One Q 702 opinion raises: Can someone who used to be top DOJ official use info learned there to argue as amicus? https://www.emptywheel.net/2016/04/22/former-top-holder-aide-says-back-door-searches-violate-fourth-amendment-fisc-judge-thomas-hogan-doesnt-care/ …
@AndyMcCanse It would seem an ethical violation if she was party to Holder discussions abt what to do w/back door searches, no?

@emptywheel It's complicated. Was it atty-client info? Classified? Exec Privileged deliberations? Acting as Whistleblower? -
@AndyMcCanse You probably have a better sense of what Amy Jeffress might have been exposed to than I. -
@emptywheel I have no doubt in her good faith. And I've got no info on the facts here. This is just tricky terrain. -
@AndyMcCanse I'm not suggesting bad faith at all. Suggesting she may know more than she could ethically raise while serving as FISC amicus -
@emptywheel I understand. I just felt duty bound to say it.
