Yes, they're taking a gamble that this doesn't backfire on DOJ, further tying their arms.
DOJ is supposed to be done next Wednesday.
I plan on attending the courtroom next Tuesday. Will plan on jumpseating up on Mon, returning Tues afternoon on either B6 or NK. I will post my perceptions of the trial, especially focusing on the Judge's comments because he's the most important person in the room.
