OK- now at insider trading case of ex-Rep Steve Buyer; he is claiming prosecutors illegally saw his emails to or about his lawyer. Inner City Press is covering the case innercitypress.com/sdny6mnpitmobi… and will live tweet, thread below
Buyer - lawyer is pronouncing it Boo-yer - wants the two insider trading schemes tried separately, under Rule 14.
Judge, who pronounces it Boo-yay, is skeptical.
Defense counsel: The evidence will show he didn't play golf. At least not about #TMobile. Then he turns to the #Navigant scheme, and says, There was no probable cause.
Now a 2d defense lawyer, about Brady material.
Money talks, and...
Buyer's 2d lawyer: We need the Brady material from the SEC, beyond the FBI's 302s. You can get it. You can close down the Canadian border for 24 hours-
Judge: Was that one of my cases?
Counsel just plows forward
AUSA: They'll have SEC material soon - by the end of the week.
Judge: Notify me when it happens.
AUSA: Mr Boo-yer used a former romantic partner make his trades. The counts should not severed. Even if they were, we'd seek to introduce evidence of the other scheme
Ex-Rep Buyer is chewing gum, or just clenching his jaw. He paases a note to his lead lawyer. This could go a while
Judge gives Buyer's lawyers 5 minute warning. Lead counsel uses US Attorney Damian Williams' statement the case couldn't have been brought without the SEC to argue it's a joint investigation, and US Attorney's Office must now search SEC files
Judge: I'll rule later.
Buyer's 2d lawyer: I want to know your voir dire procedures.
Judge: You'll get them on a timely basis. But not today.
Story soon.

Judge: The City says what was done by the Mayor is an application of existing law --
Petitioners' lawyer: Not so. Now a police officer, who is not a mental health professional, can involuntarily detain.
City's lawyer: Petitioners are out of line. This was supposed to be discovery conference. Now it seems they are requesting, today, a TRO [Temporary Restraining Order]. But I'm happy to speak to the mertis.
