Mr. CONYERS. Good morning. The hearing on the Espionage case and the legal and constitutional issues raised by WikiLeaks before the Committee on Judiciary is now about to take place. We wel- come everyone here to the hearing. In the Texas v. Johnson case in 1989, the Supreme Court set forth one of the fundamental prin- ciples of our democracy. That is, that if there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable. That was Justice William Brennan. Today the Committee will consider the WikiLeaks matter. The case is complicated, obviously. It involves possible questions of national security, and no doubt im- portant subjects of international relations, and war and peace. But fundamentally, the Brennan observation should be instructive. As an initial matter, there is no doubt that WikiLeaks is in an unpopular position right now. Many feel their publication was of- fensive. But unpopularity is not a crime, and publishing offensive information isn’t either. And the repeated calls from Members of Congress, the government, journalists, and other experts crying out for criminal prosecutions or other extreme measures cause me some consternation. Indeed, when everyone in this town is joined together calling for someone’s head, it is a pretty sure sign that we might want to slow down and take a closer look. And that is why it was so encouraging (1) VerDate Aug 31 2005 13:42 Feb 02, 2011 Jkt 000000 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6601 H:\WORK\FULL\121610\63081.000 HJUD1 PsN: DOUGA 2 to hear the former Office of Legal Counsel, Jack Goldsmith, who served under George W. Bush caution us only last week. And he said, I find myself agreeing with those who think Assange is being unduly vilified. I certainly do not support or like his disclosure of secrets that harm U.S. national security or foreign policy interests. But as all the handwringing over the 1917 Espionage Act shows, it is not obvious what law he has violated. Our country was founded on the belief that speech is sacrosanct, and that the answer to bad speech is not censorship or prosecution, but more speech. And so whatever one thinks about this con- troversy, it is clear that prosecuting WikiLeaks would raise the most fundamental questions about freedom of speech about who is a journalist and about what the public can know about the actions of their own government. Indeed, while there’s agreement that sometimes secrecy is nec- essary, the real problem today is not too little secrecy, but too much secrecy. Recall the Pentagon papers case, Justice Potter Stewart put it, when everything is classified, nothing is classified. Rampant overclassification in the U.S. system means that thou- sands of soldiers, analysts and intelligence officers need access to huge volumes of purportedly classified material. And that nec- essary access in turn makes it impossible to effectively protect truly vital secrets. One of our panelists here today put it perfectly in a recent ap- pearance. He explained, our problem with our security system, and why Bradley Manning can get his hands on all these cables, is we got low fences around a vast prairie because the government classi- fies just about everything. What we really need are high fences around a small graveyard of what is really sensitive.

    New York Times Jared Kushner Paid No Federal Income Tax for Years, Documents Suggest Confidential documents reviewed by The Times indicate that Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, probably paid little or no income tax from 2009 to 2016. By Jesse Drucker and Emily Flitter Oct. 13, 2018 Over the past decade, Jared Kushner’s family company has spent billions of dollars buying real estate. His personal stock investments have soared. His net worth has quintupled to almost $324 million. And yet, for several years running, Mr. Kushner — President Trump’s son-in-law and a senior White House adviser — appears to have paid almost no federal income taxes, according to confidential financial documents reviewed by The New York Times. His low tax bills are the result of a common tax-minimizing maneuver that, year after year, generated millions of dollars in losses for Mr. Kushner, according to the documents. But the losses were only on paper — Mr. Kushner and his company did not appear to actually lose any money. The losses were driven by depreciation, a tax benefit that lets real estate investors deduct a portion of the cost of their buildings from their taxable income every year. In 2015, for example, Mr. Kushner took home $1.7 million in salary and investment gains. But those earnings were swamped by $8.3 million of losses, largely because of “significant depreciation” that Mr. Kushner and his company took on their real estate, according to the documents reviewed by The Times. Nothing in the documents suggests Mr.

