Busy times for the Justice Dept due to Trump stuff….
Busy time for other lawyers. also….
The below is a bit complicated….
It’s NOT just about the Smith lawyer…..
“A federal judge on Thursday upbraided special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecutors — who may be on the verge of indicting former President Donald Trump — for causing a delay in an unrelated hearing in a Jan. 6 criminal case,” Politico reports.
“U.S. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden sent a U.S. marshal to summon Smith’s prosecutors from the grand jury room — where they were grilling a Trump-connected witness — to his courtroom Thursday afternoon.”
“That led to a bizarre scene in which Thomas Windom, a leading prosecutor on Smith’s team investigating Trump’s effort to subvert the 2020 election, marched down the courthouse hallway and filed into McFadden’s courtroom during the ongoing Jan. 6 proceeding, a lengthy bench trial verdict for Federico Klein and Steven Cappuccio, who stand accused of violence toward Capitol Police.”
Note….
The media is playing this agaisnt the Justice Dept lawyer…..

The Justice Dept. lawyer, Windom, who was late for a verdict from the judge, went BACK to the grand jury in a few minutes….
The Jan. 6 guy’s lawyer, who is reping several other Jan. 6 defendants, and was late himself and got questioned on why. and was told ok…
