Former IRS CID Special Agent Joseph Banister Acquitted of Tax Fraud And
ConspiracyGovernment Unable To Prove U.S. Law Requires Income Tax Withholding or
FilingVideo & More Details Tomorrow...
Sacramento California -- On Thursday June 23, a federal jury found
former IRS Criminal Investigative Division (CID) Special Agent and CPA
Joseph Banister not guilty of all counts alleging criminal tax fraud and
conspiracy related to actions he took on behalf of a California business
owner who had openly defied the IRS over several years by stopping
withholding of all income and employment taxes from the paychecks of his
workers.During the trial the Department of Justice was unable to put forth any
evidence that Banister had either engaged in a conspiracy or had acted
unlawfully when he shared legal research with business owner Al Thompson
concluding that he had no legal obligation to withhold taxes from his
workers or when he (Banister) prepared corrected tax returns for
Thompson claiming his taxable income was, under U.S. law, zero.During the trial, Banister's former supervisor at IRS's San Jose CID
office, Robert Gorini (who testified via video recording) when pointedly
asked, was unable to cite any U.S. law that required Banister to pay
income taxes.Banister, who was forced to resign in 1999, gave Thompson's worker's a
presentation in 2000 which reviewed his detailed investigative research
of U.S. tax law which concluded that not only did the IRS lack any
authority to impose income taxes on the workers, but there was no legal
requirement for the business to withhold any taxes from the worker's
paychecks.Banister is part of a nationwide effort seeking to force the U.S.
Government to respond to a series of detailed legal Petitions for
Redress of Grievances directly challenging the authority of the IRS.
Last summer, the We The People Foundation initiated a landmark lawsuit
with 2000 plaintiffs against the government because it has refused to
answer the Petitions.The Right-To-Petition lawsuit, of which Banister is a plaintiff, is the
first time in history that U.S. courts have been asked to define the
meaning of the final ten words of the First Amendment.Court documents for the RTP lawsuit and scholarly research regarding the
Right to Petition can be downloaded from the Lawsuit Information Center
on www.GiveMeLiberty.org <http://www.GiveMeLiberty.org> .Following the verdict, Banister was greeted by a throng of WTP
supporters and members of his family.Tomorrow, WTP will publish additional details of this important news and
stream video of post-verdict interviews of Banister & several of the
jurors.Support Joe Banister:
