So who are the attorney's that Michael Sussmann has gathered for his defense team?
3 have filed appearances with the court.
Natalie Hardwick Rao, Michael Bosworth, & Sean Berkowitz all from the firm Latham & Watkins courtlistener.com/docket/6039058…
Natalie Hardwick Rao started with the CIA for 2 years as a military analyst after graduating from Duke University. Then attended law school & has been an Associate with L&W since 2010.
Michael Bosworth joined Latham & Watkins as a Partner in July 2020.
Clerked for a Federal District Judge, Appeals Court Judge & a Supreme Court Justice. Also spent a lot of time at SDNY with DOJ.
Then it gets interesting...
7 months as Special Counsel to FBI Director Comey...
Followed by 2 1/2 years as a Deputy Counsel to President Obama...
Followed by 7 months at NYU Law & into private practice...
The NYU appointment is interesting because 3 Obama Admin officials joined the staff that Spring.
Michael Bosworth, Lisa Monaco (former AAG for National Security & now DAG), & Preet Bhara.
Interesting group going to NYU...
Also interesting because I found a strange FOIA request from a lawyer at NYU's Brennan Center.
A FOIA request on 04/18/17 to DISA for records related to SCIF's at Trump Tower & Mar-A-Lago.
DISA runs all US classified computer networks.
Haven't had time to dig on Sean Berkowitz, but he used to work in the DOJ office for Northern District of Illinois, covering the Chigago Swamp.
He also worked the Enron case with Lisa Monaco, Kathryn Ruemmler, & Andrew Weissmann lw.com/people/sean-be…
Then after he retired fro DOJ following his work on the Mueller Special Counsel team, Andrew Weissmann also joined NYU... law.nyu.edu/news/andrew-we…

Gone are the days of German leaders from East Germany, weakening NATO by not spending their agreed upon defense budget.
Gone are the days fo German politicians buying energy from Russia & taking Swampy deals & well paid seats on Russian company boards.
Credit Suisse pleads guilty & flips for helping 475 US account holders hide billions from the IRS in off-shore accounts.
They have also signed a deferred prosecution agreement for other crimes & agreed to cooperate!
Crimes from 2010-2021!
#ButNothingsHappening
Credit Suisse will pay $510M in fines & penalties in addition to the guilty plea.
After corrupt bankers collapsed Credit Suisse, UBS bought them & are now also forced to comply with the cooperation agreement!
It's a 2 for 1 special!
The reason for the requirement to plead guilty is likely because when they committed these crimes, they were under a Deferred Prosecution Agreement signed in 2014 that required their cooperation.
They didn't think DOJ would hold them to it!
How long before people realize that Trump sets up cases to get precedents set in court?
Once the exact parameters & processes for using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 are confirmed deporting Tren de Aragua, how long does Trump wait to use it on China's 1000 Talents spy program?
It would be very easy to prove in court by the precedents set at this time that the 1000 Talents program is a predatory incursion against the United States by the Chinese government.
