We initiate with this session a series of dialogues with Attorney Daniel P. Sheehan who has been involved in many of the most spectacular and historic cases in the last 50 years of US history from the Pentagon Papers, Wounded Knee, Karen Silkwood, Three Mile Island and Watergate, among numerous others.

On October 5th of 1986, a clandestine flight of U.S. weapons and explosives being secretly delivered to the exiled National Guard fighters of ousted Nicaraguan Dictator Anastasio Samosa (popularly known as “The Contras”, i.e. “Those Against The Nicaragua Sandinista Government” [the leadership of which had overthrown the authoritarian regime of long-time Nicaraguan Dictator Samosa]) was shot down over Nicaragua, killing its pilot and co-pilot. But a fellow crew member who had been assigned to “kick out” the military supplies into the Nicaraguan jungle (to be retrieved by The Contras) from the open rear door of the C-123 cargo plane, one Eugene Hasenfus, parachuted out…and was immediately arrested by The Sandinista Government.

The next afternoon, on March 6th, the Sandinista Government’s Foreign Secretary, Catholic Priest Father DeScoto, telephoned Daniel Sheehan, the General Counsel of The United States Jesuit Headquarters’ National Office of Social Ministry in Washington, DC, and asked Attorney Sheehan to dispatch a Jesuit Priest, from the Headquarters’ Staff, to interview this Eugene Hasenfus….to get him to “come clean” about his – and his associate’s - illegal relationship to high-level American intelligence officials whose intelligence agencies had been expressly forbidden from “providing any assistance, of any kind, either direct or indirect”, to the Nicaraguan Contras, in light of the fact that The Contras had been officially declared, by The International Court of Justice at The Hague, to be “international outlaws” as a result of that organization’s having been convicted, by The Court, of “mining the international harbor of Nicaragua in violation of international law.”

The reason that Sandinista Government Foreign Minister DeScoto chose to contact Attorney Daniel P. Sheehan to dispatch such a Jesuit Priest to interview Eugene Hasenfus was because, some five months earlier, in May of 1986, Attorney Sheehan had filed a massive Federal Criminal Racketeering Civil Lawsuit against 29 former (then-recently-retired) high-level United States Intelligence Officials and high-level United States Pentagon Military Weapons Supply Officials charging them with having created an “Off-The-Shelf, Self-Financing, Stand-Alone, ‘Private’ Covert Operations ‘ENTERPRISE’ that was, in fact, a “Federal Criminal Racketeering Enterprise” explicitly outlawed by Title 18, Section 1961 of the United States Federal Criminal Code.

This action resulted in the convening of a months-long United States Congressional Investigation – and Summer-long Public Hearings during the Summer of 1987; the Appointment of a Special Prosecutor (Republican Judge Lawrence Walsh); the Federal Criminal Indictment of several high-level U.S. Government Officials (looking toward the securing of court-admissible evidence against the top-level government officials identified above – and, ultimately, the defeat of George H.W. Bush in his bid for a Second Term as President of the United States by maverick Texas Billionaire H. Ross Perot – who has secretly joined with Attorney Sheehan and The United States Jesuit Headquarters in undertaking to secure the removal of these U.S. Government Officials from office – only to have been confronted by a Presidential PARDON issued by then-defeated President George H.W. Bush…and the ultimate frustration of the attempt on the part of Iran/Contra Special Prosecutor Lawrence Walsh to secure the Impeachment of these U.S . Government Officials…who publicly branded these 1992 Presidential Pardons by George H.W. Bush to be part of a “Conscious Cover-Up” of the grievous, criminally-unconstitutional “Enterprise” that had been exposed by Attorney Sheehan in 1986.

  • Attorney Daniel P. Sheehan is a 1967 Honors Graduate of Harvard College – where he studied American Foreign Policy under Dr. Henry Kissinger and American History and American Government; a 1970 graduate of Harvard Law School where he studied American Constitutional Law under Professor Lawrence Tribe, and co-founded The Harvard Civil Rights Law Review in 1968; and a former Master’s Degree and Ph. D. graduate student at Harvard Divinity School where he was recruited by The United States Jesuit Order, to become General Counsel at The U.S. Jesuit Order’s NATIONAL OFFICE OF SOCIAL MINISTRY in Washington, DC, where Attorney Sheehan was responsible for formulating both the foreign policy and domestic policy of The Society of Jesus for the United States and where he founded THE CHRISTIC INSTITUTE in 1980. He has been involved in numerous of the cases that have shaped American culture and law.

Daniel is the author of THE PEOPLE’S ADVOCATE and has taught American Constitutional Law at The Washington, DC School of Law and “The Hidden History of America” at the University of California at both Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz. He is presently preparing a 24-Episode Audio Podcast production of “THE RULERS OF THE REALM: A History of The Shadow Government in America” and an eight-episode documentary film series to be produced by David C.
