Jesselyn Radack
Jesselyn Radack is a former U.S. Department of Justice ethics adviser who argued that John Walker Lindh (the "American Taliban") had the right to a lawyer. The Federal Bureau of Investigation questioned Lindh alone, and Radack quit at odds when she was given the alternative to get a very bad performance review. She found out that her advice had not been made accessible to the judge in the Lindh case and emails about the case had disappeared. After the story and some emails were made public by the magazine Newsweek, Ronald Powell, a special agent for the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General, called the new office Radack was working for and began questioning staff and lawyers, saying Radack was under criminal investigation. The firm put her on leave due to the allegations.
