Unless both parties and the court have a time machine available, I think they will have to file motions asking for a new order, one that sets it for the next available January 5th.
Judge wants this to move pretty quick and has set due dates for filings as soon as this Friday (joint discovery order) or failing that, Monday (proposed discovery order form each party).
First round of motions due by Oct 20.
Responses by Nov 3.
Replies by Nov 10.
Hearing on motions Nov 19.
Additional pre-trial motions due by Oct 30.
Gov't responses by Nov 13.
Def Replies by Nov. 20.
Hearing on motions Dec 9.
And all filings are to be turned in by 5pm on their due date.
That should save my F5 key a few dozen hits.
According to media who were at the courthouse today, prosecution advised the judge that materials included a "significant" amount of classified information AND...
DOJ is not sure whether it will use CIPA or DECLASSIFY the information(!!!!) and they are leaning towards the latter!!
It'll be declassify it all OR the "fastest CIPA process you've ever seen in your life,"
Like the rest of us, Comey's counsel doesn't know for sure who Person 3 is.
Could be Richman, McCabe, Baker, Rybicki, or someone else.
(Some of us have deduced that Person 1 is Hillary, or was in the original draft the prosecution put to the grand jury)
All of those possibilities are "problematic" for the prosecution.
đź§µUNSEALED: New indictment against Zubayr al-Bakoush for his role in the September 11, 2012, terrorist attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, Libya.
Charges include conspiracy, terrorism, attempted murder, murder, and arson.
1/n
Al-Bakoush is the third person to be apprehended and charged in connection to the Benghazi attack.
The other two are Ahmed Salim Faraj Abu Khatallah and Mustafa Muhammad Muftah al-Imam.
2/n
Abu Khattala was indicted in August of 2013 and captured by Delta Force in June 2014.
He was convicted in 2017, sentenced in 2018, but the sentence was later overturned due to it being WAY too low—just 22 years.
He was resentenced to 28 years and is now in the CO Supermax. 3/n
đź§µThere have been a few interesting developments recently in the case of DOW Contractor Perez-Lugones, who stole classified intel, and WaPo's Hannah Natanson who published excerpts of that intel.
I'm going to detail them in this thread and in a new video.

For background, here is my previous thread on this case.
AG Pam Bondi has empowered the US Attorney for Eastern Missouri, Thomas Albus, as a Special Prosecutor for DOJ under 28 USC 515 and directed him to conduct voter fraud probes in all 94 US Districts.
His first overt move was to convince a magistrate judge in Fulton County to authorize a search warrant for their 2020 election records. The FBI executed that search warrant last week under the supervision of FBI Deputy Director Andrew Bailey and DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
Why would the DNI be there? Well, according to the WSJ, she's been given a task: investigate foreign interference in recent elections—including 2020.
This means that components of both the DOJ and the ODNI are working on election fraud and foreign interference inquiries right now. Interesting!
đź§µAs we expected, or at least hoped for, Don Lemon and several others have been indicted for conspiring to and engaging in a disruption of a church service in St Paul, MN, back on January 18.
Clear violations of the clergy, staff, and parishioners 1A Rights and of the FACE Act
đź§µMeet the special prosecutor @AGPamBondi has empowered to investigate election integrity cases nationwide.
Interim United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri Thomas C. Albus

@AGPamBondi Albus was CONFIRMED to the post on Dec 18 by a vote of 53-43, so pss pss @USAO_EDMO ya'll need to update the boss's bio.
: )

@AGPamBondi @USAO_EDMO According to a report in Bloomberg, @AGPamBondi used 28 USC 515 to give Albus the "authority to conduct voter fraud probes anywhere in the US"
He can "coordinate civil and criminal cases, including grand jury proceedings, in all 94 US attorney districts."
Indycar teams, services, safety crews, Marshall’s, transport teams, mechanics, parts suppliers, etc etc etc… all the thousands of people who are required in order to make an Indycar race safely and professionally take place made their plans for 2026 a year ago. Such an upheaval of those plans and a scramble to cram in a race to a calendar that was set many months ago is going to a) piss people off, b) give people severe headaches, c) increase expenditures, and d) set up the race for embarrassment and disarray.
And that’s before we even consider the track, driver and spectator safety, tv coverage plans, radio and timing setup up, the pit setup, hospitality, bathrooms, get approvals from the governing bodies and utilities, etc etc etc.
Indycar doing a race on the east coast, in or near DC?
That’s a fantastic idea!
Forcing a race to happen with only like seven months to plan it all out, get the budgets for it, build the paddock and track, account for all the safety concerns, etc etc.
