....Devon Archer was also convicted by a jury but had his conviction vacated. That vacated sentence was recently reinstated by an appellate court and so Archer is now awaiting a new sentence.....
An additional note of the Devon Archer stuff.
The judge in his trial was Ronnie Abrams (SDNY). She vacated the judgment after a unanimous jury convicted him in a massive fraud case (She upheld Cooney's conviction in the same case). The SDNY USAO appealed and won.
Now get this, while that appeal was pending, Judge Abrams let Archer travel to Ukraine for "business" as well as 38 other trips, including China, Russia, Jamaica, Turks & Caicos, Mexico, the French Antilles and the United Arab Emirates. Not bad, eh?
But wait, that's not all. Abrams’s husband is Greg Andres, who was one of Robert Mueller’s rabid dog Democrats in the bogus Russigate matter. He was the main attorney assigned to go after Paul Manafort.
But wait, that's not all. Judge Abrams is the daughter media ***** Floyd Abrams and sister of often clownish TV attorney Dan Abrams. She is a family friend to John Kerry. And she has a long record of donating money to Democrats.
Quite a few coincidences there. Enough for recusal. But she never did recuse herself.
