Sixth Circuit -- USA v. Dawn Hanna

USA v. Dawn Hanna 

Misspelling of name in email attachment does not mean that the warrant was groundless.

Email warrant did not have to be pinpont specific or divided by subject of emails.

No error in exclusion for relevance of testimony from head of larger company saying that he had been similarly misled.

Where (90 month) sentencing error results from deft's requests, doctrine of invited error precludes fix on appeal.

National security sentencing bump for violating the Iraq embargo upheld.

No Brady violation.

Where the criminality of the act comes from an executive order, collaboration in the crime by members of the executive does not make it lawful.
