Scripps Research pays $10 million settlement to U.S. related to improper grant funding usage
Institute was accused of defrauding federal government
Scripps Research this week was charged with a $10 million payout as part of a settlement over claims that it used government grants to fund non-granted undertakings. The Justice Department announced in a press release that Scripps "agreed to pay the U.S. $10 million to settle claims that it improperly charged NIH-funded research grants for time spent by researchers on non-grant related activities." "Federal grant recipients must use the grant funds they receive on tasks that specifically relate to the funded project," U.S. Attorney Robert Hur said in the release. "Those that improperly charge the government for costs unrelated to the project must be held accountable."
Scripps Research-formerly the Scripps Research Institute-is a biomedical firm located in Florida and California. Between 2008 and 2016 the institute reportedly "failed to have a system in place for its faculty to properly account for time spent on activities that cannot be charged directly to NIH-funded projects or are unrelated to the research activities of the NIH-funded project." The claims resolved by the $10 million settlement "are allegations only; there has been no determination of liability," the Justice Department said in its release.

"Victims of violence inflicted by MS-13 gang activity can report their experience by calling a new FBI tipline that promises to protect callers' identities, Maryland's U.S. Attorney Robert Hur announced Tuesday in Greenbelt.
Maryland is the first state to announce the nationwide initiative, which urges victims of violence or individuals with information on the notoriously violent Salvadoran gang known as Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, to report information to the FBI through a secure, 24/7 tipline. Anne Arundel and Annapolis law enforcement have worked with federal officials on a sprawling racketeering case against more than two dozen suspected MS-13 members in the area."

Ex-NSA contractor sentenced to 9 years for stolen documents
July 19, 2019 | 4:13pm
BALTIMORE - A former National Security Agency contractor who stored two decades' worth of classified documents at his Maryland home was sentenced Friday to nine years in prison.
Harold Martin, 54, apologized to the federal judge who sentenced him for a theft that prosecutors have called "breathtaking" in scope.
"My methods were wrong, illegal and highly questionable," Martin told U.S. District Judge Richard Bennett.
The punishment was in line with the nine-year sentence called for under his plea agreement, in which he admitted guilt to a single count of willful retention of national defense information. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
A prosecutor and defense attorney both noted there is no evidence that Martin intended to transmit any of the classified information to anyone, but the judge said the trove of records contained "very sensitive material."
"That means people's lives were potentially in danger," Bennett said.
The sentencing resolves a mysterious case that broke into the open in 2016, when FBI agents conducting a raid found a massive trove of stolen government documents inside his home, car and storage shed.
"This case is enormously significant not only for the Justice Department but also for the intelligence community," Robert Hur, the United States attorney in Maryland, told The Associated Press in an interview before the sentencing. "In any case where you have someone who holds a security clearance at the level that Mr. Martin did and chooses to betray that public trust in such a profound way, it puts national security at risk."
Prosecutors initially said 50 terabytes had been found, though Hur said that estimate had been revised significantly downward. The information spanned from the mid-1990s to the present and included personal details of government employees and "Top Secret" email chains, handwritten notes describing the NSA's classified computer infrastructure, and descriptions of classified technical operations.
The case attracted particular attention since the raid took place just weeks after a mysterious internet group calling itself the Shadow Brokers surfaced online to advertise the sale of hacking tools stolen from the NSA. The U.S. believes that North Korea and Russia were able to capitalize on stolen hacking tools to unleash punishing global cyberattacks.
Prosecutors never linked Martin to the Shadow Brokers or charged him in the theft. But prosecutors say he nonetheless jeopardized national security through habitually taking home secret and classified government documents and carelessly storing them.
"He knew this was wrong, dangerous and illegal," Justice Department prosecutor Zachary Myers said.
Defense attorneys, meanwhile, described him as a compulsive hoarder who never betrayed his country. One of his lawyers, James Wyda, said Martin struggled for years with an undiagnosed mental illness, autism spectrum disorder.
"Instability and isolation were constants throughout Mr. Martin's childhood and adult life," Wyda said, adding that the stolen documents "were profoundly important to him when he was in the throes of his mental health situation."
But Hur said defense attorneys' characterization minimized the crime.
"This isn't just hoarding," Hur told the AP. "It isn't like wandering into someone's house and finding stacks of newspapers or library books or junk. This is highly classified information, the compromise of which is going to do grave damage to national security."

