HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017666.jpg

This document is a page from a 2007 Utah Law Review article, likely submitted as an exhibit by attorney David Schoen to the House Oversight Committee. It discusses legal issues surrounding Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 17(c), specifically criticizing the lack of notice given to victims when their confidential records (such as VA medical records) are subpoenaed by defense counsel. It cites a specific instance where a defense attorney used surprise access to psychiatric records to pressure a prosecutor, and references communications involving Rod Rosenstein regarding these procedural rules.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017335.jpg

This document appears to be a draft of a legal argument or an internal memo regarding the sexual assault case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn (DSK). It outlines the prosecution's narrative versus the defense's claim of consensual sex, arguing that the defense's theory is implausible given the physical evidence (DNA on undergarments) and the physical description of the defendant. The document carries a House Oversight stamp, suggesting it was part of a larger document production.
