The DOJ has placed itself in Brady Disclosure Checkmate.
IRN’s lawyers and investigators have obtained a copy of Ulysses T. Ware’s January 11, 2022, letter of inquiry to the United States Attorney General, Merrick B. Garland, which demanded the DOJ “to disclose all Brady and Giglio exculpatory and impeachment materials pursuant to the Brady Court Orders’ commands,” or in essence stand-down and notify the courts of the DOJ’s litigation position “not later than 12:00 noon on January 21, 2022.” Thus, it appears from the court records the DOJ’s Mr. Garland has a career-ending decision to make. Either he came come clean and admit the DOJ’s criminal and civil contempt crimes. Or Mr. Garland can attempt to steer a sinking ship. The ship was mortally wounded by the concerted acts of flagrant and arrogant prosecutorial misconduct of the USAO under the leadership of Damian Williams and his predecessors.
Mr. Ware’s demands on Mr. Garland, and by extension, Damian Williams, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, (SDNY), have placed both Mr. Garland, his boss, and Mr. Williams in a very difficult, untenable, and if not legal and ethical impossible posture and position.
IRN’s lawyers have reviewed the DOJ’s policy manual and confirmed that Damian Williams, Mr. Garland, and his surrogates are all officially liable for the very serious breach, resistance to, and overt and apparently willful violation of the Courts’ Brady Court Orders. From a review of the evidence it appears their fates have been sealed by hubris and avarice. Arrogance and greed in a federal prosecutor are a deadly combination. An inexplicable case of incongruent duplicity. On the one hand Mr. Garland has made public statements vowing to “apply the law to the facts and follow the evidence wherever it leads.” Yet on the other hand, in the Ware cases, Mr. Garland has been anything except a prosecutorial bloodhound in following the “evidence.” It appears that he has yet to find and identify the scent of the evidence, even when staring him in the face.
First, IRN’s lawyers have reviewed the Brady Court Orders referenced by Mr. Ware that were entered in 2006 and 2007, pretrial, in the Ware Cases, 04cr1224 and 05cr1115 (SDNY), respectively. In both cases, criminal proceedings in the Manhattan, NY federal courts, the District Courts ordered and directed the Government’s DOJ and USAO’s prosecutors and their agents to disclose to Mr. Ware “all” Brady and Giglio exculpatory and impeachment materials “prior to trial.” That is a fact the DOJ, USAO, Mr. Williams or Mr. Garland cannot rationally and in good faith deny or dispute. The table was set, but the meal was not served by the USAO’s prosecutors in the Ware Cases.
Damian Williams, the new U.S. Attorney (SDNY), appears to be asleep at the switch to have allowed and permitted his office to be placed in an indefensible and untenable ethical and legal position concerning the written mandatory, without exception, disclosure requirements and commands of two Brady Court Orders. Mr. Williams’ negligence, hubris, sloppiness, and willful inattention to detail shows and confirmed that which was rumored before his confirmation in later 2021 as the U.S. Attorney. It was rumored that Mr. Williams was grossly unqualified for the position; rather he was being placed in executive law enforcement leadership as “a political ploy by New York Senator Charles Schumer.”
It was rumored that Damian Williams “had no experience,” other than the titular head of the purported Securities and Commodities internal unit within the USAO. Moreover, it was also rumored that “ … Damian was a very mediocre student at Yale Law School … I am very surprised that he was placed in, he certainly did not earn, that position of power and leadership ….” (quoting a former classmate of Damian Williams at Yale Law School).
More to the point. The $2.225 billion dollars in compensatory and racketeering punitive damages question must be raised and answered: Would competent, ethical, and experienced law enforcement executives skilled in management of a complex organization, certainly not Merrick B. Garland, a former federal judge, and Damian Williams, a law student, et al., have allowed the DOJ and themselves, with no apparent way out of the abyss, to be maneuvered and placed in a prosecutorial no-man’s-land, and placed in judicial and prosecutorial legal jeopardy (checkmate) ( i.e., a criminal contempt prosecution) in regard to indisputable and certain Brady Court Orders?
IRN’s investigators interviewed several former and current high-ranking DOJ officials who spoke off the record under conditions of confidentially, and all agreed:
“Ostensibly, Damian Williams and Merrick Garland have, both, ridiculously, committed unforced legal, ethical, DOJ professional responsibility errors; and both have committed professional suicide. It is untenable and blurs the senses that Garland and Williams be permitted by the President to remain in their posts … just look at the position the DOJ is in regarding that Alpha Capital [1][see n.1 below] and Ware mess … there is no way out …. How could Garland have just sat by and allowed Williams and Schumer[2] to implode and place the DOJ and USAO in institutional disrepute?
The Office’s credibility and integrity have been seriously damaged and maybe irreparably harmed. Williams hasn’t been there that long, so once he’s gone, the damage can be repaired, we hope. What a mess. The President must immediately fire both Williams and Garland. New, robust and competent executive leadership is needed in the DOJ … Garland and Williams were not up to the job … one was a law student, and the other a judge, neither is an experienced law enforcement executive. Neither understands that the decision-making processes as a law enforcement executive are vastly different than that of a federal judge or law student ….”
It amazes us how they permitted themselves to be controlled by Schumer and his cronies and allowed themselves and the other prosecutors to be culpable for a criminal contempt prosecution? The crime has already been committed at this point once the Brady exculpatory and impeachment evidence was not immediately turned over to Ware. The game is over for Garland, Williams, the prosecutors involved in the Ware fiasco. There is no coming back from this. A lot of good people will have their careers ruined by Garland and Williams’ negligence and incompetence. A sorry state of affairs for the DOJ ….” (emphasis in original).
IRN will review and check the dockets in 04cr1224 and 05cr1115 after 12 noon on January 22, 2022, and inform the public whether or not USAG Garland and the DOJ opposed or made any challenge to Mr. Ware’s allegations in the January 11, 2022, official inquiry. At this point and given the unique history and posture of the Ware Cases litigation, it is the belief of IRN’s lawyers and investigators that USAG Garland will not file any documents denying or opposing Mr. Ware’s very serious factual allegations and citations of legal authorities. If so that is a career-ending blunder by the DOJ and Mr. Garland. He has to be immediately fired for flagrant prosecutorial misconduct and criminal contempt of Brady Court Orders.