Prior to his appointment as Acting Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General, O'Callaghan most recently served as Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division, where he assisted the Assistant Attorney General in the administration of all units and components in the National Security Division, most notably in the Counterterrorism Section, the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section, the Office of Intelligence, the Office of Law & Policy, the Foreign Investment Review Staff, and the Office of Justice for the Victims of Overseas Terrorism. While awaiting the confirmation of Assistant Attorney General John Demers, O'Callaghan served as Acting Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division.
Before rejoining the Department of Justice in 2017, O'Callaghan was a partner at an international law firm. O'Callaghan specialized in defending financial institutions, public companies, asset management firms, and individuals in international and domestic regulatory investigations and criminal prosecutions. These cases involved securities fraud, bank fraud, money laundering, RICO, and corruption, among other things.
O'Callaghan previously served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York from 1999 to 2008. He was also Co-Chief of the Terrorism & National Security Unit from 2005 to 2008. As an Assistant U.S. Attorney, O'Callaghan was the lead prosecutor on several important cases, including the Department of Justice's international fraud investigation and prosecutions in relation to corruption in the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program, RICO prosecutions of crime families, and numerous bank and securities fraud cases. He received the U.S. Attorney General's Award for Distinguished Service in 2008, and the Director's Award for Superior Performance as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in 2000.
After earning his J.D. from NYU Law School in 1994, O'Callaghan began his career as a clerk to the Honorable Kevin Thomas Duffy of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Feds charge Maryland man accused of plotting to ram stolen truck into pedestrians
The man was allegedly inspired by ISIS.
Federal authorities have charged a Maryland man they believe was plotting to ram a stolen truck into pedestrians at the National Harbor waterfront development in Maryland, just outside the nation's capital, the Justice Department announced Monday. Rondell Henry, 28, of Germantown, Maryland, has been charged with interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle, but in court documents authorities allege a much more sinister intention.
According to authorities, Henry claimed to law enforcement that he was inspired by the Islamic State when he stole a U-Haul van looking to use it as a weapon. "I was just going to keep driving and driving and driving. I wasn't going to stop," he told law enforcement officers after his arrest, according to court documents filed in his case. On his phone, authorities found "images of gun-wielding ISIS fighters, the ISIS flag, and the Pulse nightclub shooter" who killed 49 people at the Orlando bar three years ago. Authorities said Henry told them he wanted to create what he allegedly called "panic and chaos" like the attack on pedestrians in Nice, France, in 2016, when a terrorist killed 86 people and wounded 450 others when he drove a 19-ton truck into a crowd celebrating a local holiday. The Justice Department said Henry harbored "hatred" for anyone who wasn't Muslim, and he was allegedly inspired by watching terrorist propaganda videos.
"He was a computer engineer by trade, and knew nothing of explosives or firearms. But he knew how to drive, and he also knew of the terrorist truck attack in Nice, France. So the defendant decided to use what was readily at his disposal and conduct a vehicular attack on a crowd of innocents," federal prosecutors said in court documents. The case began two weeks ago, when police in Alexandria, Virginia, were notified that a leased U-Haul had been stolen from a mall parking garage, according to the Justice Department. Henry allegedly left his BMW at the garage when he stole the U-Haul, pointing police to him. The next day, the stolen U-Haul was located at the National Harbor, and when law enforcement reviewed surveillance video of the area, they saw Henry driving the stolen U-Haul, the Justice Department said. Henry was arrested hours later, after allegedly hiding in a boat at the harbor. Henry allegedly hid in the boat to wait for bigger crowds at his chosen location – to wait "until the time was right," authorities said in court documents. "He had no escape plan, intending to die while killing others for his cause," authorities added
Before driving to the harbor, however, Henry allegedly drove to Dulles International Airport and looked to launch an attack on "disbelievers" there, but he left the airport after he couldn't get past the security perimeter, the Justice Department said.
As described by sources, the case did not involve a sting operation – it was a matter of federal, state and local law enforcement working together to stop someone in the nick of time. It's a stark reminder of how the terror threat continues to evolve in the years after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, with extremist groups all over the world calling on followers to launch attacks in their homeland – no matter how simple the attack might be. Henry is scheduled to appear in federal court on Tuesday for a detention hearing. "We continue to gather evidence, as well as review evidence already obtained as part of this ongoing investigation," the U.S. Attorney for Maryland, Robert Hur, said in a statement.

