LAWYER: Good morning, Mr. Chotiner. Is this your first time being deposed?

CHOTINER: Does that matter?

LAWYER: Sir, only I ask questions today.

CHOTINER: Is that right?

LAWYER: Now wait a minute!

It will be interesting to see if Mystery Man shows up at the next hearing.

He’s important enough to be at the last two hearings and sit on the other side of the bar, but maybe they’re reading your work and they’ll chicken out.

The thumbnail for the article is quite the selection; obviously to obscure that the protestor was a Marine in dress uniform….

Why even bother having a picture at all?

But U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer on Wednesday cited other evidence that Musk may have personally concluded McCormick was biased, which could lift attorney-client privilege. Breyer indicated he may rule on the matter later in the trial currently scheduled to continue through March 19.

Right. This blurb raises eyebrows. Other evidence is irrelevant as to whether privilege is waived.

Musk spilled the contents of his private communications with his lawyers, which were for the purpose of providing legal advice, to advance his position in his current case.

Privilege is cooked.

By tying his belief that McCormick was biased against him to his lawyers, Musk insulated himself from extensive questioning about the decision through legal protections shielding discussions between attorneys and their clients.

Is this the author’s conclusion? Or Musk’s belief about his own testimony?

Either way, that’s not how any of this works. Communications are privileged, not facts. And even so, now privilege is waived…

Whoever decries, in a frothing rage, that they will not rest until every single member of this regime is rotting in a jail cell gets my vote and money.

39-game winning streak started tonight.

What’s confusing about the “Secretary of War”, of the “Department of War”, sending our “warfighters”, who are primed for lethality and have the “warfighter ethos”, to not do war stuff?

I put this in the same category as bragging about fighting a “forever war”… these idiots seem incapable of grasping basic concepts.

By “catch a flight,” is Noem referring to the taxpayer-funded flying sky palace?

For me at least, the LLM is not doing “research” (which isn’t allowed anyway). Rather, it’s helping me be more efficient in using my old work. “Not reinventing the wheel” faster, which gives me more time and energy to do the actual research and stay on top of developments.

A useful thing I’ve found with our secure LLM is not writing briefs, but finding stuff in my old briefs—I’ve been practicing long enough that I have hundreds of old briefs, and the LLM can search all of it in a few seconds and find precisely what otherwise would’ve taken me 20 minutes to find.

Not to be confused with American Irish, which isn’t really Irish at all, but it thinks it is.

Maybe he knew my great uncle Frank—Army, wounded in the Battle of the Bulge, Bronze Star. Never said a word.

“You have no obligation, unless war were declared…”

He needed to cover up an accidental ISIS tattoo, and the Nazi tattoo was the only thing they had.

Do not cite the deep state magic to me, Witch; I was there when it was written.

My kids’ bedtime story tonight is going to be about Chiang, the mythical conservative warrior, and his sidekick, Marco.

This clown was confirmed 99-0.

The US’s strategic objective is “👊🏻 🇺🇸 🔥”

Both before and after the war started, the White House’s justification and purpose has been shifting and incoherent.

Chuck Schumer: “he can’t do that, can he?!”

Trump has abysmal approval ratings (from all the horrible things he’s done) while having solid unemployment numbers and a generally resilient economy.

It’s hard to imagine things getting more chaotic, but once the economy goes, things are going to get much weirder.

Small talk while waiting for the courtroom to open is the worst.

A seasoned litigator knows the key is to handle something “urgent” on your phone.

“Excuse me, I have to address something pressing.”

You laugh, but Liberty’s symposium on Cuck Law is second to none. Great way to keep up on CLEs.
