Gregory Nolan is a former federal prosecutor and current white-collar defense attorney at Brown White & Osborn.
The headlines suggest prosecutors are kicking ass and taking names in the fight against white-collar crime.
In only the past few weeks, federal prosecutors indicted Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) on even more corruption charges, and the chief financial officer at former President Donald Trump’s family real estate company pled guilty to lying about the value of its assets.

Republicans, including former president Donald Trump, have targeted the Justice Department, accusing the agency and its staff of weaponizing the justice system, as well as individual judges. This type of rhetoric has contributed to “toxicity” and an “unprecedented rise” in threats against public officials, said Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.
“On a weekly basis — sometimes more often — I am getting reports about threats to public officials, threats to our prosecutors, threats to law enforcement agents who work in the Justice Department, threats to judges,” Monaco said in an interview that...

Donald Trump’s campaign is defending the former president’s use of the word “vermin” to describe his opponents and detractors after receiving backlash for echoing a term used by brutal authoritarian dictators like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
“We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical-left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections,” Trump said in a Veterans Day speech on Saturday after using the term in a social-media post earlier that same day.

The committee panel reviewing TikTok’s national security risks is facing escalating bipartisan pressure to separate the popular Chinese-owned video app from its parent company.
Two senators on Thursday urged The Committee on Foreign Investment to “swiftly conclude its investigation and impose strict structural restrictions between TikTok’s American operations and its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, including potentially separating the companies.”
The letter from the lawmakers — Sens. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., chair of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on privacy, and Jerry Moran, R-Kan., a member of the Senate Committee on Intelligence — points to the possibility of China using the app to “collect data on tens of millions of American users and attempt to influence our public discourse.” It mirrors concerns from a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee and a Federal Communications commissioner urging Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores.
Once a partisan issue raised almost exclusively by Republicans,...

San Francisco, Jan 27 (Ians) The authorities in the US have seized the assets of the major ransomware group Hive, which has extorted thousands of victims for over 100 million in extortion payments after law enforcement infiltrated its systems and seized decryption keys of its attack software.
According to The Guardian, an international law enforcement coalition including the FBI and the department seized the website for the group, which was considered among the most dangerous and prolific hacker groups that targeted hospitals and public infrastructure.
Ransomware is a malicious attack that infiltrates a computer network and encrypts files. Hackers then demand a ransom in the form of cryptocurrency to unlock the system.
“In a 21st-century cyber stakeout, our investigative team turned the tables on Hive. Using lawful means, we hacked the hackers,” the US deputy attorney general, Lisa Monaco, was quoted as saying.

The Justice Department will continue investigating Donald Trump’s role in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack even if he runs for reelection, a department official said Tuesday.
“We’re going to continue to do our job, to follow the facts wherever they go, no matter where they lead, no matter to what level,” said Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, according to a Bloomberg report. “We’re going to continue to investigate what was fundamentally an attack on our democracy.”
