Mark Lapointe has been in the position for a few months now, and the legal community is wondering if anything is going to change at the U.S. Attorney's office or is it going to be more of the same.
So far, there haven't been any noticeable changes in policy or culture.
The only real change so far at the office has been naming Mike Davis as his first assistant, which according to numerous sources, surprised many current (and former) prosecutors. Davis prosecuted some of the biggest cases back in the day... but what will be his impact on the culture of the office? Time will tell.
If you had any suggestions for Lapointe and Davis, what would they be?
What changes do you expect or want? Be specific.

ReplyDeleteOn these gun state cases that the feds pick up, try and understand that most of the state cops are lying about the stop, the search, the spontaneous statement and just about everything else. So when we subpoena their radio transmissions to show that they weren't where they said they were, tell your assistants to stop f;ing moving to suppress the subpoenas- because when our client's plea and judges tell them they have a right to trial and to subpoena witnesses and evidence to support their defense, it's becoming a big lie.
Oh, and stop imposing a trial tax (hey, if you don't ask, then the answer is always no).
Nothing. It’s dead. Trump hires killed it.
