phrase is from the Supreme Court of the United States in the
case Schenck v. United States, 249 U.S. 47 (1919). It specifically rules on the
limitation of freedom of speech (first amendment): The original ruling is this:
The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely
shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic. [...] The question in every
case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a
nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the
substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent. As pointed out by
@phoog, this does not saying anything about the lawfullness of shouting
"fire", it says that if your speech creates a clear and present
danger, the first amendment will not protect you, even if the danger does not
result in actual harm."
Twitter CEO spoke that he believes that Twitter is the proper place to
have all types of dialogue. Rod and he are in agreement. Some subjects are
rude, not nice, insulting, sensitive, but need to be able to be talked about in
such places like Rod's research and educational sites. If no one talks, the
problems still do not go away, but are left misunderstood as inferior. And we
can not walk through life blind and inferior. So Rod's policy is that as long
as you are not angry, you are welcome to his blog, or have been welcomed to his
past works, to explore different thoughts of different people. But, this
privilege to explore does not give you right to try to change a person
with different thoughts from you. He will write more on this issue.
Education_Entertainment_Research
Inferior on a subject and given inferior word terminology and
information leads to false premises, false analysis, and false conclusions to
investigation which may lead to false prosecution on bad evidence. I think the
CEO said they are challenging 5 million customers a day. I think Congress was
demanding that accounts be verified names of the person using it. Well, that
was one reason not to develop on other platforms, differentiating itself from
the others, that many chose Twitter. Thousands of these fan accounts bringing
entertainment and followers to Twitter.
The fan who wanted to support a star by opening up an
account with the star's name and face, when the star hasn't for whatever
reason, and keeping that star's legacy alive sending the Star free advertisement,
maybe increasing the stars’ revenue sales whatever he, the Star, has for sale
on other platforms, even though that Star did not use Twitter.
The fan who wanted to support a star by opening up an
account fan page for a Star that has passed to keep his legacy living;
certainly the name of the account could not be a dead star. Thousands or
millions of these fan accounts bringing entertainment and followers to Twitter
may have existed.
Tweeting with a stage name; stage names are not the persons
real name in entertainment. Many in entertainment do not use their real names
because they don't draw as many people than does a stage name or a theme based
name according to subject.
Tweeting with a stage name; stage names are not the
persons real name in entertainment may be used by many people in other
countries because they do not have freedom of speech and their real name would
put their lives in jeopardy. So many may not be malicious characters but people
that lack freedom to speak but add value; the needed conversations that are
welcome in education, entertainment and research sites' platforms.
National Intelligence
Inferior on a subject and given inferior word terminology and information
leads to false premises, false analysis, and false conclusions to investigation
which may lead to false prosecution on bad evidence.
The person in a troubled area Tweeting with a stage name;
stage names are not the persons real name in entertainment. This person could
not use a real name because they may be killed because many operate in war torn
areas. But, they give vital intelligence to the State Department, CIA, and
Military. If not for them, and now you force them to verify, a girl was chopped
up last month and fed to the dogs in the street in one of those Providences for
speaking on Twitter and other social media, our troops have to risk their lives
to go into these areas, highly noticed, to gather the same intelligence, not as
good as a local for sure. You may now cost more our soldiers, intelligence
people, and volunteers helping the United States more of their lives; and a
high financial cost that may be provided free.
Good Bots
Inferior on a subject and given inferior word terminology and information
leads to false premises, false analysis, and false conclusions to investigation
which may lead to false prosecution on bad evidence.
A Good Bot is an aggregated
or compiled group of information assimilated to be dispersed automatically over
another platform. For example, a person who has done twenty years research, and
decides to give it away free in an entertaining method using 140 characters at
a time. So, he spends months putting this information together to Tweet out,
over and over, at a set time, through infinity maybe. You can design these to
fit whatever platform you may want to work on. At one time you could transform
yourself into a Good Bot by using some tools like Tweet Deck, or today some
others maybe, so your tweets came out at specific times for given times for
several days or more.. Rod generally had suspicion when you yourself was a Bot
because your tweets came out perfect day after day at a certain time, maybe
every one hour or every half hour or at a certain hour. There is no malicious
act going on here just people using technology as it is supposed to be used to
make their and your experience more entertaining and meaningful. Thousands, if
not millions, may be doing this on Twitter. In addition, they may choose to
aggregate all of Einstein's work, Shakespeare's work, a series of math or
science calculation into similar Bots to fit the 140 character platform on
Twitter. Or some mom wanted to aggregate all of her food recipes, or for that
matter, a person is using a stage name themed to all Italian or Russian recipes
into a bot to work on the Twitter platform. Or someone wanted to list, well
there is tons of things to put on the automatic bots like news, history,
unproven conspiracy theories that still needed research work, statistics, and
many others. So, just do not use the word loosely and mess up important
research and education because you don't understand entertainment, education,
and how research work on Twitter. Rod used Good Bots in list making. They kept
the list moving 24 hours a day and provided reliable content and entertainment
to Twitter users.
An Algorithm to Detect anger levels would be a great innovation if invented by
the tech folks.
Election Research
Rod talked about Plan A and Plan B failing those who may have been
perpetrating them for and after the 2016 Presidential Elections
doctheshow.com/Tax_Day_April_15.html
or doctheshowbackup.blogspot.com/ But, He visions Plan C is already
set up for the 2020 elections. He will go
into more detail in the next couple days.
The Premise.
Plan A: It has been two years since the 2016 Election and
not one person has been found guilty of the highly publicized with many books
and profits made about the subject. From Rod understanding an email was leaked
to some third party to wiki-leak, and the Russia Gov't newspapers spreading the
information to others in the United States to affect the outcome of the 2016
that award Donald Trump the victory instead of Hillary Clinton.
The Scapegoats.
Two companies have closed because of the investigation. In
Rod's opinion they were both scapegoats to assert that something happened in
the 2016 election because none of the above have closed and still remain
vibrant on Twitter that were originally accused. One of the business, Cambridge
Analytical, activities occurred a couple years before the 2016 election,
similar and nothing much different from reported 200 other companies with the
same access allowed to the same material, and it was reported that they did not
do work in the 2016 election. The second company was indicted but from what Rod
read, they may be guilty of financial crimes or using someone's social security
number improperly. But, they were doing advertising work with all the parties
in the election running satire cartoon adds and in Rod's opinion had little
substantial influence in the 2016 because they are no names, doing some of the
above mentioned activity, and Social Media is driven by popular well know
people verses a bunch of no names stuffed in a small office with a couple
hundred thousand Tweet or Facebook followers, sending out satirical adds about
a candidate. There are already plenty of those free on the internet.
