It begins: UN Security Council "press" conference by Oct Prez @KenyaMissionUN @AmbMKimani - Inner City Press emailed asking for WebEx access (as it has at IMF) & Q's on #Afghanistan #Burma #Cameroon, #Yemen #Nigeria - no answers. #UNcorruptsEveryone - thread Image
Now @AmbMKimani says UNSC will go on junket to Niger (no UN mission there) and Mali (failing mission); he quotes an unnamed Ambassador at breakfast this morning trying to "touch reality." The reality at the UN today is censorship ImageImage
Now @AmbMKimani says "UNSC is expected to negotiate a resolution for the mission for a Referendum in #WesternSahara." The UN has been supposed to hold that referendum for decades and never did, took money, had sex abusers running MINURSO innercitypress.com/unguterres2rew… Image
Now @AmbMKimani claims he will grant interview request. Then why did @KenyaMissionUN refuse to even answer on WebEx access to ask about #Nigeria #Cameroon #Yemen? Says he wants Kenyans to know what he's doing. We'll work on that - watch this feed
Now those allowed in the room consent to asking questions in bunches, so that @AmbMKimani can dodge or ignore any Qs he wants. Tellingly, all three called on first ask the same question. Nothing on #Nigeria #Cameroon #Haiti #WesternSahara much less UN rapes in CAR
And now it's over - @AmbMKimani took only six questions, at least four and a half of them on the same topic. The topics that Inner City Press emailed @KenyaMissionUN about were not asked about, nor the email answered. Story coming independent.co.uk/news/world/pol…

OK - now Jan 6 case of US v. (mortgage broker) Matthew MAZZOCCO, he is up for sentencing by Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, to picketing or parading in the Capitol. Inner City Press has covered the case innercitypress.com/ddc15ainsurrec… and will live tweet, thread below
Mazzocco's lawyer complains that "some reporter" (definitely not this one) published a screen shot from his initial appearance.
Judge Chutkan: The written submissions were not filed under seal. You can't seal without permission of the court.
Judge Chutkan: I'm going to unseal the documents. But I'm going to give you a week to file a memo. The public has a right to access these documents, especially in these case.
[So what about the US v. Padilla video before Judge Bates, requested Sept 22?]
