Peekaboo, the Star Chamber is Watching! Williams led the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) nicknamed “Peekaboo” because of its secret, unaccountable, and inherently biased prosecutorial processes. With no meaningful supervision by any government official appointed or directly removable by the President, and using funds raised by private taxes with no Congressional appropriation or oversight, PCAOB has investigated and brought countless secret prosecutions seeking to strip honest citizens of their livelihoods and impose quasi-criminal monetary penalties—without a jury trial, due process of law, an impartial adjudicator, or any constitutional accountability.
It’s chilly in New York for due process rights. New York Attorney General Letitia James used New York Executive Law § 63.12 to allege that then-former President Donald Trump and his company engaged in fraudulent activities, including inflating asset values and misrepresenting financial statements, to secure favorable loans and tax benefits, even though the banks who lent him the money disputed that and testified there was no harm suffered. This unconstitutional statute is an affront to the Fourteenth Amendment because it allows punishment for incorrect business statements without requiring intent (mens rea) or proof of harm.
