Getting fired for following the evidence. abcnews.go.com/US/trump-poi...

Survivors of the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell respond to FBI director Patel’s testimony:

“The politically motivated termination of Ms. Comey…upends bedrock principles of our democracy & justice system…. AUSAs like Ms. Comey must do their jobs without fearing or favoring any political party or perspective, guided solely by the law, the facts & the pursuit of justice.”

Exactly.

I’m proud to announce that Vol. 1 of Hidden Voices: Jewish Americans in U.S. History is now available for *free* for K-12 educators EVERYWHERE to integrate into their social studies/US history teaching. Grateful to the many who contributed, now LET’S USE IT! www.weteachnyc.org/resources/re...

Anyway in addition to teaching the law maybe elite legal institutions should also focus on teaching aspiring lawyers not to be morally bankrupt

My latest for @msnbc.com after yesterdays powerful gathering of Epstein/Maxwell survivors organized by @rachelfoster.bsky.social @laurenhershey.bsky.social www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

This #epstein press conference where survivors are speaking is incredible. The unity & power of this group of women (and their families) is so moving.

My latest for @cafedotcom.bsky.social staytuned.substack.com/p/listen-to-...

Tomorrow 930 am Washington DC survivors speak. That is who we should all be listening to.

"In any semi-normal time, the Justice Department would acknowledge that Maxwell’s denial of her own conduct proved at trial means she has zero credibility…But credibility and truth were clearly not the goals of this so-called proffer.” ✍️ @mimirocah1.bsky.social

I talk about one of the most revealing exchanges between Blanche and Maxwell in my latest for the @contrariannews.org

Reposting this in light of news Acosta will be questioned by House Committee. There are lots of questions that need answering. www.nbcnews.com/think/amp/nc...

Exactly this @asharangappa.bsky.social

Maxwell said she never saw Trump do anything “inappropriate.” She also said she never saw *anyone* do anything inappropriate. CASE CLOSED!

It’s clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didn’t see Trump do anything wrong. Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that? The interview is more incriminating, not less.

The only thing worth saying on Maxwell: she’s denying her own criminal conduct for which she was convicted & sentenced. So she has zero credibility & her statements on Trump doing nothing wrong are meaningless. DOJ in any semi-normal time would say that (well not interview her in first place but…).

INBOX: Former US attorney Preet Bharara is representing Adam Schiff and has issued a statement blasting Ed Martin's "glaring" bias as he examines allegations Bharara says are "stale" and "debunked" re Schiff's mortgage.

Also, our standard now is that it had to have caused “concern” for Ghislaine Maxwell to be problematic?? Ummmm…obviously sexually abusing minors never caused her “concern” BECAUSE SHE PARTICIPATED IN IT

Yes this exactly.

I joined @mimirocah1.bsky.social, @eliehonig.bsky.social, and @preetbharara.bsky.social for @cafedotcom.bsky.social to discuss all things Epstein/Maxwell. It was a great discussion -- hope you will check it out! cafe.visitlink.me/p3mK33

Latest WH Press Secretary Leavitt statement does not help Trump: "The fact remains that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club for being a creep to his female employees.” 1) That now draws connection to knowledge of sexual predation 2) Actual timeline for booting Epstein from club👇

Big picture: This has significant implications for US government attorneys who risk their bar licenses by engaging in clearly illegal and unethical conduct. D.C. Bar Board of Professional Responsibility recommends DISBARMENT for Jeffrey Clark s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26... Read this line:

JUST IN: Former Jan. 6 prosecutor Michael Gordon (prosecuted Riley Williams, Ray Epps, Bigo Barnett, among others) and press aide Patty Hartman have sued Pam Bondi over their terminations from DOJ. Their lawyer: Abbe Lowell storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

TONIGHT: @timobrien.bsky.social and @mimirocah1.bsky.social talk to @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.

