The hardest thing to understand about a case like the Yellow House case, is how can a business that has always paid its taxes, Used A professional accounting firm to audit and maintain the business finances for more than 20 years, kept up on the necessary licenses, permits, maintained good records and followed the required Federal and State requirments, filings and guidlines for employees be charged with "Money Laundering?"
Carrie Neighbors asked IRS Agent Robert Jackson to please explain during a proffer session in Aug. 2006 how she could be charged with "money laundering" when there was no hidden money and no tax evasion.
IRS AGENT ROB JACKSONS DEFINTION OF MONEY LAUNDERING:
IRS Agent Rob Jacksons definition of money laundering was that if a second hand business buys merchandise (that might be stolen) from an individual with the business check, then sells that merchandise on ebay, then the buyer pays with paypal and then from paypal the money is deposited into the business owners bank account, then all the money in the bank account becomes dirty money and anything else the business owner buys or makes payments on is purchased with dirty money and that is the "Money laundering" that the Yellow House was being charged with.
It would appear this is more of a conspiracy by the Federal IRS Investigations Department to team up IRS Agents with greedy dirty prosecutors needing favors to go after business owners that own forfeitable property, and assets using outragous "Money Laundering" charges which under Federal Law entitles the Government to Seize the defendants property and assets! This is the ridiculous charge that through the assistance of IRS Agent ROB Jackson U.S. Attorney Marietta Parker used to place a lis pendens forfeiture allegation in anticipation of a money judgement against the defendants Guy and Carrie Neighbors business and residential properties before a conviction. This type of lis pendens has been ruled impermissible in the 10th circuit court and therefore unlawfully interfered with the sale of the defendants residential property!
IRS AGENT ROB JACKSON VIOLATES THE PRIVACY LAWS:
During a conversation between Carrie Neighbors and her attorney Aaron McKee about her inability to pay all his fees, IRS Agent Rob Jackson also casually walked up and unethically disclosed the exact dollar amount of the balance in the Commerce Bank Business account for that day held by Carrie Neighbors to her attorney Aaron McKee, then proceeded to make the statement to Mr. Mckee that Carrie had more than enough money to pay him for his services. This statement was made in total disregard for Carrie Neighbors right to Federally protected privacy afforded by the Federal Government to customers of the banking institution.
IRS AGENT ROB JACKSON SEARCHES DEFENDANTS HOME WITHOUT A WARRANT AND HEADS UP AN ARREST WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THE DEFENDANTS CHARGES ARE:
IRS Agent Rob Jackson has continued through out the Yellow House Investigation to conspire and assist the Federal Prosecutors specifically Marietta Parker, and the Lawrence Police officers, aware the charges against the defendants were not substantiated by the numbers, were fabricated and false.
His conduct and lack of ethics has violated the defendants constitutional rights, including an unlawful search of the defendants home he executed without a search warrant, while serving an arrest warrant upon the defendants. Which at the time of the arrest, IRS Agent Rob Jackson was not even aware of what the charges were he was arresting the defendants for! None of the arresting officers could inform the defendants why they were being arrested or what the charges were.
DOES IRS AGENT ROB JACKSON HAVE A PATTERN OF ETHICS VIOLATIONS & CONSPIRACY TIED TO HIS INVESTIGATIONS AGAINST BUSINESS OWNERS?
IRS Agent Rob Jackson has violated other defendant business owners rights during other investigations. A Judge in another case, Senior U.S. District Judge Scott O. Wright has ruled IRS Agent Rob Jackson is not credible and has lied on the stand while giving testimony in court. END.

Strange Federal Employees I Knew - Walking the Fine Line between Prisoner and Prison Guard
Posted in January 2nd, 2008 by C. Yee in Absurd,

