QUOTE
At yesterday's (Wednesday, May 18, 2022) Johnathan Hall hearing, individual state actors acting under color of law as the Tennessee Registry Board of Election Finance seemed to conspire to create a false political theater and clearly publicly ambushed Mark Clayton in order to make false accusations of criminal behavior against Mark Clayton, and unfortunately did this political ambush during an official proceeding under color of law.
In lay terms, a white spokesman presenting an emotional but sincere defense of a much attacked conservative black office holder was thrown out of a proceeding without real cause.
The
prosecutor
seems
to
be
using
the
registry
to
punish
a
witness
for
Mark
Clayton
and
create
a
chilling
effect
on
30
other
named
witnesses
in
State
v
Clayton
which
Mark
Clayton
defeated,
in
court,
Nashville
District
Attorney
Glenn
Funk's
entire
office
by
having
the
Judge
dismiss
the
entire
case.
At the hearing, these state actors at the Registry board were told by Mark Clayton he is a key witness, in the cited Johnathan Hall case on their public agenda, is an interested party, and an on the record Interpleader party to the Johnathan Hall case.
While he was speaking Clayton also asserted that the entire office of the prosecutor is already disqualified under court rules to prosecute Clayton and is also disqualified from prosecuting Johnathan Hall for revenge.
(see Affidavit of Mark Clayton Regarding DA Glenn Funk)
Mark
Clayton
already
won
this
issue
in
State
v.
Clayton
and
the
Registry
has
no
authority
to
overturn
this.
In
contradiction
to
their
statements
during
the
official
proceeding,
while
talking
to
the
press
afterwards,
the
Registry
Chair
and
staff
backpedeled
and
seemed
to
know
that
Mark
Clayton
had
made
no
serious
threats
but
yet
make
reference
to
"man
who
called
yesterday
with
threatening
accusations".
It is the stated position of Mark Clayton:
"Had any threat truly been made by anyone, the state trooper would have arrested that person at the door merely upon probable cause. This did not happen because I did not make any threats. For the state actors of the Tennessee Board of Election Finance to have perjured in an official proceeding, which is on recording, that Mark Clayton made any threat is a bald-faced lie, a tort, and a crime. I object to this ruling of the chair. The damage is done. Now they must face justice."
Statement of Facts About Phone Call
The state actors received one phone call the day before the meeting and were put on notice that Mark Clayton would only appear as a witness, adverse to the State, and also as an interested party.
Assertion
of
Standing
by
Mark
Clayton
This
was
the
Assertion
the
Members
of
the
Registry
Did
not
want
revealed.
Clayton
said:
"Johnathan
Hall
is
in
my
witness
list
in
litigation
where
I
defeated,
in
court,
Nashville
District
Attorney
Glenn
Funk
and
made
sworn
accusations
against
Glenn
Funk's
Department.
Glenn
Funk's
open
file
policy
does
not
constitute
Brady
Rule
Compliance,
and
GlennFunk
should
be
disbarred
for
intentionally
failing
to
institute
any
Brady
policy
in
his
office.
"
ANY
CONTEMPLATED
OR
ANNOUNCED
VOTE
ON
JOHNATHAN
HALL
IS
NULL
AND
VOID
Delgaudio said: "CLAYTON is a successful complaintant in an unrelated case involving the prosecutor, and Clayton's key witness is the much maligned Johnathan Hall who is the subject of the hearing. Clayton attempted to bring this conflict of interest to the parties yesterday. Instead they silenced Clayton in a clear attempt to push aside the allegation that the board appeared to be used improperly to interfere in an unrelated case by persecuting Hall at the behest of the prosecutor who falsely made allegations against Clayton in another case and lost."
The case was State v Clayton, which resulted in a dismisal, December 3, 2021, with the Judge throwing the case out with no merit, Davidson County Criminal Court. Glen Funk has sour grapes and a thin skin. Clayton alledged violations of the Klu Klux Klan act by Funk in a sworn affidavit.
Councilman Johnathan Hall is a witness in the successful dismisal of charges against Clayton.
In summary, Mark Clayton views the origins of the case against Hall as a political vendetta or payback by the prosecutor for losing to Clayton and due to the critical testimony of Councilman Jonathan Hall in that dismissed case which the Judge refused to even allow to go to a jury.
These
conflicts
of
interest
must
be
disclosed,
noted
and
legally
responded
to
on
the
record
as
they
involve
federal,
state
and
local
laws,
protocols
and
practices.
Clayton says "The fine against Jonathan Hall is unenforceable 1) because all interested parties and witnesses did not have the opportunity to be heard and present evidence and 2) the board made no findings of fact and conclusions of law."
Clayton says "the only relief possible is to cease and desist to ANY state actor or agent of said actor who attempts to enforce the $360,000 fine against Jonathan Hall as it can be reasonably considered to intimidate and coerce my witness and to create a chilling effect for other witnesses in my victory over Glenn Funk and other private litigation."
