Wtf did Barbara Jones give Cohen's attorneys 10 more days??!!

[triron]

Damn her.

1. It's a lot of stuff to go through.....right? nt

2. It was a Stall tactic, because that's how they play the game. His Attys quit when it

neard the deadline. New Attys came in to handle the case. Knowing they would be granted time to review the many many pages of docs.

She has no choice but to play fairly by the law. Even if the stall tactic was obvious to everyone.

[gratuitous]

3. There are literally millions of items to review

Extensions in matters like this are routinely requested, and routinely granted. Denying the extension would raise an issue of whether the judge had abused her discretion in adhering to the original deadline, and Cohen's attorneys would surely not be shy about freezing the proceedings by filing an appeal of the denial of the extension.

By all accounts, Cohen's present attorneys are looking to withdraw from representation, but they know that they are going to be required to complete tasks in progress so as not to prejudice their client. Judge Jones probably figured that they are highly motivated to finish the privilege review of the items taken by the FBI pursuant to the search warrants, and an additional 10 days isn't that big a deal in the scheme of things.

4. Take some comfort in knowing

This means Cohen will be at least 5 million dollars poorer...

[mythology]

5. Because it would be a likely successful appeal?

What exactly do you think would have been accomplished by not granting the delay that wouldn't be available because of the delay?

6. The more that they stall the better

It will keep the spotlight on right into the next election cycle. Just another detail that will be harder to forget and sweep under the rug. Shine On.

7. Because one should have proper time to prepare when....

When the government comes knocking.

People need to watch how they view things just because they don't like someone.
