Well if you're sure, that settles that.

Yes and unopposed by defense council. ORDER granting Unopposed Motion for Protective Order as to Donald J. Trump (1), Waltine Nauta (2). Signed by Magistrate Judge Bruce E. Reinhart Jun 19, 2023

I am pretty much a home body here in Thailand -- the only time I get around is when my tropical horticulturist friend from Florida comes here and I end up going with him (translator?) to places as above "a tourist would never get to" Particularly we once spent a few days in the back area sof Queen Sirikit Garden out side Chiang Mai. This is a picture cropped o him and one of his hybrid gingers in Florida.

I started doing legal research in the US Oil & Gas industry -- taxes and regulatory reporting e.g. -- in the early 1980's pre- internet when you actually had to go to a law library and use printed or floppy disk indexes and then go to the stacks or microfilm. And within the client base and their legal/accounting firms, of the computer systems firm I worked for, I did become known as a wonk knew his way through the stacks and came up with the actual data.

You're welcome. I just look at the case. And the case stays the same no matter what gets posted on this website. I actually read the case docket. I have yet to see hardly anyone on here refer directly to the case docket for any of Trump's criminal or civil adventures. I voted against Trump twice although in Florida that really didn't make much difference. I would vote against him again in 2024 if he ever got the nomination but because of Patriot Act stuff I will not be able to register to vote in Florida again.

From the relentless Maggie Haberman at the NY Times: Judge in Trump Documents Case Sets Tentative Trial Date as Soon as August The judge, Aileen M. Cannon, set an aggressive schedule for moving the case forward, though the proceedings are likely to be delayed by pretrial clashes. The timeline set by the judge, Aileen M. Cannon, is likely to be delayed by extensive pretrial litigation — including over how to handle classified material — and its brisk pace seems in keeping with a schedule set under the Speedy Trial Act. Brandon L. Van Grack, a former federal prosecutor who has worked on complex criminal matters involving national security, said the trial date was “unlikely to hold” considering that the process of turning over classified evidence to the defense in discovery had not yet begun. Still, he said, Judge Cannon appeared to be showing that she intended to do what she could to push the case to trial quickly. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/20/us/politics/trump-classified-documents-trial-date.html https://archive.is/hGzIv

Fine. But a Discovery Order was issued at the June 13, 2023 arraignment: THE COURT : All right . And the other typical step that defense lawyers in our district take is to ask for the issuance of the standing discovery order . THE COURT :Are you making that request as well? MR BLANCHE: Yes , Your Honor. THE COURT : All right . The standing discovery order either has been uploaded or will soon be uploaded to the CM-ECF system. Standing Order typical clause (from another case): The Government shall permit the defendant(s) to inspect and copy the following items or copies thereof, or supply copies thereof, which are within the possession, custody or control of the Government, the existence of which is known or by the exercise of due diligence may become known to the Government: (my italics)

From the same Reuters article linked above: Cannon's order setting a tentative Aug. 14 trial is considered standard. However, the case will need to proceed under a strict and meticulous set of rules set forth in a law known as the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA): a law that aims to protect classified evidence and manage how such records can be disclosed.

The DOJ issued the subpoena in March and the attorneys responded mid -March. This was a June 2 CNN article and at least I have not noted that the DOJ has taken any further action.

This from Jonathan Turly on Twitter: ...They (DOJ) may also have a specific document in mind, but they have not indicated that they have proof of its removal. That could be part of the case to come. However, we now know Trump's account of the audiotape. Exclusive: Trump attorneys haven’t found classified document former president referred to on tape following subpoena The sources say prosecutors made clear to Trump’s attorneys after issuing the subpoena that they specifically wanted the Iran document he talked about on tape as well as any material referencing classified information – like meeting notes, audio recordings or copies of the document – that may still be Trump’s possession. Attorneys for Donald Trump turned over material in mid-March in response to a federal subpoena related to a classified US military document described by the former president on tape in 2021 but were unable to find the document itself, two sources tell CNN. It is unclear if the government already possesses a copy of the Iran document from the boxes Trump’s legal team returned to the National Archives last year or recovered in the subsequent FBI search. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/02/politics/donald-trump-iran-subpoena/index.html

The New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman -- who has been following Trump in NY for years before he became President -- has a report on the Fox Interview here. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/19/us/politics/trump-classified-document-fox-news.html https://archive.is/mLcNA But this whole Bedminster NJ audio tape may become what Alfred Hitchcock called the MacGuffin. The real issue here for Trump is the 37 count indictment in Florida and -- if for their sake alone -- I hope Kise and Blanche know what they are doing despite the big upfront retainers they have been reported to have received.

