Since I am not an attorney I was wary that this book would be dry and incomprehensibly drenched in legalese. It was not. In fact it was so beautifully written that every page just sang while still covering the very intense moments played out throughout the book so that every circumstance was easily understandable. Beautifully written, it covered a subject matter that contained little beauty at all. It is a damning indictment of what is supposed to be the epitome of our country's 'justice' system, our corrupt and corrupting Department of Justice as well as a few courtrooms in this country, to boot. Reading this book made me so angry and beyond the anger a feeling of despair that the faith that we should have in our justice system cannot be justified.So many lives ruined because a few (or many) justice department lawyers apparently valued their own upward career mobility over the very reason for their existence in their positions...JUSTICE. To lie, to cheat, to win at all costs (not their's) is the game. To treat defendants as numbers instead of human beings who deserve the presumption of innocence and the right to a speedy defense (that doesn't take years from someone's life) seems the rule. To spend millions of taxpayer dollars to drag out lengthy trials over many years is just an advantage to be taken while the lies continue and the defendant's bank accounts are emptied. The 'liberty and justice for all' that we believe is available to us is just an empty promise today. This is a wonderfully informative book but oh, so, sad. Ms. Powell is owed a debt of gratitude from the citizens of this country for exposing the wrongs she witnessed.
I am not a lawyer, and as my lawyer friend and once fellow Amazon reviewer would quip: “and maybe that is a good thing.†A few years back he recommended an excellent book to me on how the back of legal racial segregation was broken, primarily by four men, all justices on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The book is Jack Bass’ Unlikely Heroes, and my review of it is posted on Amazon. About a fourth of the way through “Licensed to Lie,†if I needed further confirmation that I was in good hands, Sidney Powell said of Bass’ book: “One of my most prized possessions is a copy autographed by most of the judges mentioned in it.â€Sidney Powell worked for 10 years as an Assistant US Attorney in the Justice Department. She was the youngest person ever appointed to such a position. At one level, she was a “true believer,†thinking that the department that she once worked for should reflect its name. This is a deeply disillusioned account of utter corruption within her former employer. The subtitle though is somewhat misleading, since her disillusionment extends far beyond her former employer – it encompasses many Federal judges. As Powell says: “God, I thought, what I would have given for Judge Sullivan to have had this case – or any judge with common sense, fortitude, and a moral compass for which true North was fundamental fairness.†Or, as I might say, to find just one judge who would not buy an excuse from a Justice Department lawyer that is the equivalent of: “But your honor, my pet rock ate my homework.â€Powell’s account covers two major legal actions. The first was the corruption case against Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska. He was convicted, and would lose his bid for re-election, and he had been the longest serving Republican Senator. His conviction was eventually overturned, for gross prosecutorial misconduct. It was in this case that the above-named Judge Sullivan ordered an investigation of the prosecutors – which is so rarely done – for failure to provide the “Brady†evidence (which was a new concept to me), essentially withholding key evidence that would have exonerated Senator Stevens. The major legal action involved the fallout of the collapse of Enron due to massive financial fraud. Sidney Powell had a client in this case – an executive, Jim Brown, with a major Wall Street brokerage company, and she details the multi-year legal actions involved.Powell has written a “page-turner.†A difficult feat, given the often-dull machinations in the legal field. As in Bass’ book, there really is much high-drama, including an event she brings out early in the book, the suicide of Federal prosecutor Nicholas Marsh, who played a lead role in the Stevens prosecution. Powell also achieved a feat worth noting, an important one in writing a book: she changed my mind. Weren’t they all “guiltyâ€? As Powell notes in the account, given the devastating impact Enron’s collapse had on Houston, it was difficult to find an impartial jury, and I’ll admit I would have been in that crowd. Hadn’t Brown’s brokerage firm stolen money from me… and in a separate case, my brother? Not, mind you, “mismanaged.†Actually, flat-out, stolen. (Note: in the interest of full disclosure, in both cases, the money was returned, but only after a substantial battle). And then there are the “banks too big to fail†that are invariably concocting some additional and unauthorized fee to charge you. “Lock ‘em all up.†And Powell convinced me that there really was much injustice in all this, and such an attitude that I had… perhaps the worst part is that the real crooks always seem to get away.Powell names names: Andrew Weissmann and Kathryn Ruemmler, (who was at one time “short-listed†to be the Attorney General) along with Friedrich, at (in)Justice. Judge Werlein, and much of the Fifth Circuit, which Powell once held in high regard. Her client, Jim Brown, would do prison time. In fact, his legal case, and the various remands, obfuscations, and evasions of judicial responsibility along with the vendetta waged by the (in)Justice Department would span more time that the six years that Andy Fastow, the ultimate crook in this case, spent in prison.A botched investigations, and a botched prosecution, and an essential governmental agency whose “players,†(and that, sadly, is an apt description) lack that “moral compass†where the only rules seem to be those of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. This book would have been an ideal candidate for my special “6-star†rating, but I felt that Powell overlooked some of the larger issues of corruption, particularly in the financial sector, and our society’s utter failure to hold anyone accountable – like for the three trillion the Fed paid to bail out Wall Street when the various frauds in the housing sector collapsed in 2008. How many Enron employees lost their life savings, with the collapse of the stock that was stuffed in their 401k’s? And how many Enron “big boys†were able to bail out in time? But don’t get me started…Oh, and there are the additional ironies that would be thrown out of an outlandish Hollywood movie as being unbelievable. (Former) Chief Justice Alex Kozinski of the 9th Circuit wrote the introduction to this work, saying, inter alia, “...professional discipline is non-existent.†Kozinski has recently been forced to resign over multiple allegations of sexual harassment. Now people are looking at his own decisions, for example, in “Swenson v. Potter,†which reversed a jury decision in a sexual harassment case, and thereby Kozinski found for the government agency, and its own misconduct.Ancient history? Hardly. DOJ attorneys continue to lie to Federal judges, and those judges continue to accept their blatant “pet rock ate my homework†lies. I should know. 5-stars for Powell’s important account.
Do not delay selecting the book Licensed to Lie and reading Sidney Powell's case for her client Mr. Brown who she worked with for nearly a decade in the appeals process after the Enron prosecutors pushed indictments and selected the information and even witnesses that would be available to the defense teams. The case overlaps with other Enron cases and the Senator Ted Stevens case that were mostly reversed in the appeals process because the prosecution teams included several of the same prosecutors or were supervised by lead prosecutors. Sidney Powell names the prosecutors and associates in the case as well as the judges throughout the process. People went to prison on convictions for things that were not crimes. Witnesses in the case were threatened with indictment. Then there is the death of the senator and the suicide of a prosecutor. The book is a page turner and considering that the same people from the FBI, DOJ, and special investigation team of Robert Mueller are back in the news everyone should read this book now. Be sure to check out Sidney Powell's web site where a number of supporting documents and articles are posted. Excellent resource!
As a federal criminal defense attorney for nearly 20 years, this book resounded LOUDLY with me. The acts of the U.S. Attorney that she describes are endemic. I have been lied to, threatened with bar complaints and had complaints made to judges behind my back, all for trying to provide a zealous defense to my client. Everything Sidney Powell says here is true.Not only is it true, but it's a page turner, including back stories of people whose lives were ruined by aggressive prosecutors. If you are interested in justice and the corruption of the process designed to provide it, READ THIS BOOK.
