"Petitioner seeks a writ of mandamus and moves for a stay of the district court's criminal proceeding pending decision on the mandamus petition.

1. In Reza #Zarrab sequel, defendant #Halkbank, #Turkey's state controlled bank's attorneys King & Splaulding filed a motion to withdraw. Declaration says Robert Cary of William & Connolly filed appearance but I haven't seen it Cary handles attorney malpractice and white collar. 
2. I don't practice in criminal court. A long time ago a competent criminal defense tax attorney told me that if you're the lawyer who was around when the alleged crime occurred it was likely the Govt would seek to get a ruling the attorney-client privilege did not apply.
3. In that case the former attorney could be compelled to testify against their recently former client. Possible that K&S was served with a grand jury subpoena or knows it's coming soon.

Adm McRaven; If Trump doesnât demonstrate the leadership that US needs, then it is time for a new person in the Oval Office.
Pelosi: Impeachment is about protecting the Constitution of the US.
The elections are about Trump's depravity in the face of millions

1/ âThis is one of the most serious Iran sanctions violations we have seenâ - U.S. Justice Dept. official on indictment of Turkey's Halkbank on sanctions violations. Important development via @EricLiptonNYT nyti.ms/32kU7lU
@EricLiptonNYT 2/ The charges against Halkbank come as Trump's administration "sought ways to project that it was taking a tough line with Turkey after Trump effectively signaled this month that the United States would not stand in the way of Turkeyâs desire to send forces into northern Syria."
@EricLiptonNYT 3/ If the Halkbank case goes to trial in N.Y., it could mean a return to the witness stand for Reza #Zarrab, the Turkish-Iranian gold trader who pleaded guilty, has been cooperating with the U.S. and testified against a bank official, Hakan Atilla, who was convicted last year.
1. I reported on #Zarrab case starting with his Miami arrest in 2015. Based on knowledge of the way the new indictments are handled on line, I conclude there are more coming and from the one released by #SDNY re Turkeyâs state owned Halkbank, and references to Erdogan and
2. his son-in-law plus the disclosure of apparent super top-secret #702FISA intercepts of Erdogan going back to 2013, I predict the sealed #SDNY indictments include ones for Erdogan and his family. And I think that @vp @WHNSC @SecPompeo are

In the Age of Trump, Judge Reflects on DâSouza and the âNew Rudyâ #Zarrab courthousenews.com/on-the-bench-iâŚ
Rudy hired to be the go-between between Trump and Erdogan - per Judge Berman:
Evidence in Zarrab case indicates Rudyâs (old) firm, Greenberg Traurig acted as a foreign agent. (Which, they were on a #FARA for since 2014.)
1. @lawrence. There's still something going on with the #Zarrab case. I have reported on the case since he was arrested in Miami. They keep doing things in the case long after is was over that look to me like grand jury activity. They did it again yesterday.
2. Somebody needs to get the @TheJusticeDept inspector general involved. @JusticeOIG. I have carefully analyzed these yellow highlighted "SEALED DOCUMENT placed in vault" docket notations earlier in the case and they were mostly related to superseding indictments
3. or occasionally a plea related document. In my opinion, they appear to me that Trump's USA Berman is using the the grand jury to extort people connected with the Zarrab bank fraud and sanctions crimes. I had the feeling, a hunch, it was related to Erdogan or his family.
Trump Urged Then-Secretary of State Tillerson to Help Drop DOJ Case Against Giulianiâs Client: Report #RezaZarrab #TrumpTowersIstanblul thedailybeast.com/trump-urged-ex⌠via @thedailybeast
@thedailybeast "President Trump urged then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to help convince the Justice Department to drop a criminal case against Iranian-Turkish trader Reza Zarrabâthen a client of Rudy Giulianiâin a 2017 Oval Office meeting, according to Bloomberg."
"Tillerson reportedly refused, saying the move would amount to interference in an active investigation. He is also said to have emphasized to then-CoS John Kelly in a separate conversation that the request to the DOJ would be illegal...." #RezaZarrab #TrumpTowersIstanbul