Rod believes Since Plan A accused are all still in play on
Twitter and Facebook, non-have been closed or banned, it is likely this will
again surface sometime here between now or in 2020 as Plan C. It does not
matter whether Republicans or Democrats or Anonymous Party or a similar network
next time secret whatever, fabricate another email, or whatever, feed this
stolen information; all that may matter is that it is something similar with
the same players to bring twice the accusation of injustice in 2020. It does
not matter who wins the Election, as long as the injustice is perceived. Rod
had the first three Newspapers in some of his list; but deleted the first two
of them when there was accusation that they had spread discourse into America.
He never removed Reuters because of their great reputation in the world for
news.
https://twitter.com/RT_com
https://twitter.com/SputnikInt
https://twitter.com/Reuters
https://twitter.com/wikileaks
https://twitter.com/Snowden
Alex Jones was banned from Twitter, but none of the Russian
media initial accused of spreading information into the United States to spread
discourse in America. Putin is a bad man but his Twitter account and the
Russian Government accounts are still open. Why is wikileaks still on Twitter
communicating with millions and millions through those questionable
"impression numbers" maybe, on Twitter? Espionage, maybe, is not
protected free speech and even though Twitter is following European Law, are
they not still an American company under American Law?
Rod only banned one person from his list permanently and
that was Wikileaks but he never thought about putting Snowden in any list. He
does not have anything personally against the two, but they may have been
involved in espionage against the United States and he does not approve of
people stealing top secret or classified information from the United States,
and releasing it to the public; unless it has been declassified; emails are or
should not be classified or top secret. He later temporarily removed people who
retweeted Wikileaks on a regular basis.
Inferior on a subject and given inferior word terminology and information leads
to false premises, false analysis, and false conclusions to investigation which
may lead to false prosecution on bad evidence. Which leads those to be
suspicious of actual truth as perceived misinformation.
Alternate Proximate Cause of Hillary Clinton losing 2016 Election
Many thought President Obama was Muslim at some
point in his life other than birthers. His dad was Muslim. America does
not have many Americans Christians change their name from Barry to Barrack
or Hussein. Hussein sounds very Muslim. President Obama attacked some
Christians, mostly White Southern Christians, guns and Bible stuff, on
occasions but overcompensated to appease celebrating around Christian Holidays.
Many Americans have short memories, little grudges, in politics.
Hillary attacked many conservative Christians, not just White Southern
Christians. Trump supported conservative Black Christians and White
Christians. Many questioned his sincerity in doing so, but he put on a good
show. Trump seemed sincere. He changed his mind a lot.
Like others, Rodney thought Trump won because he said he
was Christian, did not back down from Christian issues, and guaranteed to
proceed to support Christian values. Rodney thought another reason Clinton
lost maybe because of her history. Whether Comey, Russia, Minister Farrakhan,
Alex Jones, the 50% of Americans that Hillary called Deplorable Americans,
the NRA, the Bernie disappointed that they cheated him, Benghazi lies
losing Military vote, the anti-establishment Americans against both Democrats
and Republicans, the many offended American Christians under attack, or the
folks holding those signs about Bill Clinton may have lost her the #metoo(s)
helped is speculation of the alternative to the Russian Conspiracy Theory
having little substantial effect on 2016 Elections.
Rod believes, this thing called Habit, is the basis for
entrapment and framing a person by those understanding and knowing the law.
Evidence can be fabricated based on your habits to fit a certain crime or
elements of the crime and you may not even know it is happening, or happened to
you, unless you read and new the law. Such as this statement written by
Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 251:
“Specific acts can also be used to prove someone’s habit.
“Habit” is defined in two different ways, depending upon the jurisdiction.
Under the frequency or probability theory of habit is a very
frequently-repeated response to a very specific stimulus, a response so
frequent as to make it a good predictor of behavior. Under the alternative
psychological theory, frequency is still required, but in addition the behavior
must be semi-automatic so that it is not under the actor’s fully conscious
control. “

10. White House travel office controversy
Rod looks at the next four pieces of law and gives an
alternate theory about the Russian Conspiracy Theory:
(1)
Impeachment involves:
Reputation, Opinion of a close friend, Specific, Unconvicted Acts of
Untruthfulness, Prior Convictions, Felonies, Chimen-Falsi when a person has
lied or made intentional false statements before a court or judge, and Perjury.
(Podger, Henning,
Taslitz, and Garcia P. 231, 232, 233, 234)
"Federal courts have also specifically
recognized the importance of the defendant's right to produce evidence that a
third party (or "aaltperp," i.e., "allege alternative
perpetrator." This term was coined by Professor David McCord in h-
article, But Perry Mason Made It Look So Easy! ": The Admissibility of
Evidence Offered by a Criminal Defendant to Suggest That Someone Else Is
Guilty. 6 TENN. L. REV. 917, 920 (1996). * * *), actually committed the crime.
* “
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and
Garcia P. 538)
(2)
Trials Determine Facts, Not
Law
“What act will suffice to show
than an attempt itself has reached the stage of a complexed crime has
persistently troubled the courts. They have an applied a number of approaches:”
Proximity Approach
The Probable Desistance
Approach
The Equivocality Approach
(3)
“The Model Penal Code Approach”
looks to section 5.01 of the Model Penal Code (Proposed Official Draft 1962) to
solve the problem. Under subsection (1) (c) a person is guilty of an attempt to
commit a crime if, acting with the kind of culpability otherwise required for
commission of the crime, he “purposely does or omits to do anything which,
under circumstances as he believes them to be, is an act or omission constituting
step in a course of conduct planned to culminate in his commission of the
crime.”
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and
Garcia P. 429, 430)
(4)
"Criminal cases, the law
is not in dispute. Rather, controversy centers around what the facts are and
how the law should apply to them. Fact-finding is therefore central to the
criminal trial indeed it is central to civil trials as well and too much other
lawyering activity. The facts that must be proven or disproven those that help
to establish or undermine the existence of any of the basic elements of a crime
— the act, attendant circumstances, mental state, and results or to support
or-attack an affirmative defense. — - Facts relevant to any or all elements of
a crime or defense might be in controversy."
