“What an evil little weasel this JagOff is...................”
I whole heartedly agree.
You’re much too kind.
I loathe, despise and hate him.
He’s a fanatic who’s also a failed government attorney.
After getting blown out of court along with Weissman in the Enron fiasco, he was relegated to the Hague to get him out of the way.
Garland brought him back as an attack dog with his career hanging in the balance. So he’s going all out. He succeeds in this, he’s a Big Man. Fail and he’s the goat of the century, and probably be hounded by Trump for the next decade.
Mad Jack the Inquisitor: Swear that you believe the election was not stolen! Swear it now or the wheel will be turned and stretch you harder!
Actually his cases that were blown up were his prosecution of Robert McDonnell, John Edwards and Rick Renzi. I thought he was an understudy to Weissman but I can’t find a reference to that. From AP (yeah, I know):
“Prosecutors scored a public corruption conviction against former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, a Republican, but the case was later overturned by the Supreme Court. The section also prosecuted former Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards, but a jury acquitted him on one count and deadlocked on others and the Justice Department declined to try him again.
Although those two cases ultimately came up short, the section brought successful cases against a number of state officials charged with defrauding taxpayers as well as service members who defrauded the military. There were high-profile victories for the section, too.”
And
“Smith, for instance, led the unit when Arizona congressman Rick Renzi was convicted of corruption, a verdict that was left in place by the Supreme Court — though Trump pardoned the Republican before he left office. Former New York state Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was indicted in 2015 on corruption charges, and was later sent to prison”
