Opinion | Why the F.B.I. Raid Is Perilous for Michael Cohen — and Trump

The search of Michael Cohen's law office, hotel, and residence certainly raises many interesting questions, including with respect to the attorney-client privilege. As this well-written article discusses, the privilege does not always provide full protection. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/10/opinion/trump-michael-cohen-fbi-raid.html

If a client is using an attorney’s services for the purpose of engaging in crime or fraud, there is no privilege.

Former Trump Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort Faces Another Money-Laundering Probe

Looks like Paul Manafort's troubles are expanding, with confirmation of a money-laundering investigation by the SDNY, in addition to the EDNY and Mueller. Will be very interesting to see who ends up taking the lead, if he is charged.

The Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office is pursuing an investigation into possible money-laundering by Paul Manafort, said three people familiar with the matter, adding to the federal and state probes concerning the former Trump campaign chairman.

South Texas Man’s $1.2 Million Fajita Heist Foiled After 9 Years

Have to admit, I have no real experience in fajita law. This is ... amazing. As the District Attorney says, “If it wasn’t so serious, you’d think it was a Saturday Night Live skit.”

Gilberto Escamilla clandestinely ordered fajitas through his government job, then re-sold them.

'Pharma Bro' Jailed for Post Seeking Hillary Clinton's Hair

Posting on a Social Media platform when your liberty may hang in balance is never - never - a good idea. Come to think of it, when involved in most legal matters, it's best to be very leery of social media.

'Pharma Bro' Martin Shkreli has been jailed for his post on Facebook, which offered $5000 "per hair obtained from Hillary Clinton."

Two federal court cases last week showed how difficult it can be to discern where the line between deception and fraud lies.

Pretty fascinating case ... and one that's going to get even more fascinating when it goes to retrial.

An appeals court tosses out a conviction because the Supreme Court redefined corruption, but not because of a lack of evidence.

Silk Road Creator Ross Ulbricht Loses Life Sentence Appeal | WIRED

Interesting decision today. If you don't remember, Ross Ulbricht was the founder and developer of Silk Road a kind of dark web for drug sales, and more. He went by the moniker The Dread Pirate Roberts and was hunted by groups of government employed hackers. Though it was an open lap top that finally did him in.

He received a life sentence. That was appealed and today's ruling upheld that sentence. What's somewhat amazing, however, is this, from the court's opinion.

“Reasonable people may and do disagree about the social utility of harsh sentences for the distribution of controlled substances, or even of criminal prohibition of their sale and use at all,” the appellate court’s opinion reads. “It is very possible that, at some future point, we will come to regard these policies as tragic mistakes and adopt less punitive and more effective methods of reducing the incidence and costs of drug use.”

“At this point in our history, however, the democratically-elected representatives of the people have opted for a policy of prohibition, backed by severe punishment,”

An appellate court puts the final seal on Ulbricht's life sentence, rejecting arguments about corrupt investigators and the injustice of his harsh sentence.

Why Do Federal Agents Still Take Interview Notes By Hand?

About those Comey memos and their possible evidentiary value - this article from Forbes about a year ago explores notes and white collar prosecutions. It's worth the read, for a lot of reasons.

Anyone who has attended a law school lecture in the last decade knows this sight: row after row of students typing on laptops, each taking down a nearly verbatim transcript. At the same time, anyone who has attended a witness interview—a proffer—in a federal criminal investigation in the last decade...

Here's a question: will the fact that the New York Attorney General totally mischaracterized George Costanza and the Vanderlay Industries episodes help the defense?

A man was indicted on charges that he claimed falsely to be a registered architect. The New York attorney general couldn’t resist comparing him to George Costanza.

This is just great ... and there's nothing riding on it but more movie discussion. Still, for how juries are supposed to work, to how one guy (or gal now) can change everything, 12 Angry Men said it all.

But ... did those 12 guys get it right?

Did Henry Fonda convince 11 people to let a murderer go free?

US Judicial Conference Calls for 3 New Seats on NJ Federal Bench

Here's a good article on the possibility of funding for additional federal judges in the District of New Jersey. We certainly could use more, as the current judges have an overwhelming caseload in relation to the national average.

New Jersey's federal courts would gain three new judgeships if Congress approves a recommendation adopted Tuesday by the U.S. Judicial Conference.

‘No one escaped’: Poland accuses 98-year-old Minnesota man of ordering a N**i massacre

Find this fascinating in a number of ways. There doesn't seem to be much doubt that the 98 year old was, indeed, in the SS. Whether or not he ordered the massacre is another question. Then, there is the fact he has Alzheimer's.

Maryland judges, commissioners already shifting away from cash bail as reform debate continues

Interesting development in Maryland - a potential fix on something that's been broken for a very long time. Maybe they can learn from the new bail reforms implemented here in New Jersey as of January 1 of this year.

In the months since Maryland's attorney general said the state's cash bail system violates the constitutional rights of the poor, judges and court commissioners have been requiring fewer criminal defendants to put up money for their freedom.

Sally Yates’s Legacy of Injustice at the Department of Justice

Food for thought. While the US Attorney's Offices often go after appropriate cases, this shows they can certainly also get it wrong, and can use reminder that their role fundamentally is to "seek justice," not seek convictions at any cost.

Howard Root writes that in 2015 Sally Yates signed a memo that makes a potential criminal of every CEO. Time to tear it up.