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and
Garcia P. 229)
This research paper is written on Criminal Law by
Rod Jackson. He will use the reference text Criminal Law, Concepts
and Practice, Second Edition, Carolina Academic Press, Authored by
Ellen S. Podger, Peter J. Henning, Andrew E. Taslitz, and Alfredoo Garcia.
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia) First, Rod will list some defenses that
may prevent Prima Facia Cases, then he will write a little bit on some of these
topics: Ex Post Facto, The Mercy Rule, Conspiracy and what Government has to
prove, Strategy, Exclusion of [exculpatory] evidence as unconstitutional,
Impeachment of witness, law on Outrageous Government conduct, what it takes to
prove a case, hearsay evidence that usually won't make it to a competent court
of law, legal argument against scumbags testifying in front of Congress and
reasons to appeal to higher court, entrapment elements, a person with a history
of false testimony not testifying, examples of Mens Reus, Actus Reus, discovery
in criminal trials, Jurisdiction and venue, specific intent, that secret informant may be a bug, room tap, placed anywhere a
person goes in your business; sweeping the White House for taps each week, Planting Evidence and Criminal Framing a person is a
crime against that person by the Government vs Entrapment is unconstitutional
acts by the government, and impossibility as a defense to committing a crime.
Note. Rod has never taken a criminal law course in College and has not read any
law books at length before reading this text. So, he probable ignorant on some
of this stuff.
This paper only skirts Criminal Law, and you can find much
more comprehensive answers at the following link to purchase this book, or
older or newer edition, by Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia book. Rod gives
it an excellent rating for the first time reading. (All High Schools should
require every student to take a criminal law course reading this book,
before graduating; it would be make more than likely a great impact on many
people lives forever; cut crime from unintentional mistakes

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rod’s
Hypothesis: The Conspiracy Agreement: Russia Conspiracy Theory to “Take Down”
Hillary Clinton’s opposition thru Furtherance, Foreseeable with Deceptive Practices of Coercion.
Rod is not a lawyer, but the law guiding his Hypothesis
is NRS 207.190 Coercion:
1. It is unlawful for a person, with the intent to compel another to do or
abstain from doing an act which the other person has a right to do or abstain
from doing, to:
(a) Use violence or inflict injury upon the other person or any of the other
person’s family, or upon the other person’s property, or threaten such violence
or injury;
(b) Deprive the person of any tool, implement or clothing, or hinder the person
in the use thereof; or
(c) Attempt to intimidate the person by threats or force.
2. A person who violates the provisions of subsection 1 shall be punished:
(a) Where physical force or the immediate threat of physical force is used, for
a category B felony by imprisonment in the state prison for a minimum term of
not less than 1 year and a maximum term of not more than 6 years, and may be
further punished by a fine of not more than $5,000.
(b) Where no physical force or immediate threat of physical force is used, for
a misdemeanor.
6.03 Jurisdiction and Venue
“Jurisdiction is the power of a
court to hear a case and render a valid decision,
while venue concerns the place where a case may be filed or tried.
In criminal cases, the Constitution requires that "such trial shall be
held in the state where thee said crimes shall have been
committed. ." U.S. CONST. art. III 2, cl.3.”
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 222)
Rod believes the
paragraphs he wrote on the issue, maybe a Prima Facie case with supporting
evidence supporting a wheel conspiracy. He believes there is enough evidence to
withstand a defense for such actions. A Prima Facie case would have to do much
of the next Six
things:
(1)
"§6.02 Proof Beyond
Reasonable Doubt "The element of causation is satisfied if the State
proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the acts of the defendant the substantial
cause of the act."
"If the intervening cause is merely a
coincidence rather than a response, then the question is whether it was
foreseeable."
"Due Process Clause of the Fifth
Amendment - the presumption of innocence, and the related requirement of proof
beyond a reasonable doubt to sustain a criminal conviction."
"The evidence, in other words,
must be or such persuasive quality that a jury could reasonably find the
essential elements beyond a reasonable doubt on the basis of that
evidence"
"The Court has recognized that
the presumption of innocence requires that the accused be acquitted so long as
the government has not proved every element of the offense beyond reasonable
doubt, without any requirement that the accused offer evidence (or indeed lift
a finger) in his defense. ****"
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 199, 200, 201, 202)
(2)
§Causation Cause-in-Fact
"Reversal - The reason is that
the prosecutor did not introduce sufficient evidence in its case-in-chief on
the causation element and therefore the charge should be dismissed at point in
time."
"The first cause-in-fact
requires the government to prove that but for the actions of the defendant the
result would not have happened when it did."
"The second cause-in-fact is
that the defendant be the proximate cause of the result."
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 173, 176, 182)
(3)
"State needed to prove not defendant, but the prohibited
result would not have occurred but for the conduct of the defendant, but also
that the defendant's conduct was the legal (or proximate) cause of the
prohibited result."
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 184 - 187)
(4)
“* * * In order to establish a conspiracy under § 371, the government
must-prove: (1) an agreement to commit an illegal act; (2) the defendant's
knowing and intentional participation in the agreement; and (3) an overt act
committed in furtherance of the agreement. The government may rely on
circumstantial evidence to establish both the existence of a conspiracy and the
defendant's involvement. But although a jury may infer facts from other facts
derived by inference, "each link in the chain of inferences must be
sufficiently strong to avoid a lapse into speculation." United States v.
Peters, 277 F.3d 963 (7th Cir.2002)”
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 489 - 490)
(5)
This quote is true but is different involving a chain
conspiracy:
“To be members of the same conspiracy, however, each person must
know that others are involved in the criminal enterprise, and that those
unknown participants are a functional part of the conspiracy.”
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 499)
Thus,
"In Kotteakos v. United States, 328 U.S. 750 (1946), the
Court reversed the conspiracy conviction for a wheel conspiracy involving a
central "hub" figure, whose associates were the "spokes."
In Blumenthal v. United States, 332 U.S. 539 (1947), the court upheld a
conviction involving a chain conspiracy, with several "links" leading
linearly from a source; each link may not know the entire chain, but the links
eventually lead back to the source."
