  • Officials Say Flynn Discussed Sanctions
    Officials say Flynn discussed sanctions The Washington Post February 10, 2017 Friday, Met 2 Edition Copyright 2017 The Washington Post All Rights Reserved Distribution: Every Zone Section: A-SECTION; Pg. A08 Length: 1971 words Byline: Greg Miller;Adam Entous;Ellen Nakashima Body Talks with Russia envoy said to have occurred before Trump took office National security adviser Michael Flynn privately discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with that country's ambassador to the United States during the month before President Trump took office, contrary to public assertions by Trump officials, current and former U.S. officials said. Flynn's communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak were interpreted by some senior U.S. officials as an inappropriate and potentially illegal signal to the Kremlin that it could expect a reprieve from sanctions that were being imposed by the Obama administration in late December to punish Russia for its alleged interference in the 2016 election. Flynn on Wednesday denied that he had discussed sanctions with Kislyak. Asked in an interview whether he had ever done so, he twice said, "No." On Thursday, Flynn, through his spokesman, backed away from the denial. The spokesman said Flynn "indicated that while he had no recollection of discussing sanctions, he couldn't be certain that the topic never came up." Officials said this week that the FBI is continuing to examine Flynn's communications with Kislyak. Several officials emphasized that while sanctions were discussed, they did not see evidence that Flynn had an intent to convey an explicit promise to take action after the inauguration. Flynn's contacts with the ambassador attracted attention within the Obama administration because of the timing.

  • The Sanctuary of Prosecutorial Nullification 1/17/2020 3:02 Pm
    0239 AHMED, THE SANCTUARY OF PROSECUTORIAL NULLIFICATION 1/17/2020 3:02 PM THE SANCTUARY OF PROSECUTORIAL NULLIFICATION Zohra Ahmed* INTRODUCTION In the aftermath of the 2016 election, the shortcomings of existing sanctuary protections came sharply into focus.1 Historically, cities enacted sanctuary protections to extricate their law enforcement agencies from activities related to federal immigration enforcement. In sanctuary cities, local government agencies are typically restricted from sharing information with federal immigration authorities or from cooperating in apprehending individuals targeted for removal.2 After the White House issued an Executive Order (EO) in late January 2017, many immigrant rights advocates recognized that external facing policies that proscribed direct cooperation would not suffice.3 The EO announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would prioritize removing any undocumented person charged or convicted of a crime, no matter how serious.4 Recognizing the vital role state criminal courts play and would continue to play in fueling deportations, public defenders in New York City (“City”) identified a new actor with the power to enact stronger protections: the prosecutor.5 * Clinical Teaching Fellow, Cornell Center on the Death Penalty Worldwide, Cornell Law School, and member of 5 Boro Defenders. This Article is dedicated to the co-organizers of #nycdontprosecute campaign, in particular Rage Kidvai, Ying-Ying Ma and Madeline Porta, who hatched the plan for the campaign on the Sunday evening after the 2017 anti-inauguration protest in New York City, and to Naila Siddiqui, Alexandra Smith, Anna Ulrich and Alisha Williams who were each instrumental in sustaining the campaign.

  • What They're Saying About Amazon's Long Island City HQ2 Announcement
    Date: November 14, 2018 Contact: [email protected] What They’re Saying About Amazon’s Long Island City HQ2 Announcement “I also don’t understand why a company as rich as Amazon would need nearly $2 billion in public money.” New York Post Editorial Board: “Sure looks like Amazon’s Jeff Bezos just fleeced Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio as rubes.” “New York is offering vastly more than Virginia for its half of the new Amazon headquarters. What’s up with that? The city and state ponied up nearly $3 billion in grants, credits and so on over 25 years. Down south, Amazon is getting $573 million plus $195 million in infrastructure upgrades. Sure looks like Amazon’s Jeff Bezos just fleeced Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio as rubes.” (Editorial Board, New York Post, “The Amazon deal is no win for New Yorkers,” 11.13.2018) Governor Cuomo and New Yorkers paid “more than twice what the other supposed headquarters are paying.” “A company like Amazon could present an opportunity to collect more taxes to fix the crumbling foundation. Instead, Governor Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio made a deal with Jeff Bezos that cost the city more than twice what the other supposed headquarters are paying.” (Cale Guthrie Weissman, Fast Company, “New York got played by Amazon,” 11.13.18) Virginia taxpayers paid "about half of the $61,000 per job that Amazon said it will receive from New York to create the same number of jobs at the site in Long Island City in Queens." "Virginia’s state and local governments agreed to shell out as much as $796 million in tax incentives and infrastructure improvements over the next 15 years in exchange for 25,000 well- paying tech jobs.

This case involves corrupt and illegal conduct by individual members of the U.S. Department of Justice in direct violation of Plaintiff William “Billy” Walters’ fundamental constitutional rights. It is no secret that, for years, federal law enforcement agents have used members of the media to promote their investigative agenda through illegal leaks of confidential information. This is the rare case in which the Department of Justice (“Department” or “DOJ”)—after first falsely denying the existence of any such leaks in court papers—was forced to admit on the eve of an evidentiary hearing that illegal leaks had occurred.

Introduction 2. Summary of Testimony from the February 13 Albany Hearing 3. Summary of Legislation Already Submitted 4. Comparison of Policies of the Legislature 5. Plan for Future Hearings Appendix A. Legislation Already Submitted Appendix B. Senate Sexual Harassment Policy Appendix C. Assembly Sexual Harassment Policy Appendix D. Submitted Testimony 2 1. INTRODUCTION For the first time in 27 years, on Wednesday, February 13, 2019, joint public hearings of the New York State legislature were held on the subject of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace. February’s hearing was convened in response to a troubling pattern of high rates of persistent and continuing harassing behavior over the past quarter century. More currently and specifically, the hearing was an outgrowth of and response to the courageous efforts of seven former New York State legislative employees who witnessed, reported, or experienced sexual harassment during their time working in State government. At the urging of these brave women and other tireless advocates, the goal of the hearing was to gather information that would reveal opportunities to create stronger and clearer policies and procedures that will endure in public and private sectors throughout the state. Legislative leaders hoped that the hearing might aid in the strengthening of proposed legislation and spur the development of new legislation that will make New York State a leader in workplace safety and anti-harassment law.
