Summary
This week: the grand jury transcripts from the Broadview Six case show an array of embarrassing misconduct by AUSAs from the office of the US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. As Ken describes, these are things that AUSAs are very clearly taught not to do. And yet. Also this week: a couple of new flavors of AI hallucination trouble in the courts; Donald Trump’s legal team that’s suing the BBC for him isn’t doing such a good job ; Matt Taibbi filed another dumb lawsuit and lost ; Ken Paxton’s old lawyer endorses against him (unethical or just imprudent?); the Trump-Kennedy Center lost a lawsuit against a performer who canceled a scheduled performance; two ways being a mess can sometimes help you in court; and Judge Richard! Leon! says there’s no Trump slush fund to enjoin, for now! But he will keep watching! So don’t try any funny business! No paywall in this episode; it is available to all subscribers.
