HOW TO HIDE GOVERNMENT FRAUD FACTS AND DECISIONS

QUESTION 1 OF 2:

Q: How can I prevent the general public from reading all of the "material facts" learned and disclosed within qui tam lawsuits involving "defective parts and systems", "defective, substandard or incomplete services", "fraud on the government" and "public fisc" or "public tax dollars"?

    A: You don't have to. The Congress exempted this information from disclosure to the taxpayers and interested general public.

      31 CFR §3729(d) - Liability for certain acts. Exemption from disclosure. - All information furnished pursuant to subparagraph (A) thru (C) of subsection (a) shall be exempt from disclosure under section 552 of title 5 (the Freedom of Information Act.)

      31 USC § 3733 (k) - Civil investigative demands ("CID") - Disclosure Exemption. - Any documentary material, answers to written interrogatories, or oral testimony provided under any civil investigative demand issued under subsection (a) shall be exempt from disclosure under section 552 of title 5 (the Freedom of Information Act.)

QUESTION 2 OF 2:

Q: I interested in researching (1) the amount of tax dollars lost to fraud and how much is recovered in lawsuits, and (2) the pattern of how "Whistleblower" or qui tam cases are handled by the U.S. Department of Justice and in the District Courts. I can not find much information in the law library's law books. There are billions of our tax dollars involved. What's up?

    A: Federal judges have repeatedly and affirmatively decided that these fraud lawsuit, involving billions of your tax dollars, are definitely not "opinions that may in any way interest persons other than the parties to a case ." Otherwise, their own rules require them to be published. The federal district judges, as members of each judicial panel, state that to publish them "imposes needless expense on the public and burdens on the legal profession ." They presuppose that the public loss of millions of public fisc tax dollars are not of significant public interest, nor is the shady behavior of the government in handling these cases a factual or legal issue of significant public interest. Also this case history must not explain, criticize, or review the history of existing or decisional law or, by their own rules, it would be published.
