In the Daily Mail, Mark E. Schamel calls federal charges against his client Igor
Danchenko “a false narrative designed to humiliate and slander” the Russian born
analyst, who is accused of lying to investigators about the origins of information later
reported in the “Steele dossier.”

“Mr. Danchenko is a respected research analyst who uncovered and exposed Vladimir
Putin’s plagiarized Ph.D. thesis and whose work has been recognized all over the world
for its intellectual rigor and accuracy,,” says Schamel in a statement. 'Mr. Danchenko’s
body of work, for the United States, is above reproach. For the past five years, those
with an agenda have sought to expose Mr. Danchenko’s identity and tarnish his
reputation while undermining U.S. National Security. From the moment he was
inappropriately revealed, he has been the focus of unrelenting politically motivated
attacks.”

Schamel’s statement was also published in Radio Free Europe, The Washington Post,
Politico, Newsweek, CNBC, UPI, and Associated Press, among others.

Mark E. Schamel’s statement about Lowenstein’s client, Capitol Police Lt. Michael
Byrd, who defended and protected members of the U.S. Congress during the riots on
January 6, 2021, appears in The New York Times. Schamel calls our client a
"decorated veteran" who showed "tremendous restraint in firing just one shot" and
whose actions were "nothing short of heroic." Schamel continues: "His willingness to
remain steadfast in the face of hundreds of violent, extremist, would-be insurrectionists
intent on thwarting Congress from performing its constitutional duty was the type of
heroism and commitment that the lieutenant has demonstrated in his almost three
decades of law enforcement service. ... The lieutenant’s conduct saved lives and helped
to end the violent insurrection."

Mark E. Schamel, White Collar Criminal Defense partner based in Lowenstein’s

Washington, D.C., office, speaks to Global Investigations Review about a decrease in
corporate enforcement policy declinations since the Department of Justice started the
policy five years ago to encourage companies to self-report wrongdoing. Schamel, who
handled the most recent declination in August 2020, says declination numbers are likely
to increase after the country recovers from the pandemic because “prosecutors might
be reluctant to give a declination under the policy without face-to-face meetings and
interviews to shore up their decision.”

Mark E. Schamel, Washington, D.C.-based partner in Lowenstein’s White Collar

Criminal Defense group, represents the Capitol Police officer accused of shooting a
rioter who was part of the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Speaking to
the The Wall Street Journal about the possibility of charges against his client, Schamel
says: “Without question he should be cleared. … There’s no way to look at the evidence
and think he’s anything but a hero.”

CNN quotes Schamel as well: “In every analysis, this was an absolutely justified use of
force.” The story is also featured on NBC News, WHDH News Boston, and RT.com,
where he adds: “I think it's his heroism and his restraint that saved lives.”

 December 10, 2020In the Media

Mark E. Schamel talks to Law360 about the recent spate of corruption cases in the
energy industry, noting that the “international footprint and the financial reward is so
significant that it can lead to clouded judgment. … Add in the inconsistency of
regulations between countries and even between political parties in our country, and the
goal posts are moving with hundreds of millions of dollars in play." For general counsel
and regulators seeking to reduce corruption on this space, Schamel suggests fostering
a "culture of transparency. Get in front of problems and don't try to hide them.” He adds
that government needs “to stop flip-flopping on policy and have consistency" in energy
regulation.
