The Indictment of Jefferson B. Sessions…or a session with Sessions…..
How would I prosecute a Federal prosecutor? How would I handle a session with Sessions? How would you do it? You might do it by letting his own words testify against him….

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury and your Honor, It is an axiom of long-standing, yea, from time immemorial, that “ignorance of the law is no excuse.” We have before us today a prosecutor, yea, the highest Federal prosecutor in all the land who is guilty of “ignorance of the law,” sheer, total, and abject ignorance and guilty of the egregious offenses of practicing medicine without a license and prescribing dangerous substances, again without a medical license.

This offender is one Jefferson B. Sessions, duly appointed and approved by the U. S. Congress to the great office of Attorney General of said country. He is an attorney of great repute, but he has stained and sullied his reputation by obviously overstepping his boundaries and illegally and foolishly practicing medicine–an honored field for which he has no aptitude, no license, and most assuredly, no expertise.

It is the duty of this teller of Truth to both bring these charges before this body and to prove them beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt. This is an incredibly easy task to do; adducing from the public record of the last 14 months and particularly the last 2 months, Mr. Sessions has many times displayed both stunning stupidity and ignorance and arrogance of a singularly high and aggravated nature.

One of the defendant’s on the public record statements is part of our evidentiary opening salvo: “I am operating on the assumption that this country prescribes too many opioids,” Sessions said in Tampa. “People need to take some aspirin sometimes and tough it out.”

First, he makes an assumption—his own word–remember what the word “assume” means? My wonderful Christian mom taught me that it “makes a 3 letter word starting with A out of U and me.” His ass umption is not based on facts.

“… take some aspirin sometimes…” Aspirin has some beneficial effects—but it is assuredly not within the purview of the Attorney General to prescribe such. This prosecutor and many millions of Americans could die from his illegal prescription or at least be rushed to the ER in anaphylactic shock.

“And tough it out…”is a wonderful phrase that most could benefit from, but I daresay he hasn’t a clue, not the slightest clue what it really means. If he could put it in the same context as Navy CPO Gregg Gaston or Charles Malinowski of California, or Marine Sgt. Robert Rose of Tennessee, or my dear friend Rob Hale–thought of and prayed for every day–or Lynn Frank of Philadelphia, or Bill Wiles of Dr. Sessions’ own state of Alabama or my precious mom who contracted Multiple Sclerosis at 26 and “toughed it out” for the next 21 years or countless other tortured PEOPLE.

Again, we’ll let Mr. (or is it Dr.?) Sessions’ own statement prove the veracity of this indictment: “But, I mean, a lot of people — you can get through these things. Sometimes you just need to take two Bufferin or something and go to bed. ” Tell that, sir, to a mangled Marine with multiple major injuries; tell that, sir, to a paralyzed police officer shot in the spine in the performance of his or her duties; tell that, sir, to an unfixed and unfixable fireman–maybe one of NYC’s finest at the Towers on 9-11.

“Take two Bufferin–or something (?)–and go to bed.” What puerile, putrid, pusillanimous poppycock! When this prosecutor’s personal pain journey started, I was first treated with morphine. Morphine was like–well, 2 aspirin or Bufferin to my pain; like a thimble full of water to a raging California wildfire….but I digress.

We return again to Dr. Sessions’ words. “We think doctors are just prescribing too many,” he said. “These pills become so addictive. The DEA says a huge percentage of the heroin addiction starts with prescriptions. That may be an exaggerated number. They had it as high as 80 percent. We think a lot of this is starting with marijuana and other drugs too.”

There are factual inaccuracies there. It would be an incredibly wonderful thing if the mighty engine of American free enterprise would be totally unleashed–think the destruction of the Axis powers in World War II–and alternatives to opioid therapy were created richly and copiously and that resulted in opioids being replaced as unnecessary… But that hasn’t happened and opioids are necessary—necessary??? They are the only real alternative to intractable pain, crushing, paralyzing, soul-destroying PAIN!

It is an incontrovertible fact that undertreated pain leads to a cascading effect of symptoms that can kill (sooner OR later) and that can almost never be reversed once allowed to become the norm in a pain patient’s life. But, Dr. Sessions ass..umes that 2 aspirin is sufficient to stem the advance of Adhesive Arachnoiditis or the tide of Trigeminal Neuralgia…..or Intercostal Neuralgia or kidney failure or Multiple Sclerosis or…..______(fill in the blank, please, Dr. Sessions).

There are MILLIONS of people who through no fault of their own (oh, other than being born) have constant crushing pain. Those who were born with it—readers, please take time to read about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (there are multitudinous variants of this INCURABLE connective tissue disorder), or Dercum’s Disease…others are suffering intractable pain due to war or 9-11 injuries…how about Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (now more commonly called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (RSD/CRPS—just copy and paste into Google or Bing..and be prepared to cry and cry and cry yet again after reading a personal story or 2 and perusing pictures that should tear your heart apart) or POTS….”two Bufferin or something (?) and go to bed.”

Doctor Sessions, you stand convicted of IGNORANCE, ILLEGALLY PRESCRIBING, SERIOUSLY SPECIOUS AND INACCURATE MEDICAL ADVICE WITHOUT A LICENSE, AND IMPERSONATING A DOCTOR. You, the CDC (the CDC is the next target of the Truth), the FDA, the DEA, and other members of the FAS (Federal Alphabet Soup) are DESTROYING GOOD PEOPLE AND…FAMILIES.

Plenty of good, credible, verifiable evidence exists proving that people can live long, wonderful, creative, productive lives BECAUSE of responsible opioid therapy. But, Dr. Sessions, you have illegally attacked great and good men like Dr. Forrest Tennant and Dr. Lynn Webster. Wonderful people like Dr. Stefan Kertesz, Dr. Thomas Kline, and Dr. Bob Twillman are standing up for what is right…you, Mr. Sessions, are guilty of multiple counts of lying, practicing, and prescribing without a license, and of impersonating a doctor.

You are an attorney, sir, not a physician! You, sir, ARE GUILTY—convicted by your own testimony—guilty as charged.

So charged and prosecuted by Tom Parker—not afraid to tell the Truth ( @NYTruthTeller )
