Jennifer C. Plotkin
Role at the time: Lawyer for the plaintiffs at Merson Law, in an opposition she signed with co-counsel
Response to this claim
Attorney General Todd Blanche has no unique personal knowledge of the FBI policies or the administrative claims at issue in the limited jurisdictional discovery, so the survivors cannot show the extraordinary circumstances needed to depose him.
“Quashing this subpoena would again allow the Government avert accountability and transparency at the expense of the victims.”
Why we used this label
Plotkin's filing says the motion to quash would let the government avert accountability and transparency at the victims' expense, and calls the government's opposition unjustified, so we labeled it condemns.
