Full transcript

1. 0:00here's a legal pro tip if you admit to
2. 0:02opposing counsel that he's having a
3. 0:03perry mason moment while cross-examining
4. 0:05you this is your perry mason moment well
5. 0:08you're probably screwed and that is
6. 0:10exactly what happened to alex jones alex
7. 0:12jones got so skewered on
8. 0:14cross-examination that the writers of
9. 0:16law and order said it was too
10. 0:17unrealistic for the show now to say that
11. 0:19this defamation trial by some of the
12. 0:21sandy hook families against alex jones
13. 0:23is going poorly for jones is quite the
14. 0:26understatement now to recall how we got
15. 0:28here jones is already in hot water this
16. 0:31trial is only over damages how much
17. 0:34jones is going to have to pay these
18. 0:36families because he and his lawyers
19. 0:38engaged in so many discovery abuses that
20. 0:41the judge sanctioned him gave him
21. 0:43effectively terminating sanctions where
22. 0:44he had to concede liability jones lost
23. 0:47the case and the sandy hook plaintiffs
24. 0:49won by default that's how abusive they
25. 0:52were during discovery but that takes us
26. 0:54to the viral video that you might have
27. 0:56seen clips of where the plaintiff's
28. 0:58attorney mark bankston absolutely
29. 1:00destroys alex jones on cross after just
30. 1:03setting him up for
31. 1:05a gigantic fall so let's take a look
32. 1:08one of the things you talked about
33. 1:09yesterday is you complied with discovery
34. 1:11right
35. 1:14you said that on the witness stand
36. 1:15that's one of the things i talked about
37. 1:17i mean jones did not actually comply
38. 1:19with discovery but i guess now they're
39. 1:20saying after all the sanctions they have
40. 1:23uh upheld all of their obligations okay
41. 1:26one of the things that you were ordered
42. 1:27to do in this lawsuit
43. 1:30your order to turn over any text
44. 1:32messages in the gene sandy hook right
45. 1:35yes yeah so
46. 1:37probably the very first request that the
47. 1:39plaintiffs would have made is
48. 1:41any documents that mention the phrase
49. 1:43sandy hook or refer to the events of
50. 1:45sandy hook that jones possesses this is
51. 1:48discovery 101 these are the kind of
52. 1:50requests you're going to make and you
53. 1:51didn't have any
54. 1:52right not that we can find now that's a
55. 1:56bit of a cop-out by jones he's saying
56. 1:59you know might have had them but we
57. 2:00couldn't find them
58. 2:01that doesn't get out of his obligations
59. 2:03because you have to do a reasonable
60. 2:05search and your lawyers have to make
61. 2:07sure that you do a reasonable search to
62. 2:08find responsive documents and and you in
63. 2:11fact told me in not needing your
64. 2:13testimony sworn testimony before coming
65. 2:15to this courtroom you searched right i
66. 2:17did okay all right so bankston has set
67. 2:20this up you've testified that you didn't
68. 2:22have any uh sandy hook related texts and
69. 2:25that of course you did a search for them
70. 2:28it's
71. 2:29all downhill from here for for jones do
72. 2:31you remember were you here for mr
73. 2:33shorter yesterday oh yes okay you
74. 2:36remember what owen said the company has
75. 2:38learned from its mistakes about sandy
76. 2:40hook you remember that oh i did hear you
77. 2:43say that you agree with that
78. 2:45yeah we certainly learned from our
79. 2:46mistakes got a lot better okay
80. 2:49mr jones i'd like to show you what's
81. 2:50been mark's plan
82. 2:51one third
83. 2:55you've got it upside down
84. 2:58that's text messages between you and
85. 3:00paul watson isn't it
86. 3:02yes and they mention sandy hook don't
87. 3:04they
88. 3:05yeah let us move 130 into evidence all
89. 3:08right so this is the kind of stuff you
90. 3:09never see in movies it's uh the meat and
91. 3:11potatoes of litigation it's kind of the
92. 3:13boring stuff you're laying foundation
93. 3:15that this document is what it purports
94. 3:16to be uh this witness has verified it
95. 3:19and then you're moving it into evidence
96. 3:21but so far seems pretty routine uh we're
97. 3:24about to find out why that is not the
98. 3:26case and it is a brilliant act of
99. 3:28setting everyone up for a fall here
100. 3:34the judge asks any objections no why
101. 3:36would there be any objections this is
102. 3:38probably just one of the millions of
103. 3:39documents that were turned over
104. 3:42plaintiffs 130 is admitted no objection
105. 3:46so uh the opposing counsel uh doesn't
