Bad news friends. Florida court is turning wi-fi off to block the media from reporting the Trump hearing in real-time. This truly sucks and I don't understand it. We do this in DC District Court all the time. It makes courts accessible to the public. I am beyond annoyed.

I am told texting during the hearing is also BANNED. So our reporter inside the court house cannot transmit what happens until this is over.

(2,807 posts)The Feds have already gone through everything, they use a "Taint Team" to do the exact same thing a SM does. They've already separated out the stuff they want to return to Cheese Dick.
And a SM can't reverse time, so the Feds have already seen everything.
The key thing in all this is that this little side-show allowed the DOJ/FBI to release THE PHOTOGRAPH.
THE PHOTOGRAPH trumps appointing a SM.
You gotta hand it to Merrick Garland, that dude is 9.5 steps ahead of everybody!

(2,807 posts)I do understand the worry. Be a fool not too.
I kinda don't mind if a SM is appointed. It will change nothing, other than give the MAGAts rapturous delight for a news cycle. They'll spin it as everything is all over, Cheese Dick won again!
But no.
A SM shuts up the "No transparency" bullshit.

Type or write (w/stylus) your story as you would in Word.
Make sure its a shared note linked via the cloud (LTE will still allow this).
Everything typed or written Will sync and be seen by the share-ee. LOLOL
