By: Opt IN USA On behalf of Opt IN USA, attorney Zena Crenshaw-Logal* Crenshaw-Logal and Jackson elaborate for Senators Grassely and Wyden on "a synergy of quiescent lawyers and judges, subdued by the prospect of retaliatory professional discipline; ineffective federal agencies such as the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Office of Special Counsel; America's beleaguered Public Defender system; the stealth but distinct oppression and mental torture attendant to (persistent U.S. legal system abuse); undue insulation of U.S. government officials from accountability; Having successfully filed amici briefs in the Carson appeal, Crenshaw-Logal and Jackson interject, "OSC simply claims that regardless of whether it complied with its non-discretionary statutory duties to protect Mr. Carson, such act(s) and/or omission(s) did not cause a 'significant change in working conditions,' so he has no recourse." They add, "(b)y making such an argument to a federal court in a whistleblower reprisal appeal, we submit that Lerner disqualifies herself from further consideration for a second term as U.S. Special Counsel." Opt IN USA's letter of August 2, 2016 to Senators Grassely and Wyden is accessible online @ https://www.dropbox.com/ The campaign's April 2016 press release on the Carson appeal is accessible @ https://www.prlog.org/ End
