[Help] A final round of questions over episode "Panic"

I have a few more questions -these are on episode "Panic" -the one
starring Tom Berenger. After these, I'll run out of episodes to be
translated, so I should stop bothering you guys:

1) Carmichael has basically been evicted from her office due to
asbestos abatement on her floor, and she says to McCoy: "I got stuck
with one of the dislocated ADAs". Any idea what an ADA is? I'd think
Assistant District Attorney, but I thought Carmichael herself was
McCoy's Assistant...

2) A dialogue between McCoy, Carmichael and Schiff (spoilers on
"Panic" if you ain't seen it yet):
Carmichael: We had the right motive but the wrong outraged spouse
Schiff: Assumption, or can you prove it?
McCoy: Cut and dried.
Schiff: J. Edgar Hoover would be proud. Do what you have to do.
I do not understand the reference to former US President Hoover. I
assume the line "Cut and dried" means "We have proof" (it's cut and
dried, so it's as ready as can be). Why on earth Hoover would be
proud of that?

3) When Briscoe and Green arrest the person whom they think committed
the crime, they read him his rights. But the guy is an FBI agent and
says "I've recited Miranda as many times as you have". Why is the
rights speech called Miranda?

4) McCoy offers Murder Two to the guy, and he says: "I'll knock five
years off the front end". I was assuming that meant reducing by five
years the maximum of time to be served: however, the guy eventually
gets from 20 to life. And life cannot really be reduced by 5 yars,
can it?

5) Lastly... As he questions an expert, McCoy says "People's
thirty-five". What does that mean?

Thank you again!

Alberto
