POLITICAL CONTROL OF FEDERAL PROSECUTIONS: LOOKING BACK AND LOOKING FORWARD DANIEL RICHMANt ABSTRACT This Essay explores the mechanisms of control over federal criminal enforcement that the administration and Congress used or failed to use during George W. Bush's presidency. It gives particular attention to Congress, not because legislators played a dominant role, but because they generally chose to play such a subordinate role. My fear is that the media focus on management inadequacies or abuses within the Justice Department during the Bush administrationmight lead policymakers and observers to overlook the

  • John Kenneth Coil Sentenced to Federal Prison in Multi-Million Dollar Racketeering, Obscenity, Fraud and Tax Evasion Scheme
    U.S. Department of Justice U.S. Attorney’s Office Western District of Texas Johnny Sutton, U.S. Attorney FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Shana Jones, Special Assistant Daryl Fields, Public Affairs Officer (210) 384-7440 September 17, 2004 JOHN KENNETH COIL SENTENCED TO FEDERAL PRISON IN MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR RACKETEERING, OBSCENITY, FRAUD AND TAX EVASION SCHEME United States Attorney Johnny Sutton, Martin J. Sheil, Acting Special Agent in Charge, Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation, Alonzo R. Pena, Special Agent in Charge, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Dallas County District Attorney Bill Hill announced that 61-year-old John Kenneth Coil, owner and operator (directly and indirectly through nominees) of 27 adult-oriented businesses in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, was sentenced earlier today to 63 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to federal charges in connection with a racketeering, obscenity, fraud and income tax evasion scheme. In addition to the prison term, United States District Judge Harry Lee Hudspeth ordered that Coil pay a $ 5,000 fine, forfeit an estimated $8.1 million in property to the government and be placed under supervised release for a period of three years after completing his prison term. “John Kenneth Coil has been a long time pornography merchant who has made millions selling obscenity and cheating on his taxes. He is finally on his way to federal prison for his crimes. American families have won a battle today in the fight against pornography. Today’s sentences should put those in the hard-core pornography business on notice that there will be a price to pay for violating our obscenity and tax laws,” stated United States Attorney Johnny Sutton.

  • Federal Grand Jury Indicts Former Texas Attorney
    U.S. Department of Justice U.S. Attorney’s Office Western District of Texas Johnny Sutton, U.S. Attorney FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Shana Jones March 6, 2003 (210) 384-7452 (Austin, Texas), United States Attorney Johnny Sutton announced today that former Texas Attorney General Dan Morales was charged in a twelve-count indictment with mail fraud, conspiracy, filing a false tax return, and making false statements on a loan application. Houston area attorney Marc Murr was also indicted by a federal grand jury for mail fraud and conspiracy. The indictment alleges that Dan Morales perpetrated two schemes to defraud the State of Texas. One scheme involved the fraudulent conversion of campaign contributions to his own personal use and benefit. The second scheme, carried out with Marc Murr, involved efforts by Morales to fraudulently obtain millions of dollars for Murr disguised as attorney’s fees. “This is a case of an elected official charged with abusing the public trust. As Attorney General of Texas, Dan Morales had an obligation to the people of this state to be honest, loyal and fair; but he violated that trust by back dating contracts, forging government records and converting campaign contributions to personal use,” stated U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton. The Tobacco Charges The indictment alleges that beginning in 1995, then Attorney General Dan Morales, decided to file a civil suit against several tobacco companies (Tobacco). Morales entered into a written contingency fee contract with five private attorneys (Private Counsel) to litigate the suit on behalf of the State of Texas. This contract provided that Private Counsel would pay all expenses of the litigation, up to $10 million, and would receive a 15% contingency fee of any state recovery.
