Denver Place Building 99918th Street, Suite 300 Denver, Colorado 80202 Email: r Web: www.robertherzlaw.com From: Jeff M. Fischbach, ABFE Sent: Friday, August 15, 2025 2:47 AM To: Richenthal, Daniel (USANYS) Cc: Law Office Of Robert Herz Samuel M. Braverman ELIZABETH KELLEY <z • Grosbard, Remy (USANYS) (USANYS) Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Propose Protocols as I have said before, I believe without ambiguity, these are matters you need to address to counsel. Having me CC'd is continuity. But, I cannot, have not intended, and will not be a party to circumventing 's counsel or their knowledge of the law and his rights as a Defendant. I was simply conveying to you that the use of as a taint agent was rejected by counsel, because -- unlike ALL of my prior post-Walsh cases, and those Mr. Herz has been involved in -- he is an individual who works closely wirh the case agent in this case, in the same office, and seemingly with all of the agents involved in the case. Again, because it is a space shared by various agencies, the RCFL, in my experience, has always had an individual on-site sufficiently trained and removed from a case being examined there to be an appropriate taint agent. 1= 1 The request for a taint agent was made to S by me early in the week, and discussed with him previously. I seem to recall it was iscusse with the AUSA as well, but I could be mistaken. Removal of work product was why I was requesting access when it became contingent on speaking with you on August 1. That should not have been a EFTA01656943
