UPDATE…NEW ARTICLE ABOUT TASK FORCE
We, the undersigned families and friends of loved ones prosecuted and incarcerated under the Obama Administration’s “Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force” declare every indictment and prosecution under that initiative “suspect.” The task force was created November 17, 2009. See https://www.fincen.gov/financial-fraud-enforcement-task-force-ffetf The name sounds like something good for society, however, it is anything but. The task force unnecessarily destroyed thousands of legitimate investments and enterprises that needed only time to fully develop. The task force destroyed families and reputations. It packed prisons with innocent men, women, and local community leaders. The Obama Administration launched this task force to placate the public after the Great Recession which began in 2008. Instead of holding those who caused the Great Recession to account, the Obama Administration went after easy targets who would be unable to retain counsel capable of actually mounting a meaningful defense. We hold that most of the 10,000 prosecutions were all for “show” and were contrived miscarriages of justice. We further believe these prosecutions reveal the Obama Administration’s fundamental contempt for private industry. The Obama administration then exerted the full weight of the United States government to establish an anti-small business narrative which ultimately led to the “socialism is good” nonsense permeating today’s public discourse. We respectfully ask President Trump to nullify most, if not all prosecutions brought under the malicious and corrupt intent of the Obama task force. We hold these prosecutions to be fruit of the poisonous tree. It is simply impossible to believe so many law-abiding citizens decided one day after Mr. Obama became president to become criminals over their reputations and livelihoods. It simply did not happen the way the Obama Justice Department said it did. Further, we hold that if there are financial losses, those losses are the result of reckless and negligent prosecutions. But for such prosecutions, investors would likely have enjoyed a favorable outcome by now. All that was needed was a little business wisdom coupled with time. The Obama Administration caused this devastation to investors. President Trump…we respectfully ask you to nullify every indictment or commute/pardon every man and woman caught in this malicious Obama snare affecting a shocking number of innocent Americans.

“The common thread through it all is a cabal of narcissistic federal prosecutors who broke all the rules and rose to power…and [along with] other members of Obama’s inner circle – are wreaking havoc on our Republic.” Sidney Powell, JD, author of Licensed to Lie – Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice. www.sidneypowell.com
“[Sidney Powell] reveals a house of ‘legal’ horrors characterized by sacrificing [innocent men and women], concealing and altering evidence, ignoring the law, and constantly displaying an ego-driven desire to win at all costs.” Michael Adams, PhD, introduction to Licensed to Lie.
“Prison populations have skyrocketed. So has society’s ills. Our prison system today is what surgery was in the mid-1800’s (no anesthesia or antibiotics). Primative and harmful. The government packs inmates in jails and prisons, later sends them out to the world infected with every evil imaginable, and society contracts the disease. What is the result? More prisoners.” Matthew Hutcheson, author of Quinny, chapter 33. www.quinnythebook.com
“Our sentences are too long, our sentences too severe, our sentences too harsh… there is no compassion in the system.” Justice Anthony Kennedy before U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, February 14, 2007.
“The cost of so many good people being taken from their families far outweighs theindividual, family, social, and economic consequences of putting these people behind bars. There is a better way. We, as citizens of this great country, are obliged to try and solve this problem before taking the drastic steps of throwing these men away – who are fathers, sons, brothers, grandfathers, uncles, nephews, and friends – and forgetting that they exist. They can no longer be “the forgotten men and women of this country.” (President Trump, 2018)” Hutcheson, Annette, Prison Reform: The Cost of Prison for Inmates, Families, and Society (September 30, 2018).
