Randi Mastro, Esq.'s Overbilling of N.J. Taxpayers.

March 31, 2016 at 1:53 P.M. A package containing 40 pages was sent via overnight mail to the Director of the NSA under tracking number: EL 00749898 US.

An identical package of materials (including this blog post) was sent via overnight mail to New Jersey's Chief Justice under tracking number: EL 007749907 US. 

Delivery of these items will take place not later than 12:00 Noon on April 1, 2016. 

I do not expect the courtesy of a reply from these officials. It is never certain whether I will be able to return to these blogs.

Evidence of serious computer and Internet as well as other crimes committed against me (and others) over a period of years has been received by the following officials in the USA:

U.S. Attorney General.
U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice.
Director of the FBI.
Director of the CIA.
NYPD Commissioner.
Manhattan District Attorney.
N.Y. State Attorney General.

As of April, 2016 no response has been received by me or others to these communications. 

Persons contemplating providing information to U.S. authorities on delicate and personally dangerous security matters -- nationally and internationally -- must wonder whether such risks are worthwhile under these circumstances. 

I can not answer such questions. I will continue to write.  

March 15, 2016 at 3:04 P.M. The water in my building was shut off again (without warning) delaying my arrival at NYPL computers. I will do my best to continue writing. 

Obstacles made writing impossible yesterday. I will try again today.

The following essay with one hundred sources attached focusing on New Jersey corruption, judicial incompetence and criminality together with unethical governmental practices, will be sent to the National Security Agency (NSA) by overnight mail. 

The tracking number for the package containing these materials will be posted so that readers may follow the delivery of all items to that agency. 

Also attached to the essay will be examples of computer and Internet crime that may be traced to the very New Jersey officials often referred to in my writings.

I do not expect a response from the NSA. 

A copy of the package sent to the NSA with attachments will also be sent to N.J. Chief Justice Stuart Rabner via overnight mail. ("Stuart Rabner's Selective Sense of Justice.")

This U.S. Post Office tracking number will also be posted for readers to follow the delivery of the documents to Trenton.

It is possible that such a public fact will make it more difficult for Mr. Rabner and his tribunal to deny all knowledge of my matters. Perhaps a good place to begin dealing with this situation is by telling the full truth to all victims, Mr. Rabner. ("Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Ricciolli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture.") 

I do not expect a response from Mr. Rabner, nor from the N.J. Supreme Court and OAE. I do expect a response from a federal official in New York.  

Alterations in the size of letters and other deformations of this text are always expected.

Overbilling amounts to fraud and theft comparable to dipping into the trust account. There are no ethics proceedings against Mr. Mastro or his firm at this time due to political protection. The OAE is ignoring the matter because they are busy going after minority solos who charge $500 for an uncontested divorce unless, of course, you give OAE lawyers some cash under the table.

(New Jersey continues racial profiling on highways despite court orders prohibiting the practice. "Albert Florence and New Jersey's Racism" and "Driving While Black in New Jersey.")

"The outside law firm hired to conduct an internal investigation into the bridgegate scandal overbilled New Jersey by more than $2.8 MILLION, claim two legislators who headed hearings on the 2013 lane shutdowns at the George Washington Bridge, and they want the money back." (TSL, 3-1-16, p. 1.)

Normally issues concerning fraud leading to theft by lawyers would be matters for the legal ethics establishment in Trenton to take up. ("New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System" and "New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics.")

New Jersey's legal ethics office -- this phrase alone usually causes laughter -- is so tainted by corruption and allegations of political partisanship, bribery, and notorious double standards that they have not been invited (nor have they chosen) to look into this matter at this time. ("New Jersey Lawyers' Ethics Farce" and "New Jersey's Politically Connected Lawyers On the Tit.")

It may be that the OAE and New Jersey Supreme Court have been bought off (or intimidated) to "look the other way" in the most corrupt court system in the nation where a former Chief Justice of the state Supreme Court is alleged to have traded judicial favors for lesbian sex; another Chief Justice promoted racial profiling; and the current Chief Justice may have accepted cash from convicted swindler Solomon Dwek ("The Rabbi's Son"); while yet another member of the court is alleged to be affiliated with the mob; and still another member of the same court had to resign -- or allow his term to expire -- because of an ethics scandal. ("New Jersey Supreme Court's Implosion" and "New Jersey's Judges Disgrace America.")  