I’m dedicating this post to a former Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) colleague named Robert Jackson. Prior to becoming infamous outside of BLS, Rob (as we all knew him) was infamous within BLS. Rob would later become infamous outside of BLS for his role in a civil case that his new Agency, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) would – gasp – lose. As the Dan Margolies of the Kansas City Star quoted one of the plaintiffs, “”This whole thing was very, very scary, this Clint Eastwood character breaking the rules. All the attorneys I’ve talked to about this said they’d never seen abuse like this. They were really shocked.”
Kansas City Star, July 28, 2005
“. . . a federal judge ordered the government to pay more than $250,000 to three taxpayers after finding that an IRS agent [Robert Jackson] had disclosed confidential information to witnesses in a criminal tax investigation.
Senior U.S. District Judge Scott O. Wright assessed statutory and punitive damages after finding that special agent Robert Jackson of the IRS’ Criminal Investigative Division in Kansas City “knowingly, willfully and intentionally” made 78 illegal disclosures of taxpayer information.
I doubt that many of the BLS employees with whom Rob worked were shocked. Rob was a loose canon, and when we found out that he was transferring to the IRS and that they were giving him a gun, everyone panicked.
Me, I have two publishable recollections of Rob. My first recollection is from a business trip to Nevada, in which we helped the state install a new database system for their program. Smack in the middle of a phone conversation, Rob suggested to the Iowa programmer that I would be acting out a hard-core calendar spread for him and the two hard-working men surrounding the cubicle.
Feminists, hold your disdain, but I did not consider this to be sexual harassment. While his comment was unwanted, it was neither severe nor pervasive. Rob was a peer who would later be catching a plane back to Kansas City — in my opinion, none too soon. Secondly, he was a peer with no authority over my work or working conditions. Once my two other colleagues and I picked our jaws up off of the ground, we proceeded to ignore Rob. (I will mention here, however, that Rob Jackson did report to the Kansas City Office, which at the time was headed by Robert Gaddie — the man who thinks that women need to be inappropriately touched in order to be sexually harassed.)
My second recollection of Rob involves some poor traveler who made the untimely mistake of asking me about my plans for dinner just as a group of peers exited the elevator into the hotel lobby. Rob announced very loudly in front of us that if I wanted to have a private liaison with “Hamid,” they would go off on their own. Even if this traveler were Middle Eastern, Rob’s comments would be xenophobic and impolite. As you might have guessed, the traveler was not Middle Eastern, but rather, a darker-skinned East Indian.
There is a third recollection of Rob, but I’m not printing it here. Needless to say, Robert Jackson was “this very, very scary . . . character breaking the rules.”
I think at this point, I’ve ascertained that Rob was a bad apple. But, that still did not deter the Department of Justice from appealing the verdict against the IRS. Instead, they took the district court’s decision to the Eight Circuit Court of Appeals, where they managed to get the court to reduce the punitive damages from nearly $176,000 to $19,589. They also managed to get the district court’s award of expert witness fees thrown out.
All of this is despite the appeals court confirmation that “Jackson’s numerous disclosures of return information, including the fact that the Taxpayers were under grand jury investigation, were unauthorized and were not made in good faith.”
Ultimately, falsely accused taxpayers Leonard Snider and Theresa J. Turley won, but they did not win. Rob Jackson spread lies about their character and business in 2001, and on November 8, 2006 while simultaneously confirming wrongdoing by Robert Jackson on behalf of the Internal Revenue Service, the court of appeals took away award money that had been granted by the district court. And that money was small in comparison with what it did to the falsely accused. One of the falsely accused taxpayers, Leonard Snider, lost his business. The other, Theresa Turley, not only lost her business, but had tried to commit suicide three times during Rob Jackson’s untruthful investigation of her. And these were entrepreneurs just trying to eke out a living and live the American dream.

follow-up:
C. Yee said,in May 29th, 2008 at 9:57 am I was actually excited because I had hoped that Rob Jackson was finally indicted. But, in typical federal government logic, I see he is still working and stealing our our hard-earned taxpayer dollars, while harassing taxpayers, no less.
Have you tried contacting DAN MARGOLIES of the Kansas City Star? You might remind him of several articles he wrote about Mr. Jackson, the first dated 7/28/05 and the second, 11/10/06. That Jackson has already had his credibility ripped in court makes it a public interest story. It is as if what Mr. Turley went through had no impact on the overall functioning of the Treasury. It only goes to make my case that Rob Jackson represents what the IRS wants, soldiers to do its bidding, whatever that may be. I continue to mourn for good, honest hard-working Americans everywhere.
P.S. Continue the fight. I am hoping for the dawn of a new era — an era of integrity.
