 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

v.

Crim. No. 17-232 (EGS)

MICHAEL T. FLYNN,
Defendant.

NOTICE OF INTENT OF WATERGATE PROSECUTORS
TO FILE MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE BRIEF AS AMICUS CURIAE OR
APPLICATION UNDER LOCAL RULE 57.6
On May 7, 2020, the Government filed a Motion to Dismiss the Criminal Information
Against the Defendant Michael T. Flynn (DE # 198) (“Motion”). A group of 16 former members
of the Watergate Special Prosecution Force of the Department of Justice, 1 through the undersigned
counsel, hereby provides notice of its intent to file a motion for leave to file a brief as amicus
curiae, other appropriate application (see Local Rule Crim. P. 57.6), or both. The Watergate
Prosecutors intend to address, without limitation, the scope of this Court’s authority to decide the
Motion; the procedures that the Court can and should follow, such as conducting a hearing or
potentially appointing counsel to assist the Court; whether a dismissal, if any, should be with or

1

The Watergate Prosecutors are: Nick Akerman, Richard Ben-Veniste, Richard J. Davis, Carl B.
Feldbaum, George T. Frampton, Jr., Kenneth S. Geller, Gerald Goldman, Stephen E. Haberfeld,
Henry L. Hecht, Paul R. Hoeber, Philip Allen Lacovara, Paul R. Michel, Robert L. Palmer, Frank
Tuerkheimer, Jill Wine-Banks, and Roger Witten. Their qualifications and interest in this matter
are summarized in an attachment to this notice.

- 66 -

 without prejudice; and whether the Court should instead deny the Motion and proceed to
sentencing.
The Motion raises serious questions concerning this Court’s authority under Federal Rule
of Criminal Procedure 48(a) and Article III of the United States Constitution, and the Court will
not receive a full, fair, and adverse presentation of these issues from the parties in light of the
Government’s change in position. The Government’s position is that, even at this late stage, after
a pair of guilty pleas accepted by court order, and the Court’s fulfillment of its responsibilities
under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11, it may freely dismiss this prosecution so long as the
Defendant consents. Motion at 11. The government admonishes the Court not to “second-guess”
its determination that dismissal is in the public interest. Id.
But the D.C. Circuit has explained, in a decision that the Government fails to cite, that
“considerations[] other than protection of [the] defendant . . . have been taken into account by
courts” when evaluating consented-to dismissal motions under Rule 48(a). United States v.
Ammidown, 497 F.2d 615, 620 (D.C. Cir. 1973). Courts have exercised their authority under Rule
48(a) where “it appears that the assigned reason for the dismissal has no basis in fact.” Id. at 620–
21. Even when the Government represents that the evidence is not sufficient to warrant
prosecution, courts have sought to “satisf[y]” themselves that there has been “a considered
judgment” and “an application [for dismissal] made in good faith.” Id. at 620.
Other Circuits have similarly held that a court may investigate, including through hearings
if necessary, whether “the prosecutor is motivated by considerations clearly contrary to the
manifest public interest.” United States v. Hamm, 659 F.2d 624, 628 (5th Cir. 1981); see In re
Richards, 213 F.3d 773, 789 (3d Cir. 2000) (holding that district court could hold hearing to
“appropriately inquire into whether there were any improprieties attending the Government’s

2
- 67 -

 petition to dismiss the Richards’s prosecution.”); United States v. Cowan, 524 F.2d 504, 513 (5th
Cir. 1975) (“[I]t seems altogether proper to say that the phrase ‘by leave of court’ in Rule 48(a)
was intended to modify and condition the absolute power of the Executive, consistently with the
Framers’ concept of Separation of Powers, by erecting a check on the abuse of Executive
prerogatives.”). The Supreme Court has recognized uncertainty as to the scope of a district court’s
discretion in ruling on a consented-to motion under Rule 48(a) and has declined to resolve the
issue. Rinaldi v. United States, 434 U.S. 22, 29 n.15 (1977). There are at least substantial questions
as to whether factual representations in the Motion are accurate and whether the Motion is made
in good faith and consistent with the public interest. See, e.g., Mary B. McCord, Bill Barr Twisted

