| "He leaked." "Who leaked?" "We all leaked." |
It is never a good thing to have your name smeared in the public record.
The Detroit News is a keeper of the public record, so for them to publish information taken from an unsealed court document, which, mind you, was immediately resealed that same day, to me, is nothing more than a leak.
If this information is supposed to be sealed, should not have the Detroit News known it was supposed to be sealed, by conferring with its legal team before illumminating these public figures in a false light?
This is not good because it is a leak.
How come the name of the "non-governmental attorney" who filed the unsealed wiretap application was not identified in this publication, below?
There are even rumors floating around that there are other names listed, but, since the public must rely upon the initial reporting of The Detroit News, I guess we must just take the word of the media for it.
Then, I have an issue with PACER.
PACER criminal sealed documents are not accessible electronically which means the application for the wiretap was manually uploaded as a separate document.
Then, Dan Lemisch, puts out a mundane statement to the leaking.
“Certain sensitive investigative documents were inadvertently filed on the public docket by a non-governmental attorney,” acting U.S. Attorney Daniel Lemisch told The News in a statement Tuesday. “There’s a reason why such documents are filed under seal. They may contain allegations against individuals, including public officials, that never rise to the level of criminality. It’s unfair to impugn the character of anyone, especially a public official, with an investigative document that the public official never gets to contest in open court. That’s the reason why these documents should be, and now are, back under seal.”

Welcome back, Matt.
Daniel L. Lemisch was appointed Acting U.S. Attorney on March 11, 2017.
See, POTUS has yet to appoint any U.S. District Attorneys, and I think I know the reason why.
Fraud.
Hmmmmmm, what better way to vacate a post than with a leak.
What better way to expedite an investigation of fraud than to watch them scatter like roaches when the light comes on in a filthy kitchen?
If I have uttered this deduction in error, then correct me in the comments, below.
Stay tuned.
(WJBK) - A Wayne County judge is coming forward to clear her name after some high profile people came up in connection with a corruption investigation in Wayne and Macomb Counties.
Wayne County Judge Vonda Evans' name, along with more than a dozen others, was accidentally released in an online FBI document connected to a federal corruption probe.
Attorney Todd Perkins speaking on behalf Evans says he was contacted Tuesday by the U.S attorney's office, which confirmed Judge Evans was not a target or suspect in that case.
"She is relieved. She understands the process. She understands what happens in the legal arena, and what happens in investigations and being a part of that she understands," Perkins said.
The records accidentally filed by another attorney were federal wiretap documents, which contained a list of officials at one point considered "target subjects." The affidavit was filed to seek wiretapping approval for towing businessman Gasper Fiore, who recently pleaded guilty to bribery.
Besides Judge Evans, others named included Wayne County Sheriff Benny Naploeon, Detroit City Councilman Gabe Leland, and former State Reps Brian Banks and Albera Tinsley-Talabi.
FOX 2 is told soon as the mistake was discovered the documents were immediately re-sealed. But there were several high profile people on that list isn't there questions as to why they were being targeted in the first place?
"That's what the general public would typically want to know but as a lawyer these are things that happen in this forum. The government investigates individuals and during the course of an investigation, they fare it out someone who they're going to prosecute and someone who they're not going to prosecute," Perkins said.
In a statement acting U.S. attorney Dan Lemisch told Fox 2:
"There's a reason why such documents are filed under seal. They may contain allegations against individuals, including public officials, that never rise to the level of criminality. It is unfair to impugn the character of anyone."

All one would have to do is replace the names and change the narrative of the offense.
Stay tuned.
