A federal court evidently doesn’t trust Tan the Conman to STFU and has [ordered special restrictions on his access to evidence](https://www.aol.com/news/us-judge-orders-trump-lawyers-130016908.html): > **US judge orders Trump lawyers not to release evidence in documents probe** > > (Reuters) -A U.S. judge in Florida on Monday ordered defense lawyers for former President Donald Trump not to release evidence in the classified documents case to the media or the public, according to a court filing. > > The order from U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart also put strict conditions on Trump’s access to the materials. > > “The Discovery materials, along with any information derived therefrom, shall not be disclosed to the public or the news media, or disseminated on any news or social media platform, without prior notice to and consent of the United States or approval of the Court,” the order filed on Monday said. > > It also specified that Trump “shall not retain copies” and that he may only review case materials “under the direct supervision of Defense Counsel or a member of Defense Counsel’s staff.” No word yet on what Judge Reinhart will do when the traitor ~~tweets~~ “truths” an insult to the “so-called judge”. ---

Or Judge Cannon, even……if she “turns on” him. Maybe I’m overly optimistic, but I’ve been envisioning a Comey situation with Judge Cannon. Because of her previous rulings, Trump assumes she’s in the bag for him, and starts pulling those sexual harassment techniques that creeped out Comey (inviting your prey to what is implied to be a public dinner, only to surprise them with a private dinner for two is such classic sexual harassment technique I laughed out loud when Trump pulled it on Comey). Maybe Trump will reach out and invite Aileen Cannon to spend the weekend at Mar-a-Lago. Maybe he will have a problem taking no for an answer, maybe she’ll start keeping a secret diary of all the illegal stuff he asks her to do. But I’m daydreaming……. ---

I think this merits a reasonable amount of Schadenfreude: [Judge slaps down MAGA lawyer John Eastman’s attempt to call ‘expert’ witness at disbarment hearing](https://www.rawstory.com/john-eastman-disbarment-hearing). (Sorry, for some reason Discourse won’t display the article inline.) > John Eastman, the attorney who [wrote the infamous so-called “coup memo”](https://www.rawstory.com/john-eastman-2656821476/) that urged former Vice President Mike Pence to reject certified election results on Jan. 6, 2021, got off to a rough start in [his disbarment hearing](https://www.rawstory.com/john-eastman-california-disbar/) on Tuesday. > > As [reported by NPR investigative reporter Tom Dreisbach](https://twitter.com/TomDreisbach/status/1671210418721914881), Eastman tried to call as an expert witness a certified public accountant named Joseph Fried who wrote an ebook about the 2020 election in which he cast doubt on the legitimacy of President Joe Biden’s win. > > California State Bar Court Judge Yvette Roland, however, wanted no part of Fried in the hearings, as she noted he lacked any relevant experience in running elections. > > “I don’t see how Mr. Fried is qualified to be an expert,” she told Eastman. Eastman’s lawyer tried to argue that the accountant could prove beyond the shadow of a doubt and with geometric logic that ~~a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox did exist~~ election fraud occurred in swing states — an argument that, predictably, went nowhere. ---