Part 1 https://dailycaller.com/2019/01/27/fbi-raid-clinton-whistleblower ...NOTABLE federal court is keeping documents justifying an FBI raid on a reportedly recognized whistleblower secret.
Attorneys and whistleblower advocates say the court should disclose whether prosecutors told the judge that Dennis Cain was a whistleblower.
Cain reportedly gave documents pertaining to the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One to a presidentially appointed watchdog before the raid.
A federal court refused to unseal government documents that permitted the FBI to raid the home of a reportedly recognized whistleblower who, according to his lawyer, delivered documents pertaining to the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One to a presidentially appointed watchdog.
The U.S. District Court of Maryland's Chief Magistrate Judge Beth P. Gesner, a Clinton appointee, also sealed her justification for keeping the documents secret in a single-page Dec. 20 order.
On Nov. 15, federal Magistrate Judge Stephanie Gallagher authorized the raid on Dennis Cain's Union Bridge, Maryland, home. She sealed the government documents justifying it.
The Daily Caller News Foundation asked Gallagher on Nov. 29 to unseal the documents, noting that Cain's attorney has said his client, a former employee of an FBI contractor, is a recognized whistleblower. The documents should be released in light of "an urgent public interest" surrounding the case, TheDCNF wrote. (EXCLUSIVE: FBI Raids Home Of Whistleblower On Clinton Foundation, Lawyer Says)
Attorneys and experts who defend government whistleblowers told TheDCNF the court should disclose whether prosecutors told Gallagher that Cain was a protected whistleblower under the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act.
Cain enjoyed his whistleblower status as early as last summer when he handed over documents to Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, according to Cain's lawyer, Michael Socarras. Horowitz instructed a top aide to personally hand-deliver the documents to the House and Senate intelligence committees, the attorney said.
The documents reportedly show that federal officials failed to investigate potential criminal activity regarding the Clinton Foundation and Rostam, the Russian company that purchased Uranium One.

On Nov. 19, however, Cain was confronted with 16 FBI agents who entered and rummaged through his home for six hours, according to Socarras. Cain informed the lead FBI agent that he was a protected whistleblower, but the raid commenced, anyway.
Cain has not been charged with any crime. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia is handling the case with Karen Seifert assigned as the prosecutor assigned to the case, according to Cain's criminal defense lawyer, Nina Ginsberg.
Maryland U.S. Attorney Robert Hur opposed TheDCNF's initial request to unseal the documents. In a Dec. 6 letter, Hur told the court doing so "would seriously jeopardize the integrity of the ongoing investigation."
His letter, which was also sent to TheDCNF, said nothing about the merits of the government's case or why the raid was warranted. His specific arguments remain under seal.

TheDCNF subsequently told Gallagher in a Dec. 12 letter: "We wish to narrow our request to obtain any documents presented by the government that informed the judge of Mr. Cain's status as a whistleblower."
"It seems the Justice Department should be able to address [TheDCNF's] more narrowly tailored request without compromising the investigation," the director for investigations at the nonpartisan government watchdog group the Project on Government Oversight, Nick Schwellenbach, told TheDCNF. "Revealing whether the court was informed of his protected disclosures, on its own, doesn't seem to compromise anything."
And Mark Zaid, an attorney who has defended government whistleblowers in national security cases, told TheDCNF: "It would be interesting to know if the judge was aware this person had invoked whistleblower status."
Kel McClanahan, an attorney who represents government whistleblowers and is the executive director of National Security Counselors, told TheDCNF: "Should the judge have considered that he was a whistleblower and they were looking for whistleblower stuff? Yes."
McClanahan added that government officials could face punishment if they hid information from the magistrate.
"Hiding the ball can be considered sanctionable conduct because there's duty to what's called 'candor to the court,'" he told TheDCNF. He said Judge Gallagher could eventually rule that the Department of Justice "'did not demonstrate complete candor to the court.' It doesn't affect her conduct. It affects the DOJ's conduct."

