Stan on Roll Call re: DC Circuit 's Speech of Debate Opinion

But criminal defense attorney Stan Brand, a former House counsel, noted that the Justice Department already confronts Speech or Debate whenever it targets a Member of Congress.

“It’s the same problem the department has in all these cases and has always had. They have to find ways to make criminal cases without drawing in legislative acts,” Brand said. “Despite all their remonstratives, they are able to bring cases and get convictions.”
