This is the judge saying “I already ruled on this, but we have to do this again because the higher court said so”

Rob Flaherty: One of the criteria you need to meet to be able to depose high level government officials is “exceptional circumstances.” Flaherty was recently added to the case, after expedited discovery revealed his involvement.

In their brief, the Plaintiffs argued that the replacement being offered up in place of Flaherty wouldn’t be sufficient because Slavitt (the replacement) didn’t attend all of the meetings Flaherty did.

In their brief the Defendants argued “exceptional circumstances” didn’t exist. Bad move.

@TracyBeanzOfficial

The judge orders that no suitable replacement is available for Flaherty, but that they will start with written interrogatory and discovery in the form of document requests. The judge lays out a timeline for this. Understand, this is a very big deal. The next post will be very informative as well, as it addresses what will happen if the defendants pull some nonsense in written response, something the Plaintiffs also addressed. This judge ain’t having it.

This is the warning, “if you don’t respond correctly, dude will be sitting down for a deposition under oath.”

Cognitive Infrastructure = your thoughts, beliefs, opinions. Theyre talking abour censoring things they want hidden from you to control your ‘cognitive infrastructure’: mind control through propaganda & censorship.

I also need to add here, this judge is basically under the watchful eye of the 5th circuit right now, a higher court. As we have seen in many cases, it would’ve been easy for him to just side with the Defendant arguments in this case, not granting any further discovery because of the alleged harm it caused the government.

Even with a gazillion other courts breathing down his back, he is doing the right thing.

This is the most important civil liberties case in modern history.

@TracyBeanzOfficial

In analyzing the judges decision, I suppose he is thinking that by allowing the deposition of a lower official, with options for more later, he is circumventing the 5th circuit stepping in and ruling over him on the pending mandamus (it originate on these deposition appeals.) He is throwing the higher court a bone, while also allowing Plaintiffs all the leverage and leeway they need to make the depositions they want. HOWEVER, I do have a concern.

@TracyBeanzOfficial

There was some hotly contested back and forth on the deposition video and trannoscripts. Of course, the defendants didn’t want them released, arguing harm would come to the officials being deposed.

The Plaintiffs have been releasing the deposition trannoscripts as they get them, and while I am all for transparency, this is a teeny bit concerning to me.

A little voice in the back of my head is hoping they aren’t doing this to get info out in anticipation of the suit being dismissed.

IMPORTANT CONTEXT 👇

Now, to be clear, I don’t have anything tangible to back this up. There’s been no action by the judge that insinuates it. There hasn’t been anything concrete at all. It’s just a little instinctual hunch that creeped its way in, and I would be remiss if I didn’t share it.

If I were they, I would keep the depositions close hold but publicly available and not parade them around like a trophy. Maybe an attorney can debate that with me.

Jen Psaki will be deposed, and it’s the Biden Administrations fault. Here is the link to the previous coverage: https://www.uncoverdc.com/2022/11/28/judge-in-va-takes-rhee-to-task-on-psaki-deposition-in-censorship-case/
