UPDATE RE: Unsealing of federal grand jury transcripts in United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell

The case has been assigned to Judge Paul Adam Engelmayer and he has entered an ORDER.

🧵 Image
First, he advises that he "intends to resolve this motion expeditiously." Image
Here are at least some of the factors that he will be considering. Image
DOJ has until Tuesday July 29th to make a filing addressing these factors and any others it thinks are relevant to the unsealing motion.

DOJ is authorized to make a redacted version of this filing public. Nice.

It doesn't say that they have to, though. Image
The Court does not have the grand jury transcripts. So it directs the DOJ to, by July 29th, file the following:

(1) An index of the Maxwell grand jury transcripts, with summary, pages, and dates

(2) A complete set of the Maxwell grand jury transcripts

(3) A set of redacted Maxwell grand jury transcripts

(4) A description of any other Maxwell grand jury materialsImage
The Court directs Maxwell to file a response stating her position on the unsealing by Tuesday, August 5.

Letters from victims regarding the unsealing are also due by that date. Image
Fun fact:

Maxwell's current counsel for her appeal case is ALSO Hillary Clinton's counsel in Trump's Civil RICO case against Hillary.

That case is currently on appeal at the 11th circuit right now. Image
Image
Ok, back to studying the RussiaGate/SpyGate/ObamaGate material...

United States v. Comey

Motion to Dismiss Based on Fundamental Ambiguity and Literal Truth
🧵 Image
"after speaking for more than a minute, Senator Ted Cruz asked Mr. Comey to recall statements he had made three years earlier and to simultaneously address statements that Senator Cruz incorrectly claimed were made by Andrew McCabe, the former Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In doing so, Senator Cruz never indicated that he wanted Mr. Comey to address the statements or activities of any person except for Mr. McCabe."Image
Here's the May 3, 2017 exchange between Sen Grassley and FBI Director Comey Image

United States v. Comey

Judge Nachmanoff has issued an order regarding prosecutor's request for the implementation of a filter team protocol to review potentially privileged material that was seized during the Arctic Haze investigation and may be informative to their case against Comey.

He's appointed Magistrate Judge William E. Fitzpatrick to preside over all proceedings having to do with the review of the privilege materials.Image
In his order, notes that the "briefing on the government’s proposed filter protocol raises several legal questions that must be resolved before any protocol is authorized." Image
At least three of those questions were also raised by the defense in their opposition to the filter team protocol.

United States v. Comey

Defense files in opposition to prosecution's motion for implementation of a filter team. Image
A filter team is needed for a set of evidence that was seized per search warrant from one of Comey's attorneys as part of the Arctic Haze investigation.

You may remember we got a bunch of declassified memos on that investigation and ~half dozen others over the summer.
Arctic Haze was focused on finding who leaked classified information to the NYT, specifically the information that appeared in this April 2017 article. Image
