1. Why would Erdoğan prepare for the meeting @POTUS @JoeBiden by attacking near US forces in Syria? IMO it's because he's terrified. One week ago the US Court of Appeals ruled that the Turkish state-owned #Halkbank had no sovereign immunity because conduct in violation of US
2. law was done as part of commercial rather than official conduct, and thus, under US law, not subject to sovereign immunity. My reporting on the Zarrab case since 2015 left me with the district impression that there were connections between the crimes & top Turkish officials.
3. Now that the issue of whether there is any immunity for the commercial criminal conduct, those Turkish officials may soon be named as defendants in a superseding indictment. For an autocrat like Erdoğan, manipulating the court system is just business as usual.

The suspect is alleged to have been part of the so-called “Troika Laundromat” - a money laundering network linked to the former Russian investment bank Troika Dialog, which maintained a network of offshore companies with accounts in Baltic banks. abcnews.go.com/International/…
The Troika Laundromat enabled the flow of US$ 4.6 billion into the system and directed the flow of $4.8 billion out. Among the counterparties on these transactions were major Western banks such as Citigroup Inc., Raiffeisen, and Deutsche Bank.

2. At its heart, the prosecution of the Turkish bank Halkbank involves a multibillion-dollar criminal scheme to evade U.S. sanctions against #Iran.
According to great reporting by several news outlets, Trump directed Barr to try to stop prosecution of the bank and its associates

Bolton says that the House in its impeachment inquiry should have investigated Trump not just for pressuring UKR to incriminate his domestic foes but for a variety of instances when he sought to intervene in law enforcement matters for political reasons. nytimes.com/2020/06/17/us/…
“Mr. Bolton describes several episodes where the president expressed willingness to halt criminal investigations “to, in effect, give personal favors to dictators he liked,” citing cases involving major firms in China and Turkey.”

1. In Reza #Zarrab sequel, defendant #Halkbank, #Turkey's state controlled bank's attorneys King & Splaulding filed a motion to withdraw. Declaration says Robert Cary of William & Connolly filed appearance but I haven't seen it Cary handles attorney malpractice and white collar.
2. I don't practice in criminal court. A long time ago a competent criminal defense tax attorney told me that if you're the lawyer who was around when the alleged crime occurred it was likely the Govt would seek to get a ruling the attorney-client privilege did not apply.
3. In that case the former attorney could be compelled to testify against their recently former client. Possible that K&S was served with a grand jury subpoena or knows it's coming soon.
