1/ If you were wondering what all the fuss was about with
@ChuckRossDC watching Christopher Steele's trial on Zoom (the defamation case brought by Gubarev), it's much ado about nothing. Here's a lengthy account of the story.

2/ TLDR is that the trial was public and outsiders were allowed to watch. But due to the virus they had to either watch via Zoom link in a neighboring courtroom or remotely but only with the judge's approval. The problem was that they forgot to make the Zoom link private.
3/ This meant that anyone who had the link could watch, without asking for approval. The judge said it wasn't done deliberately so the lawyers who shared the link will probably get a slap on the wrist. Nothing to do with Ross though.
4/ We do learn something interesting though. One of the people approved to watch remotely was a representative of Steele's insurers. That explains how Steele manages to pay all these lawyers. I guess they'll soon argue over whether Steele's insurance extends to fabrications.
