Governor Inslee: On October 23, 2014, by USPS Certified Mail No. 7005 1160 0002 7205 7490, you received a request from the people’ on Stevens County to instruct Attorney General, Bob Ferguson, to investigate and charge Timothy Rasmussen, Stevens County “prosecutor”, for Official Misconduct and Kendle Allen, usurper of the office of Stevens County Sheriff, for various violations of Washington law. On November 6, 2014, by USPS Certified Mail No. 7005 1160 0002 7205 7506, you received instructions from the people to carry out your fiduciary duties, namely to empower the Attorney General to investigate and criminally charge Timothy Rasmussen and Kendle Allen for various crimes, upon verified criminal complaints, brought by a dozen people on Stevens County. The people also requested a Grand jury be summoned to investigate criminal activity by elected persons in Stevens County. According to Assistant Attorney General, Scott A. Marlow®, RCW 43.10.232 (1)(b) requires the Governor to “request of” the Attorney General to “investigate crimes and initiate and conduct prosecutions”. Criminal complaints were sent to you and the Attorney General by the people on Stevens County with full authority briefed therein as to the power of the people to initiate and make such criminal complaints.

When you" have constructive knowledge’, backed by verified criminal complaints of lawlessness in Stevens County by elected persons, you have a duty, an obligation, to take every step necessary to see that justice is done. When you have constructive knowledge of lawless persons masquerading as “public officials” operating “government” in Stevens County and then you and A.G. Bob Ferguson simply ignore, turn a blind eye, or, in any way delay taking investigative and prosecutorial actions, it is called obstruction of justice’ and the people are deprived of their rights to be governed according to the rule of law. We remind you, Governor, of your fiduciary duty and your sworn oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the state of Washington, an integral part of which is to protect individual rights. "Decency, security and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperilled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our Government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for il, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. if the Government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. .. to declare that the Government may commit crimes ... would bring terrible retribution. Against that pernicious doctrine this Court should resolutely set its face.” Olmstead v. United States, 277 US 438 — 1928, Justice Louis Brandeis descenting. It is your duty to request the A.G. to first investigate and then prosecute. The people await your action and response. Silence will be your tacit admission you will not uphold your oath. This would be insurrection and rebellion against the Constitutions of the United States and the state of Washington. Furthermore, We the People on Stevens County no longer consent to be governed by lawbreakers in Stevens County or in the State of Washington “Before bringing the dozen criminal complaints against Kendle Allen to you and Bob Ferguson, they were Presented to Timothy Rasmussen and the Stevens County Superior Court Administrator, Evelyn Bell, to schedule a probable hearing before a duly qualified Superior Court Judge. Both offices just ignored the Criminal Complaints, ‘and, by their silence, demonstrated a willingness to take the risk of being charged as co-conspirators to cover-up of Griminal activity in Stevens County. * see footnote 1. © When you, Governor, have verified complaints and do nothing to investigate and/or warn other unsuspecting People in Stevens County, who are being violated or deprived of their rights on a daily basis, you become an accessory to criminal activities and cover-up, You are deprived of plausible deniability or immunity. 7 Hindering, Delaying, or Obstruction of Justice ~Title 18 section 241 and 242 and other appropriate federal laws “sustice delayed is justice denied.” William €.

In addition to my office’s inability to respond to what I believed to be a request for legal advice on how to address your concems regarding officials in Stevens County, my office is also unable to fulfill your request for a criminal investigation of those officials. ‘The legal parameters of the Washington Attorney General’s Office in criminal matters are set forth in RCW 43.10.232. Pursvant to this statute, the Attomey General’s Office in this state may only exercise criminal jurisdiction upon the request of the elected county prosecutor or others, aS noted below. For your convenience, { am providing you with the complete text of the statute that confers jurisdiction on the Attorney General’s office: RCW 43.10,232 Concurrent authority to investigate crimes and initiate and conduct prosecutions (1) The attomey general shall have concurrent authority and power with the prosecuting attorneys to investigate crimes and initiate and conduct prosecutions upon the request of or with the concurrence of any of the following: (a) The county prosecuting attorney of the jurisdiction in which the offense has ocurred; (b) The governor of the State of Washington; or (©) A majority of the committee charged with the oversight of the organized crime intelligence unit. (2) Such request or concurrence shall be communicated in viriting to the attorney general (3) Prior to any prosecution by the attomey general under this section, the attomey general and the county in which the offense occurred shall reach an agreement regarding the payment of all costs, including expert witness fees, and defense attorneys’ fees associated with any such prosecution.As you can see, the terms of this statute restrict my ability to initiate a criminal investigation or prosecution until and unless f am requested to do So by the people or agencies specified in the statute, In fact, to conduct such an investigation without jurisdiction would itself be a violation of state law. Lam sorry that I was unable to be of more direct assistance and that I apparently did not fully answer your initial concerns previously. | hope that you understand the limited role that my office is legally bound to play in such matters. a, tt A.
