Richman v. United States

Richman v. United States (Arctic Haze search warrant material case) Episode 3 Judge Kollar-Kotelly has ordered DOJ to delete or return materials seized from Richman pursuant to four Arctic Haze search warrants but to also create a copy of those same materials and file them under seal in the EDVA. There's a problem though: within the materials they have been ordered to turn over to Richman, some million-plus pages of documents, there's at least one document containing classified information, and they can't give that to Richman. That classified document is one of the Comey Memos. So, DOJ asks the judge for clarity on how she wants this handled and for more time. They also give some more information on the circumstances of the materials. The judge, now more informed on the situation than she was previously, scolds DOJ for how they've handled this matter but does grant them more time and gives them some clarity. Through these filings we learn more about the Arctic Haze material; there's a disclosure of a significant loss of data related to these materials that occurred as DOJ was changing software in 2019 and 2020, and I take a stroll on some rabbit trails as I find them. The case doesn't end here, though. More filings are coming in and will be covered in the next video.

Richman v. United States (Arctic Haze search warrant material case) Episode 2 DOJ opposes deleting and/or handing back to Richman the materials seized from him years ago pursuant to four Arctic Haze search warrants. They argue Richman's "is improper multiple times over," and "[his] Rule 41(g) motion is not a valid or meritorious motion for return of property, but instead a transparent effort to suppress evidence in the Comey matter." "Richman does not genuinely want any property back—after all, the government merely has copies of his data." "His request for “copies of the seized documents” and “an order directing the government to cease inspecting the evidence pending a ruling,” confirms that his motion seeks suppression of evidence, not the return of property." And "the timing makes perfect sense once one recognizes that this motion is in substance a suppression motion directed at the Comey prosecution if Comey is reindicted." So what's the judge do? Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly GRANTS Richman's motion for the return of his property... but... ...She also ORDERS the government to create "one complete copy of the covered materials and deposit that copy, under seal, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, for future access pursuant to a lawful search warrant and judicial order." So, on the one hand, it's a win for Richman—he gets the copies of his property that DOJ made years ago. However, it's also a win for DOJ, as the materials seized by the Arctic Haze search warrants will be under seal in the EDVA and can be accessed with new search warrants. I also spend some time in this video talking about why I don't think the Comey case will be revived, at least not successfully. The case doesn't end here, though. More filings are coming in and will be covered in the next video.

Richman v. United States (Arctic Haze search warrant material case) Episode 1 Just days after United States v. Comey was dismissed for Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan being unlawfully appointed, Daniel Richman, who is Person 3 from the indictment in the Comey case, filed a civil case against the DOJ. Richman wants the property seized pursuant to the four Arctic Haze search warrants that were executed on Richman years ago returned to him. The materials gathered during that investigation became the source of much of the evidence in the now dismissed Comey case, and if prosecutors are going to refile that case, they will need these materials. On the surface, this appears to be a case meant to delay or gum up any DOJ effort to refile against Comey. And that may be all that it is. Richman does not NEED the materials back. They are just copies of his PC hard drive, iCloud account, iPhone and iPad devices, and his email accounts from years ago. But could more than that be going on here? And could an adverse ruling actually cement the DOJ's retention of and access to the seized materials?
