IRN’s lawyers have received a copy of Atlanta, GA lawyer Ulysses T. Ware’s recent submission to the U.S. District Court in Manhattan. Mr. Ware is seeking to hold Mr. Damian Williams, federal judge Edgardo Ramos, Mr. Merrick Garland, the U.S. Attorney General, and other DOJ prosecutors in civil and criminal contempt for alleged “egregious willful violation of the Brady Court Orders” and “Court Judgments” according to the claims in the court filing. In the filings Mr. Ware claimed that the U.S. Attorney’s Office (SDNY), DOJ’s prosecutors, and others deliberately and willfully withheld, suppressed, and concealed material Brady exculpatory evidence that proved his innocence of all charges in the “bogus” and “fraudulent” indictments obtained by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.

IRN’s lawyers and investigators have reviewed Mr. Ware’s claims and the “clear and convincing evidence” attached to the criminal contempt filing and conclude that Mr. Ware is absolutely correct that material Brady exculpatory and impeachment evidence was deliberately suppressed and concealed by the DOJ’s prosecutors and the federal judges assigned to his cases, Robert W. Sweet (deceased) and Williams H. Pauley, III (deceased).

Mr. Ware’s civil and criminal contempt filing raises a very serious and existential threat to Mr. Williams, Judge Ramos, Chief Judge Laura Taylor-Swain, and the U.S. Attorney General Mr. Garland, officers of the court. How is it possible that Mr. Williams and Mr. Garland, a former federal judge, can remain in their respective positions at the U.S. Department of Justice and at the same time be guilty of willful and bad faith suppression and concealment of Brady exculpatory evidence in willful resistance and violation of Brady Court Orders and Court Judgments? Criminal contempt of the Brady Court Orders and Court Judgments is a crime, a high crime and misdemeanor, that will likely cause Mr. Williams, Mr. Garland, Judge Ramos, and Chief Judge Taylor-Swain to face impeachment charges and criminal prosecution if the law is enforced as it was fraudulently enforced against Mr. Ware. This case is a no-win situation for Mr. Garland, the U.S. Attorney General.

IRN retained a retired U.S. federal judge, an expert in U.S. law and procedure, to review and advise IRN on Mr. Ware’s claims. According to IRN’s experts, Chief District Judge Laura Taylor-Swain is now faced with enforcing Local Rule District Court (SDNY) Rule 1.5(b)(5) against the lawyers named in Mr. Ware’s filing; which is a very serious and dubious circumstance for Chief Judge Taylor-Swain. On the one hand, she is likely a ‘team player’ and will probably attempt to stall and delay performing her official duties and obligations of convening the required Disciplinary Committee to investigate Mr. Ware’s credible claims. On the other hand, Judge Taylor-Swain has personal and official liability under the Federal Tort Claim Act for abuse of process, deceit, misrepresentation, and fraud on the court if she acts with a evil and criminal motive and stalls and delays the required investigation of the DOJ’s prosecutors and the lawyers that were involved in Mr. Ware’s cases.

Thus, in either case, Judge Taylor-Swain has potential liability for aiding and abetting the continued willful resistance of the “Brady Court Orders” and the “Court Judgments” which is a crime that Judge Taylor-Swain is required to be criminally prosecuted according to Title 18 Sections 401(2) and 401(3) of the U.S. Code; notwithstanding an egregious violation of the Code of Conduct for Federal Judges, i.e., indisputable judicial misconduct.

IRN’s lawyers and investigators will continue to investigate and provide commentary and reporting on the ongoing criminal contempt proceedings in the Manhattan federal courts concerning Judge Edgardo Ramos, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams, Chief Judge Taylor-Swain, and the U.S. Attorney General, Mr. Merrick Garland.