"Drink Good Wine, Hide Cash": $364 Million Ponzi Scheme Mastermind Told Wife To Hide Assets
Federal officials announced in September the indictment and arrest of a Baltimore man, involved in the most massive Ponzi scheme ever in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area. With his accounts frozen, Kevin B. Merrill, the mastermind behind the fraud, allegedly wrote a prison note to his wife telling her to hide their assets. The note was found in Merrill's sock by prison guards as he faces charges of defrauding investors of $364 million.
Federal prosecutors revealed the note in criminal charges filed last month against Amanda Merrill, the young wife of the mastermind fraudster. She was charged with conspiracy, obstruction, disobeying a court order and removing property to prevent its seizure. US Attorney Robert Hur said Merrill swindled family offices and investors around the country. He called it the largest Ponzi scheme in Maryland's history. Federal agents arrested Merrill in September and raided his multi-million dollar home in Ruxton-Riderwood, Maryland.
He and his business partner, Jay Ledford, 54, of Texas, have been indicted on federal charges of wire fraud, identity theft, and money laundering. Investors in the scheme believed they were buying "consumer debt portfolios," tranches of credit card debt, car loans, and student loans. Instead, Merrill shifted the money from new investors to old investors, prosecutors say.
Merrill spent investors' money on dozens of luxury cars, including a million dollar Bugatti Veyron. Prosecutors say he spent $37,500 on designer watches and jewelry, $50,000 on private flights and $100,000 at Las Vegas casinos. They even say he decorated his mansions with the fine art of the mustached Monopoly character Rich Uncle Pennybags. A federal judge issued a restraining order stopping Merrill and Ledford from selling their assets. Federal officials have filed documents with the courts to instruct Sotheby's International Realty to sell a dozen mansions the men owned in Maryland, Florida, Texas and Nevada, collectively worth $20 million or more. Officials are also ready to sell off the fleet of 34 exotic cars, motorcycles and boats. Both individuals have pleaded not guilty. Their trials have not yet been scheduled.

The letter was sent to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland on Dec. 7 in response to The Daily Caller News Foundation's Nov. 30 request to unseal court documents that would show the FBI's rationale for the raid.
The documents could potentially reveal whether the bureau and the magistrate who signed the court order allowing the raid, Stephanie A. Gallagher, knew that the subject was, according to his lawyer, a recognized whistleblower.
Sixteen FBI agents raided Dennis Cain's Union Bridge, Maryland, home on Nov. 19 for six hours, even though Cain told them that he was a recognized whistleblower and handed classified documents over to the agents.

The Department of Justice is requesting that the justification of an FBI raid on a reportedly recognized whistleblower's home remain secret, according to a letter from U.S. Attorney Robert Robert Hur.
The letter was sent to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland on Dec. 7 in response to The Daily Caller News Foundation's Nov. 30 request to unseal court documents that would show the FBI's rationale for the raid.
The documents could potentially reveal whether the bureau and the magistrate who signed the court order allowing the raid, Stephanie A. Gallagher, knew that the subject was, according to his lawyer, a recognized whistleblower.
Sixteen FBI agents raided Dennis Cain's Union Bridge, Maryland, home on Nov. 19 for six hours, even though Cain told them that he was a recognized whistleblower and handed classified documents over to the agents. (EXCLUSIVE: FBI Raids Home Of Whistleblower On Clinton Foundation, Lawyer Says)
The documents Cain possessed reportedly showed that federal officials failed to investigate potential criminal activity regarding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and the Russian company that purchased Uranium One.
Cain gave the documents to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who had a senior official from his office hand-deliver them to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees, according to Cain's layer, Michael Socarras.
Cain, a former employee of an FBI contractor, has not been arrested in connection with the raid.
Whistleblower advocates and defense attorneys have condemned the raid, and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley demanded that FBI Director Christopher Wray justify the raid and divulge whether the bureau knew about Cain's reported disclosure. The Iowa Republican gave Wray until Dec. 12 to respond.
Hur did not address Cain's reported status as a protected whistleblower in his letter to the court and instead appeared to employ boilerplate objections to keep the documents out of the public. He also did not invoke national security concerns or claim that Cain possessed classified information.
Releasing the raid's justification would "seriously jeopardize the integrity of the ongoing investigation," Hur wrote in his eight-page letter. "Making this type of information public while this investigation is ongoing could harm the government's ability to find additional relevant evidence."
He also stated that his office opposed the court order's public release "to guard against possible tampering of witnesses and destruction of evidence, and to maintain the ability of the grand jury to investigate this matter."

