DEVELOPING STORY .....

.
Mr. Jeff Novitzky, an FDA agent better known as the government's "steroid cop.”  Novitzky is a former IRS agent who participated in the investigations of Rogers Clemens and convicted felon Barry Bonds.  During the investigation of controversial Lance Armstrong, both Novitzky and 60 Minutes' Scott Pelley were the subject of false and malicious accusations courtesy of Armstrong's legal team of Keker & Van Nest.   Despite the existence of more plausible and likely explanations regarding the source of alleged leaks (such as, arguendo, Assistant US Attorney Angela Davis and/or former Assistant US Attorney Jayne Kim  -- both confederates of Keker & Van Nest's Jon Streeter) John Keker and Elliot Peters persisted with the attack on the government and Novitzky.  John Keker vexatiously alleged: "While Armstrong has received assurances that the Assistant United States Attorneys involved in the case are not the source of the leaks, it is clear that someone within the government is responsible. There is no other reasonable explanation."   An inappropriate and reckless John Keker further alleged "we know Novitzky and plan to prove that these are his repeated, illegal leaks aimed solely at destroying a true hero."   The Leslie Brodie Report intends to familiarize Jeff Novitzky with the complex events /enmeshment of  John Keker, Tony West, Kamala Harris, and Jon Streeter in connection with sham non-profit entity CaliforniaALL / Voice of OC  for the possibility  that John Keker and Elliot Peters  may have  "blackmailed" Tony West to halt the investigation/prosecution of Lance Armstrong.

Eric Holder, Tony West, André Birotte Jr, Keker & Van Nest,
(L-R) Hon. Eric Holder - US Attorney General ; Tony West - Acting Associate Attorney General, the third highest official at the United States Department of Justice ; André Birotte Jr. - US Attorney for the Central District of California ; Jon Streeter of Keker & Van Nest -- President of the State Bar of California.   Streeter -- in his role as president of the State Bar of California --  is currently  in the process of 1) continuing to cover-up grave misconduct relating to the appointment of Jerome Falk -- attorney who represented Thomas Girardi in a malpractice action -- to act as "special prosecutor"  against Thomas Girardi in the matter of In Re Girardi, per an order issued by the Ninth Circuit.  2) cover-up grave misconduct relating to sham non-profit entity CaliforniaALL / Voice of OC .  As  was stated previously,  a red flag has  been raised over Tony West, James Brosnahn, and Morrison & Foerster due to the overall circumstances surrounding  the misappropriation of 780,000 from the Cal Bar Foundation, as well as  events relating to the California Energy Crisis, Pierce O'Donnell, Thomas Girardi, James Brosnahan,  Martha Escutia, Joe Dunn and Voice of OC.

BALCO TACTIC -- criminal defense team orchestrates  leaks of confidential information for the sole purpose of accusing  government agents of same i.e. attorney Troy Ellerman

 

Lance Armstrong, Keker & Van Nest, Elliot Peters, John Keker, Jon Streeter,
(L-R) Keker & Van Nest partners Elliot Peters, John Keker, Jon Streeter, and client Lance Armstrong.  Keker & Van Nest in general and Peters in particular are not strangers to The Leslie  Brodie Report given a chronic and vexatious propensity to mislead and exaggerate, such as was the case with client Howard Dickstein.  In connection with the Lance Armstrong investigation, Keker and Peters, falsely and maliciously, accused  news outlet "60 Minutes”  and correspondent Scott Pelley of  "demonstrable falsehood that you recklessly presented, and then bolstered with other untrue assertions and facts taken out of context.”  Needless to say, "60 Minutes” stood by its story as "truthful, accurate and fair." Similarly, and continuing to act with impunity, Duo Keker/Peters accused Federal investigator Jeff Novitzky of leaking documents. Despite the existence of more plausible explanations to the source of the leaks (such as, arguendo, Assistant US Attorney Angela Davis --an ally and confederate of Keker & Van Nest's Jon Streeter) John Keker stated falsely "we know Novitzky and plan to prove that these are his repeated, illegal leaks aimed solely at destroying a true hero."

Mr. Chris Young of Keker & Van Nest (formerly of Morrison & Foerster).  During the 2008 election, Young served as Barack Obama's Northern California Deputy Finance Director and as National Campaign's Northern California representative.  USDOJ's Tony West (of Morrison & Foerster) served as Co-Chair, California Finance Cmt.  Recently, Keker & Van Nest abruptly removed Young's name from the roll of lawyers associated with the firm.  Both Tony West and Chris Young are under heavy scrutiny in connection with events surrounding Lance Armstrong and sham non-profit entity CaliforniaALL.  Separately, Chris Young and Jon Streeter (both of Keker & Van Nest) are under heavy scrutiny in connection with a separate scheme Keker & Van Nest had concocted to serve its own narrow interest, as well as the interests of Tony West.

Angela Davis, Assistant US Attorney to Andre BirotteJayne Kim, Former Assistant US Attorney to Andre Birotte
(L) Ms. Angela Davis -- Assistant US Attorney to André Birotte and former member of the State Bar of California Board of Governors.  Davis is loosely associated with the Girardi Syndicate which controls the State Bar of California vis-a-vis individuals such as Tom Layton, Joe Dunn of Voice of OC, Ronald George, Beth Jay, Eric George, and Holly Fujie.  In September of 2011, Davis was selected by the State Bar  of California BOG (headed by Jon Streeter of Keker & Van Nest and executive director Joe Dunn of Voice of OC -- a lackey of Thomas Girardi) to join the Judicial Council of California.  Also selected was Mark Robinson of Robinson Calcagnie Robinson -- where Joe Dunn previously served as partner.  Unfortunately, Davis is part of a growing and disturbing trend by which mediocrity is now the new norm within the US Department of Justice. (R)  Ms. Jayne Kim, who from 2008 to 2011 served as  Assistant U.S. Attorney in Los Angeles.  In September of 2011, Kim was hired by the State Bar of California (i.e. Joe Dunn, Jon Streeter of Keker & Van Nest)  to serve as interim chief trial counsel.

Betsy and Frankie Andreu.  Betsy, who with her husband and former Armstrong teammate, Frank, accused the cycling champion of doping, said she was shocked by Birotte's decision.  "Our legal system failed us," she said. "This is what happens when you have a lot of money and you can buy attorneys who have people in high places in the Department of Justice." (Image:courtesy photo)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tony West
Mr. Derek Anthony West (AKA Tony West) Acting Associate Attorney General, the third highest official at the United States Department of Justice. He joined Morrison & Foerster in 2001. While at MoFo, West represented "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh alongside partners James Brosnahan and Raj Chatterjee. West's sister-in-law -- Ms. Kamala Harris -- is the California attorney general who was part of sham non-profit entity CaliforniaALL.  As matters presently stand, it appears that Jeffrey Bleich (founding member and Chair of Barack Obama's National Finance Committee) and Tony West (formerly of Morrison & Foerster and Barack Obama's Chair of California Finance Committee) executed a sophisticated financial scheme to misuse the $780,000 originating from the Foundation of the State Bar of California by improperly transferring the money to Barack Obama's coffers via a separate foundation created ad hoc by Morrison & Foerster dubbed CaliforniaALL. Specifically, Susan Mac Cormac and Eric Tate assisted with the legal aspects of creating the entity per instruction from James Brosnahan -- the self-proclaimed "mastermind behind the Democratic Party."
