Well, when a Federal judge says 'before the 11th', and *you* come up with the only option you specifically put out is the 14th --- that is what happens.
Life is tough.
So August 10th is AFTER August 11?
I guess you are clueless about what the word 'request' does.
Here is what Trump's people say:
1) we want both attorneys there;
2) each attorney sinks a day;
3) for some magical reason Friday is 'lost';
4) Even though your order specifies 'before the 11th', we *request* either the 14th or 15th.
Can you even read?
Smart attorneys, with a specific timeframe limitation, the only *request* is to try and challenge the Judge's ordered timing
They done got judge-slapped for that. Maybe they dont try that again.
They agreed to the 10th, although only one lawyer would be able to be present. Why wasnt that date chosen, instead of the 11th?
Also, learn to read a calendar.
They said that one could be there on the 10th.
They also 'requested' it for the 14th.
In the minute order, the judge was clear --- what days on or before the 11th.
Had Trump's attorneys simply stuck with 'one can be there on the 10th', and *only* that, that probably would have happened on the 10th.
Instead, they angled 'we need both there' with the added thing of 'and because of *our* requirement of the needing *both*, we request the 14th' --- they got judge slapped.
Judge said, in effect, this is *my* courtroom, not yours. *My* order said 'tell me two times on or before the 11th you can do this. They chose *not* to do that, and instead *chose* to try and reset the judge's own order.
Again, they got judge ***** slapped for that.
Dude, the minute order is crystal fing clear -- 'on or before the 11th.' Period.
Their filing is crystal clear -- they tried to reset the judge's explicit order. Last I saw 'requesting the 14th or 15th' is not anywhere in the order that says 'the 11th or before'.
Dont fk with a judge and their order.
Seriously, read the details. It helps.
The background also helps. The background is that the judge did a minute order on last Thursday in this issue requiring the defense response to the motion on the protective order no later than Monday (yesterday) at 3pm. Trump's attorneys on Friday filed a 'motion for extension' of that response for this Thursday.
Judge denied that, and said to them 'maybe you should have used the time for the extension in the response'. They filed Monday, Smith had until tomorrow to file a reply -- he filed his reply 45 minutes after the Trump attorneys filed their response.
The judge sent out a minute order on that exchange 20 min after Jack Smith filed, that order saying 'give me two times for a hearing between now and the end of Friday.
Lauro filed with his 'not Friday, we need next week.'
Chutkan hammered Lauro for his continuous 'not on the timeline you said, we want our timeline.' Chutkan told him here who ran her courtroom -- and it aint Lauro.
Lauro thumbed his nose at her twice this week. Lauro got hammered because of it.
The 14th is *not* 'on the 11th or before'.
I suggest Lauro simply comply with the court minute orders instead of trying to set his own timetable.
But please ***** some more that Lauro didnt follow the judge's minute order.