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 498)
(6)
“In some cases "outrageous government conduct" is
considered a separate defense from entrapment. Like "objective
entrapment" it is premised on the conduct of the police. In order to be
successful with this defense, courts require the police conduct to rise to a
level of being a due process violation. See Williams v. United States, 705 F.2d
603 (2d Cir. 1983)
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 664)
“4. When Does a Conspiracy End? "In_Krulewitch-v. United
States, 336 U.S. 440 (1949,)', the government tried to introduce the statement
of an alleged conspirator 'urging a cover-up of the participation of another
conspirator after-They had-been arrested. The government argued that any
statements designed to conceal the existence of a conspiracy are part of the
conspiracy, and therefore the conspiracy continues so long as it is not exposed
and the later statements can be used to establish its existence. The Court
rejected the government's proposed expansion of every conspiracy, stating:”
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 499)
Rod Believes, in 2016 - 2018, The Government, The State, The
Hub, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Hillary Clinton's old intern, Michael Dean Cohen
were framing and furthering a Russian Conspiracy before the 2016 Election. Two
were removed from the Government when the identity of what they were doing was
revealed before and after the 2016 Election. The later pleaded to eight felons,
unrelated, maybe, to being President Trump's personal attorney. But, in a wheel
conspiracy in which the Government is the central "hub" figure,
removing several spokes does not stop the furtherance of the conspiracy. He
thinks this one paragraph supports the next six parts that needed to support
the law applied to the evidence:
(1)
"In Kotteakos v. United States, 328 U.S. 750 (1946), the
Court reversed the conspiracy conviction for a wheel conspiracy involving a
central "hub" figure, whose associates were the "spokes."
In Blumenthal v. United States, 332 U.S. 539 (1947), the court upheld a conviction
involving a chain conspiracy, with several "links" leading linearly
from a source; each link may not know the entire chain, but the links
eventually lead back to the source."
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 498)
(2)
"(1) No person may be convicted of an offense unless each
element of such offense is proved beyond a reasonable doubt. In the absence of
such proof, the innocence of the defendant is assumed. (4)(b) the fact
must be proved to the satisfaction of the court or jury, as the case
maybe." "Scharmer, 501 N. W2d 620 (Minn.1993) In such cases
"circumstantial evidence must do more than give rise to suspicion of
guilt."' 'it must point unerringly to the accused's guilt.'''
Reasonable doubt is that doubt engendered by an investigation of all the
proof"

Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 208, 209, 213)

In the three cases with the women spokes attempting, with the
intent to compel Rod to abstain Rod from doing an act which they have a right
to do or abstain from doing. One, attempted to frame Rod, that could have
caused him severe harm, with a phone call with false statements about gifts and
taxes. She reached the point of intent when someone in the link erased the tape
from Rod’s message service; his only proof of what she did. The Doctor that
wrote the false statement in his records, after 10 complaints, and a lot
pressure, changed the statement admitting it was a lie at Rod’s next visit in
August 2018. But, she had already reached the point of intent to compel Rod to
abstain Rod from doing an act which they have a right to do or abstain from
doing. He filed a similar complaint against the Nurse, but he saw her in August
2018, but did not bring up the issue, because he had already disproved her many
lies, concerning medicine and medical issues with documentary evidence. she had
already reached the point of intent to compel Rod to abstain Rod from doing an
act which they have a right to do or abstain from doing.
In the case with Trump, maybe another spoke, even though
violence further supports Rod’s hypothesis: The Conspiracy Agreement: Russia
Conspiracy Theory to “Take Down” Hillary Clinton’s opposition thru Furtherance,
Foreseeable. with Deceptive Practices of Coercion. Another spoke threatens
violence and bodily harm. NRS 207.190, “where physical force or the immediate
threat of physical force is used, for a category B felony by imprisonment in
the state prison for a minimum term of not less than 1 year and a maximum term
of not more than 6 years, and may be further punished by a fine of not more

crime is defined merely by recklessness or negligence. however, make reference to
"knowledge" as sufficient, and some j adopt an approach tying attempt
to the mens rea of the object crime_ some elements, requiring that the actor
exhibit the degree of culpability that is required for the object offense. For
a specific intent crime. the will have to show both the intent for the offense
and the intent to. offense. If the crime only requires proof of negligence or
.7. - person be guilty of attempting such a crime, e.g. such as attempted
manslaughter. The general rule is that such a charge is impossible by the
Hawaii Supreme Court in State v. Holbron, 904 P.2d 912 (Haw. 1995)”
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 438)
(4)
“Proof of intent can be based on circumstantial evidence. For in
attempt crime, it will often be difficult to determine-what the defendant
intended, when the attempt is incomplete; may not be sufficient to establish
the intent”
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 439)
(5)
“5.01 Criminal Attempt
(1) (a) Definition of Attempt. A person is guilty of an attempt to
commit a crime if the attendant circumstances were as he believes them to be;
or
(b) …with the belief that it will cause such results without
further conduct on his part
(c) … is an act or omission constituting a substantial step in a
course of conduct planned to culminate in his commission of the crime.
(2)…Substantial Step
(a) Lying in wait
(b) Enticing
(c) Unlawful entry
(d) Possession of material to be employed in the commission of the

“To be admissible, then the government must establish by a
preponderance of the evidence two requirements: (1) a conspiracy existed at the
time of the statements between the defendant and the declarant, and (2) the
statements contributed to the ultimate goal of the conspiracy. Bourjaily v.
United States, 486 U.S. 171 (1987).”
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 502)
Rod believes one of the spokes furthered the Russian
Conspiracy Entrapping/Framing when the Government failed to stop a Russian
company contacting and creating a paper-trail to many Conservative Americans
that had no idea of the Russian company was Russian until they were indicted
late after the 2016 Election which they plead not guilty. Rod believes
Papadopoulos furthered the Russian Conspiracy Entrapping/Framing when leaking a
story about Russian email framing a meeting with many of Trumps campaign team.
Rod has heard no more of that case since they pleaded not guilty; he thought it
was supposed to be in the summer of 2018.
“There is a constitutional right guaranteed to those accused of crimes
to confront witnesses against them. In Washington v. Texas, 388 U.S. 14 10967),
the Supreme Court stated:
"The right to offer the testimony of witnesses, and to compel
their attendance, if necessary, is in plain terms the right to present a
defense, the right to present the defendant's version of the facts as well as
the prosecution's to the jury so it may decide where the truth lies. Just as an
accused has the right to confront the prosecution's witnesses for the purpose
of challenging their testimony, he has the right to present his own witnesses
to establish a defense. This right is a fundamental element Due process of
law.”
