One of the thing that's interesting is that SDNY really DID just colossally fuck up the Nejad case, plus also fucked up the Schulte case. SDNY has had some epic fails of late. If Barr cared abt success he might have a point.
Castor tries to blame Berman for rules DOJ placed on his testimony (an increasingly common occurrence from the GOP).
Castor keeps going. It's unfair to the Attorney General that Berman adheres to policies the Attorney General's DOJ insisted on.
