Federal Crime Reporting Statute

The federal offense of failure to disclose a felony, if coupled with some act concealing the felony, such as suppression of evidence, harboring or protecting the person performing the felony, intimidation or harming a witness, or any other act designed to conceal from authorities the fact that a crime has been committed.

Title 18 U.S.C. § 4. Misprision of felony. Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

A federal judge, or any other government official, is required as part of the judge's mandatory administrative duties, to receive any offer of information of a federal crime. If that judge blocks such report, that block is a felony under related obstruction of justice statutes, and constitutes a serious offense.

Upon receiving such information, the judge is then required to make it known to a government law enforcement body that is not themselves involved in the federal crime.

Misprision of a Felony

Misprision of a felony is the offense of failure to inform government authorities of a felony that a person knows about. A person commits the crime of misprision of a felony if that person:

• Knows of a federal crime that the person has witnessed or that has come to the person's attention, or failed to prevent.

• Fails to report it to a federal judge or other federal official (who is not thems4elves involved in the crime).

Top Government Personnel Repeatedly
Violating Crime Reporting Statute

For over 40 years, former federal agent Rodney Stich has attempted to report the  continuing corruption in the government's aviation safety offices related to a series of continuing aviation disasters, and of criminal activities inflicting great harm upon the American people and upon the United States, to:

• Federal judges

• Supreme Court Justices.

In every instance, the judges and Justices blocked the reporting of the federal crimes. They became enablers to subsequent tragic, sometimes, deadly, and sometimes catastrophic events.

Repeated Misprision of Felony
Crimes by America's "Leaders"

Overwhelming evidence exists at this site and in the related books of repeated misprision of felony crimes by people in key government positions. These include, for instance:

• Members of Congress that had been repeatedly informed by present and former government agents and others of continuing federal crimes.

• Employees of the U.S. Department of Justice, and other government departments.

• Media people and media corporations.

• Lawyers who compounded the obstruction of justice with sham legal attacks paralleling the obstruction of justice tactics by federal judges and Department of Justice employees.

• Media people and media corporations.

One hundred percent cover-up, year after year, suggesting control by a source high in government, and probably the people in control of the political U.S. Department of Justice.

Another Federal Statute for Reporting
Corruption in Government

Another federal statute exists for reporting high-level corruption in government:

Title 28 U.S.C. § 1361. Action to compel an officer of the United States to perform his duty. The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of any action in the nature of mandamus to compel an officer or employee of the United States or any agency thereof to perform a duty owed to the plaintiff.

This federal statute permits any citizen to file a lawsuit in the federal courts to obtain a court order requiring a federal official to perform a mandatory duty and to halt unlawful acts. This statute is Title 28 U.S.C. § 1361.

These two statutes are among the most powerful tools in the hands of the people, even a single person, to report corrupt and criminal activities by federal officials−including federal judges−and to circumvent the blocks by those in key positions in the three branches of government. That statute was also repeatedly blocked by federal judges and Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court.