“Inconsistent Defenses. As long as the defendant offers sufficient
evidence to support a defense, there is no problem with bringing forth
inconsistent defenses. In States v. Trujillo, 390 F.3d 1267 (10th Cir. 2004)”
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 539)
Rod believes the tape recording of President Trump violates
this law; but he further believes it went further to attempt to frame Trump by
the way his lawyer leads the questions and volunteered set up an illegal
business, which was illegal, recorded it to entrap Trump in several crimes, and
then the lawyer blame it all on the President, when the lawyer, fiduciary duty,
could have told Trump a legal way to make the payment. He made a dozen or so of
these tapes. Then, the lawyer bragged, motive, on television that he was out to
bring down this President. Those tape recordings were before the Election
2016. Rod has stated on several occasions of person fabricating false
evidence, planting it, and attempting to frame Rod:
"affirmative defense of entrapment requires proof of two
elements: first, that the government induced the offender to commit the crime;
and, second, that he or she was induced to commit a crime-that he or she was
not otherwise predisposed to commit. To identify someone’s “predisposition “to
do something is but other than their relevant character or personality trait.”
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 253)
Rod believes they were trying to frame him to attempt to pull
his Twitter list into the Russian Conspiracy, as several spokes later placed
Russian information into his list and other social media that he could not
remove. Early 2016, Rod believed that the Russian
Conspiracy Entrapping/Framing was furthered by one of the spokes that
attempted to have Rod attend a seminar which had one of Edward Snowden's
past lawyers by placing flyers in the bathrooms that he used at a library.
Later, in 2017 the spokes had two new doctors, he lost his
long time doctor, write false statements in his medical records, one about they
had a conversation that Rod revealed he was now smoking cigarettes and she
desperately tried to stop him, he never smoked anything in his life. Then, July
2018, when those came under investigation, another spoke in the wheel had a new
nurse fabricate to support the lies of the two doctors, backdated into Rod's
medical Records, in which Rod was alerted about the fabricated document, as he
got a copy that he was not supposed to see, in his opinion. After a lot of
complaints and pressure, the Doctor admitted the statement was a lie about him
smoking. These were attempts to go after Rod's credibility of statements
already in his medical records that this would contradict. The spokes kept
growing in the Russian Conspiracy Entrapping/Framing against
Americans furthering it when Mark Warner contacted several Russian operatives
responsible for fabricating lies in a document paid for by people connected to
Clinton.

is to protect the actual criminal wrongdoer from prosecution. A prosecuting
attorney who participates in a scheme to prosecute a person he or she knows to

disbarment."
Rod believes, this thing called Habit, is the basis for
entrapment and framing a person by those understanding and knowing the law.
Evidence can be fabricated based on your habits to fit a certain crime or
elements of the crime and you may not even know it is happening, or happened to
you, unless you read and new the law. Such as this statement written by
Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 251:
“Specific acts can also be used to prove someone’s habit.
“Habit” is defined in two different ways, depending upon the jurisdiction. Under
the frequency or probability theory of habit is a very frequently-repeated
response to a very specific stimulus, a response so frequent as to make it a
good predictor of behavior. Under the alternative psychological theory,
frequency is still required, but in addition the behavior must be
semi-automatic so that it is not under the actor’s fully conscious control. “
Rod believes the two elements repeatedly happens in this
wheel, chain-conspiracy:
‘Affirmative defense of entrapment. That defense requires proof
of two elements: first, that the government induced the offender to commit the
crime; and, second, that he or she was induced to commit a crime that he or she
was not otherwise predisposed to commit. “
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 253)
Another spoke came from the Justice Department when a senior
official named Bruce Ohr was demoted in 2017. His wife firm, Fusion GPS,
made money off the Trump Dossier that her firm put together, gave back to the
"hub" the Government, to launch FISA warrants. Another spoke
furthered the Russian Conspiracy Entrapping/ Framing reach out to Rod
April 2015 to further try to frame him by leaving a recording on his answering
service for tax day about some gifts that he did not give to change his tax
situation consideration for a prior year or maybe 2018, which the
"hub" later erased but Rod recorded the message to preserve the
evidence. In correlation to all this entrapment and framing, the
"hub" formed another spoke to further the conspiracy called "a
special counsel."
The Hub is still in action because it contacted Rod again on
the date it thought was its best, but it was
not, http://doctheshow.com/Tax_Day_April_15.html
You see, if the "Hub" is the Government involved,
itself, in misconduct, removing several spokes does not stop the wheel. The
network in the Government has to further The Conspiracy Entrapping/
Framing because they are the now the spokes. But, who now prosecutes the wheel.
It was reported on 09/13/2018, that Manaford had cut a deal; maybe it was
because of the weakness of the first case and the chance of another
embarrassment by both parties.
“A defendant charged with a specific intent crime can be
testified; strongly tempted to testify falsely or wish to present witnesses who
will testify falsely in the hope of securing an acquittal. There is no dispute
that defense counsel may not call witnesses who intend to commit perjury. ABA
Model Rules of Professional Conduct, Rules 1.2, 3.3, 3.4. Counsel for the
defense is presented with some competing ethical concerns when it is his or her
client that has testified falsely on the witness stand. See ABA Model Rules of
Professional Conduct, Rules 3.4. See also Nix v. Whiteside, 475 U.S. 157
(1986).”
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 159)
“These disputes over what happened and over how events should be
interpreted are questions of credibility. “Credibility” judgments are decisions
about who is telling the truth or whose tale merits belief. Although a witness
might speak an un-truth knowingly, that is, might lie, more often witnesses are
mistaken or confused.”
“Prior inconsistent statements might also call memory into
question.”
“The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment also prohibits
using any “involuntary” confession against an accused at trial, even if Miranda
has not been violated.”
The Conspiracy Entrapping/ Framing may respond in
several ways. They more than likely would deny the conspiracy existed. Two
defenses they may use:
(1)
§Alternate Theories of Causation
"Although the State may submit alternate theories of
causation to the jury, if supported by the evidence, it must establish in its
case-in-chief a Prima Facie basis for each theory that goes to the jury."
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 180)
(2)
§Character as Evidence Exception
"FRE (The Federal Rules of
Evidence are the governing rules in Federal Cases) 404 generally prohibits
using evidence of character or character traits to prove that a party or
witness acted consistently with those traits on a particular occasion."
"Phrases such as "I
don't recall" and Not to my recollection." Rather, we can attribute
watery testimony to the fallibility of human memory and to inherent
limitations..." {Rather than perjury}
"In addition to the
potential detrimental effect of time on his memory, ... was also inherently
limited as a witness because he was not present."
