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…

CEO of UnitedHealthcare's insurance division gunned own in Manhattan outside of annual investor meeting.
Prior to 2021, he headed UH's govt division covering Medicare & retirement that Trump's DOJ accused of billions in fraud. #ButNothingsHappening nypost.com/2024/12/04/us-…
In 2003, UnitedHealthcare & othe insurance companies convinced Congress & the Bush Admin to create Medicare Advantage claiming they could save the govt. money.
Instead they overbilled the US for more than a decade until the Obama Admin investigated. web.archive.org/web/2017021707…
After manipulating rates by spying on patient medical records & using 'consultants' to find hidden patient medical problems so they could raise their 'risk' rate & bill higher premiums from Medicare, then they switched to an AI program to deny their care. cbsnews.com/news/unitedhea…
yWhat may be the biggest part of the agreement, DOJ is referring Raytheon to DOD & other agencies to begin a review to determine if Raytheon or individuals involved should be suspended from government contracts & debarred from future contracts!
So in addition to the corruption & bribery, the risks of Raytheon committing crimes to conceal corruption related to arms sales to foreign governments is a major factor in this case.
Opens contractors up to other off the books deals.
Raytheon as a corporation has now flipped on their executives who made these decisions. Which means Raytheon can only survive as a business & defense contractor if it provides all the receipts for criminal prosecutions.
Raytheon will pay $950 million to settle the allegations against the company for several different criminal schemse the company participated in.
Raytheon accepted a deferred prosecution agreement that becomes a confession at trial if they don't cooperate! justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/r…
The 1st set of charges are in EDNY. Bribing Qatari officials for defense contracts.
Then conspiracy by not report the bribes on the paperwork requesting permission to export the arms to Qatar. This sets a precedent for EVERY arms export deal!
Mayor Adams indicted by the DOJ following an FBI investigation.
And people still want to side with the Swamp against th FBI & DOJ.
Why could they still believe #ButNothingsHappening after 14 years of indictments & convictions?
Remember the researchers at Georgia Tech who were getting paid by the DOD & USAF to spy on Trump & feed that info into Hillary's oppo research campaign?
DOJ joined a lawsuit accusing GT on behalf of those researchers of lying to DOD about compliance with cybersecurity procedures.
So the cybersecurity people accessing NSA data to spy upon Donald Trump for the Pentagon were willfully avoiding compliance with security proposals. Then pressuring GT to lie to the DOD & submit false audits claiming that their computers were secure.
#ButNothingsHappening
I know some people still believe Hillary's Russia Hoax that told them FBI was investigating & spying on Trump.
How long are you going to continue to believe Hillary's smokescreen & help hide that it was her campaign & the Pentagon that spied on Trump?