https://bit.ly/2YR2kzu.
The Government’s Motion also does not adequately address questions of this Court’s
heightened Article III role in light of the posture of this case, with the Defendant having pled guilty
and awaiting sentencing. A guilty plea represents a turning point between “the Executive’s
traditional power over charging decisions and the Judiciary’s traditional authority over sentencing
decisions.” United States v. Fokker Servs. B.V., 818 F.3d 733, 746 (D.C. Cir. 2016). When a court
accepts a plea agreement, it “enters a judgment of conviction, which in turn carries immediate
sentencing implications.” Id.; see also United States v. Hector, 577 F.3d 1099, 1100 n.1 (9th Cir.
2009) (“[O]nce a guilty plea has been accepted, the defendant stands convicted.”); United States
v. Brayboy, 806 F. Supp. 1576, 1580 (S.D. Fla. 1992) (holding that government’s post-verdict Rule
48(a) motion was an attempt to “remove this Court’s sentencing authority” and “is exactly th[e]

3
- 68 -

 type of absolute control by one branch over a power properly vested with another branch that the
constitutional scheme of separation of powers prohibits”).
No party before the Court will address the question whether the Government’s proffered
reasons for dismissal have a “basis in fact,” Ammidown, 497 F.2d at 621, or other reasons that may
lead the Court to conclude that it should not grant the Motion. The Watergate Prosecutors, for
reasons set forth in the accompanying Statement of Interest, are uniquely suited to help ensure a
fair presentation of the issues raised by the Government’s Motion, which include, without
limitation, the accuracy of the facts and law presented in the Motion, the significance of the
Defendant’s prior admissions of guilt and this Court’s orders to date, the Trump administration’s
opposition to the prosecution of the Defendant, and whether the Government’s change of position
reflects improper political influence undermining determinations made by the Special Counsel’s
Office.
This Court is fully empowered to obtain guidance from amici or otherwise. See United
States v. Microsoft Corp., 2002 WL 319366, at *1 (D.D.C. Feb. 28, 2002). “Amicus participation
is normally appropriate . . . ‘when the amicus has unique information or perspective that can help
the court beyond the help that the lawyers for the parties are able to provide.’” Hard Drive Prods.,
Inc. v. Does 1-1,495, 892 F. Supp. 2d 334, 337 (D.D.C. 2012) (quoting Jin v. Ministry of State
Sec., 557 F. Supp. 2d 131, 137 (D.D.C. 2008)); see also United States v. Arpaio, 887 F.3d 979,
981-82 (9th Cir. 2018) (recognizing in context of contempt proceedings the “inherent authority”
of courts to appoint amici to provide full briefing and argument in defense of position abandoned
by the United States).
The Watergate Prosecutors propose to file their motion for leave to file an amicus curiae
brief or application under Local Rule 57.6, along with a proposed brief, by no later than May 21,

 2020, the date on which a response to the Government’s Motion would ordinarily be due. See

 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

v.

Crim. No. 17-232 (EGS)

MICHAEL T. FLYNN,
Defendant.
STATEMENT OF INTEREST
Proposed Amici Curiae (“Amici”) served on the Watergate Special Prosecution Force,
which investigated the Watergate scandal between 1973 and 1977. Amici are: Nick Akerman,
Richard Ben-Veniste, Richard J. Davis, Carl B. Feldbaum, George T. Frampton, Jr., Kenneth S.
Geller, Gerald Goldman, Stephen E. Haberfeld, Henry L. Hecht, Paul R. Hoeber, Philip Allen
Lacovara, Paul R. Michel, Robert L. Palmer, Frank Tuerkheimer, Jill Wine-Banks, and Roger
Witten. Amici have also held positions in government, in academia, and in private practice.
In their roles as Watergate prosecutors, Amici investigated serious abuses of power by
President Richard M. Nixon and prosecuted many of President Nixon’s aides for their complicity
in his offenses. More than any other episode in modern American history, the Watergate scandal
exemplified how unchecked political influence in the Justice Department can corrode the public
trust. As Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox explained, his office was established to “restore
confidence, honor, and integrity in government.” 1

George Lardner, Jr., Cox Is Chosen as Special Prosecutor, THE WASHINGTON POST (May 19, 1973),
https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/watergate/articles/051973-1.htm.