106. 3:48quite uh understand what this document
107. 3:50is at this point and so he waves any
108. 3:52objection he might make to entering this
109. 3:54particular document into evidence now
110. 3:57jones has been screwed let's zoom in on
111. 3:59the little article up in the corner
112. 4:01i'm going to walk over this to you
113. 4:03someone kind of pointed i know it's a
114. 4:04little hard to read you might be able to
115. 4:05read a little better on your screen but
116. 4:07this is a zoom of mr watson has sent you
117. 4:10a screenshot from infowars.com correct
118. 4:17and it says staged
119. 4:20video shows hospital using dummies in er
120. 4:24for coronavirus footage i believe so
121. 4:26let's go to the first message for mr
122. 4:27watson read along with me mr jones he
123. 4:30says this is a video sergeant so no
124. 4:33problem take your time
125. 4:36man jones has a nasty cough i guess he
126. 4:38needs to take more of those supplements
127. 4:40that he hawks on his channel you may not
128. 4:42think it's a problem and it's reeling
129. 4:43sure mr watson says this is a video of a
130. 4:46medical student trying to intubate
131. 4:49makes us look ridiculous suggesting this
132. 4:52means kovid is fake
133. 4:54sandy hook all over again
134. 4:58i'll read that correctly yes
135. 5:00there was a next message
136. 5:02what did you tell mr watson
137. 5:04i get it
138. 5:05what has happened is this is something
139. 5:07that has taken place after all of the
140. 5:09sandy hook related communications
141. 5:11one of his employees says that we
142. 5:13shouldn't publish this because it makes
143. 5:15us look stupid and it's evocative of
144. 5:17what happened during the sandy hook
145. 5:19stuff and jones says i get it everything
146. 5:22jones has said up until now is basically
147. 5:25a lie and it also shows that jones and
148. 5:27his attorneys never actually searched
149. 5:29for responsive communications so being
150. 5:32caught in that particular lie and
151. 5:34falsity is going to be much much worse
152. 5:37than if they had just turned over these
153. 5:38documents in the first place and that is
154. 5:41why you comply with discovery but let's
155. 5:42see
156. 5:43how the knife gets twisted mr jones it's
157. 5:45true
158. 5:47that this article is right now
159. 5:49live on infowars.com hold up right
160. 5:53i've never seen this text message
161. 5:56i guess you guys got polls my phone
162. 5:58didn't save them so that's all right
163. 6:00your phone didn't say the second one i
164. 6:02told you guys i gave it the i gave it to
165. 6:03the lawyers who said they drain the
166. 6:05phone they didn't find that stuff
167. 6:06[Applause]
168. 6:08yeah and now he's trying to throw his
169. 6:09lawyers under the bus uh that uh must
170. 6:12not have been on my phone i searched my
171. 6:14phones and i turned stuff over to
172. 6:15lawyers if you didn't have this it's
173. 6:17because of the lawyers that's not going
174. 6:19to go as planned
175. 6:21they were supposed to find it so that's
176. 6:22what that's your testimony no i
177. 6:24certainly should as well i don't know
178. 6:25it's going to stay in there
179. 6:27i mean i just i turned the phone over
180. 6:29and said take stuff off can i have you
181. 6:30look in the very bottom below the
182. 6:33very bottom left corner
183. 6:35is that the phone number
184. 6:37yes so you did get my text messages
185. 6:40and they said you didn't nice trick
186. 6:44yes mr johnson
187. 6:46indeed the lawyer can't help himself
188. 6:49because he knows what the next question
189. 6:50is going to be
190. 6:51alex jones is trying to uh to run this
191. 6:55really fine line where uh
192. 6:57yes he held stuff back he got sanctioned
193. 7:00so badly that he lost the liability
194. 7:01phase of the trial he thinks it's safe
195. 7:03to say well i couldn't have possibly
196. 7:05held it back if you have all of these
197. 7:07text messages
198. 7:08but now the final phase of the trap is
199. 7:10just about to be sprung you didn't give
200. 7:12this text message to me you don't you
201. 7:14don't know where this came from do you
202. 7:15know where i got this no 12 days ago
203. 7:18your attorneys messed up and sent me an
204. 7:21entire digital copy of your entire cell
205. 7:24phone with every text message you've
206. 7:27sent for the past two years and when
207. 7:30informed
208. 7:31did not take any steps to identify it as
209. 7:33privileged or protected in any way and
210. 7:36as of two days ago it fell free and
