    Where are the Heroes? Episode 10
    Apr 14 2025
    Welcome back to the “Where are the Heroes?” podcast series. I am Beau Johnson, the author of The End of Justice.In the last episode, we heard from Orlando Carter and, based upon his comments, we know PNC Bank lied about the existence of a $4 million loan when it submitted a Suspicious Activity Report to the Federal Government. We know the FBI and DOJ advanced a false theory of prosecution into the court system. This entire deception was further complicated when Glassman and Parker lied in 2018 by stating that the evidence of the $4 million loan was shredded.We are left with two questions. First, how is it possible that the Federal Government was wrong about something that is easily proved? Second, why is it that no one with the requisite authority will rectify this matter in the interests of truth and justice?Regarding the first query, we must accept that the government is arrogance to the point of being untamed. Let’s use the analogy of herding cats. As the Department of Justice currently functions, it is impossible to control 93 arrogant US Attorneys and thousands of investigators. If the Attorney General of the United States does not apply appropriate oversight over what are criminal acts by federal officials, those who wield prosecutorial and investigative authority will, like feral cats, roam and destroy at will. Consequently, people like Orlando Carter will be unjustly prosecuted. Providing for strict oversight over a herd of US Attorneys is a must. It is not enough to expect supposedly experienced US Attorneys to govern themselves according to their oaths and ethical standards.For example, we must conclude that the original US Attorney, Gregory Lockhart, was not held to account for his questionable choices and actions. Just the opposite. Lockhart roamed beyond truth and into the hinterlands of lies. Yet, he received praise from on high as the system supported his efforts and Carter’s guilty conviction. When the system does not focus on truth, wayward US Attorneys, who are drawn to the scent of trophy convictions, will foster what is false and unjust.Regarding the second question, after an unjust conviction is secured by the DOJ, those with titles and authority will assert that, by law, they cannot investigate what is a criminal decision within the courts. However, what if the courts are complicit with the injustice? Absolutely nothing. Those with power, bad actors, and the system, to include the courts, are not held accountable.This supposed “law,” which allegedly prevents elected representatives from getting involved with criminal court cases, serves as a means of self-preservation. As such, if pubic officials are able to refuse help, the injustice continues. However, what happens if an official is asked to assist with an ancillary matter that does not require a direct challenge to a criminal case? Sadly, not much at all. He will seek an answer from the responsible agency and nothing more. Once he receives a reply, he will forward it and consider the matter closed. He serves as nothing more than a middleman, a glorified secretary.Let me give you an illustration. In the year 2018, I asked Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia to review not the criminal conviction against Carter, but the conflict between the Departments of Justice and Treasury concerning the non-existence of the $4 million loan. Since Kaine saw the conflict between PNC Bank’s admission to the Department of the Treasury and the court conviction, he was compelled to send a query to the DOJ. When Kaine received a response from the DOJ stating that the guilty conviction was secured fairly, what did Kaine do? He sent me a letter, attached the agency’s response, and washed his hands of the matter. He did not delve into the obvious conflict between two federal agencies. Was Kaine at all intrigued? Was he moved to investigate an injustice? No. Kaine did nothing to advance truth or exonerate an innocent man. Kaine did what he could do without resolving the obvious conflicts. He considered the matter closed.In another example, Orlando Carter recently asked Congresswoman Beatty from Ohio to investigate the non-existence of the $4 million loan. Beatty went through the formalities by asking the DOJ to respond to this issue. Once again, the DOJ gave her a boilerplate statement explaining that Carter was convicted and justice had been served. Beatty then sent the DOJ’s perfunctory response to Carter and closed the matter. She refused to seek truth. She performed as a glorified secretary.Let’s now consider the following development. A year after Carter contacted Congresswoman Beatty, the Ohio chapter of the NAACP researched the government’s case against Carter. Knowing of the obvious conflicts, the NAACP then approached Beatty. Quite curiously, if only because the NAACP raised the concern, Beatty, at least by appearances, treated the matter with more importance. She wrote to Attorney General Garland and asked that they investigate ...