- 71 -

 The investigations by the Watergate Prosecutors led to the filing of criminal charges against
two former Attorneys General for corruptly abusing their official powers in order to interfere with
the objective, professional investigation and prosecution of federal crimes. Moreover, during their
work in pursuing investigation of obstruction of justice by a number of senior federal officials,
including White House officials, Amici experienced the “Saturday Night Massacre,” during which
an honorable Attorney General and an honorable Deputy Attorney General resigned or were
dismissed rather than obey the instructions of a self-interested President to frustrate the work of an
independent Special Prosecutor. The parallels and the contrasts between the Watergate affair and
the present situation now before this Court make manifest that Amici have a direct and substantial
interest in the proper disposition of the pending Motion directed by the incumbent Attorney
General to protect a close ally of the President.
Here, where the Motion seeks to reverse a prosecutorial judgment previously entrusted to
and made by Special Counsel, Robert Mueller, the value the Watergate Prosecutors’ unique
perspective on the need for independent scrutiny and oversight to ensure that crucial decisions
about prosecutions of high-ranking government officials are made in the public interest, are viewed
as legitimate, and are not subsequently reversed by political intervention. The integrity of
prosecutorial decision making is a cornerstone of the rule of law. Amici have a special interest in
restoring the public trust in prosecutorial decision making and in public confidence in the viability
of future independent investigations and prosecutions if the results of such work are likely to be
subjected to reversal by transparent political influence.

 APPENDIX 3
MAY 12, 2020 MINUTE ORDER

-74-

05/12/2020 

MINUTE ORDER as to MICHAEL T. FLYNN. Given the current posture 
of this case, the Court anticipates that individuals and organizations 
will seek leave of the Court to file amicus curiae briefs pursuant to 
Local Civil Rule 7(o). There is no analogous rule in the Local Criminal 
Rules, but "[the Local Civil] Rules govern all proceedings in the United 
States District Court for the District of Columbia." LCvR 1.1. "An 
amicus curiae, defined as friend of the court,... does not represent the 
parties but participates only for the benefit of the Court." United States 
v. Microsoft Corp., No. 98-cv-1232(CKK), 2002 WL 319366, at *2
(D.D.C. Feb. 28, 2002) (internal quotation marks omitted). Thus, "[i]t
is solely within the court's discretion to determine the fact, extent, and
manner of the participation." Jin v. Ministry of State Sec., 557 F. Supp.
2d 131, 136 (D.D.C. 2008) (citation and internal quotation marks
omitted). "'An amicus brief should normally be allowed when a party
is not represented competently or is not represented at all, when the
amicus has an interest in some other case that may be affected by the
decision in the present case (though not enough affected to entitle the
amicus to intervene and become a party in the present case), or when
the amicus has unique information or perspective that can help the
court beyond the help that the lawyers for the parties are able to
provide. Otherwise, leave to file an amicus curiae brief should be
denied.'" Id. at 137 (quoting Ryan v. Commodity Futures Trading
Comm'n, 125 F.3d 1062, 1064 (7th Cir. 1997)); see also LCvR 7(o).
Although there is no corollary in the Local Criminal Rules to Local
Civil Rule 7(o), a person or entity may seek leave of the Court to file an
amicus curiae brief in a criminal case. See Min. Order, United States v.
Simmons, No. 18-cr-344 (EGS) (D.D.C. May 5, 2020); cf. United States v.
Fokker Servs. B.V., 818 F.3d 733, 740 (D.C. Cir. 2016) (appointing
amicus curiae in a criminal case). As Judge Amy Berman Jackson has
observed, "while there may be individuals with an interest in this
matter, a criminal proceeding is not a free for all." Min. Order, United
States v. Stone, No. 19-cr-18 (ABJ) (D.D.C. Feb. 28, 2019). Accordingly,
at the appropriate time, the Court will enter a Scheduling Order
governing the submission of any amicus curiae briefs. Signed by Judge
Emmet G. Sullivan on 5/12/2020. (lcegs3) (Entered: 05/12/2020)

