FYI. Gil and I have finished our review. Even if we were to substitute our judgment for yours, we believe that this case is one that is appropriately in federal court. We also see nothing in the conduct of the USAO that gives us any reason to doubt that the case is being handled professionally. We briefed the DAG on it yesterday and he agrees.¶
The attached late submission throws a slight wrinkle into this, but I think we can still satisfy your timetable. I have asked Starr and Lefkowitz for an electronic version of whatever he is going to send, to be sent this morning. I am going to schedule a telephone conference for this afternoon or this evening to let them know, but I thought you should know so you can start planning. Please don’t reach out to defense counsel until we let them know.¶

Dear Mr. Roth,¶
As you have requested, we are sending our supplemental submissions and binder of materials to the Department for delivery tomorrow. Attached here is our introductory letter.¶
I will be traveling abroad next week and kindly ask that you contact my colleague in this matter, Jay Lefkowitz, by email or by telephone at¶
Kind regards.¶
Sorry for the phone tag. We have all of your letters to both SDFL and the Criminal Division, but feel free to supplement that if you wish. It is best simply to send it by mail to me, with a copy to your contact in the USAO. If¶
