The article has this -

A federal judge slammed President Donald Trump's Department of Justice


where they quote this from Judge Douglas L. Micko -

“Here we are, months into a case that the government had an intense appetite to initiate, but cannot seem to keep up the pace when it comes to discovery obligations,” Micko wrote. “This is unacceptable.”

The Trump administration’s justice department has touted the prosecution. But on Friday, a magistrate judge overseeing the initial stages of the case chided the justice department for being slow to turn over discovery.

“Here we are, months into a case that the government had an intense appetite to initiate, but cannot seem to keep up the pace when it comes to discovery obligations,” Douglas Micko, the magistrate judge, wrote. “This is unacceptable.”


Maybe it's due to a learned habit of dealing with litigation, to always go with the "contrarian" view, but instead of parachuting in to pick apart what should be an obvious "2 + 2 = 4" reasoning when this administration's DOJ has a HISTORY of thousands of cases that have been presented with issues like this or worse, that have either been thrown out by the courts or withdrawn, it would perhaps be better for you to "add value" to your posts by actually looking for and posting news OPs about new and ongoing litigation like some of the other DU lawyers do, rather than attacking the sources of such stories.