MOTION OF THE UNITED STATES TO SET ASIDE THE VERDICT
AND DISMISS THE INDICTMENT WITH PREJUDICE
In February 2009, the Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division
appointed undersigned counsel to conduct the post-trial litigation in this matter. In preparing to
respond to defendant Theodore Stevens' various motions and in preparation for a possible
evidentiary hearing, undersigned counsel began collecting and reviewing documents and
interviewing potential witnesses. As the Court is aware, the Government has voluntaril
provided to the defense documents and summaries of witness interviews.
The Government recently discovered that a witness interview of Bill Allen took place on
April 15, 2008. While no memorandum of interview or agent notes exist for this interview, notes
taken by two prosecutors who participated in the April 15 interview reflect that Bill Allen was
asked about a note dated October 6, 2002, that was sent from the defendant to Bill Allen. The
note was introduced at trial as Government Exhibit 495 and was referred to as the "Torricelli
note." The notes of the April 15 interview indicate that Bill Allen said, among other things, in
substance and in part, that he (Bill Allen) did not recall talking to Bob Persons regarding giving a
bill to the defendant. This statement by Allen during the April 15 interview was inconsistent
with Allen's recollection at trial, where he described a conversation with Persons about the

- 80 -

 Case 1:08-cr-00231-EGS

Document 324

Filed 04/01/2009

Page 2 of 5

Torricelli note. Iii addition, the April 15 interview notes indicate that Allen estimated that if his
workers had performed efficiently, the fair market value of the work his corporation performed
on defendant's Girdwood chalet would have been $80,000. Upon the discovery of the interview
notes last week, the Government immediately provided a copy to defense counsel.
Defendant Stevens was not informed prior to or during trial of the statements by Bill
Allen on April 15, 2008. This information could have been used by the defendant to crossexamine Bill Allen and in arguments to the jury. The Government also acknowledges that the
Government's Opposition to Defendant's Motion for a New Trial provided an account of the
Government's interviews of Bill Allen that is inaccurate. See Opposition at 42-43 (Dkt. No.
269).
Given the facts of this particular case, the Government believes that granting a new trial
is in the interest ofjustice. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 33(a). The Government has further determined
that, based on the totality of circumstances and in the interest ofjustice, it will not seek a new

verdict and dismiss the indictment with prejudice.
Further, as the Court is aware, certain matters in this case previously have been referred
to the Office of Professional Responsibility of the Department of Justice. The Government has
supplemented the referral to include the facts concerning the April 1 5th Bill Allen interview.
Once the inquiry into this matter is completed by the Office of Professional Responsibility, the
Government will share the findings of that inquiry with the Court.

ORDER

At the direction of the Attorney General, on April 1, 2009, a newly?appointed team of
prosecutors ?led a Motion to Set Aside the Verdict and Dismiss the Indictment, citing the failure
to produce notes taken by prosecutors in an April 15, 2008 interview of Bill Allen. At a hearing
on April 7, 2009, the government conceded that these notes contained information that the
government was constitutionally required to provide to the defense for use at trial. Despite
repeated defense requests and the Court's repeated admonitions to provide exculpatory
information, the notes were not produced to the defense until March 25?26, 2009, nearly ?ve
months after trial. The Court will grant the Motion.

There was never a judgment of conviction in this case. The jury's verdict is being set
aside and has no legal effect.

