  • “We have ... held that we owe deference to a legal interpretation [issued by the FEC] supporting a negative probable cause determination that prevails on a 3-3 deadlock.”
  • “Appellant has identified no prejudice arising from enforcement of a subpoena where the originally issuing grand jury has expired and another has indisputably carried the investigation forward.”
  • “Pure legal impossibility is always a defense. For example, a hunter cannot be convicted of attempting to shoot a deer if the law does not prohibit shooting deer in the first place.” (internal quotation marks omitted)
