Little Johnny Durham and his clown hack prosecutor Andrew DeFilippis both get their knuckles rapped ... only this time it wasn't by the nuns ... it was by a Federal judge:
There is more to the story than what you highlighted. A significant paragraph is:
"Cooper stopped short of granting Sussmann’s motion to strike the information altogether from the docket. He noted that much of it would likely have come out anyway, either in pretrial motions or at a trial in the case."
Also, the judge said, “I extend a presumption of good faith to all counsel, especially government counsel, ...”
If this judge, who has the eagle-eye view over the case, is willing to extend a presumption of good faith to all counsel, I am too. According to the story, the judge gave DeFilippis the chance to modify his filing, DeFilippis declined, and the judge accepted that. This whole episode seems like a minor dust-up, which will become pretty much meaningless as the case proceeds.
