    The conclusion sums it up nicely enough:

    The Government has proposed a standard, reasonable order that will streamline the flow of discovery to the defendant while preserving the integrity of these proceedings. The defendant has proposed an unreasonable order to facilitate his plan to litigate this case in the media, to the detriment of litigating this case in the courtroom. Normal order should prevail. No oral argument is necessary. The Court should enter the Government’s proposed protective order.

        Why? Because Trump and his lawyers want to create a media circus around the trial, which would also potentially allow them to influence jurors. They are not under oath in the media and can spin things however they want. This makes clear why we’re not going to be playing that game.
