Cy Vance Has a Double Jeopardy Problem. It Will Delegitimize His Case Against Paul Manafort. By Jed Shugerman Slate Magazine March 17, 2019 Judge Amy Berman Jackson completed her sentencing of Paul Manafort for federal charges earlier this week, and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office wasted no time indicting the former Trump campaign chairman on 16 additional counts for state crimes.

(I have been suggesting this state-action…

The Hollywood Reporter March 16, 2019 Huffington Post reported the convicted former sheriff went to prison. Although he didn’t, the publication says the gist was substantially true. Joe Arpaio, the controversial former sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz., who earned Donald Trump’s first pardon, is many things, but he’s not a “convicted felon,” as CNN reported, not an “ex-felon,” as Rolling Stone described him, and he has never been “sent to prison,” as the Huffington Post once wrote in passing in the midst of a story that had not much to do with him. Yes, he was convicted of criminal…

By Larry Klayman WND March 15, 2019 There is an old joke about lawyers that goes like this: “How can you tell that a lawyer is lying?” Answer: “He is moving his lips!” Another joke goes, “Why do great white sharks not attack lawyers?” Answer: “Professional courtesy.” While these jokes ring true in many respects — and indeed is why I founded Judicial Watch in 1994 and later Freedom Watch (www.freedomwatchusa.org) and have lived my professional life as the “anti-lawyer” in large part — this so-called humor applies not just to the hundreds of lawyers who occupy mostly worthless…
