Forgive me for being a little late to the party at the end of a long day. I worked with and under @AWeissmann_ and appeared many times before Judge Gleeson, and I think your criticism is not completely correct. /1
You're right that Barr did not monkey with the sentencing rules - the guidelines calculation was correct - he just thought the sentence was too harsh. You're also spot on that if DOJ thinks 1001 GL are harsh, then examine this across the boars, and not only for DJT's buddies. /2
But I understand what Andrew was saying bc I was taught this way as well (including by him): he's talking about guidelines calculations and the obligation of AUSAs to make sure the court and probation are not misled as to the relevant facts and relevant conduct. /3

THREAD re: Linda Fairstein. The outrage factory targets the former prosecutor who got rape corroboration repealed, worked to enact the rape shield law, spearheaded eliminating NYC's rape kit backlog, and spearheaded John Doe indictments of DNA profiles. /1 bit.ly/2ZfkmZj
Accepting that the five defendants in the Central Park Jogger case were wrongfully convicted - absolutely *awful* in itself - no one has come close to making the case that Linda Fairstein and Liz Lederer should be vilified the way they have been. /2 Image
People fail to grasp that this awful fact is not evidence that either #prosecutor did anything wrong. I've said this before, but it's worth emphasizing: this is a criminal justice *system*, & it's designed to make it more likely that guilty are freed than innocent convicted. /3 Image

Is County State's Attorney closing up shop re: non-violent crime? Here's statement from the #prosecutor who let #Smollett go: “We work to prioritize violent crime and the drivers of violent crime. I don’t see [him] as a threat to public safety.” 1/4

Again, I hate criticizing #prosecutors in the exercise of their discretion, but laudable as that prioritizing is, his logic is asinine. No more fraud, perjury, cyberbullying, public corruption, car theft, hacking, identity theft prosecutions. & of course no hoax prosecutions. 2/4
All those cases should be dismissed under the logic of ASA Joe Magats. SMH. 3/4

Thread responding to the always-thoughtful @RachelBarkow. The point about "People vs." not meaning the representative of all people is clearly right, though I think @j_simonson in @thenation makes too much of a clever political slogan by @KamalaHarris. /1
But her "definition of the role" of #prosecutors as "to seek punishment and inflict harm on a regular basis" is wrong & is dismissive of all the good work that prosecutors do. /2

bit.ly/2Tx6B5J
As you know, the @ABAesq defines the role of a prosecutor as follows: "[t]he primary duty of the prosecutor is to seek justice within the bounds of the law, not merely to convict." Any prosecutor worth his/her salt follows that precept. /3 bit.ly/2RCxEuF
