Greetings,

Welcome and thanks for your interest in ProsecuteOfficials.org. This website outlines what must be done to prosecute civil and military officials, legislators, judges, corporation executives and other who have broken the law, using humane, discreet, restorative justice and reconciliation. As outlined in HumaneJustice.org

Prosecutions are absolutely necessary to end wars, torture, the recession and poverty. and to have justice and a fair rule of law. We must spend at least as much time on prosecutions as on demonstrations and marches.

Time is ripe for massive change. Many of our public servants have and are breaking laws. Others know this is happening but are not doing anything about it.

There is strength in numbers. We must work together. Otherwise they will pick us off one at a time as they are attempting to do to Private Brad Manning.

There is more than enough work for everyone. Individuals need not be a lawyer or even a paralegal to help.

Please subscribe to this web site, consider it as a work-in-progress, financially support these efforts, work with me and provide critical comments/recommendations on our approach and feedback to

Please consider the following documents as open ended and provide comments & suggestions to


Status of the Investigation and Prosecution of Public Servants and Corporation Executives for War and Other Crimes

Scores of books and videos show the illegality of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars/occupations and provide ample probable cause for prosecution of various individuals for war crimes.

U. S. officials and their agents have illegally detained, abused and/or tortured and continue to violate the rights of many individuals.

Despite the obvious crimes of senior officials and specific requests, no U.S. attorney or state prosecutor has yet been found who will investigate and attempt to obtain grand jury indictments against senior officials.

Much of the FBI is tied up investigating so call war on terror crimes and illegally spying on the people of America and doing very little to investigate crimes by public servants.

The leadership of the Department of Justice (DoJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are blocking investigations and white washing obvious crimes. Most of their talk about special prosecutors, commissions and investigations is posturing.

Legislators, senior public officials, have failed to provide meaningful responses to numerous petitions and requests for investigationts, hearings, impeachments, commissions and special prosecutors. They are unwilling and unlikely to do anything meaningful about prosecuting and/or impeaching officials on their own even though it is their legal duty to do so.

So far, the International Criminal Court (I.C.C.) have refused to investigate and prosecute the numerous complaints filed against U.S. Government officials based on their mistaken belief that the U.S. has a functioning legal system and will prosecute public servants who break the law.

The fact that United States Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald had the sitting governor of Illinois, arrested and indicted shows that it is feasible to prosecute sitting legislators, senior government officials, presidents and judges. The process that Fitzgerald used provides a model and sample document required to accomplish this.

To obtain a grand jury indictment, a U.S. Attorney or local district attorney is required. However, anyone can go before a magistrate, magistrate judge or judge and swear out a criminal complaint.

Obviously a new significantly different approach to criminal justice is needed.


Actions Required to Humanely and Discreetly Prosecute Lawbreakers
with Opportunities for Restorative Justice and Reconciliation

This document provides procedures and samples of documents to be used for discreet, humane, constitutional prosecutions of civil and military government officials, legislators, members of the judiciary, private sector officials, and others who have broken the law. This approach provides opportunities for restorative justice and reconciliation to help heal/restore both the victims and perpetrators of crimes. Procedures proposed when applied to the current criminal justice system will help decrease the number of crimes, reduce prison populations and reform the criminal justice systems.

