OK - now US v. Steve Bannon, arraignment and return on arrest warrant before DDC Magistrate Robin Meriweather. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below
Judge Meriweather: You are charged with contempt of Congress, you could face one year in prison. Also 2 USC 192 violation... You have the right to remain silent, and the right to a speedy and public jury trial.
Bannon's lawyer: Under Rule 58b3, there can't been an arraignment before a Magistrate unless the defendant also consents to trial before a Magistrate. To be clear, we are not waiving.
Judge Meriweather: This is a misdemeanor, I do these arraignments all the time
Judge Meriweather: This case is assigned to District Judge Nichols. Would you prefer arraignment before him?
Bannon's lawyer: We'd waive the arraignment.
Assistant US Attorney: We're willing to go before Judge Nichols.
Magistrate Meriweather: Let's not do it.
Now Magistrate Judge Meriweather reads out Bannon's rights under the Due Process Protection Act, says Judge Nichols Nov 18 at 11 am before Judge Nichols.
AUSA: The government has not preference.
Bannon's lawyer: We prefer virtual.
Magistrate Meriweather: Does the Government want him detained?
AUSA: No, we concur with Pre-Trial.
Magistrate Meriweather: That's surrender passport, call in weekly, notify in advance of all travel.
Sidbury: Pre Trial is in possession of his passport.
Judge Meriweather: Can you confirm you hear the conditions of release?
Bannon: I did, your Honor.
Judge Meriweather: Let's swear him to the conditions. [Done]
Adjourned. [Note: even though Bannon was in person, this had a call-in line, unlike GMax in SDNY

OK - now back to #RittenhouseTrial closing arguments. ADA Binger: I have no doubt that the defendant had no idea what his weapon could do, he did not even look into it. Inner City Press has covered matthewrussellleeicp.substack.com/p/in-rittenhou… and will live tweet, below
ADA Binger: The defendant had fired at Jump Kick Man and miraculously did not kill him. Is it reasonable for a criminal to be able to shoot him way out of a crime scene? Could a bank robber do this?
[On the screen: "The Defendant caused the whole incident."]
ADA Binger: Full metal jacket ammo and pierce body armor and squad cars. It can travel five and a half football fields... We showed video of Drew Hernandez, who said he felt as risk here in little old Kenosha

OK - now US v. #GhislaineMaxwell proceeding before Judge Nathan who on Friday denied Press request for listen-only call-in line storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below
Judge Nathan: My chambers sent both sides a list of 13 additional prospective jurors that should be consider for excusing. I understand the defense objected to striking four of them. So we'll keep them on the list, to proceed to voir dire.
Judge Nathan: Subtracting those out, we'd exclude 23, 114, 215 257... 561. Also, number 92. The two new ones that the defense wants to object are 226 and 404. We'll remove those two out of the agreed to list. So we have 231 jurors we agree should be called back.

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?]

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
