Constitutional law (AKA Common Law) is being restored! Today, there was a civil grand jury hearing calling out government corruption. I testified about State of CA corruption. I start at 3-hours, 36-minutes, 35-seconds:
Here is the full verified affidavit, which contains the specific citations to all the evidence cited in the oral and written testimonies. All of the evidence cited can also be found here:
Here is the legal notice offering 7-days for the government to submit rebuttals to the allegations presented.
Written Testimony
Note: The oral testimony was limited to three-minutes, so my written, submitted testimony was longer and more detailed. The footnotes section of the PDF in the verified affidavit linked above contains the source material for the citations cited..
Members of the Civil Grand Jury, my name is Christine Grab. I stand before you to testify regarding systemic institutional corruption, procedural fraud, and an absolute failure of oversight within the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB). What began as a blatant accounting failure evolved into an aggressive, state-sponsored campaign of extortion, legal deception, and retaliation. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]
I am here to present hard, undisputed proof of criminal schemes designed to overcharge California taxpayers and evade judicial accountability. [2]
Part I: The Genesis of the Extortion (2008–2016)
Between 2008 and 2016, the FTB weaponized administrative incompetence to fabricate tax liabilities. [1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]
• The “Lost” Monies: The FTB cashed and cleared 20 payments made by my husband and me. They subsequently “lost” 16 of them, scrubbing the funds from our account ledger. [3]
• Ignored Evidence: We submitted physical copies of our cancelled checks 33 times. The FTB ignored this paper trail [4, 5, 6].
• Coerced Demands: The agency aggressively harassed and coerced us to pay tens of thousands of dollars above our actual tax liability. [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]
• Fraudulent Penalties: They intentionally imposed late fees, penalties, and interest based entirely on the delays caused by their own accounting failures. [4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13]
• Severe Physical Toll: I suffer from a rare kidney disease. This relentless financial harassment drove me to the brink of complete kidney failure. My cholesterol spiked to 630. My nephrologist explicitly warned that I was at immediate risk of a fatal stroke [4, 5, 6].
• Legislative Intervention: At the end of 2016, I begged my state legislators to intervene. Only after their direct involvement did the FTB “locate” our missing funds and pause their harassment [4, 5, 6, 13].
Part II: Administrative Cover-Ups and Court Deception
Once the funds were located, I went on the offensive to expose what I discovered to be an organized embezzlement and racketeering scheme. Every stage of the administrative appeal process was corrupted to hide this fraud. [4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]
• GovOps Interference: I filed a complaint with the FTB’s oversight agency, GovOps, stating my intent to apply for a penalty refund. The FTB preemptively and unlawfully denied my request before I even formally submitted it. [13, 14]• Office of Tax Appeals (OTA) Fraud: I appealed to the Office of Tax Appeals. By law, FTB carried the burden to prove we were “willfully negligent.” Instead, the FTB’s legal counsel heavily redacted and omitted core ledger records to obscure their accounting fraud and the extreme efforts we made to rectify the accounting issues. The OTA judges failed to place the FTB’s counsel under oath, sided with the agency, and completely omitted the legal requirement of “willful negligence” from their final ruling. [4, 5, 14, 15, 16]
• San Diego Superior Court Perjury: I filed a trial de novo in the San Diego Superior Court (Grab v. FTB). Sworn evidence submitted to the court revealed staggering criminal malfeasance across three FTB staff members:
o 11 Counts of Perjury
o 25 Counts of Obstruction of Justice
o 15 Counts of Collusion to Cover Up Embezzlement
o 8 Counts of Collusion to Cover Up Racketeering
o Unlawful denial of pertinent, subpoenaed records [11, 12, 17, 18, 19]
Part III: State Retaliation and Institutional Collapse
Instead of upholding the law, the state mechanism consolidated to protect the perpetrators and punish the whistleblower [16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21].
• Attorney General Retaliation: The California Attorney General’s Office, acting as the FTB’s defense counsel, actively harassed my family. In a direct act of illegal retaliation, they leaked and published my and my husband’s Social Security numbers openly on the internet [17, 18, 19].
• Judicial Failure: The Superior Court judge dismissed my entire body of evidence on a minor technicality, issuing a ruling that directly contradicted the established statutory laws cited in the case [20].
• State Bar and Supreme Court Silence: I filed formal complaints against both state lawyers with the State Bar of California. The Bar protected the attorneys. I filed a final appeal with the California Supreme Court; they flatly refused to review the case without providing a single word of explanation [16, 21].
Conclusion: A Total Absence of Oversight
Thanks to the records forced to light in the Superior Court case, I now hold hard, undisputed proof of 8 distinct, systematic criminal schemes used by the state to fraudulently overcharge everyday taxpayers. [2, 13]
I have delivered this definitive proof to every regulatory body I know of. I have filed formal complaints with the Federal Department of Justice, the Federal Treasury, the FBI and the White House [18, 22]. I’ve filed complaints with the Office of Risk and Insurance Management, the Auditor’s Office, and the state legislative tax committees. [23, 24, 25, 26, 27] The response across the board has been absolute silence. No government agency is stepping forward to protect the constituents. The system is protecting itself. I implore this Civil Grand Jury to look past the bureaucratic shield, review the hard evidence of ledger manipulation, and issue the indictments required to halt this systemic extortion.
Thank you.
Note: I am not suicidal, I don’t have depression issues, I am a careful driver, I rarely drink alcohol, and I do not use drugs of any kind (not even aspirin). My family lives a wholesome life. If something happens to me or my family that is out of character for us, we were set up by the State of California as revenge for exposing their crimes.
