Barak Cohen was quoted in The Washington Post* article, "Mueller Investigation Enters Year Two: What Comes Next — And How it Could End," regarding the investigation into the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election. 

Barak Cohen, a former Justice Department public integrity prosecutor now in private practice at Perkins Coie, said he even recalled a case in which investigators prematurely ended a wiretap in a case involving state legislators — potentially leaving evidence on the table — so they could bring charges well before an election.

“We were very reluctant to take any overt action shortly before an election that might affect the election,” Cohen said.
