Helpful FYI: Any member of the public can file a bar complaint against an attorney.

E.g., making a false statement or misrepresentation like what Downing did in his presser today after Manafort's sentencing. He literally put words in Judge Jackson's mouth that she did NOT say.
Link to making a complaint:

dcbar.org/attorney-disci…
And a group of law professors have already filed a complaint to DC Bar (Disciplinary Counsel) on Kellyanne Conway. The professors cite multiple incidents that they claim violate D.C. Rule of Professional Conduct 8.4(c).

This is what Kevin Downing should be reported about. Completely false statement. ⬇️

Did Downing violate DC Ethics Rule 8.4(c)?

OMG. The Eastern District of New York has impaneled a Grand Jury into Facebook's data deals.

Federal prosecutors are conducting a criminal investigation into data deals Facebook struck with some of the world’s largest technology companies, intensifying scrutiny of the social media giant’s business practices as it seeks to rebound from a year of scandal and setbacks.
And what is this? The Northern District of California is running the federal investigation into Cambridge Analytica.

Trump orders grounding of Boeing 737 Max fleet in US.

Peer pressure, yo.

cnbc.com/2019/03/13/boe…
Trump called Boeing an "incredible company."

"Hopefully they will very quickly come up with an answer, but until they do the planes are grounded," Trump added.
Boeing investors already lost $26.6 billion in the first two trading days this week with shares sliding 11 percent from $422.54 Friday to $375.41 at Tuesday's close.

The price drop cut the company's market value from $238.7 billion to $212.1 billion over Monday and Tuesday

I know. I'm being petty. But I can't stop thinking of Manafort's SIX underground parking spots he has at his Old Town Alexandria condo he's still been allowed to keep. At $40,000 a pop.

#livinghisbestlife #whitecollarcrimeperks
Just a fun re-upp on how I know this useless bit of info on the number of Paulie's parking spots. From my old friend "Ed."

Opinion | Tweet by tweet, Trump digs himself into a deeper legal hole washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-tu…
2/"As we have discussed previously, President Trump’s tweet regarding the real purpose of the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting is injurious to Trump’s legal position regarding the possible underlying crime (i.e. seeking help from a foreign national to win a campaign) and the
3/"obstruction case against him (e.g. drafting the false statement about the meeting). But there is another way in which Trump has hurt himself. Bob Bauer, former White House counsel, writes: 'Trump is in the middle of fighting over the special counsel’s request for an interview.

Manafort trial: we have the transcript.

How did the Special Counsel piss off Judge Ellis?

What type of immunity deals did the Special Counsel give the witnesses?

Let's start w/ the testimony of accused embezzler Rick Gates.

[THREAD]
After going over Gates' background, Special Counsel sets out their crimina enterprise.

Were you involved in criminal activity?

Gates: Yes.

Did you commit crimes with Mr. Manafort?

Gates: Yes.
Gov't introduces the Gates plea agreement.

Judge Ellis notes that he pleaded for the DC case and not the EDVA case they're currently trying.

It will be up to the DC judge to determine whether Gates' cooperation was adequate.

(THREAD) If you're wondering when Donald Trump can—or can't—plead the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering Mueller's questions, this is the thread for you.

It's a complicated issue, so as an attorney I'll try to unpack it in a digestible way. I hope you'll share this with others.
1/ First, understand that the Fifth Amendment *isn't* a magic wand—a witness in a civil or criminal case who wants to avoid answering questions for a frivolous reason such as inconvenience or a fear of public speaking can't simply say "Fifth Amendment!" and walk off with a smirk.
2/ An attorney can only advise a client to plead the Fifth Amendment when the requisite constitutional standard has been met: that the witness has a reasonable basis to believe that a responsive answer to a given question could incriminate them (i.e., lead to criminal charges).