"The Due Process
Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment also prohibits using any
"involuntary" [secret tape recordings gained from deception?]
confession against an accused at trial," Miranda v. Arizona
"28 U.S.C. § 2254
(D)(2). Rephrased, "a federal court may not second-guess a state court's
fact-finding process unless, after review of the state-court record, it
determines that the state court was not merely wrong but actually
unreasonable." Taylor V. Maddox, 366 F.3d 992 (9th Cir 2004)."
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 234, 242, 244, 245, 247)
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 254)
“The government overstates the strength of its evidence This
sequence of events establishes at-most that Jones was present while-Rock
engaged in what Rock-admitted-was-an illegal straw purchase-of a firearm but
“mere presence” while a crime is being committed is insufficient to show that a
defendant acted too further a conspiracy. Even if Jones knew of Rock's plan to
resell the rifle. His knowledge or approval of the illegal scheme is
insufficient to sustain a conviction.”
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 489 -
490)
Another spoke went after Cambridge Analytical, but Rod
believes this may be the law that they may be violating when they consider
taking action against Cambridge Analytical.
“2.. Ex Post Facto. The Constitution prohibits ex
post facto (after the fact) laws.
U.S. CONST., Art. 1, § 9, 10. In Calder v. Bull, 3 U.S. 386 (1798),
the Court stat9d:”
“I will state what laws I consider ex post facto
laws, within the words and the intent of the prohibition. 1st. Every law
that makes an action, done before the passing of the law, and which was
innocent when done, criminal; and punishes such action. 2nd. Every law
that aggravates a crime, or makes it greater than it was, when committed.
3rd. Every law that changes the punishment, and inflicts a greater
punishment, than the law annexed to the crime, when committed. 4th. Every
law that alters the legal rules of evidence, and receives less, or different,
testimony, than the law required at the time of the commission of the
offence, in order to convict the offender. All these, and similar laws,
are manifestly unjust and oppressive. * * *”
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 75)
In such case, Rod differentiates himself from
such acts according to the law:
The Mercy Rule
“This rule permits a defendant to choose to offer evidence of a
pertinent trait f — his or her character one relevant to disproving one or more
of the elements of a crime. It is called the "mercy rule" because it
is considered an act akin to mercy to allow a defendant to seek to raise a
reasonable doubt about his or her guilt of a crime by proving pertinent good character.”
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 159)
“A belief that conduct does not legally constitute an
offense is a defense prosecution for that offense based upon such conduct when:
(a) the statute or other enactment defining the offense is not
known to the actor and has not been published or otherwise reasonably made
available prior to the conduct alleged”
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 167)
“Most standard criminal law texts will say that motive is
never an element of a crime. Rather, motive is simply circumstantial evidence
helping to prove the existence of an element. These assertions are usually
correct but are overstated because sometimes "motive" is an element
of a crime, though not always so ',.labeled. For example, if motive is defined
as the reason why an offender thought or acted a certain way in a particular
case, then the specific intent portion of fiery specific intent crime
constitutes motive as an element. -------“
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 250)
They have now become spokes in the Wheel working for the
"hub." Rod had three women from the spokes bring false statements
against him to attempt to destroy his character. Here, in an article from Judge
Jeanine, she asks why else would Feinstein wait 2 months before she bring forth
a woman that claim she was raped forty years ago by Brett Kavanaugh. There is
another reason, if the incident had merit, it would have come to the forefront
immediately; but, by the time ending of the Supreme Court nominee, the matter
would have been done investigating. Rod believes she waited to push the vote
after the election, in hope of winning more votes in Congress or Senate to vote
down this Supreme Court. Feinstein may be another spoke in the wheel:
“Former Feinstein Staffer Hired Fusion GPS, Christopher
Steele.” The Federalist, 27 Apr. 2018,
thefederalist.com/2018/04/27/confirmed-former-feinstein-staffer-hired-fusion-gps-christopher-steele/. "A

"PIRRO: Then, Dianne, you've been sitting on this
letter for almost two months. You let Brett Kavanaugh go through days of Senate
hearings, meeting with Senators, answered then an additional 263 pages of 1,300
follow-up written questions, and now, you want to character assassinate this
man who has undergone six FBI full field investigations where no such
allegation resembling this anonymous nonsense has ever surfaced? What impact
will Sen. Feinstein's decision have on the confirmation process? 'America's
News HQ' panel weighs in. Dianne, as a ranking member of the committee
interviewing Kavanaugh, how could you possibly let a moment pass without
addressing the issue when Kavanaugh was right in front of you and would have
had the opportunity to respond? What were you thinking? Are you stupid? Why
would you let it go? Let me tell you why you let it go, Dianne. Because even
you didn't believe it. What other reason could there be? Now, I know about
women who have been sexually assaulted and the kind of pain they go through. It
is different from other crimes. It lingers and rears its head throughout their
lives. I have prosecuted on their behalf for decades. One of the ways that we
establish their credibility is with how recent their complaint is. A recent
outcry is enormously powerful. An anonymous one almost 40 years later, not so
much, Dianne. But silence? I guess, I shouldn't be surprised."

Rod only have a couple more days of writing and no more post
on this blog. Rod relationship is with God. He has no connection in any
conspiracies and has no relationship with President Trump other than a United
States citizen that wish the President well. But, he does have a problem with
allowing a scumbag, as he believes tried to frame the President testify to
anything. And, a prosecutor that would allow that scumbag to testify and give
him rewards, I would probable not trust anyone he brought before a courtroom.
Prosecutors have discretion when allowing witnesses to testify.
"Section 2.013. Entrapment.
A public law enforcement official or a person acting in
cooperation with such an official perpetrates an entrapment if for the purpose
of obtaining evidence of the commission of an offense, he induces or encourages
another person to engage in conduct constituting such offense by either:
(1) (a) making knowingly false
representations designed to induce the belief that such conduct is not
prohibited."
(2) "A person prosecuted for an offense shall be
acquitted if he proves by a preponderance of evidence that his conduct occurred
in response to an entrapment. The issue of entrapment shall be tried by the Court
in the absence of the jury."
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 133)
Rod saw John Carry with his new book stating that Watergate
allowed criminals to testify in Congress and he even showed a clip of one of
their opening statements. If Rod recalls correctly, he said that he knew he
would serve forty or fifty years in jail for what he was about to say; but
still would testify about his involvement. Now. Did he later get a deal? Rod
does not know the answer. But, he was willing to testify assumable before he
got a deal. He did not sound like he was getting a deal. Or, he was not sincere
omitting the fact; lying.
