Per the article st the link you provided:

King & Spalding has signed on to represent Halkbank for the “limited and special purpose” of challenging an Oct. 15 indictment, which accused the Turkish state-run bank of helping Iran evade U.S. economic sanctions.

Rod will probably be mounting this device next to his window facing the White House.

Rod should be able to provide timely and pithy updates on the inner workings of his former employer. /s

A-N-Y emails received by government agencies and employees from Spalding should be flagged for review!

There is a wrongful termination case going on right now for a K&S attorney who claimed two partners were dishonest in representing ZTE, a Chinese telecommunications company who along with Hauwi is trying to get the USA 5G cell coverage.

Sure....

Also, per wiki

As with Huawei, the company has faced criticism in the United States over potential ties to the Chinese government that could enable surveillance. In 2017, ZTE was fined for illegally exporting U.S. technology to Iran and North Korea in violations of economic sanctions.[8] In April 2018, after the company failed to properly reprimand the employees involved, the U.S. Department of Commerce banned U.S. companies (semiconductors) from exporting to ZTE for seven years. The ban was lifted in July 2018 after ZTE replaced its senior management, and agreed to pay additional fines and establish an internal compliance team for 10 years.

Fellow former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates is also a partner at the firm, as is FBI Director Christopher Wray’s former chief of staff Zack Harmon. Former Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats serves as a senior policy adviser to the firm.

Wray himself used to head up the exact team Rosenstein is joining.

https://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2020/01/08/atlantas-largest-law-firm-adds-former-u-s-deputy.html

The 54-year-old Republican joins a roster of former senior Justice Department officials who rejoined the private sector through King & Spalding. That includes former Deputy U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates, former U.S. Attorneys Zachary Fardon and John Horn, former Associate Deputy Attorney General Alicia O’Brien and former FBI Chief of Staff Zack Harmon. Other former senior officials to recently join the firm include former Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and Stephen Vaughn, former general counsel for the Office of the United States Trade Representative and acting USTR.

Wierd. The first time I clicked it gave me the original filing. This time it was the summary judgement.

The case is Joffe v. King & Spalding LLP, S.D.N.Y., No. 17-3392, motion for summary judgment denied 5/22/18.

Interesting that K&S represents companies and banks our government went after for dealing with Iran and North Korea.

Lacking Candor...

Here is another blast from the past regarding Andrew McCable.

TruePundit reminded readers on 07-Dec-2017 that 300 days earlier the TruePundit ran the F*&k Flynn & F_Trump story.

DC is a swamp.
