Lane von Herzen: My Endeavor to Support a Courier

My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

My Endeavor to Support a Courier

OIG Hotline, I will endeavor to support a courier in picking up investigative and FOIA reports previously mailed to me and currently due to me, given that security issues appear to be paramount.

I will be traveling on United Airlines flight #1849 departing from SFO at 10:55 PM tonight, February 18, 2025, arriving at IAD at 7:00 AM.

Please understand that I am traveling for the sole reason that the FBI appears to allege that the agency has repeatedly removed prior mailings addressed to me from the U.S. Postal Service, and I appear to have received threats that this problem will recur.

I do recognize that it is highly unusual for someone in my position to travel to receive reports. Given apparent FBI communications to couriers today, I simply do not see alternate means of obtaining reports in the form and in the time frame that your Office, the DOJ, and the Supreme Court have intended that I receive them.

The FBI appears to feel comfortable in continuing to ignore orders from the Supreme Court as well as directives from the DOJ, and under these circumstances, it does not seem that meaningful communication can transpire without some additional initiative on my part.

In order to avoid violating investigative rules that could prevent me from picking up documentation directly from your Office, I will endeavor to hire an intermediary in Washington, D.C. to enter the DOJ on my behalf, and to ask this intermediary to accept a sealed package containing investigative materials on my behalf.

If your Office's staff wishes to see me, I will leave it up to your initiative to come outside to my location, which I assume is your prerogative.

If there are prohibitions against this, I understand entirely.

Thank you for your support in ensuring that all pertinent records are ready for pickup by an intermediary on my authorization tomorrow morning.

I have no doubt that the FBI will be busy importuning judges overnight to allege that I am a dangerous person who cannot be allowed to fly to the East Coast or to hire a Washington, D.C. courier to assist in the secure conveyance of documents from your Office into my hands.

Yet, I am peaceable, highly honorable, and law-abiding, as I always have been.

I simply believe my case matters a great deal, and, in recognition of your investigators' courage and my own, I wish to see the disclosures you, the Supreme Court, the DOJ, and many others have intended for me to receive.

Please feel free to reach out to my email or my cell phone at any time with guidance and recommendations.

Most sincerely,
