FBI Complaint Filed!

To the Citizens of New Hampshire:

For years, the promise of open government and equal justice under the law has been a foundational pillar of our state's identity. But what happens when the very watchdogs sworn to uphold the criminal code join forces to protect public officials who lie under oath, falsify government records, and subvert the judiciary?

We now have our answer.

I recently filed formal, comprehensive criminal complaints with the Brentwood Police Department, Rockingham County Attorney Patricia Conway, and the New Hampshire Department of Justice (led by Attorney General John Formella and Public Integrity Unit Director Thomas Velardi). The complaint wasn't based on rumor or political rhetoric; it was backed by irrefutable, public court records: official sworn affidavits, contradictory administrative filings, and verbatim trial transcripts.

The evidence provided to prosecutors included the smoking gun captured right in the official trial transcript from March 28, 2024 (Town of Newmarket v. Jeffrey Clay). During that hearing, Town Counsel John Ratigan openly confessed on the record that municipal officials bypassed public notice and conducted secret, unrecorded serial email polls of Town Council members to forge a backdoor settlement contract—a direct, undeniable violation of New Hampshire’s Right-to-Know law (RSA 91-A:3) and Supreme Court precedent (Ettinger v. Madison).

Furthermore, the complaint documented how Town Manager Stephen Fournier submitted sworn affidavits and formal Right-to-Know responses swearing that no deliberations occurred and no records existed—statements flatly contradicted by his own attorneys' subsequent filings before the Ombudsman and the courts. Under New Hampshire law (RSA Chapter 641), making false material statements under oath to a tribunal is perjury and false swearing, and suppressing records when litigation is expected is felony-level evidence tampering (RSA 638:1).

How did local and state law enforcement respond when handed clear-cut proof of felonies committed inside the Rockingham County Superior Court?

They ran for cover.

The Brentwood Police Department—acting under instructions piped down from the New Hampshire Department of Justice—sent me an email attempting to shunt a felony criminal complaint off to the Attorney Discipline Office (ADO) in Concord. For those who don't know, the ADO is an administrative ethics board that handles lawyer advertising and client fee disputes; it has zero police powers, cannot execute search warrants, and cannot enforce the criminal code.

When local police tell a citizen reporting courthouse perjury to call an administrative ethics board, it is an explicit admission of institutional cowardice. It proves that law enforcement agencies view public officials and defense lawyers as untouchable elites who operate above ordinary criminal statutes.

When local police abdicate their duties, when county prosecutors look the other way, and when the State Attorney General’s Public Integrity Unit acts as a shield for corruption rather than a sword against it, the justice system is broken.

We can no longer rely on state-level watchdogs who treat public corruption as an inconvenience to be swept under the rug. Consequently, I have officially escalated these criminal complaints and filed with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Boston Field Office (Chelsea, MA) and its Public Corruption Task Force.

When local enablers refuse to investigate, federal oversight steps in. The citizens of New Hampshire deserve a government that obeys its own laws, and accountability is coming.
