Chutkan notes Trump has ALREADY agreed to limitations on his speech in his release conditions.
Brandi:
Chutkan notes the parties biggest disagreement is over scope of the order. Defendant wants all materials, prosecution wants to place limits on sensitive materials. Windom explains: That is the largest philosophical difference between govt proposed order and defendants. Govt wants protective order to cover all discovery, defendant only wants sensitive discovery covered.
7/ Brandi:
She is going line by line through the proposed order. She is prepared to rule immediately on some items and then after, she will issue a protective order consistent with today's rulings ASAP.
Rules state in DC, the binding precedent is that the burden of showing good cause is on parties seeking the order; safety of witnesses and others are weighed; danger of perjury or witness intimidation, protection of info vital to natsec also weighed.
6/ Cheney:
CHUTKAN starts by explaining her decision to shorten response time or Lauro/Trump team to respond to proposed protective order.
"I routinely depart from the 14 and 7 day time limits, as do many of my colleagues, when it serves the interest of justice and efficiency."
5/ Klasfeld:
Mystery solved:
Judge Chutkan was initially unable to meet Friday, which is why Trump's attorneys said that they "lost Friday as an option."
She freed up her schedule.
I deleted a tweet that suggested they were unavailable.

#Chutkan smiles easy, greets everyone warmly. Beneath her black robes, she wears a bright orange blouse, I can tell from the collar. She tells parties they are welcome to sit at counsel table rather than hop up and down to discuss the proposed protective order.
4/ Klasfeld:
Judge Chutkan notes off the bat that protective orders are "frequently" used in criminal cases.
"The parties have been unable so far to resolve those objections."

2/ LOL.
Via Klasfeld:
Trump's attorneys John Lauro and Todd Blanche, who previously suggested they couldn't be here because they "lost Friday as an option," have entered the courtroom.

Today at 10am ET, U.S. District Judge Tanya #Chutkan will preside over her first hearing in the election interference case — and decide whether to limit what #Trump can reveal to the public about government evidence. #legal #TrumpIndictment

2/ This would be 1st Trump criminal case to go to trial
Via Scott MacFarlane:
Smith’s motion criticizes Trump defense for claiming Smith “has been investigating this matter for three & a half years, while the defense is starting with a blank slate. Not only is this claim impossible, as January 6, 2021, was two and a half years ago, but it is disingenuous”
Iowa caucuses are scheduled for mid-January, approx halfway thru case, if Smith’s proposed trial date is accepted
Clichés I fervently wish would go away (partial list):
"Saying the quiet part out loud"
"I'm old enough to remember"
"Are you surprised?"/"Why are you surprised?"/ "I'm not surprised."
"History will not judge them kindly"
So many reasons why they irk me, not worth elaborating on. Kthxbye.

#Biden declares #Hawaii fires a 'major' disaster, unblocks federal aid: White House
President Joe #Biden will ask Congress to provide more than $13 billion in emergency aid to #Ukraine, another massive infusion of cash as the Russian invasion wears on, a person familiar with the matter told AP
“#NorthKorea leader Kim Jong Un dismissed his country's top general and ordered the military to step up war preparations “in an offensive way,” state media reported Thursday.

nostr:npub135d09thfh03cpu03rr9tk0kluy6suvf97afeajgsywzfgl0y973qvjtg9k I would think not. I wonder if that would give Smith justification (in the court's eyes) to either make her recuse or switch venues.
