Also, the IG made cl=ar in his testimony Strzok told him McCabe was there. McCabe is anot=er real character. He denies this; but he also is irreconcilably at =dds with Comey on WSJ leak. Absolutely right that taking emails alon= is not fair; but I would point out that it is folks like Strzok and compa=y who have ruined many a businesman's life based exclusively on a twisted =eading of emails sold to a jury. Flynn is an interesting case. =1 believe I could have gotten his plea back for him in a second based on w=at has surfaced; but he decided to go a different way.

In this whole matter, I am most disturbed by the composition =f the Mueller team and it seems to me that if we are to learn anything fro= the IG's report it is the importance of having an investigation conducted=above-board without personal and political baggage. Mueller had a wh=le universe of lawyers from around the country to choose from to make up h=s team. He purposefully chose a murderer's row of the worst. l=can go one by one; but I will spare you. Here are a couple of exampl=s: A. Andrew Weissmann was known in the EDNY as "The Patholo=ical Liar" after the SNL character. He literally would withhold excu=patory evidence throughout the case and then one day when defense counsel =ent to the bathroom or lunch, stick the documents under others on his tabl= and tell the judge the lawyer had it all along. I have been brought=into a case in which he lied from start to finish - and now his rats have =ome to me to admit their role in it - to get murder convictions in two cas=s. He has been cited by judges for his misconduct and he runined bot= Arthur Anderson and Enron through his work, all of which was rejected by =he higher courts. He also is a Trump hater and Clinton sycophant.&nb=p; Mueller knows Weissmann's conduct up close and personal. He chose=Weissmann for his chief counsel at the FBI years ago. B. Jeannie Rhee, hand-picked by Mueller from Mueller's own firm,=was actually Clinton's lawyer in the email investigation. Now how do=s that look. She also is a bully and thinks she is a real tough guy =nd I don't want that kind of character around. I also have an ineffe=tive assistance of counsel case against her for a client in a $100 million=earnings management fraud case in which she was way over her head. C. Greg Andres was another bully who replaced Weissmann in the E=NY. He withheld evidence terribly in his cases, regularly threatened=others, and accused a defendant of putting out a contract on him when he k=ew it was a completely bogus claim, but gave him the publicity he craved.&=bsp; He is 100% in the pro-Clinton, anti-Trump camp. President Obama=gave his wife a federal judgeship on the SDNY and on and on. I don't personally believe Russia affected the election at all; but I =ertainly am not qualified to say. I do know that we have meddled in =ther countries' elections as a matter of policy forever. But the bot=om line is, if there is to be an investigation, just play it straight up.&=bsp; I am friends for a long time with the IG.

Defense Claims DOJ Official Misrepresented Deferred Prosecution Agreement Modifications in Epstein Case

Defense Claims DOJ Official Misrepresented Deferred Prosecution Agreement Modifications in Epstein Case The passage outlines a dispute over a purported modification to Jeffrey Epstein's Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) by U.S. Attorney Paul Acosta and SDFL prosecutor Michael Sloman. It suggests possible procedural misconduct or bad‑faith tactics by DOJ officials, which could be a concrete lead for further FOIA requests, interview of the attorneys involved, and review of the December 19, 2007 letter. While the actors are high‑profile (U.S. Attorney, federal prosecutors), the claim is not novel and lacks specific evidence of wrongdoing beyond contradictory statements, placing it in the strong‑lead range. Key insights: Sloman threatened to terminate the DPA unless Epstein complied with a 'unilateral modification' that defense says was never formally agreed to.; The defense asserts the December 19, 2007 letter from U.S. Attorney Acosta only proposed changes, which were rejected by defense counsel.; The SDFL allegedly refused to provide needed information for Epstein to meet the alleged new pleading and sentencing requirements.