211. 7:37clear into my possession and that is how
212. 7:40i know you lied to me when you said you
213. 7:42didn't have to text messages about
214. 7:43saying okay did you know that
215. 7:45i see i told you the truth this is your
216. 7:47perry mason moment i gave them my phone
217. 7:50and then mr jones you need to answer the
218. 7:52question
219. 7:54so
220. 7:55normally there's some professional
221. 7:57courtesy amongst lawyers where you're
222. 7:59not going to just absolutely destroy
223. 8:01them and throw them under the bus here
224. 8:03uh the lawyers is throwing jones and his
225. 8:05attorneys under the bus i've never heard
226. 8:08of something this inflammatory coming
227. 8:10out against another opposing attorney
228. 8:13during the course of a trial the lawyer
229. 8:16screwed up and sent an entire copy of
230. 8:18jones's phone
231. 8:20to opposing counsel and then didn't claw
232. 8:23it back there are a million things that
233. 8:24you can do to claw that back the lawyer
234. 8:26didn't do that as a result alex jones is
235. 8:29on the stand just getting destroyed
236. 8:32being shown that everything he's talked
237. 8:33about is a lie that um they tried to
238. 8:36continue to hide information from the
239. 8:39plaintiffs
240. 8:41and it's only because of this
241. 8:42inadvertent disclosure that they finally
242. 8:44got the documents that they had been
243. 8:45entitled to this entire time the jury is
244. 8:47hearing all of this and they're finding
245. 8:49out how much of a liar and fabulist alex
246. 8:53jones is if they didn't know already but
247. 8:55also that there are shenanigans as well
248. 8:58and
249. 8:59during the course of trial uh not only
250. 9:02the witnesses credibility but the
251. 9:03lawyer's credibility is everything and
252. 9:05once you lose that credibility you're
253. 9:07probably screwed because the jury will
254. 9:09find ways to uh award people that they
255. 9:12believe and punish people who they don't
256. 9:15believe oh and and by the way it's of
257. 9:17course impossible to prep a witness like
258. 9:19alex jones to be an effective advocate
259. 9:22on the stand
260. 9:23um but man you gotta know just the
261. 9:26basics of self-preservation don't tell
262. 9:29the cross-examining attorney that this
263. 9:30is his perry mason moment it kind of
264. 9:33signals to the jury that you're getting
265. 9:35screwed uh and you deserve to be screwed
266. 9:39no i didn't know this happened but i
267. 9:40mean i told you i gave him a phone over
268. 9:42and just said justin
269. 9:44you said in your deposition
270. 9:47you searched your phone
271. 9:48you said you pulled down the text did
272. 9:51the search function for sandy hook and i
273. 9:53had several several different phones
274. 9:55with this number but i did yeah
275. 9:57of course i mean that's why you got it
276. 9:59there's all kinds of things that can go
277. 10:01wrong in discovery but the easiest the
278. 10:04absolute easiest thing that you can do
279. 10:06as a client or as a lawyer is to do a
280. 10:08word search and when the entire trial
281. 10:11revolves around the the phrase sandy
282. 10:14hook the absolute bare minimum the the
283. 10:18the necessary thing that you have to do
284. 10:20is do a word search for sandy hook and
285. 10:22it's very clear that if they had done
286. 10:24this absolute minimum fundamental thing
287. 10:27this text would have been found and it
288. 10:29would have been turned over to the other
289. 10:31side but they
290. 10:32clearly didn't do that mr johnson that's
291. 10:35not what happened
292. 10:36my lawyer said it to you but i'm hiding
293. 10:38it okay mr jones
294. 10:41mr joseph just answered questions
295. 10:44there's no question mr banks can also
296. 10:47only ask questions sure and a little bit
297. 10:49of foreshadowing here
298. 10:52this is really underselling what
299. 10:54happened between the two lawyers that uh
300. 10:57the opposing counsel the defense
301. 10:58attorney
302. 10:59um
303. 11:00sent
304. 11:01the full copy of jones's phone is just
305. 11:03the tip of the iceberg he actually sent
306. 11:05way
307. 11:06way more than that to opposing counsel
308. 11:08effectively probably the entire case
309. 11:10file from the defense to the plaintiffs
310. 11:13just absolute malpractice and we're
311. 11:15going to get to that because that is if
312. 11:17you can believe it even juicier than
313. 11:20this cross-examination is uh is
314. 11:22indicating mr dunce in discovery you
