The Filing That Never Was? Government Fails To Deliver Promised Response In Latest Ted Stevens Donnybrook

In its preliminary response last Friday to Senator Stevens’s Motion For Discovery And An Evidentiary Hearing Regarding Allegations In Letter From David Anderson, the government noted its intent “to provide a more detailed submission to the Court on Monday.” The government also claimed to have “obtained substantial additional evidence…that prove [sic] the falsity of Mr. Anderson’s allegations and that further explicitly prove [sic] Mr. Anderson’s collusion with an interested party in the preparation and transmission of Mr. Anderson’s letter.” The government  then stated that it would “describe and submit that additional information to the Court in a subsequent filing on Monday.” Well, Monday has come and gone, and the PACER docket sheet indicates no new filings, under seal or otherwise, by the government. Anderson’s letter claimed, among other things, that his trial testimony denying government-offerred immunity to him and his family members was untrue and obtained under duress.
