OK - in case of Roy Moore v. Sasha Baron Cohen, now a hearing with Larry Klayman saying Cohen was "fed answers" during his video deposition, wants him to testify in person @sdnylive, Inner City Press covers innercitypress.com/sdny6mooreklay… and will live tweet, thread below

Klayman says Sasha Baron Cohen was looking down and reading answers, in an "unidentified residence" in Australia.
Cohen's lawyer: He was looking down at laptop.
Judge Cronan: He's a tall man.
Klayman: He needs to be put under oath.

Cohen's lawyer: Mr. Klayman doesn't identify any response that was delayed. But he is shifting that say that someone else was in the room, supposedly feeding Mr. Cohen answers. He suggest it could be Todd Schulman. But he was deposed the day after, in LA...

Klayman: There was the time Sasha Baron Cohen was going to drop a card in front of the FBI, when he was going after Ben Carson - thankfully, Ben Carson was not a victim, the figured it out.

Klayman: ... they figured it out. But this is how they make money, with fraud. This is how you get Golden Globe awards.
Judge Cronan: Mr. Klayman, we're getting a little far afield. I will deny the request, I have viewed the video & don't think he was fed answers

Cohen's lawyer: The video should be confidential, like in the Cosby case, and the Paisley Park case. Plaintiff just wants to distribute the video in the media. They have no litigation reason. It's just a quid pro quo, to embarrass Mr. Cohen...

Klayman: When I ran Judicial Watch, you may remember, though you're young, Judge, I deposed nearly the entire Clinton cabinet. And they opposed, David Kendall and others. But we did it. Why not here?

@sdnylive

Cohen's lawyer: There is no presumption of public access to depositions that have not been filed with the court.
[Inner City Press / @sdnylive So why doesn't Klayman just file it?]
Cohen's lawyer uses the magic words, "judicial document" courtlistener.com/docket/1453317…

Judge Cronan: I find that the video does not find without any of the categories in the protective order. I have not reviewed it. And the transcript is not confidential.

Judge Cronan: Should there be a new protective order? Only a portion of the transcript has been filed, only it is a judicial document. [Now seems to say he *has* seen the video; also distinguishes the cases cited by Cohen, including Judge Kaplan's Prince decision]

[Seems the video will be made available, presumably by Klayman - watch this feed.]
Judge Cronan: Now let me turn to the matter of discipline. Mr. Klayman was disciplined and didn't tell the DC Court of Appeals. The DC Circuit imposed a 90 day suspension on him.

Judge Cronan: But Judge Carter admitted Mr. Klayman pro hac vice. Did he have to report?
Cohen's lawyer says yes.
Klayman: I'm a member in good standing of the Florida Bar.
Judge Cronan: I will not refer Mr. Klayman to the Committee on Grievances. Now, on recusal.

Judge Cronan: I've been asked to recuse myself, in an affidavit by Mr. Moore.
Klayman (citing cases) - We'd like it referred back to Judge Carter.
Judge Cronan (citing cases) I decline to recuse. Mr Moore just argues that he preferred Judge Carter's rulings.

Judge Cronan: OK, that will be it for today. We are adjourned.

OK - now #insurrectionBlues case of US v. Landon Kenneth Copeland. Judge Meriweather said they are going to go under seal - then return? Inner City Press covered the first hearing and will live tweet, if only silence, thread below. Song: soundcloud.com/innercitypress…

It's one thing to briefing go sealed about mental health. But what about the outcome?
His lawyer: He does not consent to being present only by video.
Judge Meriweather: I'll seal it in a minute. If I defer ruling under June 7, he will remain incarcerated...

Judge Meriweather: Disconnect the public line.
Voice: You have been put in the waiting room. You cannot listen until the host admits you.
Q: So does that mean it will go back on the record afterward? Isn't the decision to seal entirely up to the defendant?
