1/BREAKING NEWS: My firm rep’d (w/#BobLitt at @MoFoLLP) top senior execs at @USAGMgov who properly reported misconduct as #whistleblowers against #Trump appointees.

@StateDept OIG has issued final report: complete VINDICATION.

Statement below. Image
2/We were pleased to work alongside of @GovAcctProj, particularly attny @davidseide, who also represented senior exec. GAP's press release can be read here:

3/USAGM was fed agency torn apart by Trump loyalists incl #MichaelPack, #MoraNamdar, #EmilyNewman & others. They were to "drain the swamp". They WERE the swamp. In 30 years practicing law in DC, I have never seen such arrogance & vitriolic from so many.

1/My firm filed new #FOIA lawsuit today for @wbaidlaw to compel disclosure of @FBI records re: #whistleblower’s efforts to reveal pattern of falsified intel reports generated by FBI & @CIA that led to unlawful retaliation. Story of #MarkMcConnell told in
newyorker.com/magazine/2020/…
2/In July 2017, McConnell was detailed by Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) Executive Office to work at Joint Interagency Task Force South (JIATFS) at request of JIATFS leadership.
3/Primary reasons for detailing McConnell were to inject agency-agnostic prosecutor perspective into fed law enforcement agency interactions at JIATFS to try & smooth out unproductive competitive interagency law enforcement behaviors ...

1/Today my firm filed new #FOIA lawsuit for frm Gov #JimGuyTucker to secure release of records tied to his prosecution as part of infamous Clinton “Whitewater” investigation led by then-Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr back in 1990s.

Total blast from past!
2/The records sought will bring greater public understanding regarding how Office of Independent Counsel pursued criminal charges against Gov Tucker based on provision in Internal Revenue Code that had actually been repealed in December 1986.
3/IRS itself had internally concluded provision was not applicable. These records will corroborate that OIC’s reliance upon repealed IRS provision was done, at least in part, to improperly pressure Gov Tucker into cooperating with Starr’s probe into #PresidentClinton.

1/Today, one of the individuals - Brittan Atkinson - who threatened my life during our (@AndrewBakaj) representation of IC #whistleblower in 2019-20 was sentenced to 12 months, 1 day (felony) in jail (& 3 years probation) for his actions.

#RuleOfLaw #Justice
2/His death threat was actually one of several I received, particularly in Nov 2019, after GOP Trump operatives discovered my - gasp - 2017 "coup" tweet. I was referring to #SallyYates firing & lawful, constitutional impeachment proceedings.

lawandcrime.com/high-profile/w…
3/These death threats came in wake of President Trump personally attacking me. He called me out at political rally, called me a "scumbag" & said I should be "sued for treason" (doesn't exist, BTW, but sounds real good).

I want nothing less than Trump being held accountable, criminally & civilly, for so many things.

But ppl need to realize DOJ's decision is designed to protect every President from being sued for defamation for comments made while in office.

Can you not see pandora's box?
Do you really want President Biden sued for some comment he makes off the cuff that someone views as defamatory, whether it is or not?

Can you not see potential for harm & abuse?

I am all for narrowing of scope. Tell Congress.
