MB CIVIL SUIT UPDATE #10 K’s Request to Adjourn (delay) DENIED 11/01/22

Same! My brain is looking at this like we never learned any to begin with.

That is not what is going on here. Graham and the Washington Post were fighting a First Amendment issue. The persons affected were reporters. Not a lying heroin addict’s mommy.

What is going on here is more like someone who has been caught downloading illegal images and when arrested states, “I was INVESTIGATING it!”

LK & Seeker have bragged about the transcripts and there is no confidential source. There are likely extremely illegal recordings.

ETA:

PLUS Graham/WaPo fought it in court. They didn’t just sit back and ignore the subpoena.

WASHINGTON, March 21—The United States District Court for the District of Columbia blocked today efforts by President Nixon’s campaign organszation to compel 10 reporters and news executives to turn over notes and other unpublished material in the Watergate case.

Judge Charles R. Richey, acting on First Amendment grounds, quashed subpoenas served on representatives of four news organizations by the Committee for the Re‐election of the President.

“This court cannot blind itself to the possible chilling effect the enforcement of … these subpoenas would have on the press and the public,” Judge Richey said in an oral opinion immediately after oral arguments on the issue this afternoon.

Weren’t you subpoenaed during Watergate for your sources?

Yes. … There was a civil suit brought by the Nixon re-election committee against the Democratic National Committee for the purpose of trying to find out how they were getting their information to us, among other things. …

[When we] knew that the subpoena had reached the building, I went to then-executive editor of The Washington Post [Ben] Bradlee, and I said, “Look, I just got a call from the guard downstairs that there’s a subpoena with a piece of paper with my name on it.” And he said, “Look, go see a movie while we figure out what to do.”

So I went to see a movie; in fact, the movie I saw was Deep Throat. I came back to the office, and by then the strategy had been gone over with the lawyers. Our notes, my notes, were transferred to the custody of Katharine Graham, the publisher of The Washington Post . Therefore, if anybody was going to go to jail, she was going to go also. As Bradlee said: “Wouldn’t that be something? Every photographer in town would be down at the courthouse to look at our girl going off to the slam.” And Mrs. Graham was ready to go to jail because she understood the principle. I accepted the subpoena, because by then, the custody of my notes had been transferred to Katharine Graham.

Here Morgan, let me add to that for you, my addition in italics and bold above.

I think I get what you were going for, but even I, who knows next to nothing about the legal system, realizes this is not an apt comparison. In fact, I believe @trubandloki said it best:

Since we are playing show off your Latin, I had a t-shirt made that says, “Equito ergo sum.” :kissing_heart:

Wow! After seeing so many quick responses to this hidden post, I had to take a look!!

Are you grasping much??? Katharine Graham? What a stretch!!! Let’s liken it to the ex-president who, apparently like Mr & Mrs Kanarek, believe he is above the law and does not respond to subpoenas.

Was it really necessary to toss politics in again? I mean, we were having fun and poof, someone had to ruin it with politics. CE is available to bash any politician you want to bash, really!

What a perfect way to start sowing the seeds of doubt about Michael and his reputation! If anyone thinks these rumors weren’t started by LK, and fed to KK to be repeated and perpetuated, you must have forgotten about LK 37D Chess Master.

It is like a bad game of telephone, and Michael’s alleged behavior gets worse every time it is passed down the line. Which is exactly what LK was trying to make happen.

And @eggbutt is 100% correct. If I started signing my posts “FINISH THE BITCH”, LK’s collective hive would flag every post in an attempt to get me banned. But, every excuse in the world has been made for LK saying “FINISH THE BASTARD”!

Just remember, “FINISH THE BASTARD” was the precursor to all the events that afternoon! If that does not tell you who the aggressor was, well, bless your heart!

@trubandloki, again it isn’t bringing politics into anything by making a comparison between the two persons. Politics has absolutely nothing to do with it! A very famous person refuses to comply with subpoenas just as the Kanareks do.

For those on twitter, have there been anymore claims of lawsuits against 48 hours?

More seriously, those subpoenas look like fishing expeditions to try and find potentially harmful information to Lauren from individuals not named in the lawsuit.
It would be like subpoenas of emails, texts and other communication between Eggbutt and Lara Osborne or Eggbutt and Susan Wachowich to find harmful information about Barisone.

The former track vet at our local STB track used to do cat neuter clinics on nights she was working, in her office. It wasn’t unusual to see people lugging cat crates into the backstretch every couple of months. I miss her! She was a great horse vet, but decides to switch to small animal practice.

Oh look, proof that someone didn’t read the filings or watch the trial. If they had, they would have known that SGF has said they have already received the texts. The damaging plot has already been revealed. The subpoena by SGF is just looking to firm up their record. I think we can safely ignore the people who can’t be bothered to get the facts straight.

Oh but… (There has to be an oh but, right?)
The lawyers asking for the information have given the courts proof with reasons why these are not fishing expeditions. What connects this information with the other information they already have.

Add, Lauren Kanarek herself responded when asked for information that they should go get it themselves.
You can’t have it both ways. You can’t say that the person looking for evidence can not ask others after telling them to go ask others.

So tell me, what good reason do you have for Kirby Kanarek not handing over the transcripts of the illegal recordings that she and her daughter have claimed to have sent lots of other places?

Remember when seeker1 falsely accused MB of assaulting a police officer (he was never convicted of the charge which was proven), and said he purposely drank bleach water at the Pan AM games?

There was a news article explaining the bleach water incident. One of the maids at the hotel left a drinking bottle with bleach in it for cleaning. It wasn’t labeled and MB came back to the room and accidentally drank it thinking it was a regular water bottle. Who on earth drinks bleach water as a competitive advantage? Or on purpose?

And what does MB have to do with Adeline Cornelissan? She is on the Dutch dressage team and lives in Holland. MB wouldn’t have trained or worked with Parzival.

KK is straight delusional IMO.