I wrote this article with Jackie Kelly who just left SDNY. We both supervised Maurene Comey-her firing is outrageous & DOJ’s transparent attempts to try & make SDNY the fall guy for their political crisis is shameful. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Informative read from @mimirocah1.bsky.social and @jacquelinekelly.bsky.social

"To say that the process of cooperating with a convicted defendant in a complex case is sensitive and fraught is an understatement. That DOJ seems intent on cutting out SDNY, which would be the best judge of whether or not Maxwell is being truthful, is telling." open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

My take for @msnbc.com on Bove nomination? “Violating these ethics is bad enough, but trying to coerce other attorneys of integrity to do so for your own political gain, as Bove has, is unforgivable.” www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Emil Bove has demonstrated a total disregard for the high ethical standards to which most federal prosecutors hold themselves, and, perhaps worse, he has shown a complete disregard for other lawyers who refuse to do the same. @mimirocah1.bsky.social www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Maurene Comey (who I supervised) was the lead prosecutor on the only case to get justice for the Epstein victims. The case was botched by the Dist. FL US attorney Alex Acosta long ago. Maurene had the courage to take on a hard case that many wouldn’t have & she succeeded. That’s the story. Period.

EXCLUSIVE | Around 400 Jewish organizations signed onto an ADL backed letter expressing concern over the “growing level of antisemitic activity” within teachers’ unions, which recently escalated with the NEA’s adoption of a measure targeting the leading Jewish civil rights organization.

Thrilled to be part of @frontlinepbs.bsky.social Trump's Power & The Rule of Law, which air this Tuesday, July 15, at 9 pm ET. I haven’t seen the full thing either so I am excited to watch it. www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli.... www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...

BREAKING: we & wonderful partners just won the very first national birthright class action certification & injunction! Written order to come by COB. Kudos to my colleagues @democracydefendersfund.org, @aclu.org , LULAC & many more

"Many advocates viewed it as groundbreaking (as in the prosecution of R. Kelly) in significant ways to help to overcome common misperceptions that sex trafficking victims come from overseas when in reality victims are bought and sold, coerced, and defrauded right here in our neighborhoods." #Combs

A different perspective on the Combs verdict via victim advocates who view the prosecution as heroic for being brought and pushing boundaries. Our collective understanding of consent, coercion and control is archaic and that’s a problem open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Sean "Diddy" Combs was acquitted of the most serious charges, but the trial revealed deep failures in how we understand abuse and consent. @mimirocah1.bsky.social and Berit Berger explain why the verdict is a wake-up call.

Very powerful from former FBI leader.” Under Patel and Bongino, subject matter expertise and operational competence are readily sacrificed for ideological purity and the ceaseless politicization of the workforce. At a time of simultaneous wars across the globe…this makes us all less safe.”

My latest for @cafedotcom.bsky.social on the @americanbar.org lawsuit to stop the pressure campaign against lawyers and why it matter. mailchi.mp/cafe/cafe-in...

Friends from DOJ + friends with DOJ fam/friends - pls make sure you follow/share about @justiceconnection.bsky.social. Justice Connection shares DOJ news and has free resources for DOJ folks who recently left the Department or who remain courageously but may still need assistance. Major resource!

The federal courts have held the line once again - for now. My latest for @contrariannews.org open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

BREAKING: AG Bondi we arent gonna let you get away with abusing & politicizing the rule of law! Our @democracydefendersaction.org bar complaint with @ldadorg.bsky.social & an all-star crew of ethics experts👇 www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

From @sheilakatz.bsky.social: Among many groups that have fought to secure and reclaim civil rights, voting rights and reproductive rights, we have seen antisemitism dismissed as not bad enough to matter, our grief met with cynicism, our safety treated as optional. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/o...

Speak up about the targeted attacks on Jews in America and elsewhere. Whatever your politics, beliefs about the Israeli government - nothing justifies violent attacks against civilians. If you’re not speaking out, you’re helping to normalize it.