  1. Use an existing or establish an office in the Washington DC area to prepare documentation and coordinate accomplishment of these efforts.
  2. Individuals need not be a lawyer or even a paralegal to help.
  3. Identify and make it possible for individuals and organizations working on various aspects of prosecutions to coordinate their efforts in person, by phone and/or e-mail.
  4. Compile a prioritized list of subjects that should be prosecuted.
  5. Gather required information and discreetly prepare the documents for prosecutions beginning with the higher priority subjects. These documents are outlined in Procedures for Preparing Documentation for Criminal Prosecutions. They include draft copies of: Criminal Complaints, Affidavits in Support of a Criminal Complaint that show probable cause and Applications for Warrants and cover letters (Local and Federal) to government investigators and prosecutors. Most of this work will be done in the Washington DC and by e-mail
  6. Before indictments are made public, criminal proceedings and the documentation should be kept discreet, confidential and private and not revealed or "leaked" to the public. Subjects should not be threatened, humiliated or challenged.
  7. Request authors of germane books and articles to prepare chronology of events and affidavits in support of criminal complaints from portions of their articles and books.
  8. Convert the requests for disbarment/disciplinary complaints filed with state bar licensing boards by attorney Kevin Zeese and the Velvet Revolution to criminal complaints and affidavits showing probable cause.
  9. While these documents are being prepared, ask individuals throughout the country who are interested in helping to contact and become acquainted with their local and federal investigators and prosecutors.
    Please Note: Local investigators are normally police department detectives; federal investigators are FBI agents; local prosecutors are district attorneys; and federal prosecutors are U. S. attorneys. Obtain their mail, e-mail addresses and phone and fax numbers. Establish a working relationship with them. The Sample Intro Letter to Potential Investigators and Prosecutors may be adapted to help with this. Exchange information with them about this web site, criminal justice procedures and documentation, jurisdiction, applicable laws, Bugliosi’s book and related topics.
  10. Request a task force of FBI agents and U.S. Attorneys be formed to investigate and prosecute civil and military public officials, legislators, members of the judiciary, corporation officials and others who have violated the law. Whether or not such a task force is formed, individual FBI agents, U.S. Attorneys and local and state prosecutors are responsible for prosecuting crimes that affect the people in their jurisdiction and must do their jobs.
  11. Request facilities for restorative justice and reconciliation efforts for the victims and perpetrators of crimes in the Washington D. C. Area.
  12. Beginning in the Washington DC area (Fairfax County, Arlington and Alexandria Virginia), review the documentation, prepared under paragraph 5, 6 and 7 above, with local and federal government investigators and prosecutors. Request:
    1. Their comments on the documentation.
    2. That they discreetly investigate, arrest or summon as appropriate and prosecute certain individuals. Insure that the rights of all those alleged to have committed a crime are protected.
    3. They subpoena and/or otherwise make available selected victims and witnesses of torture, abuse, maiming, illegal arrests or detentions and other crimes by U.S. officials and their agents. Those selected should include in particular those being held today in U.S. prisons without warrants.
    4. Provide these witnesses and victims the opportunity to conference/meet with those who perpetrated crimes against them and to receive restitution and reasonable reparation from the perpetrators U.S. Government.
  13. While proposed grand jury indictments are being prepared subjects should be examined by experts to find out why it is and what can be done as outlined in Humane, Restorative Justice and Reconciliation.
  14. Subjects should:
    1. Participate in individual reading/study group discussions with the victims of the crimes, be educated on the severity of their alleged crimes, see the errors in their ways and learn about the major elements of restorative justice. These major elements include taking steps to repair harm e.g. being contrite and apologizing, paying restitution and providing assistance to victims.
    2. Be encouraged, as appropriate, to apologize and pay restitution on their own instead of spending time and money on attorneys and grand juries.
  15. Prepare similar documentation under the UCMJ to request specific active duty and retired senior military officials who have violated the law to be investigated and prosecuted. Discuss and file this documentation with staff members of the Judge Advocate General (JAG) offices of the appropriate service (Army, Navy and Air Force)
  16. As lesson are learned in the Greater Washington DC area, refine/correct the documentation and processes. Provide refined copies of the draft documents and cover letters (Local and Federal) to individuals from all over the country willing to accomplish actions in paragraph 11 above with local and federal investigators and prosecutors.
  17. Politely inform the FBI, U.S. Attorneys, Department of Justice (DoJ) officials, federal magistrates, judges, etc. that if enough information is provided to show that a felony has been committed, government officials having knowledge of this information who do not investigate it and do nothing about it could be:
    1. In violation of 18 US Code Section 4, Misprision of felony, which requires: “Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”
    2. In violation of 18 U. S. Code Section 1510. Obstruction of criminal investigations
    3. Guilty of failing to provide honest services
  18. If government investigators and prosecutors will not investigate, individuals may swear out criminal complaints before a magistrate, magistrate judge or regular judge.
  19. If DoJ, the FBI, U.S. Attorneys, local investigators/prosecutors and U.S. Courts refuse to act or act improperly on criminal complaints, injunctions, suits, etc. file applicable documents with the Prosecutor for the International Criminal Court (I.C.C.) in The Hague.
    1. Please note that: Francis A. Boyle has filed a Complaint with the I.C.C. against George W. Bush, Richard Cheney and others for their criminal policy and practice of "extraordinary rendition" (Click here for Boyle's complaint)
    2. Judge Baltasar Garzon, a Spanish judge internationally known for trying to extradite former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, and filing criminal action against six former Bush administration officials for the torture of Spanish citizens at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, is now working for the ICC.
  20. Ask appropriate foreign governments whose citizens have been harmed by the actions of the U.S. to file similar complaints. Work with and support other nations.
  21. File wrongful death lawsuits against U.S. civil and military officials for service members killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, emotional distress lawsuits for service member suffering post-traumatic stress disorders, etc and other similar law suits.
  22. Continually refine this document based on lessons learned.
