The Patriot Post® · An Open Letter to Senator Feinstein

I sent a letter to Senator Feinstein and my other representatives via Conservative Action Alerts January 5, 2014 that begins:

“As a deeply concerned U.S. citizen, I am writing to ask you to please fulfill your Constitutional duty, and implement procedures to IMPEACH and REMOVE FROM OFFICE President Barack Hussein Obama, for his repeated and deliberate violations of the U.S. Constitution – which qualify as ‘High Crimes and Misdemeanors’.”

The concluding words of that letter, which I supplied, read as follows:

Grounds for Obama’s impeachment and removal (and as it should be for all those who have been/are complicit in his agendas), should start with sedition and go to each of the violated restrictions as given in The Constitution – after all, impeachment and removal are meant for the protection of the individual’s life and reputation, if nothing else.

For what it will take to overcome the effects of the last 100 years of mostly gross governmental mismanagement, manipulation and perverse politicization, we cannot be distracted by such corruption and burdened by further, intensified, attacks on The Republic and our Liberty, those elements being the very means for us to survive and prosper.

When those with political power go beyond the reach of their authority and for corruption cannot be brought to justice, they will meet justice in the overwhelming power of the unbreakable Laws, much less forgiving than even the laws of mere selfish men.

We must all act before every single one of us and our posterity has to pay a terrible price for the folly and greed for power of the few now amongst us.

By your oath of office impeachment is the task before you now above all else.

For your own sake, do not let it your duty fall to others to your shame.

I will be watching your actions on this matter very very closely.

Subsequently, on January 16, 2014, I received this response from Senator Feinstein:

I received your letter calling for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate President Obama, and for his impeachment. I appreciate hearing from you on this matter, and sincerely apologize for the delay in my response.

Under current Department of Justice guidelines, the Attorney General may appoint a special counsel to investigate incidents involving sensitive matters or cases that may present a conflict of interest for the Department. Due to the separation of powers enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, Congress does not have the power to appoint special counsels.

Additionally, under the Constitution, only the U.S. House of Representatives may file articles of impeachment against the President or other federal officials. As a U.S. Senator, I do not have the authority to impeach the President.

Furthermore, please know that several congressional hearings have been held to review the actions of Executive Branch officials whose conduct has come under question, and that a number of ongoing congressional investigations are examining these cases. Thus far, no information has been found that would suggest criminal activity by the President.

Currently, no legislation has been introduced in Congress to impeach President Obama. Please be assured that, as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I have noted your concerns and will keep them in mind should articles of impeachment be filed by the House of Representatives.

Again, thank you for writing. I hope that you will continue to contact me on issues of importance to you. If you have any additional comments or concerns, please contact my Washington, D.C. office.

Clearly a form letter that does not speak to the points had raised let alone a response to the reasoning, intent or facts involved, lot of verbiage to deceptively declare her hands are tied – “Congress does not have the power to appoint special counsels.”

Independent Counsels, Special Prosecutors, Special Counsels, and the Role of Congress is available on the internet for all to see.

To respond to this then, I wish to present an Open Letter to Diane Feinstein.

* * *

I received your response to my letter and am rather disappointed that you can only invoke your position with regard to action in the impeachment of Obama and the question of an appointment of a special counsel on such curious grounds, in the face of all the charges that have accumulated against him and the Executive branch, that must at all costs be addressed by all members of Congress.

Certainly the motion to impeach must come from the House, the process clearly known from any civics class, but that as a Senator you are not empowered to do anything about it – that is the thrust of the meaning your statements that now takes my attention, particularly the following points below:

“As a U.S. Senator, I do not have the authority to impeach the President.”

As a U.S. Senator you have the responsibility to uphold and defend the Constitution, with the power to establish statues that can bring the full power and weight of Congress and the Constitution to investigate the entire Executive branch, including the DoJ for determination of wrong-doing in very single case of manifest consequences from complains and petitions from any quarter. I will explain.

“Under current Department of Justice guidelines, the Attorney General may appoint a special counsel to investigate incidents involving sensitive matters or cases that may present a conflict of interest for the Department.”

Clearly, matters cannot be left in the hands of the DoJ, as we all know the DoJ and its leadership are involved in many criminal assaults on the American people, including the deaths of citizens and even members of the Border Patrol and Peace Officers and the aiding of incursions of illegal entrants and even terrorists, by some reports. This cannot go unanswered by the administration, Congress particularly, or to the people.

Oversight required by Congress unfulfilled puts Congress itself then as complicit – is that what we must contend with as well? no part of the government able to live up to the Constitution means it has no authority at all.