    Where are the Heroes? Episode 8
    Aug 19 2024
    Welcome back to the “Where are the Heroes?” podcast series. I am Beau Johnson, the author of The End of Justice. I am recording this episode on the coast of Mexico, so please excuse the background noise.In the last episode, I explained how Benjamin Glassman, former United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, and Kenneth Parker, current US Attorney, lied to the public in 2018 about shredding documents that do not exist and never existed. Moreover, because of their lie, they failed to dignify an admission from PNC Bank that there was no $4 million loan and a finding from the Department of the Treasury as to the same fact. The repercussions were devastating. Glassman and Parker were expected to seek the truth in Ohio, but they avoided the truth like the plague and kept an innocent man in prison.In this episode, we will discuss my attempts to hold Glassman and Parker accountable for their lies and how the system failed to investigate them. I will also discuss in greater detail the role of Kenneth Parker. I want to be clear about an important point. After some three plus years as US Attorney, Parker, after receiving my direct request that he provide proof of the shredding of these alleged loan documents, has not responded.In the last episode, I spoke about the inefficiency of the system that is the Federal Government. Unfortunately, the system is problematic when holding public officials accountable for their criminal conduct or gross incompetence. This means the system fails to provide a solution for anyone suffering from abuse or wrongdoing by public officials. Whether Glassman and Parker acted criminally or incompetently, Orlando Carter is still seeking an answer for his unjust conviction and the lie stated by Glassman and Parker about shredding evidence that does not exist and never existed.Let me explain with a timeline and supporting documents which you will find attached.· You will recall that in January and March of 2017, I received investigative findings from the OCC confirming that a $4 million loan did not exist between PNC Bank and Carter or his company. These documents were posted in a prior episode.· I then spoke with Glassman and Parker in 2018 in their Cincinnati office. They began the meeting by proclaiming that the evidence of a $4 million loan had been shredded by the DOJ.· On December 28, 2018, Glassman responded to our concerns with a letter explaining why Carter was justly convicted. You may recall that he summarily dismissed the significance of what we deemed to be new evidence by the OCC. I uploaded Glassman’s letter in a prior episode.· Since Glassman and Parker did not help Carter in the least, and without any other recourse, in March of 2020, I filed a complaint against Glassman with the BAR Association at the Supreme Court of Ohio. The BAR Association responded that the proper agency to receive a complaint against a US Attorney was the Office of Professional Responsibility with the Department of Justice.· So, I filed a complaint against Glassman with the Office of Professional Responsibility. When the OPR responded that they were not the proper agency, I filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.· None of these agencies assisted and disavowed being the proper party to investigate Glassman’s crime.· In the summer of 2021, I learned about Parker’s nomination to become US Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio under President Biden.· In October 2021, I penned an open letter to Biden. I then penned a Press Release concerning a controversy between Butler County and Kenneth Parker as it relates to the alleged $4 million loan. That same month, I penned a Press Release concerning the nomination of Kenneth Parker with an emphasis on Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz is a member of the Judiciary Committee which was responsible for approving and advancing all nominations for US Attorneys to the full Senate.· At the end of October 2021, I flew to San Antonio, Texas, to speak with Senator Cruz’ Chief of Staff. My efforts were to no avail. Parker’s nomination advanced from the committee to a full Senate vote and he was confirmed as US Attorney.· When Parker was confirmed as US Attorney, I sent him a letter on December 6, 2021 and asked that he prove that the DOJ destroyed the alleged evidence of a $4 million loan.· To ensure that I received an answer, I submitted a FOIA request on December 7, 2021.· Parker responded to my FOIA on December 20, 2021, by stating that my request would be sent to the Executive Office of the United States Attorneys.· Since then, I have emailed the Executive Office of US Attorneys several times and have not received a response. The Federal Government remains silent on this issue, ...
