THREAD re Joffe's Deposition h/t @FOOL_NELSON @RyanM58699717 1/ While Joffe's claims at time of deposition he expects investigation will be over in a few weeks, apparently they said the same thing several months ago.
2/ Joffe refused to be interviewed and has not testified before the grand jury.
3/ And asked to interview him about a year ago. (the dep is from 2/11.
4/ Also subpoeaned b/f grand jury and invoked the 5th and for documents sought.
4/ Subpoena came after request for interview, but unclear how long after. Also, apparently some "memory issues" Joffe is claiming.
5/ (Sorry two 4's there.). Strange that Joffe claims A/P re business ownership? @McAdooGordon any thoughts?
6/ Claimed 5th for whether he talked to April, Manos, or Dagon, or Sussmann; Sussmann no longer represents. Joffe no longer affiliated w/ Neustar which TransUnion acquired (Joffe retired 9/19). Joffe claimed 5th on names of those at Neustar worked with him re DNS.
7/ Joffe pled 5th re whether experted in DNS data and what access he had to DNS data.
8/ Pled 5th on names. But strangely not Centerline?
9/ Interesting since he used that email. Later acknowledge it but seems to setting up point that just b/c an email uses the centergate domain doesn't mean it comes from him. Also refuses to admit he uses another email:
10/ Interesting:
11/ So more names on off list. Refuses to say if he worked with GA Tech or provided DNS
11/ Several more names mentioned some 5th other no. Refuses to discuss any work re DNS and also re policies re sharing data.
12/ (Dang I need to learn to count). Interesting another data exchange mention that's not Ops-Trust
13/ Interesting where they think April got data:
14/ Alfa's attorney then asked wheren Neustar shares DNS data and Joffe discuss 3 situations. Second (re customers) had no details provided. And pleaded 5th on company giving to researchers but then gave some texture.
15/ List of names now w/ does he know or pleds the 5th. Interesting he didn't plead 5th on Vixie since Vixie allegedly review report per reporting? Took 5th on Simpson, Sussman, Fritsch, Fusion, Seagos (Fusion employee), Perkins, Elias, didn't know: Jake Berkowitz or Baumgarten
16/ Interesting:
17/ Interesting re email address.
18/ More names w/ 5th & note my FOIA thefederalist.com/2021/11/17/ema…
19/ So Sussmann's representation of Neustar ended...
20/ Interesting.
21/ As I said earlier this week, pro bono. Also, LOL. TDS
22/ Sorry tds:
22/ Re the job. And re whether he created false pings. No.
23/ Some sense of timing. And Jones admits chatting with Joffe but not other way around.
24/ Interesting group. And note Ops-Trust not mention??
25/25 So rest was basically reading indictment and Joffe pleading fifth. I had a mini thread on one area that seemed stricking:
