PI-2, 02/13/08]; ACTS #
20100266; Title: John Ensign.
Description: This document is a
DOJ internal tracking form used
to identify or describe a particular
investigation and/or case, i.e.,
venue, potential criminal
violations and statutes violated,
assigned attorney(s), declination
analysis, supporting documents,
primary reason(s) for immediate
declination, agency information,
supervisory notes and routing.
Basis for withholding: (b) 5
(DPP). The information contained
in this document is deliberative
because it includes pre-decisional
material that was compiled to
assist policy-makers in reaching a
decision as to whether to
prosecute Sen. Ensign and
because it reflects the give-andtake process by which the
government reached that decision.
The declination sheet, for
example, includes factual
information and subjective
analysis, in the form of the
primary reason for immediate
declination. Disclosure of this
deliberative material could likely
chill the open sharing of thoughts
and impressions of ongoing
criminal prosecutions. Disclosure
is also likely to confuse the public
about the final basis for the
decision not to prosecute Sen.
Ensign.

Description.
(Grand Jury material).
(AWP). This document
constitutes AWP because it was
created in anticipation of
supervisory approval by DOJ
managers of a recommendation to
indict several individuals, as well
as the approval by PI managers to
decline to prosecute Sen. Ensign.
The document contains legal
theories and factual information
that was compiled by PI Trial
Attorneys during the investigation
and possible criminal prosecution
of Sen. Ensign and its release
would reveal the mental
impressions and legal strategies of
the attorneys involved in the case.
For example, the document
contains a list of the statutes that
may be used in any possible
criminal prosecution, and
revelation of that information
would improperly disclose the
attorneys legal strategy.
The declination memo, for
Ensign.
(b) 7(C). This document has also
been withheld in full to protect the
personal privacy interests of
several PI employees and third
of these PI employees and third
parties, who maintain strong
privacy interests, would not be
justified by any ascertainable
public interest. Finally, page 1 of
the Prosecution Memo contains a

Subject: [USDOJ/CRM, Form
PI-1, 4/8//2009]; TITLE: U.S. v.
Ensign.
Description: This document is
an internal DOJ tracking form
used to identify a particular case,
i.e., criminal allegations and
federal statutes that may have
been violated, case responsibility,
statute of limitations expiration
date, attorney(s) assigned,
subject(s), case synopsis, agency
information and attorney conflict
of interest form.
created in anticipation of litigation
involving Sen. Ensign. The
document contains factual
information that was compiled by
PI Trial Attorneys for the
investigation and possible
criminal prosecution and its
release would reveal the mental
being withheld to protect the
personal privacy interests of [ ], a
PI Trial Atty. and the names and
personal information of third
party individuals. Revealing the
of a lowerlevel government
employee and third parties, who
maintain strong privacy interests,
would not be justified by any
ascertainable public interest.

Notes.
Subject: Untitled.
Description: The notes are not
attributed however they are
consistent with records prepared
by an unidentified PI Trial
Attorney in connection with the
Ensign investigation. The notes
contain multiple references to
Ensign. The notes also contain
information involving case
strategy as well as case specific
references to certain evidence and
witnesses.
created in anticipation of the
possible criminal prosecution of
Sen. Ensign. The document
contains subjective legal analysis
by an unidentified PI Trial Atty.
involved in the investigation.
Release of this document would
reveal the authoring attorneys
mental impressions and legal
theories. For example, the
document discusses strategies for
obtaining possible evidence
related to the investigation.
(DPP). The information in this
document is deliberative because
it includes pre-decisional material
that was compiled to assist
government attorneys in reaching
a decision of whether to prosecute
Sen. Ensign and because it
reflects the give-and-take by
which the government made that
decision. The handwritten notes
contain factual information and
subjective analysis intended to
inform a final decision as to
whether to prosecute Sen. Ensign.
Disclosure of this material is
likely to discourage government
employees from keeping records
of conversations or mental
impressions related to evidence or
witnesses. Disclosure would also
likely confuse the public as to the
final basis for the decision not to
prosecute, as some of the
evidence described in the notes

to secure clients

conversations with you about ensuring he not
at the ongoing issues that continues to impact me and my family and prevents us from moving past what has taken
place. I don't believe can lay this issue on anyone else but you.
absolutely believe deserve a job that pays me not penny less than what was making as your
did an
outstanding job and those are your words. My situation in needing to leave is as a result of your actions. First month
out went backwards financially....that's the bottom line. And do not beiieve November Inc.
should have to
come up with the money for me.
So that's where we are today. have scheduled a meeting with

paid to Nov, Inc.
So you know where i stand and trust you will do what is right.

Re:
Referral of Matters Arising from the Preliminary Inquiry of Senator John
Dear Mr.
The Department of Justice has received the May
Referral of Matters Arising
from the Preliminary Inquiry of
John Ensign provided by the
Committee
on Ethics. In order to review the allegations referred by the Committee as thoroughly and fairly
as possible, we request that the Committee make available the complete evidentiary record
developed by the Committee, including, but not limited to, transcripts of depositions,
memoranda of interviews, and binders containing documents obtained by the Committee from
third parties, including Senator Ensign.
The Department understands and respects the sensitivity of materials provided by the
Committee, and agrees that these materials will be handled appropriately. In particular, the
Department agrees that it will take the following precautions regarding the handling of these
materials:
(1)
All Committee materials will be obtained from the Committee by a federal law
enforcement agent or Department representative designated in advance by the
Department.
(2)
The materials will be maintained and controlled by personnel from the United
States Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, the Public Integrity Section,
and the FBI.
(3)
The documents will be used solely by Department personnel and law enforcement
agents for the purpose of investigating potential violations of federal criminal law.
(4)
Any use of Committee materials before a federal grand jury will be governed by
the secrecy provisions of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.
(5)
At the conclusion of the investigation, the original materials and copies will be
returned to the Committee, or, in accordance with Department procedure,
destroyed or placed in secure storage.
As you know, Assistant United States Attorney

is the filter attorney for
the Department on this matter, and he will make arrangements to obtain materials from the
Committee.
We look forward to the Committee's continued cooperation on this matter. If you have
any questions, please feel free to contact either Trial Attorney
at (202)
or Assistant United States Attorney
at (202

CQ TODAY PRINT EDITION

March
PACs Rush to Drop NRCC Treasurer

By Bart Jansen, CQ Staff
The man the center of a burgeoning fiscal scandal involving the National Republican Congressional Committee served as treasurer
for dozens of political fundraising committees, and lawmakers are quickly distancing themselves from
At least
members of Congress have dropped
committees.
Ward as treasurer of their re-election campaigns or political action
Some committees said they had no complaints about Ward

his performance as fiduciary officer, but felt obliged to separate
themselves from the problems at the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC),
That same dynamic could continue to play out in the weeks ahead. Ward served as treasurer for at least 32 committees in recent years.
According to Federal Election Commission records, he remains an officer of record with most of them.
The FBI is investigating potential mismanagement of funds at the request of the NRCC, 'We feel very strongly that until names are
cleared or not, you can't take a chance on it," said Sen, John' Ensign , R-Nev., who dropped Ward as treasurer of his Battle
PAC,
Severed Ties
Battle Born PAC raised $423,932 last year and spent $474,365. Ward became treasurer March 29,
and filed a year-end report on
Jan.
After Cynthia Hampton became the new treasurer Feb. 12, she filed an amended year-end report eight days later.
A spokeswoman described the amendment as fixing routine bookkeeping errors unrelated to Ward.

