* Meanwhile, Michael Cohen litigates BOP's ability to send him back to jail for publishing a book

* Meanwhile, in regular law enforcement: terrorism charges for an MS-13 leader

* Meanwhile, at GTMO: A remarkable sanction against the government issued by the trial judge in the Majid Khan military commission case

* Meanwhile in Europe: The Court of Justice of the European Union blows up Privacy Shield based on concerns involving Section 702 and also 12,333 collection
