PUBLIC SERVICE ADVISORY: For anyone trying to listen to audio feed of DC Circuit arguments in Trump v. Mazars this morning, the court advises it has had a technical glitch and has recessed to address it bit.ly/3m2s7iV
And it has added a scary exclamation point to its YouTube feed. It’s almost like an Emergency Broadcast System test. (Yes, I know that’s the old name.) I’m waiting to be told where to tune for official news or information.
And we’re back.
For any people just joining and confused to be hearing about a urine sample, we are on the 2nd case on calendar about a pilot’s license being revoked. Mazars is 3rd on the list today. How the mighty have fallen….

HAPPENING NOW: Discussion of possible trial date for former DNC outside counsel Michael Sussmann, charged with false statement to FBI by Special Counsel Durham. Judge says he understands deft’s desire to ‘get on with his life win, lose or draw.'
But judge cooper notes congestion of DC fed court trial calendar (1/6 stuff but he didn’t mention)… “Unfortunately, I don't have the authority sitting here just to issue a trial date…We are operating under a master trial calendar….I need to get clearance."
Cooper: 'I think where this is going [for trial] is mid-late-May, early June.' Notes again that Durham prosecutors already have Danchenko trial scheduled for April 18 in EDVA.

BREAKING (if unsurprising): Giuliani associate Lev Parnas declines to take stand in own defense at trial on charges of straw/foreign campaign donations. Def atty Bondy: 'Mr. Parnas has, upon reflection and consultation with counsel and also his family, decided not to testify.'
Parnas thanks judge for extra time to think about testifying and consult w/his wife who is pregnant and out of town. Then says, ‘After speaking with my wife, my family and my attorneys, I have chosen not to testify.’ Judge intends to release jury for day. Closings tomorrow.
A bit more discussion of Daily Beast paywalling policies at Parnas trial out of earshot of jury. Defense lawyer says got statement from Beast which sounded equivocal to me. Judge says he can see stories on home page. Prosecution says evidence has closed. Judge agrees.

HAPPENING NOW: 2 New York attorneys, Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman, seeking to plead guilty to firebombing (empty) NYPD cruiser during racial justice protests last May. Offering plea to 1 felony count, 10 year max, can appeal if sentenced to more than 5 years
OK here’s the crux. Prosecutors believe terrorism enhancement in sentencing guidelines applies, pushing guidelines to 10 years. Defense disagrees, preserve right to appeal if sent >5 years. Judge Brian Cogan: ‘Obviously, the terrorism enhancement is going to be a big issue.'
Judge Cogan: 'I have no idea where I’m coming out on that at this point.'
