24 service, Sidney Powell, April 24th, 2014," and there are at least
1 trial that I presided over and me and things that happened in the
2 trial, and the saga continued after trial. And I'm embarrassed

4 THE COURT: Here's what I'm going to do, and it's not to
5 punish your client, but I'm going to treat him like I would treat
6 anyone else before the Court. So I'm going to say no, but there
12 there are many eyes watching this case, and I would prefer that
17 so....
20 can we accommodate you and your new attorneys? You're new to the
24 information.

18 other way that the Court can accommodate you? I know it's

14 last hearing, the Court issued a Brady order in this case, and
15 for the simple reason that it issues Brady orders in every case,
16 and that was the only reason. The courts never get copies of

20 want to put that on the record in this case because there have
21 been some theories that, you know, maybe the Court knows
