It's more onerous on the defense than the prosecution in a criminal trial. Eric Nelson, Chauvin's defense counsel was bombarded with new documents everyday throughout the trial. He complained to the judge to no avail.fasthorse05 said:
Question time again.
I'm sure a judge ordering someone to produce docs the day of the trial happens frequently. How often does that put the government/defendant in a bad situation if the docs are arriving the day of the trial?
If it's 1000 pages, or more, that's got to be detrimental to whichever side needs the new information.
These emails (plus attachments) between Joffe and Seago are still privileged according to Judge Cooper: pic.twitter.com/D7kXSHMndW

HOLY SH!T: Court hit key point in closer. Court held Durham waited to long so emails can't come in. BUT more significantly could held it "will appy the principal forth above on any applications of privilege during witnes testimony at trial.

How would Durham have known to request those documents sooner? They obviously requested all non-privileged information previously right? So if they improperly withheld these as privileged why are they inadmissible??

SMH, Kangaroo Court System
More importantly, what would be the prejudice to the defendant? They know what are in those emails, correct? They made the privilege logs.Quote:
Read this response and was thinking the same thing. Durham asked for "non-privileged" communication, the rats mark everything privileged, and it is now too late? Shouldn't the clock start when the privilege is upheld or denied?
This is probably a dumb question here, but is there anyway to hold people accountable (assuming you could prove it was done to hide malfeasance)?aggiehawg said:More importantly, what would be the prejudice to the defendant?

See internal threads for more details, but I am jaw-dropped appalled by what court did: Joffe hired Sussmann for "legal advise". Joffe later communicated with Fusion GPS Laura Seago about Alfa Bank stuff, but Joffe didn't retain Fusion GPS & Sussmann didn't for Joffe. 1/ https://t.co/oGcb1YhZFd

competent, informed legal advice.” But Seago was not working for Joffe or "for Sussmann on behalf of Joffee" but was working for the Clinton Campaign. UNLESS there was "joint defense" of "common interest" that communication
5/5 This is a huge problem for Durham who intended to give Seago privilege to get her testimony. Only option now is to seek immediately appeal before D.C. circuit. Likely biggest "news" out of the trial to date re evidentiary rulings.

What a pile of crap.

Why did Durham not raise this? It's been obvious for a long time that he runs a barebones operation that just doesn't have the capacity to keep track of all these things. Early evidence of this was that he messed up the Clinesmith prosecution. Why did Barr not fund him properly? https://t.co/DKKXDjyoup
— Hans Mahncke (@HansMahncke) May 12, 2022
The primary purpose of retaining FusionGPS was political opposition research, pushing narratives in the press, and lobbying government officials into investigating a political opponent, followed by press leaks of those investigations. Not to assist with legal advice.

Durham’s problem if he appeals is that he didn’t really make a record showing that Sussmann -using-Fusion—to-help-Sussmann-advise-Joffe is absolute bullshit. Fusion’s job was to put a spin on everything so as to dirty up Trump and then to get it to the press.
