Macrons trip to China

https:// www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/01/08/frances-macron-visits-china-to-talk-fairer-trade-and-the-future/?utm_term=.9fc7230e545d

 

Macron, at the age of 39, became the youngest President in the history of France.

 

Upon his inauguration, Macron appointed Le Havre Mayor Édouard Philippe who works for

Debevoise & Plimpton LLP

Badri Patarkatsishvili

 

The controversial Georgian businessman Badri Patarkatsishvili spent six hours of his final day at the offices of Debevoise & Plimpton, meeting his lawyer Lord Goldsmith QC, shortly before being driven to Boris Berezovsky's office in Mayfair and then to his country mansion in Leatherhead, Surrey, where he collapsed and died of a heart attack at the age of 52.

 

Attorneys from Debevoise & Plimpton worked on behalf of prisoners held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba.[15][16][17] Jeff Lang, of Debevoise & Plimpton, was one of the first Guantanamo Bay attorneys to file an appeal in the Federal appeal court in Washington DC of prisoners' Combatant Status Review Tribunal proceedings. The Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 included provision for prisoners to challenge whether the Tribunals' decisions complied with the Tribunal's mandate. Charles "Cully" Stimson, then Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Detainee Affairs, stirred controversy when he went on record criticizing the patriotism of law firms that allowed employees to assist Guantanamo prisoners: "corporate CEOs seeing this should ask firms to choose between lucrative retainers and representing terrorists."[18] Stimson's views were widely criticized. The Pentagon disavowed them, and Stimson resigned shortly thereafter.

The Justice Department and the FBI began by investigating possible criminal

actions by Keating and John Granger, but then expanded its inquiries to include

the five senators. The FBI soon focused their attention on Cranston, because

the largest sums of money from Keating came into Cranston-involved voter

-registration drives whose tax-exempt status might have been violated

 

Cranston had received $39,000 from Keating and his associates for his 1986

Senate re-election campaign

 

Keating had donated some $850,000 to assorted groups founded by Cranston or

controlled by him another $85,000 to the California Democratic Party

 

DeConcini had received about $48,000 from Keating and his associates for

his 1988 Senate re-election campaign

 

September 1989, after the government sued Keating and American Continental

for improper actions regarding contributions, DeConcini returned the money

 

Glenn had received $34,000 in direct contributions from Keating and his

associates for his 1984 presidential nomination campaign

 

a political action committee tied to Glenn had received an additional $200,000

 

McCain and Keating had become personal friends following their initial

contacts in 1981

 

McCain was the only one of the five with close social and personal ties to Keating

 

Between 1982 and 1987, McCain had received $112,000 in political contributions

from Keating and his associates

 

April 1986 a year before McCain met with the regulators wife Cindy McCain and

her father Jim Hensley had invested $359,100 in the Fountain Square Project, a

Keating shopping center

https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cindy_McCain

https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Hensley

 

>>>McCain, his family, and their baby-sitter had made nine trips at Keating's expense,

sometimes aboard Keating's jet; three of the trips were made during vacations to

Keating's Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay. McCain did not pay Keating (in the

amount of $13,433) for some of the trips until years after they were taken, when

he learned that Keating was in trouble over Lincoln

currently a partner at the international law firm Debevoise & Plimpton.

He was appointed as Attorney General by President George W. Bush following the resignation of Alberto Gonzales

During his service on the bench, Mukasey presided over the criminal prosecution of Omar Abdel Rahman and El Sayyid Nosair, whom he sentenced to life in prison for a plot to blow up the United Nations and other Manhattan landmarks uncovered during an investigation into the 1993 World Trade Center bombing also Justices Brandeis and Frankfurter

Mukasey also presided over the trial of Jose Padilla, ruling that the U.S. citizen and alleged terrorist could be held as an enemy combatant but was entitled to see his lawyers. Mukasey also was the judge in the litigation between developer Larry Silverstein and several insurance companies arising from the destruction of the World Trade Center

New York Senator Charles Schumer submitted Mukasey's name, along with four other Republicans or Republican appointees, as a suggestion for Bush to consider for nomination to the Supreme Court

October 14, 2004-Mukasey reversed his September 2002 decision and dismissed a case in which plaintiffs in twenty consolidated actions sued the Italian insurance company Generali S.p.A. (Generali)

On September 12, 2006, Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler announced that Mukasey had rejoined the firm as a partner

By November 1, 2007 five senators – Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, Joseph Biden of Delaware, John Kerry of Massachusetts, Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts and Bernie Sanders of Vermont – in addition to Leahy had announced their intention to vote against Mukasey's confirmation due to concerns about his stance on torture.[37][38] Nevertheless, on November 6 the Senate Judiciary Committee endorsed the nomination of Mukasey, by an 11 to 8 vote, and sent his confirmation on to the full Senate.[39] Two days later, the Senate confirmed Mukasey by a 53–40 vote.[40] The tight vote was the narrowest margin to confirm an attorney general in more than 50 years.[41] Mukasey was sworn in at a private ceremony on November 9, 2007.[42]

 

In 2009, legal ethics complaints were filed against Mukasey and other Bush administration attorneys for their roles in advocating torture