I must take issue with this particular statement:

“…no information has been found that would suggest criminal activity by the President.”

Assuming authority and the use of the force of the government beyond the powers bestowed on the office is indeed an offense and grows with every occurrence as it now has come to the manipulation of the other two branches, as in the case of ObamaCare (becoming law without being read by those who voted for it), and the 80,000 + pages of additional laws and regulations coming from it and the manner in which it came to be declared ‘not unconstitutional.’ And now 1.1T$ spending bill also made law without being read. Well outside the realm of honest governance.

But there is more and worse.

I should not have to invoke the gory specter of Benghazi as a point of enjoined wrongdoing on the part of both the President and the State Department, as especially precipitous from government agents of illegal covert operations and the stonewalling that also become entangled in the web.

The list is too long, NSA, IRS, FBI, DHS, EPA…, not just for the number of those on list but that it has grown to consume the totality of what our nation can produce, with nothing but imposed scarcity as a product. That, I assure you, cannot be seen as anything but a crime, from a multitude of interlocked criminal activities.

That may well be an indictment of those who would take the ‘official’ decision that there as been no wrongdoing, as complicit, with no regard for the rule of law, their oath of office or the consequences to us all.

“Due to the separation of powers enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, Congress does not have the power to appoint special counsels.”

Congress has already done as much for prior concerns of wrongdoing; it has the power to legislate whatever is required to indeed enforce those laws it has put in place as well as the requirements of the Constitution, as its principle job. The job that has so often, in these last years, been put aside for lesser things that are not clearly prescribed in the Constitution or in the least way suggested in the face of real and pressing need. As much an affront to common sense as the idea of a seniority system in the House of Representatives defies the title of that organ.

For Congress to not establish or not aid in the enforcement of the laws, or even refuse to do so, in the face of such rampant lawlessness, is itself a cause for great concern and need for correction – lest there be no Constitution of our Republic to defend or a function for Congress, even Congress itself, will entirely cease to exist.

The next created crisis, in this avalanche of created crises, will indeed advance no favored ideology – but may well destroy America as the land of the free in a land of abundance, now with a government divided and a people divided at their hands; open to be overrun by anyone so bold as to try. Indeed, if that is the agenda, it will be in a bloody devastating collapse.

As you must be fully aware of the encroachments on the requirements for the Federal government to guarantee protection of each states rights and the rights of the individual as a Republic, there must surely be adequate alarm raised at this point, to reverse a trend that began some 100 years ago. Slowly (until rather recently), incrementally and inexorably, we have moved to the point where nearly half of the county has become enamored with the forced redistribution of wealth from those who produce it to those who do not. Something not found in The American Constitution, nor in the Constitutions of any of its States, and quite abhorrent and contrary in so many of its manifestations on every citizen at all levels. The Tenth Amendment is not the only part that has been thrown out, along with the First, Second, Fourth and Fifth, I must stop with these five; again a list that is far too long.

Government spending has reached the point of failure to maintain its mandated purposeful function, fraught with arbitrary agendas with direct costs that outstrip those expenses that are required by legitimate obligations.

The Judiciary Committee has the purpose in its foundation and development to further protections of the Republic, but has fallen to the manipulations of the moment, fully politicized, as we can see from the subversion of the courts and the undermining of American Justice, even to the perversion of the ballot. The Judiciary Committee’s consideration and review of the nominees to fill lifetime appointments on the Federal judiciary is among the Senate’s most important functions, not as a rubber stamp to the Executive branch. This particular area is both broad and deep.

Congress itself has come to produce laws to protect the criminal activities of its members as well as criminals at large, to the extent it is enough to raise serious concerns for that alone.

Impeachments is not a tool to be used just for the actions or neglect of the President alone. Our form of government still exists by and for the consent (not mere acquiesce) of the people, subject to their review at all times. In these times, that review cannot be held off until such time as the people are left with no other alternative but to only then alter such an illegitimate government taking its place, which by then may not allow (in our unique case) a restoration of the Republic, with the extreme consequences seen in other lands through-out history in chaos and armed conflict.

For these reasons we cannot leave these issues for mere pointless debate, or a flurry of wide-ranged mindless propaganda, but resolve the problems in government first by those employed and entrusted to act on our behalf and demand a cure of a cancer that surely cannot be let to proceed to metastasize to every village and town; as all will have collapsed upon us, there will not be an America at all long before then.

There has been no response from my other ‘representatives,’ Pelosi, or Boxer, as they may be too occupied representing only the dead voters and non-citizens.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Dexter Massoletti, Sr.
