So this is a very minor victory for the Biden administration as it tells the judge overseeing the case "look at the issue again and see if there are alternatives to putting them on the witness stand." thats it. thats the whole of it, and the judge overseeing the case is gonna go "yep, i checked, they still need to testify." So its a mute point. But you are seeing in real time with these documents that they KNOW they are in deep, deep trouble and got caught. This is like watching a wild animal try to wriggle out of a trap after eating all a farmer's livestock and being found by farmer in that trap.

They are TERRIFIED of Psaki taking the stand: they want the PLAINTIFF'S to agree to stop calling for her to testify until they literally file appeals in multiple courts all the way to the US Supreme Court. They are trying to stall it forever. The FEAR & DESPERATION to keep her off the witness stand & not under oath is so obvious.

Plaintiff's told defendants "yeah fuck right off with that. not happening."

NOTICE THIS: the Plaintiffs are being reasonable & accomodating; the Biden admin & its current/former officials are accepting no compromises at all. They are treating this like their hill to die on. They are doing everything in their power to stop ALL Biden admin officials from going on the stand under oath.

Again: like @tracybeanz pointed out, the DOCUMENTS PROVE what they said & did with respect to completely destroying/stripping the first amendment from Americans, & the testimony will blow the case open FURTHER — this is a CRIMINAL matter that could result in CRIMINAL CHARGES for these officials & many others. The reality is the on the stand testimony is crucial & will be damning, And they cant LIE on the stand because of the documents already admitted into the record. Perjury wont save them and puts them in additional jeopardy.

You can see it for yourself: the plaintiffs are being reasonable— the biden admin is stalling and doing all it can to avoid going under oath in a federal court. They know what happens if those depositions take place. They are SCARED. They should be, because the docuements already entered into evidence on the record already convict them, and the depositions will be an absolute slaughter of and prove catastrophic to the Biden Admin AND to its #BigTech allies who went hand and hand along with the destruction of and denial of American's first amendment rights.

Straight Fire. "Stop wasting everyone's time and get your ass in court and testify."

They LITERALLY just like @tracybeanz said, tried to go AROUND the trial judge and circumvent his ruling to get what they wanted. And instead BOTH times (not just once) the motions were sent back to a now VERY angry trial court judge who sees what they did and he is PISSED. They judge and court shopped and STILL failed, and now have to face the judge's wrath. Instead of owning it, they threaten him with a mandamus motion AGAIN above his court. That's not an act of strength, and it is EXTREMELY unwise..... These are acts of desperation.

So, the question now becomes, just HOW BAD & what evidence is going to come out in these depositions that the Biden Admin is literally doing all it can to stop? Imagine: how bad must the testimony coming be if they are going to these lengths to stop these depositions???????? We already know how wide spread and abusive the censorship was and that the Government outsourced the killing of the first amendment to tech and social media companies...

The Biden Admin (govt) Lawyers as well as Psaki's lawyer (Rhee) know DAMN WELL that the ONLY court with jurisdictoin is the trial court— but they are so afraid of having to testify they are going out of bounds to file for relief from the ordered subpoenaed depositions with other courts. Its wholely outside the bounds of legality and ethics but its another GIANT red flag as to how damning their testimony will be.

I mean, holy shit.....FOUR TIMES AND NOT DONE YET, trying to stop ANY attempt to put Jenn Psaki UNDER OATH on the witness stand to be deposed. That is FEAR. That tells you beyond words they have something they are DESPERATE to Hide.

"your actions speak so loudly, i cannot hear what you are saying," -Ralph Waldo Emerson

This is key: they want to blame this on lower ranking admin officials and #BigTech and use 'plausible deniability' to shield the Biden Admin from accountability and redress. It wont work.

Big Big points here:
1. four attempts to hide from testifying under oath. something big to hide.
2. trying their damnedest to wrap this up around the next of low ranking people in the #illegitimate Biden admin to avoid being held accountable. Scapegoating people, while protecting the decision makers who did this.
3. Tried, failed, and right back in the trial judge's court room.

They literally are just throwing a tantrum— they just want to avoid accountability and were hoping for an EDVA rubber stamp. It didnt come. And, they violated local rule 7.4.1 in multiple ways— essentally contempt of court.

I want to discuss this in detail: The #illegitimate Biden Admin did what they could be EXPECTED to do— they said 'we dont know anything about it and dont have any email or docs, pound sand. we arent going to incriminate ourselves FURTHER.' They basically lied and hid evidence but there's no way to compel a deeper search and force them to comply.

BUT, Karine Jean-Pierre's statement saying she can't speculate on what someone else meant in saying something isn't unreasonable, and taken with the #illegitimate Biden admin hiding documents from discovery illegally, it means the only way to get the information is out of Psaki, under oath, in deposition, sworn in on the witness stand.

THAT RIGHT THERE is WHY the deposition is so important and why the #illegitimate admin as well as Psaki are fighting so hard to stall and stop it. But the problem is, the judge has already ruled that personal inconvenience of the deposed is outweighed by the fact that 300+ Million Americans' First Amendment rights are at stake.

This paragraph shows you that legally the admin and Psaki have no leg to stand on to stop it and are trying to like hell to get an activist judge in another court to do it for them. If that happens itll go to the Supreme Court, if they chose to accept it.

"Hey, we know you're pissed we went over your head AND tried to go around you, but, please quash that order you gave for us to testify until we have exhausted all legal methods trying to go around you and circumvent your order to testify,"

The fucking CHUZTPAH & TOTAL ARROGANCE of these people!!

Asked and Answered: "no, i will NOT placate your tantrum and save you from another judge's order, especially since you dont have any legal leg to stand on. Go take it up with him."

Plaintiffs are asking the Judge to force Psaki and the Govt to pick a date between Dec 12 & Dec 19th to testify, under oath. Get your popcorn ready.
