He never hesitates to respond to me by email; but when i read about something that came up in hisdeposition that i thought might help you and emailed him for a copy - radio silence.I guess these days he likes to make himself relevant. Oh well, we all have our strengths and weaknesses i amsure and i have many more of the latter.On Wednesday, July 4, 2018 jeffrey E. <jeevacation@gmail.com> wrote:nicely put. !. sounds like you suffer a similar bias. :)On Wed, Jul 4, 2018 at 9:23 AM, <_______________________'wrote:By the way, your friend dershowitz is in hog heaven.

Couple of things:1. This the investigation of the President. It is only as good as public confidence in it can be (subtracting theconspiracy theorists on both sides). We just can't have someone with this kind of political bias as a leadinvestigator. But more importantly, he was not alone. He was just stupid enough to show it in office emails. We don'tyet know what his private emails showed. Strzok, however, says that he met with McCabe - the number 2 guy in theFBI - and in his office discussed how best to stop Trump from becoming President. That just cannot be tolerated. Plus,if I find any evidence of personal or other extraneous animus in any case by any agent or prosecutor, I view it as anHOUSE OVERSIGHT 026290open invitation for cross examination and any other exploitation possible as it cannot be an accepted part of theprocess.2. In this whole matter, I am most disturbed by the composition of the Mueller team and it seems to me that if we are tolearn anything from the IG's report it is the importance of having an investigation conducted above-board withoutpersonal and political baggage. Mueller had a whole universe of lawyers from around the country to choose from tomake up his team. He purposefully chose a murderer's row of the worst. I can go one by one; but I will spareyou. Here are a couple of examples:A. Andrew Weissmann was known in the EDNY as "The Pathological Liar" after the SNL character. He literally wouldwithhold exculpatory evidence throughout the case and then one day when defense counsel went to the bathroom orlunch, stick the documents under others on his table and tell the judge the lawyer had it all along. I have been broughtinto a case in which he lied from start to finish - and now his rats have come to me to admit their role in it - to get murderconvictions in two cases. He has been cited by judges for his misconduct and he runined both Arthur Anderson andEnron through his work, all of which was rejected by the higher courts. He also is a Trump hater and Clintonsycophant. Mueller knows Weissmann's conduct up close and personal. He chose Weissmann for his chief counsel atthe FBI years ago.B. Jeannie Rhee, hand-picked by Mueller from Mueller's own firm, was actually Clinton's lawyer in the emailinvestigation. Now how does that look. She also is a bully and thinks she is a real tough guy and I don't want that kindof character around. I also have an ineffective assistance of counsel case against her for a client in a $100 millionearnings management fraud case in which she was way over her head.C. Greg Andres was another bully who replaced Weissmann in the EDNY. He withheld evidence terribly in his cases,regularly threatened others, and accused a defendant of putting out a contract on him when he knew it was acompletely bogus claim, but gave him the publicity he craved. He is 100% in the pro-Clinton, anti-Trumpcamp. President Obama gave his wife a federal judgeship on the SDNYand on and on.I don't personally believe Russia affected the election at all; but I certainly am not qualified to say. I do know that wehave meddled in other countries' elections as a matter of policy forever. But the bottom line is, if there is to be aninvestigation, just play it straight up. I am friends for a long time with the IG. If they had picked him to head up theteam, I would not be a weekly guest on Hannity tv and radio (I never would have been asked), as I know he would picka team of honest folks from across the spectrum.-----Original Message-----From: jeffrey E. <J.!evacationomail corn>To: David Schoen ________________________Sent: Wed, Jul 4, 2018 8:10 amSubject: Re: Hellois it overblown. ? all mob prosecutors have strong feelings towards their targets.

I see they never miss an opportunity to try to drag you in - saw an article the other dayasking how you missed the #metoo press and tying you to trump. Didn't mention much of all you have been putthrough already. I hope the cases are all behind you now. I would have liked to have helped; but i guess you and yourteam decided on a different direction.
