“Noreika said Latham & Watkins LLP staffer Jessica Bengals represented herself as someone who worked with Theodore Kittila, the attorney for the House Ways & Means Committee in a call to the Clerk’s Office.”

Is there no penalty for doing such a thing???
At least for us peasants it is a crime to lie to a federal agent. Is the judge not a federal agent? Would it not be a crime to lie to the judge?
(Other than, it’s not a crime when they do it.)
The paragraph above in the article which was excerpted out points out that Latham & Watkins LLP is one of Biden’s lawyers.
Prior to Biden’s court appearance, a member of Biden’s legal team allegedly “misrepresented her identity” during a call with the Clerk’s Office about an amicus filing by a Republican lawmaker, causing Noreika to threaten sanctions for Biden’s legal team.
Noreika said Latham & Watkins LLP staffer Jessica Bengals represented herself as someone who worked with Theodore Kittila, the attorney for the House Ways & Means Committee in a call to the Clerk’s Office.
This should be referred for criminal prosecution, but it won’t be. And as others noted Delaware is a small town so everyone knows everyone. I assume Jessica Bengals is a DC staffer so she was not known in Delaware.
Looks like no.
Like Harry Reid said, “It worked, didn’t it? Romney’s not president!”
Actually noreika used a somewhat passive voice and did not accuse any particular individual, at least in this filing (maybe in di-12). If it’s not in di-12 then perhaps the title slightly overstates noreika’s position on the matter.