A few months ago, on law day, President Trump explained that in the United States, "we govern ourselves in accordance with the rule of law rather than according to the whims of an elite few or the dictates of collective will. Through law, we have ensured liberty. We should not ... take that success for granted."
The President's words are of central importance to the Department of Justice, because the rule of law in America depends on the character of the people who enforce the law.
All executive branch employees take the same oath. The first clause requires us to "support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
Everyone is familiar with that duty.
But some overlook the final clause: a promise to "well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter."
The first obligation is general. It imposes a duty to pursue the national interest over any personal interest. That applies equally to every government employee.
But the final clause is specific. Everyone recites the same words, but the meaning varies. In order to well and faithfully discharge the duties of "the office," you need to understand your unique responsibilities. What is the mandate of your agency; what is the mission of your component; and how do you add value?
You need to know what you stand for.
In 1940, Attorney General Robert Jackson spoke eloquently about what our Department stands for. He said that "the citizen's safety lies in the prosecutor who tempers zeal with human kindness, who seeks truth and not victims, who serves the law and not factional purposes, and who approaches [the] task with humility."
If you follow that advice, you will remain faithful to our mission.
The mission attracted me to work in this Department, but what I treasure most are the people who faithfully carry out the mission.
I am grateful for your service, and I am honored to work with you in the cause of justice.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein Announces Edward O'Callaghan as Acting Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein today announced that Edward O'Callaghan will serve as the Acting Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General. O'Callaghan, who has been serving as the Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the National Security Division, will replace Robert Hur, who is succeeding Rosenstein as the United States Attorney in the District of Maryland.
"Edward O'Callaghan has served the Department of Justice with distinction, excelling as a prosecutor in the Southern District of New York and most recently as the Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the National Security Division. His experiences in a variety of roles throughout the Department will be invaluable as we work to protect our national security, reduce violent crime, and promote the rule of law," said Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein. "I also want to thank Robert Hur for serving as the Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General. His counsel was invaluable over the past ten months and I look forward to seeing him thrive as the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland."
Rosenstein to Meet Trump THursday Amid Chaos Over Resignation
MSM are trying to push their agenda by saying RR is resigning because Trump is getting to fire him.
Per a source close to Rosenstein: "He's expecting to be fired," so he plans to step down.
WSJ is now reporting that Rosenstein hasn't tendered his resignation - at least not yet. "The situation is still fluid," the paper said.
Update 3: The White House has finally weighed in on the Rosenstein "is he in or out" controversy. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has said that Rosenstein will meet with Trump on THursday.
"At the request of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, he and President Trump had an extended conversation to discuss the recent news stories," White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said. "Because the President is at the United Nations General Assembly and has a full schedule with leaders from around the world, they will meet on THursday when the President returns to Washington, DC."
White House: Rod Rosenstein Not Fired, Will Meet with President Trump on THursday
POTUS will not have to fire him, doesn't want him or Mueller fired, wants them both right where they are for now, otherwise they both would've already been gone. He, [RR], will resign as the DECLAS will force him to resign. He cannot oversee an investigation that he will be a key witness in, this would be a blatant conflict of interest. Also if he remains employed at DOJ he can be forced to testify under oath and penalty of law if perjury is committed and they can't have that either. Q-uite a pickel they've created for themselves. "we have it all" Q. Trust the plan.

Agreed. The motto of ms-13 is 'rape, kill, control'
mata, viola, controla
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/05/23/what-is-ms-13-violent-gang-trump-vowed-to-target.html
"MS-13's motto is "mata, viola, controla" - which means "kill, rape, control," according to Robert Hur, an official with the Justice Department.
"They seek to live up to this motto through truly shocking acts of violence designed to instill fear: vicious machete attacks, execution-style gunshots, gang rape and human trafficking."
Gang members perpetuate a number of various criminal acts, according to the FBI, including: murder, rape, home invasions, kidnapping, carjacking and robbery. The FBI said most of the crimes are carried out against members of rival gangs, but "often" innocent people are Hurt as well."

Before He Was FBI Director, Chris Wray Supervised an Investigation That Found Erik Prince Likely Broke U.S. Law
As a private attorney in 2016, FBI Director Chris Wray supervised a team of lawyers that informed the Justice Department that Blackwater founder Erik Prince had likely violated U.S. law while trying to sell secretly modified paramilitary attack aircraft to Azerbaijan's military.
Wray and Robert Hur, now a senior Justice Department official, were both partners at the powerhouse law firm King & Spalding in 2015 when officials at Prince's Hong Kong-based logistics company, Frontier Services Group, discovered suspicious activity by Prince over the proposed sale of the planes. Hur is currently the top lieutenant to Rod Rosenstein, the U.S. deputy attorney general. At King & Spalding, he was one of the lead lawyers on the Prince investigation.
FSG retained King & Spalding to conduct a review of the company's legal exposure to violations of U.S. law on weapons sales and the export of defense services to foreign governments and militaries. The attorneys concluded that Prince could potentially be charged with brokering defense articles without a license, according to a copy of the review obtained by The Intercept. The FSG-hired lawyers briefed the Obama Justice Department's National Security Division in February 2016 on Prince's activities and, a month later, FSG's CEO notified the State Department that FSG intended to voluntarily report its possible violations of U.S. defense export laws.
"The potential violations stem principally from conduct of Mr. Prince, a U.S. person," CEO Gregg Smith wrote to the director of the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, which regulates the export of defense articles and services, in a letter obtained by The Intercept.
