Re: IG Investigation; allegations of officer misconduct; Lt Thrift

Ms. Isaacs:
This is highly unusual. On the one hand you are advising LT Isaacs that he has a right to counsel and to remain silent and on the other you demand that he contact you. LT Thrift has retained me as counsel. ALL contact with him by you must cease immediately. He is alleged to have violated SECNAVINST 5430.57G paragraph 5. He has violated nothing until he is found guilty in a court of law. It is after all the United State and the constitution applies to him. He has already informed you that I represent him and that he does not wish to speak with you. We have also provided the a completed rights advisement form. I respectfully request you stop emailing 
my client.

Ms. Isaacs,
Referencing our conversation regarding the UCMJ 31b; I just wanted to inform you that Mr. Haytham Faraj is representing me in all matters regarding this case. Mr. Faraj had mentioned that you needed an email from me stating that I have excepted him as my counsel.

LT Thrift,
You are in violation of SECNAVINST 5430.57G paragraph 5; you are obligated to cooperate fully with the IG Investigation. I advised you to contact me to verify your UCMJ Article 31b. You have the right to legal counsel and to have counsel present should you desire to make a statement or submit to questioning, but I will not accept your UCMJ Article 31b from your counsel without verification from you.
Contact me at one of the numbers below so I can properly advise you of your rights. 


Respectfully,
Mona Isaacs

Mr. Faraj,
Thank you for letting me know. I need LT Thrift properly sign and return the form I sent him. As he has elected his right to remain silent I have no further inquiries. If he needs assistance in making sure the Rights and Warnings form I sent him is properly initialed he can call me and I will review it with him. I also need confirmation from him, either verbally, which I will record, or a personal email, confirming he is electing to retain his rights. 

I appreciate your assistance.


Respectfully,