I have no idea. This is not a new jury trial. An appeal is largely concerned with procedural issues. And whether the jury verdict jives with complaint as filed. And the above is the complaint as filed long before he trial -- with the word AND not OR. "In her new claims, Carroll maintains that Trump committed battery "when he forcibly raped and groped her" and that he defamed her when he denied raping her last month." NOVEMBER 24, 2022 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-rape-sexual-assault-lawsuit-e-jean-carroll-new-york/ And in this case, per the notice filed with the the appeals court, there will be unspecified constitutional issues raised. But as this is the first sentence of the appeal's Nature of the Action, I think it will have something to do with this: Appellee-Plaintiff, E. Jean Carroll’s (“Plaintiff”) contentions arise out of an alleged sexual assault which she claims occurred at the Bergdorf Goodman store in New York, New York on an uncertain date “between the fall of 1995 and the spring of 1996.” (My italics)

Well aside that his lawyers might be telling him to be quiet and give us a break, a gag order other than for discovery material would -- at least to me -- not make sense up to and until an actual trial and jury seating, as such a gag order would (?) be challenged on First Amendment rights. But not after. Because then ex-POTUS could be accused of trying to influence the jury.

Well the NY Court Bragg - indictment seems mostly the same: A state judge in New York cautioned former President Donald Trump on Tuesday to obey a protective order dictating how he can talk about discovery materials during the upcoming criminal trial stemming from hush money payments paid to a former adult movie actress. The order covers how Trump communicates publicly about emails, photographs, testimony and other evidence gathered as legal proceedings move forward ahead of the trial date set for March 25, 2024. During a hearing held over a video connection, Judge Juan Merchan told Trump he must obey a protective order or there could be a "wide range of possible sanctions including a finding of contempt." https://www.npr.org/2023/05/23/1177644144/trump-stormy-daniels-judge-new-york-hush-money-case-carroll But it does get confusing. I think of the old baseball stadium hawker line: Can’t tell the players without a program.

A gag order might (maybe) be sought by the Prosecution once a jury is selected.

The Protective Order only deals with discovery materials: 5. Defendants’ Review of Discovery Materials. Defendants shall only have access to Discovery Materials under the direct supervision of Defense Counsel or a member of Defense Counsel’s staff. Defendants shall not retain copies of Discovery Material. Defendants may take notes regarding Discovery Materials, but such notes shall be stored securely by Defense Counsel or a member of Defense Counsel’s staff in the same manner as the Discovery Materials. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.648653/gov.uscourts.flsd.648653.27.0.pdf

Defense attorneys may decide that, although they get to look at the classified documents, it isn't necessary to show Trump anything.

I was really only responding to the notion that an 'unopposed motion' that was drafted in consultation with the defense is a "significant victory" for the prosecution.

One reason to not move your account to a new province is that you might not qualify for a new account under the current regs at the new province.

From the Complaint filed November 2022: 122. Trump committed battery against Carroll when he forcibly raped and groped her. Logical Operators - Compound Statements There are two types of compound statements used in logic functions: these are called conjunction and disjunction. A conjunction implies that both statements are true, while disjunction implies that at least one statement is true. With a conjunction, statements are connected by the word "and" while with disjunction statements are connected by the word "or." https://nemeth.aphtech.org/lesson10.2

That is a very good price and the procedure and the accommodations sound just fine. But consider this: "Screening guidelines by age are: 45-75 — colonoscopy every 10 years for average-risk patients. 76-85 — selective testing based on individual factors, such as overall health, life expectancy, and previous screening history." https://www.gastroconsa.com/colorectal-cancer-screening-guidelines-for-2023 So while getting the colonoscopy done at a private hospital will be 2 - 3x the price if not more, factoring the difference over a 10 year period isn't that great.

Note that on the Court docket this motion is listed as an unopposed motion: ORDER granting Unopposed Motion for Protective Order as to Donald J. Trump (1), Waltine Nauta (2). Signed by Magistrate Judge Bruce E. Reinhart Magistrate Judge Bruce E. Reinhart. From the motion request to the Court: The government has conferred with counsel for Defendant Donald J. Trump and Defendant Waltine Nauta, who have no objections to this motion or the protective order.

Trump at 34. of the indictment says of the "Senior Military Official": "This was him. This was the Defense Department and him." As far as Milley saying someone else may have written the note of the DoD's plan to invade Iran in the final days of the Trump Administration, not that the NY Times, Washington Post, CNN, NBC News, CBS News, Fox News, Politico, The Hill, etc. have been made aware as far as I can note.

Only as it relates to the potential jury pool.

As linked to CNN above, Milley, the Senior Military Official" says he never wrote such a letter. From the indictment (click to enlarge)