315. 11:25were asked do you have sandy hook text
316. 11:28messages on your phone and you said no
317. 11:30correct i mean i was mistaken i was
318. 11:32mistaken but you've got the messages
319. 11:34right there you know
320. 11:37i just want to make sure you know before
321. 11:38we go any further you know what it is
322. 11:40yes i do i mean i'm not a tech guy i
323. 11:42told you i gave in my testimony the
324. 11:45phone to the lawyers before whatever and
325. 11:47and so you've got my phone but we didn't
326. 11:49give it to you
327. 11:50please remember if you need to do a
328. 11:51certain amendment you can't i mean you
329. 11:53can't do that
330. 11:58that you
331. 11:59personally searched your phone for the
332. 12:02phrase sandy hook and there were no
333. 12:04messages you said that on your own yes
334. 12:08no i did not lie
335. 12:09and here the plaintiff's attorney is
336. 12:11kind of guilting the lily a little bit
337. 12:12he's has now absolutely established that
338. 12:15jones uh said he did a search uh for the
339. 12:18the word sandy hook uh and that he
340. 12:20previously testified that he did not
341. 12:22have any of those communications which
342. 12:24we now know is absolutely not the case
343. 12:27jones tries to backpedal by saying look
344. 12:29i was mistaken i had many phones uh but
345. 12:32uh i thought that was true at the time
346. 12:34but that seems extraordinarily unlikely
347. 12:37under the cross-examination that we just
348. 12:38saw because again you're trying to
349. 12:40impugn the witness's character and show
350. 12:42that the witness is a liar so as mr
351. 12:45bankston has done here you teed up with
352. 12:47a prior inconsistent statement and then
353. 12:49show them either the evidence uh or the
354. 12:52prior statement that is contradictory to
355. 12:54what they previously testified to so
356. 12:56when i saw this clip i was flabbergasted
357. 12:58how in the world did this happen how did
358. 13:01these documents get turned over after
359. 13:03years of being hidden by alex jones and
360. 13:06his attorneys well luckily the court
361. 13:09held a full hearing on this matter to
362. 13:12discuss
363. 13:13jones's counsel finally moved for a
364. 13:15mistrial the day after this testimony
365. 13:18came out now this hearing did not go
366. 13:21well so let's dive into this hearing
367. 13:23because uh from a seasoned litigator i
368. 13:25think this is actually even more
369. 13:26interesting than the original
370. 13:28cross-examination uh so jones's attorney
371. 13:30is asking for a mistrial effectively
372. 13:32he's saying that the uh malfeasance from
373. 13:35the other side is so terrible that we
374. 13:36need to end this trial and do it over
375. 13:38again so how in the world did this
376. 13:40happen well let's hear it straight from
377. 13:42andino reynald the defense attorney's
378. 13:44mouth a couple weeks before trial a file
379. 13:47transfer link was sent to
380. 13:50the plaintiff's attorneys specifically
381. 13:52mr bankston
382. 13:54that link
383. 13:56linked up a lot of files that shouldn't
384. 13:57have been connected to it okay so he's
385. 13:59saying that a link was sent probably a
386. 14:01dropbox link containing some documents
387. 14:03that needed to be turned over to the
388. 14:05plaintiffs apparently that link
389. 14:06contained much much more than was
390. 14:08intended he said i take it this was sent
391. 14:10in error and i responded to him and i
392. 14:12said it it has been sent an error please
393. 14:15disregard the link i will work on
394. 14:17preparing a new one okay so we hear from
395. 14:19the defense attorney that the
396. 14:20plaintiff's attorney did notify him that
397. 14:23the production had been made and it was
398. 14:25probably in air that's super bad news
399. 14:28for the defense attorney because if
400. 14:30you've been notified and you don't do
401. 14:32anything to claw it back uh well then
402. 14:34you're probably screwed which spoiler is
403. 14:37what happens here i mean we have a
404. 14:39situation here which is akin to to me
405. 14:42mistakenly giving him the key to a room
406. 14:45and you know he opens the door to the
407. 14:47room and instead of finding what he
408. 14:48expected to find he sees other doors and
409. 14:50he recognized that and told me i don't
410. 14:52think he meant to give me this key
411. 14:54and i said please throw it away
412. 14:56apparently at some point thereafter um
