Well, I just finished week 4 of this 3 month civil trial in state court. It makes me truly miss federal criminal cases! More on all of this when I finish, if ever.
In the meantime, some news and notes...
1. A few days ago I posted about the Comey indictment and asked what the strategy should be. Interestingly, no one has raised the Hyde Amendment. Although I made
some bad law in this Circuit on the ability of a criminal defendant to recover for a vexatious case, you gotta wonder whether that statute will be employed. Maybe these prosecutions will breathe new life into the Hyde Amendment.
2. Things are changing at the U.S. Attorney's Office. Jason Reding Quinones sent an email around last week naming new sections and new chiefs. Previously,
he named Yara Klukas (who was as sitting judge) as First Assistant.
Here are the other changes:
Economic Crimes & Cyber Fraud Section -- Michael Berger
Narcotics Section -- Sharad Motiani
Border and Immigration Crimes Enforcement (BICE) Section -- John Grivner
General Crimes Section -- Joe Egozi
Peter Forand stays on as Chief of Criminal. And Yisel Valdes continues as Deputy Division Chief.
Other Retained Section Leadership: National Security Section – Maria Medetis, Chief
Violent Crimes and Special Victims Section – Brian Dobbins, Chief
Collateral Litigation Section – Susan Osborne, Chief
Public Corruption Section – Ed Stamm, Acting Chief
Civil Rights Section – Ed Stamm, Acting Chief
Ed Stamm has done such a great job in public corruption, covering up office corruption that is. I guess that overlaps with violating civil rights!
ReplyDeleteOh my... you must have gotten picked on in Major Crimes! Did you nearly get fired with the rest of the lazy, and incompetent??
DeleteYo, BICE, let’s kick it
ReplyDeleteBICE, BICE Baby
BICE, BICE Baby
Yo, stop… ID inspection,
BICE is back with a raid that’s unwise.
Miami heat, they’re cruisin’ like it’s vital,
Skraped up tight, creepin’ the Depo.
Will it ever stop? No. Moms to catch
Out go the lights, sirens go
To the extreme, deports on the rise
Grivner — lights on, mission contrived,
Any thug welcome, cash is flowin’.
Will they solve crime? Yo, they might fake it.
If there’s a raid to botch, you know they’ll take it.
BICE BICE, baby (too much authority),
BICE BICE, baby (bureaucratic sorcery).
BICE BICE, baby (Miami hypocrisy),
BICE BICE, baby (yeah…).
Rollin’ in the van, slow like molasses,
Wearing mirrored shades - camo face mask.
Jump out — “Freeze!” at the ventanita,
Cops say “sup,” “show me papers,”
Grabin brown men, children and babies.
Cafecitos flying, Grivner smiling.
New headline – “Venezuelans leavin’”,
Problem with housin, yo they’ll solve it
Everglades, alligators, snakes and skitos
Get more children, kick ‘em from the country
Immigrant community, Nah – More Honkeys
BICE BICE, baby (hidin’ their faces),
BICE BICE, baby (they ain’t sorry).
BICE BICE, baby (Miami hypocrisy),
BICE BICE, baby (yeah…).
Did you rap that yourself or subcontracted it to ChatGPT?
DeleteBe careful or DHS might just use it for their next recruiting ad.
ChatGTP can’t touch this.
DeleteWell that leak didn't take long... or did some hack post it on social media somewhere?