So now we have the Muller deal cutters that would only
testify if they got deals which require a certain amount of saying what the
Muller team wants to hear or the deals want be so sweet. I won’t lose any sleep
if they say Putin and Trump are ancestral cousins with the same Grandpa. But, I
would not equate their duty for the country as I would a man willing to tell
his story with a forty-year sentence having not cut a sweep deal.
In Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 159, they discuss,
comparable, defendant being the Government Hub, “A defendant charged with

“Successful negotiations thus require an exchange of information
about what evidence each side has to offer, what arguments it will make about
credibility, and what legal issues it will rely upon. “
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 272)
A Kangaroo court would let such action take place without
considering Impeachment of such witnesses by Reputation, Opinion of a close
friend, Specific, Unconvicted Acts of Untruthfulness, Prior Convictions,
Felonies, Chimen-Falsi when a person has lied or made intentional false
statements before a court or judge, and Perjury. He does not think a Judge, in
a competent court of law would allow scumbag to testify if the defendant had a
good attorney challenged to the Supreme Court, or appealable at the minimum of
any conviction coming from this framing scumbag. (Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and
Garcia P. 188)
“Ethically, lawyers are generally prohibited from any direct
contact with a party or witness who is represented by counsel. Instead all
communications must be between the two lawyers, who may then negotiate whether
any direct witness contact is permitted (if it is, usually it will be only in
counsel’s presence).”
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 271)
“The Government now asks us to expand this narrow exception
to the hearsay rule and hold admissible a declaration, not made in furtherance
of the alleged criminal transportation conspiracy charged, but made in
furtherance of an alleged implied but uncharged conspiracy aimed at preventing
detection and punishment. No federal court case cited by the Government
suggests so hospitable a reception to the use of hearsay evidence to convict in
conspiracy cases. * * * The rule contended for by the Government could have
far-reaching results. For under this rule plausible arguments could generally
be made in conspiracy cases that most out-of-court statements offered in
evidence tended to shield co-conspirators. We are not persuaded to adopt the
Government's implicit conspiracy theory which in all criminal conspiracy cases
would create automatically a further breach of the general rule against the
admission of hearsay evidence.”

dictionary.law.com/Default.aspx?selected=859. "hearsay (redirected
from Inadmissible as Hearsay) Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical,
Financial, Encyclopedia. Hearsay A statement made out of court that is offered
in court as evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted. It is the job
of the judge or jury in a court proceeding to determine whether evidence
offered as proof is credible. Three evidentiary rules help the judge or jury
make this determination: (1) Before being allowed to testify, a witness
generally must swear or affirm that his or her testimony will be truthful. (2)
The witness must be personally present at the trial or proceeding in order to
allow the judge or jury to observe the testimony firsthand. (3) The witness is
subject to cross-examination at the option of any party who did not call the
witness to testify. In keeping with the three evidentiary requirements, the
Hearsay Rule, as outlined in the Federal Rules of Evidence, prohibits most
statements made outside a courtroom from being used as evidence in court. This
is because statements made out of court normally are not made under oath, a
judge or jury cannot personally observe the demeanor of someone who makes a
statement outside the courtroom, and an opposing party cannot cross-examine
such a declarant (the person making the statement). Out-of-court statements
hinder the ability of the judge or jury to probe testimony for inaccuracies
caused by Ambiguity, insincerity, faulty perception, or erroneous memory. Thus,
statements made out of court are perceived as untrustworthy. Hearsay comes in
many forms. It may be a written or oral statement; it also includes gestures.
Essentially anything intended to assert a fact is considered a statement for
the purposes of the Hearsay Rule. A nodding of the head may be a silent
assertion of the word yes. A witness pointing to a gun may be asserting,
"That is the murder weapon." Even silence has been accepted as a
statement, as when a passengers' failure to complain was offered to prove that
a train car was not too cold (Silver v. New York Central Railroad, 329 Mass.
14, 105 N.E.2d 923 [1952]). Not all out-of-court statements or assertions are
impermissible hearsay. If an attorney wishes the judge or jury to consider the
fact that a certain statement was made, but not the truthfulness of that
statement, the statement is not hearsay and may be admitted as evidence.
Suppose a hearing is held to determine a woman's mental competence. Out of court,
when asked to identify herself, the woman said, "I am the pope."
There is little question that the purpose of introducing that statement as
evidence is not to convince the judge or jury that the woman actually is the
pope; the truthfulness of the statement is irrelevant. Rather, the statement is
introduced to show the woman's mental state; her belief that she is the pope
may prove that she is not mentally competent. On the other hand, a defendant's
out-of-court statement "I am the murderer," offered in a murder trial
to prove that the defendant is the murderer, is hearsay. The Federal Rules of
Evidence outline the various types of statements that are excluded by the
Hearsay Rule, and are thus admissible in court. These exceptions apply to
circumstances believed to produce trustworthy assertions. Some hearsay
exceptions are based on whether the declarant of the statement is available to
testify. For example, a witness who has died is unavailable. A witness who
claims some sort of testimonial privilege, such as the Attorney-Client
Privilege, is also unavailable to testify, as is the witness who testifies to
lack of memory regarding the subject matter, or is too physically or mentally
ill to testify. These definitions fall under Rule 804 of the Federal Rules of
Evidence. There are also situations where hearsay is allowed even though the
declarant is available as a witness. These situations are outlined under Rule
803 of the Federal Rules of Evidence. Hearsay Exceptions: Availability of
Declarant Immaterial Present Sense Impression. "A statement describing or
explaining an event or condition made while the declarant was perceiving the
event or condition, or immediately thereafter," is admissible hearsay
(Fed. R. Evid. 803(1)). An example is the statement "That green pickup
truck is going to run that red light."

Case 1
“An affirmative defense such as choice of evils provides a
legal justification for otherwise criminally culpable behavior. A defendant who
asserts an Affirmative defense admits the doing of a charged act, but seeks to
justify the act of grounds deemed by law to be sufficient to avoid
criminal responsibility.(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 630) For
instance, one type of case is "DIMINISHED CAPACITY.""[T]he
diminished capacity defense is available in West Virginia to permit a defendant
to introduce expert testimony regarding a mental disease or defect that
rendered the defendant incapable, at the time the crime was committed, of
forming a mental state that is an element of the crime
charged." "Extreme emotional disturbance . . . is . . . an
affirmative defense upon which the burden of persuasion rests on the defendant.
