The national public needs to understand the reality of our most powerful predatory institution called the judiciary. This is where predation reigns supreme and remains unaccountable with judges above the law. The corruption is endemic- America’s justice system is a microcosm of widespread judicial corruption and dysfunction. My book: JUDICIAL CRIMINALS: The greatest Fraud Upon American Society – America’s Legal System was written to compel Michigan state legislators to conduct oversight hearings with citizen testimony.

Under President Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is expected to focus more intently on white collar enforcement than it did under the Trump administration. Fraud and abuse related to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) have already received considerable attention from authorities and this is almost certain to continue and accelerate in the months ahead. Both institutions and individuals have already been targeted for enforcement actions and everyone who has been involved in a PPP loan application should be cognizant of emerging enforcement trends.
