In SDNY on Parnas 4 Judge Oetken Resets Feb 1 As Trial Date Said No FISA Violations

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Periscope

SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 15 – Whether any US government agency engaged in wiretapping not authorized by a court in connection with the prosecution of Lev Parnas, Igor Fruman, David Correia and Andrey Kukushkin came up near the end of a conference in the case on December 2, live-tweeted by Inner City Press here. More on Patreon, here.

 Now on April 15, amid Coronavirus, the entire trial has been pushed back past the election, and into 2021: "as to Lev Parnas (1), Igor Fruman (2), David Correia (3), Andrey Kukushkin (4) granting [109] JOINT LETTER MOTION addressed to Judge J. Paul Oetken from AUSAs Douglas Zolkind, Nicolas Roos, and Rebekah Donaleski dated April 14, 2020 re: Proposed adjournment of pretrial schedule. ENDORSEMENT: The parties request to adjourn the trial date and pretrial deadlines is granted. Pretrial motions shall be filed by October 5, 2020; responses by November 2, 2020; and replies by November 16, 2020.... The trial date is hereby adjourned to February 1, 2021. The court hereby excludes time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.s.C. 3161(h)(7)(A), through February 1, 2021, finding that the ends of justice outweigh the interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial for the reasons stated in this letter. (Signed by Judge J. Paul Oetken on 4/15/2020)."

  Back on February 3 SDNY Judge Oetken began the scheduled conference by shooting down the FISA violation arguments, citing decisions by the Second Circuit and his fellow SDNY Judges Edgardo Ramos and Paul Engelmayer.  He asked the prosecutors about the progress of discovery.

  There are still 20 devices not "cracked," although it is complicated because with subpoenas for iCloud accounts, multiple devices' information is revealed.

  A trial date of October 5 was set, with another conference if necessary penciled in for July 16 at 2:30 pm. Afterward in front of 40 Foley Square Parnas' lawyer Bondy snarked at the impeachment trial as a trial by friends; Parnas said he's trying to get the truly about Trump and Giuliani and Ukraine out, but declined to answer if he is cooperating. Then he got into a big black car, saying he was glad to be back in New York. Inner City Press Periscope video here.

 Inner City Press said it would be there- and it was. The case is US v. Parnas, et al., 19-cr-00725 (Oetken).
