And agreed, especially given the way she framed the questions in "full disclosure" about former USAs (I'm assuming she actually meant AUSAs), it seems like she'll be totally receptive to that. Shouldn't be a problem. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone On Mar 16, 2020, at 11:54 AM, Berman, Geoffrey (USANYS) a wrote: And that it does NOT violate any DOJ policies.

There is an important law enforcement interest to set the record straight. What do you think?

EFTA00077370 One of the things that has come up from multiple people is how unusual it is for Geoffrey Berman to have spoken publicly about this matter, not once, but twice. Per one former US Attorney: "It's an unusual move because generally speaking, there is a rule, there's guidance in the U.S. attorneys manual that comes from the attorney general that indicates that they are not to comment." Full disclosure, in most, if not all cases, the people I spoke with said they would likely have done the same thing. That said, would you or US Atty Berman like to provide any statement or comment to be included in the story? We are on deadline for 4 p.m. Monday. Thank you in advance, I hope to hear from you before then.
