Once deemed elite, U.S. attorney office Manhattan castigated for repeated abuses

The prosecutors also misrepresented facts to the court, attempted to cover up their behavior, and even communicated among themselves about burying evidence, Nathan said.

"In this case, federal prosecutors have by their own admission repeatedly violated their disclosure obligations, and at best, toed the line with respect to their duty of candor. Over the course of years in this prosecution — before, during, and after trial — the Government has made countless belated disclosures of arguably (and in one instance, admittedly) exculpatory evidence," the judge ruled.

Nathan noted that the prosecutors provided plausible explanations for some late disclosures, no explanation at all for others, and when she pressed the prosecutors, they "made a misrepresentation to her court."

"This is a serious dereliction," she scolded, adding she fears there are "patterns that may extend beyond" the Nejad prosecution.

As dramatic and damning as Nathan's ruling was last month, the judge has signaled she is not finished and wants to know "who knew what when" while she warned she "retains the authority to sanction the prosecutors in this case."

"If Government lawyers acted in bad faith by knowingly withholding exculpatory material from the defense or intentionally made a misleading statement to the Court, then some sanctions or referral to the Grievance Committee of the Southern District of New York would be appropriate," she wrote.

Somewhere, a mob lawyer is putting together a class action suit against the FBI and US Attorneys offices. They will be released.

Meanwhile, the “95% of good agents” continue on their crime spree. Lock them up. Or admit there is no justice left and anarchy rules.

I have been supportive of AG Barr, but every day we have more and more corruption flowing from his DOJ. He continues to support Wray, whose FBI apparently had posession of Biden’s computer for a long time but kept its content quiet; these NY US attorneys abusing their offices an still being employed; Bruce Orr being allowed to resign, with pension despite being engulfed in the whole Russia hoax etc etc. Barr is apparently not up to the job of cleaning out the swamp that is the DOJ and FBI.
