Judge Cohen says that he will file a written order and upload a transcript. He moves onto the next steps of the litigation.

The parties may meet and confer "as early as tomorrow" to discuss the plans for proceeding with the action.
NYAG charities bureau chief James Sheehan anticipates trial in early 2022.
If the NRA has other motions to dismiss, the NYAG wants them all to be consolidated. The NRA's counsel says the group is not currently planning any but won't commit to that.

Judge Cohen says there can't be endless motions to dismiss.

"I'd like to get moving on the case."

Brendan Hunt, calling himself "X-Ray Ultra" and seen spouting white-supremacist slogans, has been charged with threatening to kill U.S. officials.

This is one of his chilling messages.

Story, @LawCrimeNews. lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol-si…
Prosecutors also quoted from an 88-second video rant titled "KILL YOUR SENATORS" posted two days after the U.S. Capitol siege.

He allegedly spouted the white-supremacist slogan "ZOG" after a barrage of threats.

Complaint in the story at the top of the thread.
"ZOG" is short for the white supremacist conspiracy theory of a "Zionist Occupied Government," and "88"—the length of the video—is neo-Nazi code for "Heil Hitler," after the eighth letter of the alphabet.
