Why do they risk defeat and pull it out of the jaws of victory? Talk about pissing the court off, but may not matter… but why risk it? Just proves the lawyer as corrupt as the Bidens….

Someone from the defense team, a lawyer later identified as Jessica Bengels from the law firm of Latham and Watkins, then contacted the clerk of the court -falsely claimed to be working with Theodore Kittila- and asked the clerk to remove the amicus filing. The clerk removed the filing.
That ALONE should warrant outright rejection of the plea and stiff sanctions for that garbage lawyer if not complete disbarment.
But we all know.. at the end of the day.. the ridiculously soft plea will be accepted and nothing else will be done. It’s just (D)ifferent.

Interesting that they submitted Ms Bengel’s explanation as a Declaration rather than a sworn Affidavit.
The only real benefit of an Affidavit over a Declaration is that the notary is supposed to confirm the identity of the person signing the document by seeing a government-issued identification card and recording information regarding that documentation. That does not really seem to be an issue here.

However, I’d really like to hear the clerk’s side of the story as well for comparison because it sounds like the clerk has a much different version.
This was going to be pretty much my exact response to the letter Hank posted.
This is usually settled with a phone call not a sanctions hearing, so I imagine the clerk has QUITE a different version of the "miscommunication".
Although, I will say the filing that was removed sounds like clown shoes on its own. What was THAT firm doing? This is shite you'd expect from me, not $1000/hour mega firms.

True, but I just found it interesting that they chose to make it a declaration rather than a sworn/notarized affidavit which typically gives the appearance of being more legitimate, even though they have the same effect, weight, and potential consequences in UDSC.

If you read the entire entry the Court was given the same reasoning that was in the letter, along with what seems like a thread (hoping that the clerk has signed an affidavit relating to the acquisitions). Then the court had its own discussions with clerk staff and put this as a hearing.
I don't know how it is in that district but the ECF clerks here are usually located elsewhere, so it's not like in state court where the clerk and judges are on more of a personal level.
The big thing I don't get is why not just file a motion to seal? Seems pretty straightforward. Why have a paralegal type contact ECF about what to do? Again, sounds like something I would do and not one of the top (and most expensive) firms in the US.

I listen. Love Cruz’s views. Can’t stand his voice. Wish he had a little Walter Cronkite or James earl jones in him. Same for RFK.

It's disgusting this shows the case is already treated as yesterday's news by the MSM.
Secondly, it shows the Dems will openly lie, cheat and steal to tilt the system in their favor and not receive any MSM coverage or any backlash. As we've seen, the hand wringing by GOP reps on Fox doesn't go anywhere.
but no way they cheat in elections!

All he does is whine. Cruz won't do crap.

They were wondering if there was some sort of temporary procedure in that Court (whether local rule, local local rule or informal procedure), to protect the information until such time as the formal motion to feel seal could be completed and filed.

They have enough.
People get admissibility and evidence confused all the time.

Hunters lawyer "accidentally" impersonated a House legal officer to get evidence against him removed. It could happen to anyone.