413. 15:00he said you know what i'd kind of really
414. 15:01like to see what's behind those doors
415. 15:03this is an interesting argument and he's
416. 15:05doing probably a good job of trying to
417. 15:06paint the plaintiff's actions in the
418. 15:08worst possible light because that's what
419. 15:10you're going to need to convince the
420. 15:11judge to claw back all of these
421. 15:13documents he's saying that the
422. 15:15plaintiff's attorney abused
423. 15:18the inadvertent production went
424. 15:20rummaging around in all of these
425. 15:21documents and found what was good for
426. 15:24his case
427. 15:25and i guess didn't notify or destroy the
428. 15:28documents once they were in his
429. 15:29possession
430. 15:30and
431. 15:31that's why we're here seeking protection
432. 15:33under the texas rules of civil procedure
433. 15:35as well as the court's confidential
434. 15:38reality order so here's the relief that
435. 15:40the defense attorney is looking for he's
436. 15:41asking for a protective order to stop
437. 15:43disseminating the documents to claw them
438. 15:45back to assert privilege and to destroy
439. 15:47uh those documents that have been
440. 15:49inadvertently turned over to the
441. 15:50plaintiffs you're right i'm just gonna
442. 15:51start unsending these one by one he
443. 15:53wrote unsend you keep sending the word
444. 15:55unsend unsend unsend unsent please do
445. 15:58not read i'm begging you yeah i hate to
446. 16:00be
447. 16:01put into this position by the conduct
448. 16:04of
449. 16:05plaintiff's council and of course he is
450. 16:07trying to blame plaintiff's attorney for
451. 16:08this mess uh not he himself the one that
452. 16:11inadvertently produced all this stuff
453. 16:13and and that's why in addition to the
454. 16:15request that they
455. 16:17delete the information from their
456. 16:18servers and delete the link um we're
457. 16:22also requesting at this point
458. 16:23unfortunately a mystery and now we hear
459. 16:25from the plaintiff's attorney and hear
460. 16:26his side of it first let me just go
461. 16:28through the facts that clara said
462. 16:32it was this link of materials was sent
463. 16:34to me it was sent to mr ogden it was
464. 16:37sent by a mr reynolds legal assistant ah
465. 16:40okay so this link was sent not by uh
466. 16:43defense attorney andino reynald but
467. 16:45actually by his legal assistant i think
468. 16:48that legal assistant has probably been
469. 16:50fired uh an easy mistake to make but
470. 16:53it's a mistake that you absolutely
471. 16:55cannot make as i informed mr reynold
472. 16:58we started downloading those materials
473. 17:00we i i was busy on chopra i told my
474. 17:02paralegal get these on our server
475. 17:04download everything now all right a
476. 17:06little bit after you down gets this
477. 17:08stuff downloading
478. 17:09it's like wait a second this file that
479. 17:10we now have on our server is has
480. 17:12clogged up our entire server it's like
481. 17:14300 gigs what's going on okay so the
482. 17:17plaintiff's lawyer does what probably
483. 17:18anyone would do you get a link and you
484. 17:20start downloading it and then only once
485. 17:22you've started downloading it do you
486. 17:23realize that it's a huge production 300
487. 17:26gigabytes and you probably don't know
488. 17:29what's in that link until you've
489. 17:31downloaded everything but it's it's so
490. 17:33big that it's actually clogging his
491. 17:34servers which is hilarious uh well not
492. 17:37for jones's attorneys though mr reagan
493. 17:39will actually block quotes 130 193
494. 17:42through 2d
495. 17:43so i know he knows how to read it but he
496. 17:45still hasn't done
497. 17:46at the moment he is up here requesting a
498. 17:48mistrial because he hasn't followed the
499. 17:50rule even today late has not followed
500. 17:53the rule the rule requires
501. 17:56that production is any privilege his way
502. 17:58okay this is easy to miss but this is
503. 18:00the most important part the plaintiff's
504. 18:02attorney is referring to briefing he's
505. 18:04saying that the defense's brief is
506. 18:06citing a part of the texas rule of civil
507. 18:08procedure about inadvertent disclosure
508. 18:10and he's saying
509. 18:11i know that opposing counsel the defense
510. 18:13attorney is able to read because he is
511. 18:15citing to the operative part of the
512. 18:17texas rule of civil procedure
513. 18:19but it actually is very very bad for him
514. 18:21and he talks about the actual standard