* * "To sustain his burden of establishing extreme emotional disturbance
by a preponderance of the evidence, the defendant must persuade the trier of
fact that: (1) the emotional disturbance is not a mental disease or defect that
rises to the level of insanity as defined by the penal code; (2) the defendant
was exposed to an extremely unusual and overwhelming state, that is, not mere
annoyance or unhappiness; and (3) the defendant had an extreme emotional
reaction to it, as a result of which there was a loss of self-control, and
reason was overborne by extreme intense feeling, such as passion, anger,
distress, grief, excessive agitation or other similar emotions." * *
*” (Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 690) The defendant became
distress from working 18 to 20 hours a day, seven days a week, for an extended
period of time, in a self-owned business that a Psychologist determined to be
OCD, obsession compulsion disorder, ie: work-aholic. In addition, his wife was
eight months pregnant and he was pretty much in a state of a different celibacy
abstaining in marriage but with no sexual relations for that period of time,
and after a drink, beer, in a state of confusion, extreme emotional reaction,
he was out of town from his wife, about to turn in for the night, missing her,
in his twenties, and masturbated in public, but he initially thought it was
private, seen by a man and woman, simultaneous, which was definitely an extreme
emotional reaction, seen by several people that called police. The Defendant
was given an open beer, grog, by two strangers that the defendant had met
moments earlier. They were working in the same field so he had no reason to
suspect that the grog, beer, may have been spiked with something. He was in a
state of confusion, distressed, felt bad and depressed, and set on a curb for
about a half hour waiting on police when he could have just got in his truck
and drove off. He stood up when he saw the officer, and said, "here I
am" He was arrested and charged with indecent exposure and release after a
couple of hours because he was on a business trip and presented no harm to the
public. He received a breathalyzer and was not public-intoxicated. He pleaded
no contest in court and later remanded to see a psychologist or psychiatrist
for mental illness. He was diagnosed above. On his return to court, he received
no jail time and release to the care of his dad. Now, many laugh at these kind
of mental break downs; but mental illness is no laughing matter, even if it
temporary. He continued with a normal life after that extreme breakdown.
“An affirmative defense such as choice of evils provides a legal
justification for otherwise criminally culpable behavior. A defendant who
asserts an Affirmative defense admits the doing of a charged act, but seeks to
justify the act of grounds deemed by law to be sufficient to avoid

agitation or other similar emotions." * *
The Code further specifies that involuntary intoxication is an affirmative
defense.*” (Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and
Garcia P. 699, 706)
Case 2
“There is a constitutional right guaranteed to those
accused of crimes to confront witnesses against them. In Washington v. Texas,
388 U.S. 14 10967), the Supreme Court stated: "The right to offer the
testimony of witnesses, and to compel their attendance, if necessary, is in
plain terms the right to present a defense, the right to present the
defendant's version of the facts as well as the prosecution's to the jury so it
may decide where the truth lies. Just as an accused has the right to confront
the prosecution's witnesses for the purpose of challenging their testimony, he
has the right to present his own witnesses to establish a defense. This right
is a fundamental element Due process of law.”(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and
Garcia P. 539) The Defendant in this case did not confront witnesses or
accusers against him in court so could the Defendant have appealed these cases
on those grounds or should they have automatically been dismissed? The
Defendant ordered around $18,000 in Christmas Trees to be delivered over
schedule days during December. Trees have to be ordered a month or more in
advance. Upon delivery of first shipment. He brought it attention to the driver
of the truck that trees were wind-burnt; when the weather is hot, and the trees
are not fresh, then if not wrapped in tarp, the tree needles and limbs may
become brittle and fall quickly. The defendant had problems selling these trees
when they were first delivered. So, the next scheduled deliveries came, and
cash flow was short. His two backups that would normally help him out in a
financial jam, had spent out for the holiday. Then, a giant snow storm came a
week before Christmas diminishing last week sales. The defendant lost a lot of
Christmas trees; the season was disastrous. The Defendant could not cover about
six-thousand of the $18,000 at the end of sales and had two checks return to
separate suppliers. After 30 days, the law state that if you do not cover a
check you are guilty of Bad Check writing. The Defendant was contacted by an
investigator to come down to the station and finger print and later arraigned
and pleaded “not guilty” because of extenuating circumstances. He was remanded
to pay trees off before trial in six months. He paid trees off. It was five
months later. One charge was dropped because the dealer had some culpability in
the Defendant not selling the trees. But, the Prosecutor argued that the other
case with the bad weather, the person had no culpability. Neither of the
accusers showed up in court. The defendant subpoenaed the driver to appear
about the condition of the trees, but he did not come either. It may have been
understood that the tree conditions were not good from one supplier. So,
Defendant was found guilty by the Judge, the Defendant requested no jury, of
writing a bad check over $250. The Defendant wrote the Judge a strong letter,
that he thought the Judge had erred on the grounds that there was no criminal
intent, mens res, by the defendant. He had been in business for around five
years, stayed in business about five more years, 10 years, had been a third
generation Christmas tree seller, produced photos of the lost Christmas Trees,
and had paid the trees off when instructed. At sentencing, the Judge gave the
Defendant no time, five years’ probation, and wished the Defendant luck. The
Defendant respected the Judge decision and did not appeal, which his attorney
wanted to do. Did the Judge think he erred? Did the Defendant error? The
defendant never committed any financial crimes, no embezzlement, no thefts, no tax
evasion, no etc... Here is law on the issue:
“There are two broad sorts of facts that must be proven at a
criminal trial. The first sort is “raw” facts.”
B. Two Types of Facts: “Raw and “Normative”
“There are two broad sorts of facts that must be proven at a
criminal trial. The first sort is “raw” facts – who did what to whom, when, and
why.” “A raw fact is something that happened “out there,” in the real,
observable world of the past, that is, the event either happened or did not.”
“Since it is impossible to travel back in time and observe the crime,
factfinder biases; lawyers errors, ; insufficient, fraudulent, or distorted
evidence; poor judgment; and myriad other factors might result in the
factfinder making a mistake about what really happened. But, in theory, there
is one and only one “right” answer waiting to be found.”
“The second sort of fact is a” normative” fact, on for which even
time travel would not present a single, crystal clear answer.” “Mental state
determination involves normative facts to varying degree.” What was someone
thinking when they did something, if they do not tell you, you cannot read
their mind. “Yet, even proving normative facts turns on proving raw facts that
support normative inferences.”
(Podger, Henning, Taslitz, and Garcia P. 231, 232, 233, 234)
