Morning Docket: 03.13.19
* Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) of the House Intelligence Committee is none too pleased with the Justice Department at the moment. Apparently two unnamed senior officials said the DOJ might refuse to share special counsel Robert Mueller's report with Congress, a claim Schiff called "absolutely insupportable." [ABC News] * Last week, Paul Manafort was sentenced to under four years in jail by Judge T.S. Ellis III (just a little less than the 19 to 24 years called for in the sentencing guidelines), and today, Judge Amy Berman Jackson could sentence him to up to 10 years behind bars. [The Hill] * Michael Avenatti and Stormy Daniels have officially "broken up" (i.e., their attorney/client relationship has ended), and their announcement was obviously made on Twitter. Clark Brewster will now serve as her personal lawyer. [Daily Beast] * In case you missed it, the federal judiciary announced a major change to how it will respond to allegations of sexual misconduct. Per Chief Judge Merrick Garland of the D.C. Circuit, it is now "misconduct not to report misconduct." [Big Law Business] * "[I]f this deal is not passed, then Brexit could be lost." Unconvinced, British lawmakers have once again rejected Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit plan to leave the European Union. Will this be the end of Brexit? [USA Today] * Women lawyers continue to push for lactation rooms in courthouses across the country, and now, the ABA House of Delegates has passed a resolution to make sure all courts create proper facilities for mothers who need to pump or nurse. [Law.com] * Elon Musk claims that the Securities and Exchange Commission is trying to unconstitutionally censor him and "trample on" his First Amendment rights. This is all over a tweet on Twitter, mind you. [Wall Street Journal (sub. req.)]
