Federal judge imposes $12,220 sanctions on Alan Dershowitz for his limited role in lawsuit by failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.
Dershowitz signed the complaint & said he was only paid for 3 or 4 hours of work.
reuters.com/legal/legalind…
.@AlanDersh asked the Court to deny any sanctions against him "given his limited involvement in this matter," testifying that "has no opinion on whether voting machines are vulnerable to hacking, which was one of the central claims underlying this case."

Nonetheless, @AlanDersh agreed to have his signature on the pleadings, and Lake "touted Mr. Dershowitz’s involvement in the lawsuit" on Twitter
He was not retained to investigate the facts and contends he did not participate in drafting the FAC other than as it related to voting machine companies’ alleged refusal to disclose their software. ... When retaining him for this case, "we had him look at the case, we had him look at a draft. I sent a specific email about the retention and indicated that we would want him on the filings with us. He agreed to that. He indicated he would do it only as of counsel. ..." ... Accordingly, Mr. Dershowitz’s signature block appeared on the Complaint .... Mr. Dershowitz signed the Complain...
In a statement posted to her Twitter account soon after the Complaint was filed, Plaintiff Lake touted Mr. Dershowitz’s involvement in the lawsuit: I am listed as the Plaintiff along with AZ House Rep @RealMarkFinchem. Legal heavyweight Alan Dershowitz will be representing us.

This @nytimes article describes a 2019-09-10 email exchange between OMB official Mike Duffey & DoD official Elaine McCusker.

OMB had ignored DoD's earlier warnings that the repeated holds on Ukraine aid would cause problems,
& now OMB planned to blame DoD.

/1
The article did not provide a copy of these documents, but it quotes from McCusker's email.
Elsewhere the article refers to an email trove obtained by @publicintegrity via a #FOIA lawsuit.

/2
In that lawsuit, @publicintegrity sought
all "records reflecting any communication between"
OMB officials
&
DoD official Elaine McCusker
"concerning the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative"

Another thread on @RudyGiuliani's anti-anti-corruption campaign in Romania, his failure to disclose, and a possible conflict between that work & his representation of President Trump:
Last week, @RudyGiuliani wrote a letter to the President of Romania, complaining about Romania's anti-corruption measures, but Giuliani never mentioned that he had been paid to write the letter.
Romanian politicians apparently thought Giuliani's letter was "based on his professional experience rather than part of a paid engagement," according to a story in today's WP wapo.st/2C3jJv4