The government's Motion is GRANTED. The verdict is hereby set aside and the

   

indictment is hereby dismissed with prejudice. ed. R. Crim.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

CRIMINAL NO. 09-335 (RJL)

GOVERNMENT’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO
DISMISS PURSUANT TO FED. R. CRIM. P. 48(a)
The United States of America, by and through its undersigned attorneys, hereby moves to
dismiss in the above-captioned case (1) the Superseding Indictment against defendants Jonathan
M. Spiller, Haim Geri, and Daniel Alvirez, and Count 1 of the Superseding Information against
defendant Daniel Alvirez, with prejudice, and (2) Count 2 of the Superseding Information
against defendant Daniel Alvirez without prejudice.
1.

On April 16, 2010, Spiller, Geri, Alvirez, and other defendants were charged in a

Superseding Indictment with conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”),
18 U.S.C. § 371, violations of the FCPA, 15 U.S.C. §§ 78dd-1 et seq., and conspiracy to commit
money laundering, 18 U.S.C. § 1956(h). On March 1, 2011, defendant Alvirez was charged in a
two-count Superseding Information. Count 1 charged the same conspiracy to violate the FCPA
that was charged in Count 1 of the Superseding Indictment (“the Gabon conspiracy count”).
Count 2 charged a separate conspiracy to violate the FCPA relating to the sale of military and
law enforcement equipment to the Republic of Georgia (“the Georgia conspiracy count”).
2.

On March 1, 2011, defendant Alvirez pleaded guilty to both counts of the

Superseding Information – the Gabon conspiracy count and the Georgia conspiracy count. On
March 29, 2011, defendant Spiller pleaded guilty to the Gabon conspiracy count. On April 28,

- 85 -

 Case 1:09-cr-00335-RJL Document 693

Filed 03/27/12 Page 2 of 3

2011, defendant Geri pleaded guilty to the Gabon conspiracy count.
3.

On December 22, 2011, at the close of the government’s case in the second trial

conducted in this matter, the Court granted the trial defendants’ motions for judgment of
acquittal, pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 29, as to the Gabon conspiracy count, ruling that there
were structural deficiencies in the conspiracy as it was charged and that the government’s proof
at trial did not establish that conspiracy.
4.

On February 21, 2012, the government moved to dismiss with prejudice the

Superseding Indictment against the defendants who were pending trial, including seven
defendants for whom the Court had granted mistrials following hung juries and nine defendants
who had yet to be tried. The government submitted that the continued prosecution of the case
was not warranted under the circumstances, given the outcomes of the first two trials, the
implications of certain evidentiary and other legal rulings in those trials for future trials, and the
substantial resources that would be necessary to proceed with another four or more trials. In an
Order dated February 23, 2012, the Court granted the government’s motion, and dismissed with
prejudice the Superseding Indictment, and all underlying indictments, against the defendants
who were pending trial.
5.

Based on a review of the record, the government has concluded that the Court’s

ruling in the second trial as to the Gabon conspiracy count would apply equally to defendants
Spiller, Geri, and Alvirez. Although, as the Court knows, the government argued extensively in
opposition to the defendants’ Rule 29 motions and does not agree with the Court’s ruling, the
government accepts the Court’s decision. As a result of the Court’s ruling on the Gabon
conspiracy count, and in light of the reasons set forth in its prior motion to dismiss, the

2

- 86 -

 Case 1:09-cr-00335-RJL Document 693

Filed 03/27/12 Page 3 of 3

government has concluded that further prosecution of the Gabon-related charges against
defendants Spiller, Geri, and Alvirez is unlikely to be successful.
6.

The government has also concluded that it is in the interests of justice not to

prosecute defendant Alvirez on the Georgia conspiracy count at this time, but rather to continue
the investigation of that and related conduct. Following such investigation, the government will
determine whether to bring criminal charges relating to that conduct.
7.

The government has contacted counsel for defendants Spiller, Geri, and Alvirez

and they do not oppose this motion to dismiss.
Accordingly, the government moves pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 48(a) to dismiss in the
above-captioned case (1) the Superseding Indictment against defendants Jonathan M. Spiller,
Haim Geri, and Daniel Alvirez, and Count 1 of the Superseding Information against defendant
Daniel Alvirez, with prejudice, and (2) Count 2 of the Superseding Information against
defendant Daniel Alvirez without prejudice.
