Jeffrey Breinholt Joins Us As Contributing Expert
By Andrew Cochran
Jeffrey Breinholt, a top legal expert on terrorism cases and one of the most capable prosecutors of those cases in the United States, joins us today as a Contributing Expert. Jeff is a member of the State Bar of California and is now Senior Fellow and Director of National Security Law at the International Assessment and Strategy Center (www.strategycenter.net). During his government career, he served as Deputy Chief in the Counterterrorism Section, Criminal Division, U.S. Department of Justice, where he oversaw the nationwide terrorist financing criminal enforcement program (and worked with Dennis Lormel on those cases). He previously served as the Regional Antiterrorism Coordinator for the western and Pacific states and as a trial attorney in the Counterterrorism Section's international terrorism branch. He joined the Justice Department with the Tax Division in 1990, and spent six years as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney in the District of Utah before joining the Counterterrorism Section in 1997. He is a frequent lecturer and author on intelligence and law enforcement matters, and was honored with the Attorney General's Award for Excellence in Furthering the Interests of U.S. National Security for his efforts in the aftermath of 9/11. His book, "Counterterrorism Enforcement: A Lawyer’s Guide," is available through the Department of Justice Office of Legal Education. The views expressed in his Counterterrorism Blog postings are solely Jeff's and do not represent those of the Department of Justice. We look forward to his valuable contributions.