Ward had been a longtime staff member for the NRCC, going on

R-Texas, who is an accountant, sparked the investigation after becoming head of the NRCC's internal audit
committee last fall. Conaway said he asked repeatedly for a meeting with auditors without staff, but Ward canceled a January meeting
just before it was to begin.
Conaway discovered that no audits had been conducted for years. "He was a trusted employee, somebody we put our faith and trust
in," Conaway said. "All we know is we have an audit issue,"
He said the committee has given the FBI's forensic accountants "unfettered access to everything we've got,"
The
set no timetable tor completing its investigation, Conaway said. "All of us are anxiously awaiting the results," he said.
The previous NRCC chairman, Rep. Thomas M. Reynolds of New York, said he thought audits were being performed on a regular
basis.

Re: Referral of Matters Arising from the
Preliminary Inquiry of Senator John Ensign
Dear Mr. Attorney General:
The Committee conducted a preliminary inquiry into allegations that former Senator John
Ensign violated federal law and Senate rules, and engaged in improper conduct that reflects on the
Senate. In the course of its inquiry, the Committee discovered information giving it reason to believe
that Senator Ensign and others violated laws that fall within the Department of Justice's jurisdiction.
Under Supplementary Procedural Rule 7(a), the Committee "shall" report to
proper
authorities whenever it has reason to believe that a violation of law may have occurred.
Accordingly, the Committee refers the enclosed summary and evidentiary materials showing
that Senator Ensign and others:
aided and abetted violations of the one-year post-employment contact restriction,

conspired to violate that restriction,
made false statements to the Federal Election Commission,
violated campaignfinancelaws, and
obstructed the Committee's preliminary inquiry.
Please advise the Committee if we may be of any further assistance.

Sincerely,
Chairman

Summary of Potential Violations

During the Committee's preliminary inquiry of Senator John Ensign, the Committee
retained Special Counsel Carol Elder Brace to advise the Committee in its examination into
whether
Senate rules, federal law, or standards of conduct regarding the
termination

Thefindingsof the Special Counsel
provide the basis for the Committee's determinations regarding potential violations

Senator Ensign and others as outlined below.

Ensign did this despite his knowledge that
|had already contacted his office in violation of both Senateralesand federal law.
Furthermore, Senator Ensign had his own contact
and took official action on
behalf flHHHI^Hclients as a result of all of these communications.
The Committee has also determined that there is reason to believe that Senator Ensign
(made false and misleading statements to the Federal Election Commission
("FEC") in connection
the FEC's
of a payment of $96,000
violation of
U.S.C. 1001 and 1505, and
excessive and unreported contributions to the
Senator's
leadership PAC. The record before the Committee indicates
that Senator
sworn affidavits to the FEC, all dated August
2009, in connection with a complaint against the Senator's principal campaign committee and
leadership PAC, alleging that the $96,000 payment to j
constituted severance and, thus, was an excessive
and unreported contribution to the committees. The FEC's General Counsel urged the
Commission to find that there was reason to believe that the $96,000 payment was, in fact, an
excessive campaign contribution and recommended an investigation into the matter. In
dismissing the complaint, the FEC commissioners relied on the affidavits from|

However, the record before the Committee demonstrates that the $96,000 payment was

informed
they would be receiving the "equivalent" of severance and that the
amount would reflect pay and health insurance expenses. Senator Ensign also referred to the
payment as severance to numerous individuals, identified the payment as severance in his
electronic journal and in drafts of his public statement disclosing his affair with|

advised that calling the payment severance could expose him to criminal charges. Furthermore,

Because the record before the Committee demonstrates that

Finally, the Committee has determined that there is reason to believe that Senator Ensign

relevant to the Committee's inquiry, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1505 and 1519. In a sworn
affidavit to the Committee, Senator Ensign acknowledged that he continued to delete emails
from his home desktop computer and his personal Gmail account after he received document*
preservation notices. The record before the Committee also indicates that Senator Ensign
permitted his staff to delete his personal Gmail account containing emails relevant to the
Committee's inquiry, and that he continued to delete emails on his Senate computers after the
date of the preservation notices.
