[Before jury]
Judge: I understand the press is doing their best with the orders. What about Jane's texts?
AUSA Comey: I feel a need to personally read them before releasing them to the press. How about Saturday for Friday's exhibits?
Judge: Don't kill yourself
AUSA Comey: The reporters are not officers of the court, and they won't know what has to not be reported. That's why I want to review them myself. I don't think there is a real Constitutional issue here.

[Before jury comes in]
Judge: What about the witness' conflicts with other romantic partners?
AUSA: The last one was with a colleague, not a girlfriend
[Note: none of this is in the docket, despite Inner City Press' filing &Judge's orders storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Combs' Shapiro: This is impeachment material
Judge: These are assaults under Rule 608(b)? Is that fair?
Shapiro: It's not 608(b)... We're happy to provide the proffer ex parte, it's difficult to explain the fact
Judge: Ex parte proffer is irregular [filings too]
Judge Subramanian: Let's bring our jury back out.
All rise!
AUSA: I am going to enter a stipulation into evidence. During a search at Miami airport, law enforcement seized two cell phones from Kristina Khorram's person
AUSA: Publish that for the jury...It says 24 contacts, including "Eddy My Angel" and his phone number, and "Eddy My Angel friend Inter-Continental." There was also a photo of the IDs on the device.
Courtroom deputy: Marshals, can you bring the defendant out? Oh, I think Mr. Donaldson is in there [the holding cell] with Mr. Combs.
[Combs is brought in]
Judge Subramanian: Let's start with the compilation video. I got this letter patreon.com/posts/diddy-do…
Judge: Is Mr. Garcia competent to testify about this video, given his position in the hotel's security?
AUSA Steiner: I have not really asking him about that aspect.
Judge: We are not using the correct cell phone video, so this could get in under the rules.
[Before jury in]
Judge Subramanian: Mr. Steel, how much longer do you have on cross?
Combs' Steel: At least until lunch, maybe after.
Judge: We're not going to have 15 more Instagram posts?
Steel: I can't promise that...
Judge: Defense, on the elevator hallway video, you are objecting to showing the versions we discussed?
Defense: Yes, it shows Mr. Combs running thirty percent faster than really happened, it's prejudicial. We let AUSA Smyser know how we will cross the expert
[Before jury is brought it]
Judge: Let's address this. All the Government is saying is that the message shows Ms. Ventura's state of mind
Combs' Donaldson: That's the problem with not being able to re-call Ms. Ventura as a witness.
AUSA: All Mr. Nash will quote it, He's making me freak off on my birthday. She didn't want to go.
Combs' Alexandra Shapiro: A spouse might say, He's making me go to Rangers game, I'd rather not tonight.
Judge: You could have cross examined Ms. Ventura about this