515. 18:24what happens when you make an
516. 18:25inadvertent disclosure lawyers write
517. 18:27these rules so
518. 18:29obviously they're going to make it so
519. 18:30that if you inadvertently disclose
520. 18:32something there's a way to get it back
521. 18:33any privilege is waived
522. 18:35if within 10 days
523. 18:38or if you order a shorter time but
524. 18:39within 10 days the producing party of
525. 18:42when they actually discovered so 10 days
526. 18:44from the moment i told them
527. 18:46that they identify specifically the
528. 18:49material or information produced and
529. 18:51state the privilege assertive
530. 18:55i have not heard any privilege
531. 18:57i've never heard a privilege asserted
532. 18:58over any document so the plaintiff's
533. 19:00lawyer points out that he notified
534. 19:02opposing counsel of the disclosure
535. 19:04opposing counsel didn't do anything he
536. 19:07didn't supplement his production he
537. 19:09never asserted privilege that means all
538. 19:11of these documents all 300 gigabytes of
539. 19:14documents are fair game and the
540. 19:16plaintiff's lawyer is probably right but
541. 19:19even more important than that is all of
542. 19:20the stuff in there he cannot now come
543. 19:22into court and claim 2.3 gigabytes of
544. 19:25phone material blanket designation of
545. 19:27confidentiality the protective order
546. 19:29prohibits them you must identify
547. 19:31specifically the documents that are and
548. 19:33and things like like mr jones and his
549. 19:36intimate messages with roger stone are
550. 19:38not confidential then the plaintiff's
551. 19:40lawyer explains that the defense uh not
552. 19:42only failed to uphold their obligations
553. 19:44under 193.3 uh but they didn't comply
554. 19:47with the court's protective order that
555. 19:49the court can put in additional rules
556. 19:51that govern the disclosure of
557. 19:53information they didn't follow that
558. 19:55they didn't supplement their production
559. 19:57so
560. 19:58even the email that says please
561. 19:59disregard that link i'll send you
562. 20:01another link he didn't even follow
563. 20:02through with that
564. 20:03and oh by the way
565. 20:05the vast majority of these documents
566. 20:07are not privileged and should have been
567. 20:09disclosed years and years ago so i don't
568. 20:12think that you have complied with the
569. 20:14protective order
570. 20:16i will let you
571. 20:18do so now
572. 20:20if there are documents and you would
573. 20:22like to mark them as confidential and we
574. 20:24can go through the process
575. 20:26and i can review them and make a
576. 20:28decision but i'm not going to seal the
577. 20:30entire
578. 20:32quantity of information
579. 20:34without knowing what's in it when the
580. 20:35rules weren't followed properly it's a
581. 20:38tremendous amount of information here
582. 20:40i know the problem is it probably should
583. 20:43have been disclosed
584. 20:44a year ago or longer and then there
585. 20:47would have been plenty of time told
586. 20:48through all of it and in the end the
587. 20:50judge doesn't see all these documents
588. 20:52she allows the defense to try to assert
589. 20:54privilege she recognizes that the vast
590. 20:56majority of these documents are not
591. 20:58privileged and should have been turned
592. 21:00over and then of course the defense's
593. 21:01prior discovery abuses come back to bite
594. 21:03them again because how in the world are
595. 21:05they going to
596. 21:07actually assert privilege or review 300
597. 21:09gigabytes worth of files in a couple of
598. 21:11days while at trial
599. 21:13but the judge
600. 21:15doesn't have any sympathy she says that
601. 21:17this stuff should have been turned over
602. 21:18and the reason that they're in this
603. 21:19position is because of their own
604. 21:20malfeasance and the lesson here that
605. 21:22clients learn time and time again is
606. 21:24don't hold back discovery don't engage
607. 21:27in discovery abuses or stuff like this
608. 21:29is going to happen oh and one more thing
609. 21:32at the end of the trial the plaintiff's
610. 21:34lawyer lets the judge and opposing
611. 21:36counsel know
612. 21:37that law enforcement is requesting these
613. 21:40documents and not only law enforcement
614. 21:42but in particular the january 6
615. 21:44committee is very interested in these
616. 21:47documents and he's going to turn them
617. 21:49over to that committee so it looks like