Perhaps the human filth one finds in New Jersey's legal profession and judiciary may even hire someone to throw acid in a critic's face. Pronouncements concerning one's ethics from such frauds are unworthy of respect. ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics.")

New Jersey's ongoing child abuse scandals have engulfed lawyers, judges, and cops. Child abuse and rape are not "O.K." if the culprit is a lesbian or a Jew for that matter. And this includes rabbis, Ms. Poritz. ("New Jersey Welcomes Child Molesters" and "New Jersey is the Home of Child Molesters" then "Have you no shame, Mr. Rabner?")

Mafia goons have infiltrated most agencies of government, including prosecutors' offices, and the state's judges have been described as "among the worst in terms of obvious incompetence" and inefficiency as well as notorious cover-ups and idiotic lies. ("Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics.")

"U.S. District Judge Susan Weginton, who is handling that widely anticipated [Bridgegate] trial, has sharply criticized Gibson, Dunn [Mr. Mastro's law firm] over its handling of interview notes during its taxpayer funded investigation -- material defense attorneys pushed hard to obtain, but were told [falsely] no longer existed. [The OAE has also tried to destroy and cover-up evidence of its misdeeds in my matters, then lied about what they have done and failed to do as regards disclosing the truth.] The judge found that while Gibson, Dunn did not delete or shred those notes, it DELIBERATELY would overwrite documents, effectively destroying any drafts." (TSL, 3-1-16, p. 6, emphasis added.)

This tactic amounts to deception and borders on obstruction of justice. 

Crimes committed by any lawyers should result in disbarments and indictments, but nothing will happen to these guys because they are connected insiders in New Jersey. ("New Jersey's Tainted Legal Ethics" and "Is America's legal ethics a lie?")

The federal judge's comments clearly makes the actions of these attorneys subject to an ethics investigation. 

If Judge Weginton is correct -- I agree with her conclusions as reported in the media -- the attorneys at Gibson, Dunn (including Mr. Mastro, Rudy Giuliani's buddy) should be facing ethics sanctions, or worse. Curiously, nothing is happening to these lawyers. ("Two New Jersey Lawyers in School Lunch Scam.")

The fix is in because of "contributions" made by these very same lawyers to Republican politicians, like Mr. Christie, and/or under the table cash payments to the likes of Mr. Rabner and other Republican judges, allegedly:

" ... the state Attorney General's office released new invoices totaling $2.3 million from Seros, Friedberg, added to the $8 million already billed by Gibson, Dunn, which charged the sate $350.00 an hour per attorney." (TSL, 3-1-16, p. 6.)

The lawyers scamming these funds have told the two state legislators asking for reimbursals to get lost and are refusing to reimburse a penny to New Jersey's suffering taxpayers. ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.") 

The OAE is still primarily concerned about solo practitioners charging $500.00 for an uncontested divorce. Meanwhile, New Jersey state guidelines for "farmed out" legal work prohibit law firms from billing more than 10 hours of attorney time (per attorney) on a daily basis. Mr. Mastro billed 14 hours per day, and (perhaps) another 14 hours as "overtime" in a 24 hour day, like Port Authority lawyers and good old Herb Klitzner, Esq. of North Bergen. ("Herbert Klitzner, Esq.'s Greed and New Jersey's Hypocrisy.")

Conflict of interest issues are also obvious: These same lawyers donated $65,000 to Mr. Christie's campaign efforts -- while supposedly "investigating" his actions -- revealing just how "cozy" they all happen to be:

"Among the attorneys who worked on the [GWB] inquiry was Debra Wong" -- Is Ms. Wong a Debbie Poritz-like lesbian? -- "a partner at the firm and a close friend of the governor, [emphasis added] who hosted a fund raiser for Christie." (TSL, 3-1-16, p. 6.)

Has Ms. Wong been linked, romantically, with Kim Guardagno, Esq.? Diana Lisa Riccioli? ("Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Diana's Friend Goes to Prison!" then "Marilyn Straus Was Right.")  

In light of this typical filth, Mr. Rabner, do you speak to me of "ethics"? ("Stuart Rabner's Selective Sense of Justice" and "Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

Joe Ferreiro asked me to meet with him in his office about yanking one of my files. Ferreiro backed off that request, but he probably arranged to have a former Bergen County Prosecutor take over the matter, no doubt at the behind-the-back request of Boss Bob Menendez. Ferreiro served on the ethics committee and has been linked to the mob in New Jersey. Menendez is indicted and on his way to join Ferreiro in the federal pen.
