Morning Docket: 09.30.19
* In a series of tweets (because where else would this happen), President Donald Trump demanded to meet the Ukraine whistleblower, accused the person who gave information to the whistleblower of being a spy, and said he wanted House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff “questioned at the highest level for Fraud & Treason.” [The Hill] * In related news, the Ukraine whistleblower is expected to testify before Congress “very soon,” and he’ll be given all of the protection he’s due, including the concealment of his identity (especially considering the fact that the president recently warned that he’d face “big consequences” for his actions). [Wall Street Journal] * According to a recent poll, more than half of Americans now approve of the Trump impeachment inquiry, but there’s division across political lines over whether the president actually deserves to be impeached. [CBS News] * Jones Day has filed a motion to dismiss against the married former associates who sued over the firm’s parental leave plan, claiming their policies are “sex-neutral in every respect” and calling the the lawsuit “legally meritless.” [American Lawyer] * Here’s an update on Robert Cicale, the judge who pleaded guilty to a felony after breaking into a former intern’s home and stealing her underwear: His suspension will now be without pay, and he’ll lose his license to practice upon sentencing. [New York Law Journal] * Plato Cacheris, a premier member of Washington’s defense bar who played prominent roles in the Watergate, Iran-contra, and Clinton/Lewinsky affair scandals, RIP.
