Honorable John D. Butzner, Jr. We have been advised that Judge Hastings warned Mayor Clark that he should not associate with one or more persons who were "hot" or who "had problems". Clark relayed this information to one of the subjects of the investigation. The investigation was thereafter terminated for security concerns arising out of the disclosure. On behalf of the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice I request that the Court unseal, where necessary, and otherwise authorize disclosure to the subcommittee for inspection and copying all documents which relate to Judge Hastings' role in authorizing and supervising the electronic surveillance in question, including but not limited to the following: 1. The original application and supporting affidavit seeking authorization for the telephone interception described above; 2. All progress reports and requests for extensions of such interceptions; 3. The diary of AUSA Roberto Martinez reflecting contacts with Judge Hastings; 4. Tapes and transcripts where any of the following persons appear: Steven Clark, Kevin "Waxie" Gordon, and Richard Bonehill; 5. Reports of interviews by law enforcement representatives of Clark, Gordon, and Bonehill. The Committee further requests that the Court authorize former AUSA Roberto Martinez and FBI agents Chris Mazzella and Geoffrey Santini to discuss any information they have concerning Judge Hastings' role in connection with these matters. The Subcommittee wishes to examine these materials in furtherance of its inquiry as to whether impeachment proceedings are warranted with respect to Judge Hastings. A proposed Order is attached. Honorable John D. Butzner, Jr. If you have any questions concerning this request, please contact the Committee's Special Counsel for the impeachment inquiry, Alan I. Baron, Esquire at 202-226-3444.
