In an unusual move, Mr Bove insisted that prosecutors were appealing to a regional court judge, these people said. After weighing the request, Judge John G. Koeltl of the Federal Regional Court of New York’s southern province ordered the chief judge, Sarah Netburn, to review the request, the people said.
But for the second time, government lawyers had even worse. Judge Netburn not only rejected the request for an investigation warrant, but also ordered the government to comply with a special condition: Prosecutors would ever try to repeat such an application before another federal judge, they had to include a copy of the court.
Part of the judge of the judge, these people said, came from the absence of lawyers with the Manhattan Federal Prosecutor’s Office. But prosecutors in the southern area of New York were cautious about signing the effort and had little involvement with it, these people said. A spokesman for the US lawyer’s office in Manhattan refused to comment.
While prosecutors of civil rights carried out the investigation requested by Mr Bove, they often pushed behind specific steps he wanted to take, these people said, arguing that they are either not justified by the available events or contrary to the law and practice of the past or the past.
At one point, Mr Bove ordered the FBI agents in the joint terror group in New York to put their raid jackets, go to Columbia campus and stand in a phalanx near any demonstrator. In the context of the Department of Political Rights, teaching was regarded as deeply inappropriate and an obvious attempt to intimidate students, these people said. FBI agents did not make such a demonstration of power.
In early April, the research appeared to have died largely, but nothing prevents Mr Bove or others from rejuvenating it. After its passing, however, people familiar with the case said it had only aggravated the bad will and mistrust between political appointments at the Ministry of Justice’s headquarters in Washington and the prosecutor’s office in New York, as well as between these policies.