  • Cooper Letter FINAL Oct 10
    Cooper University Health Care Board of Trustees One Cooper Plaza Camden, New Jersey 08103 October 10, 2019 To the Board of Trustees of Cooper University Health Care: Cooper Health System is the largest employer in Camden County, offers critical access to care in the City of Camden, and provides health care delivery for the entire southern New Jersey region. If its financial soundness or its management is compromised, the health care of many is also compromised. Yet, Cooper is embroiled in yet another scandal under Board Chairman George E. Norcross III that calls into question the integrity and capacity of the leadership of Cooper and its ability to govern in a manner free from further scandal or controversy. The latest scandal over the role of Cooper’s management in the questionable purchase of the L3 property in Camden needs to be the final signal that Mr. Norcross must resign immediately from his positions with Cooper and that Governor Murphy, through his Attorney General and Commissioner of Health, must examine whether a monitor, receivership, or other forms of real oversight is appropriate and necessary to oversee the critical operations of Cooper Health. Please consider the following in recent years: • Conflicts of Interest & Patronage: In 2012, a Philadelphia Inquirer investigation “Powerful Medicine: How George Norcross Used his Political Muscle to Pump up Once-Ailing Cooper Hospital” exposed that “the hospital has become another piece of his political apparatus”; that “Norcross’ insurance business and the law firm of his brother”

    Volume 14 No. 2 2011 TOURO INTERNATIONAL LAW REVIEW 273 When the Nation Springs a [Wiki]Leak: The “National Security” Attack on Free Speech By Kate Kovarovic* We are willing enough to praise freedom when she is safely tucked away in the past and cannot be a nuisance. In the present, amidst dangers whose outcome we cannot foresee, we get nervous about her, and admit censorship. -Edward Forster, 1951 ----- I. INTRODUCTION The free speech clause of the First Amendment is a core provision of the United States Constitution and a founding principle of our democratic nation. The drafters of the Constitution truly believed in the “public‟s right to receive information about government affairs”1 and thus included in the First Amendment a general prohibition of laws abridging the freedom of speech and press.2 As such, the First Amendment has consistently been found to “protect[] the public[‟s] right to access government information and to express opinions regarding the functioning of the government . .”3 Yet during the drafting of the Constitution there also existed a group of dissenters who called for caution in granting the press broad access to * Kovarovic is a JD/MA Candidate at American University‟s Washington College of Law, where she has primarily studied the fields of international law, human rights, and national security/counterterrorism.

  • Law and Order As the Foundational Paradox of the Trump Presidency
    Stanford Law Review Online Volume 73 June 2021 SYMPOSIUM ESSAY Law and Order as the Foundational Paradox of the Trump Presidency Trevor George Gardner* Abstract. This Essay scrutinizes the feuding between the Trump White House and various federal law enforcement agencies, concurrent with criminal lawbreaking in the Trump Administration, in an effort to extend scholarly understanding of the relationship between law-and-order politics and popular regard for rule-of-law principles. Sociolegal scholars have long argued that the politics advanced under the banner of “law and order” reduces the whole of the criminal–legal order to minority violent crime. In doing so, these politics stoke white racial anxieties regarding one or more racial minority groups. But under the Trump regime, law-and-order politics exhibited an additional benefit to its purveyors: obfuscation of the threat to the criminal– legal order posed by the very purveyors of these politics. This is to say that the criminal offending of the Trump campaign and Administration would likely have been more politically damaging to the Administration had much of the public not been fixated on Trump’s allegation of a rising tide of minority violent crime. Moreover, this same reductive logic has badly damaged the political standing of Black Lives Matter. It has often reduced the Black Lives Matter organization—effectively, a rule-of-law campaign targeting extra-legal police violence—to the limited instances of violent crime found at the margins of Black Lives Matter protest activity. * Professor of Law, Washington University in St. Louis School of Law. This Essay was written for the 2021 Policing, Race, and Power Symposium hosted by the Stanford Law Review and the Stanford Black Law Students Association, and for the cross-journal Reckoning and Reformation Symposium.

Doug Mills/The New York Times By Michael S. Schmidt (http://www.nytimes.com/by/michael‑s‑schmidt) Nov. 16, 2017 WASHINGTON — The Senate Judiciary Committee has uncovered evidence that Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son‑in‑law and senior adviser, was forwarded a document about a “Russian backdoor overture” that Mr. Kushner failed to hand over to the panel’s investigators, according to a letter that the committee released on Thursday. The Senate letter did not say what type of back channel communication the Russians were trying to set up. But it noted that “other parties have produced documents concerning the matter.” Mr. Kushner also failed to provide investigators with a September 2016 email he was sent about WikiLeaks, nor did he hand over other communications with a Russian‑born businessman that were forwarded him, according to the letter.

WikiLeaks has been identified by American intelligence agencies as acting as a conduit for information that Russian intelligence operatives had stolen from Democrats during the 2016 presidential campaign.
