““Defendants shall only have access to Discovery Materials under the direct supervision of Defense Counsel or a member of Defense Counsel’s staff. Defendants shall not retain copies of Discovery Material,” Reinhart added.”
Abjectly criminal. Discovery is releasing the evidence to the defendant. The defendant’s lawyer is a staff member working FOR the defendant, not his supervisor. Suppose the defendant wants to stay up all night reading the evidence for his next meeting with the lawyer?
And then, how does this magistrate judge set the evidence rules for the courtroom of a Federal District Judge?
Justice Thomas will soon be involved.
And do you think that Justice Thomas will say it is okay to simply release the content of these previously and potentially still classified documents? And what if he gets that say and he confirms the magistrate's ruling, what then? I seriously doubt any Supreme Court justice is going to order the content of these documents released when the content is not what the charges are about.
