Or unwillingness?
Defendant's counsel: I understand reading between the lines what your Honor is saying [about corruption in Honduras] and the alleged homicide...
[To him, maybe]
Defense: The evidence should be kept out.
Assistant US Attorney: He was in the presence of CC-4 and Owner-1 when the statements were made.
AUSA: They spurred assistance and allowed CC-4 to conduct monetary negotiations. It shows why CC-4 would have meetings about drug trafficking at Business-1
Judge Castel: Business-1 was allegedly used by the defendant to launder drug money. Was that the case when CC-4 was soliciting campaign contributions?
AUSA: Yes, Your Honor.
[JOH - to have testimony taken?]
Defense lawyer: We didn't know this was going to be part of the trial. We knew there were allegations, but...
AUSA: Corruption and violence, we identified from early in the case as relevant to the case. We made early 3500 production.
Defense: The witness known as Medro, his statements to Mr. Rivera, they are big part of the US' case. It is outrageous. Mr. Rivera made the witness unavailable by murdering him.
Judge Castel: And defendant's participation?
Defense lawyer: This is more extreme that the situation with the political corruption

Judge Castel: There are communications about Lopez Canabria. That murder was covered. So remarking about the death doesn't have much probative value.
[An aside: When shall we expect Narcos Honduras??]
This was not people discussing news reports about a murder. The Commissioner refers to being hounded by prosecutors. The Defendant wanted info about this case.
Assistant US Attorney Gutwillig: "Did it again" is not accurate. The episode with Freddy Najara was different.
Judge Castel: There is not evidence of government inducement so I'm not going to exclude the evidence at this juncture. But I'll keep an open mind.
AUSA: We've identified those statements we intend to use.
Defense lawyer: They cherry pick from my client's lengthy post arrest statement.
Defense: We've seen the new SDNY order that people will have to wear 2 masks or N-95. I'm not sure I can be heard that way.
[Note: they put the lawyers in plexiglass box]
[Inner City Press covered both of them]
"We have constructed and tested a booth with a HEPA filter. You will only wear a mask when at counsel table.

Funny, before the election I recall lefties muttering the caravan must have been a Trump setup because it made the open borders crowd look so bad. Why would the pro-migrant crowd engineer a crisis that played into Trump's hands? THIS is why. THESE are the "optics" they wanted.
This media manipulation effort was inspired by the success of the "kids in cages" freakout, a 100% Stalinist propaganda drive that required people to forget about Obama putting migrant children in cells. It worked, so now they want pics of Trump "gassing children on the border."
There's a heavy air of Pallywood around the whole thing as well. If the Palestinians can stage huge theatrical performances of victimhood with the willing cooperation of Western media, why shouldn't the migrant caravan organizers expect the same?
It's business as usual for Anarchy, Inc. - the worldwide shredding of national sovereignty to increase the power of transnational organizations and left-wing ideology. Many in the media are true believers. Others just cannot resist the narrative of "change" and "social justice."
The product sold by Anarchy, Inc. is victimhood. It always boils down to the same formula: once the existing order can be painted as oppressors and children as their victims, chaos wins and order loses. Look at the lefties shrieking in unison about "Trump gassing children" today.
Funny there are those who think these migrant caravans were a FANTASTIC idea that's going to take the immigration issue away from you.

Like several weeks watching a rampaging horde storm the fences & throw rocks at our border patrol agents & getting gassed = great optics!
