COURTHOUSE,
Jan 27 – At 4:30 pm on
September 16 Inner City Press
was told by its SDNY source to
expect "the big one" - Sean
Combs - the next day in the
courtroom here.
At US Attorney
Damian Williams' press
conference Inner City Press
asked if his office would be
seeking detention - Yes, he
said. Detention memo on
Patreon here.

On December 16,
in the run-up to the December
18 conference, letter on
Patreon here.
Inner City Press
live tweeted the December 18
conference, thread here.
On December 30
Combs' lawyers reiterated
their request for a Kastigar
hearing, arguing that not only
the fruits of the search by
their derivatives too much be
excluded.
On January 3
Judge Subramanian asked for
more information by January
17.
On January 14
Combs' lawyers filed a motion
about the protective order,
arguing that "attorney
eyes only" videos in the case
they say prove the prosecution
is "sexist and puritanical"
and that it is consensual - 7

On January 17 the
US responded to Judge
Subramanian, including that
"Investigator-1 provided a
high-level overview of the
contents of the BOP Notes,
including the defendant’s
plans to discredit possible
witnesses and find dirt on
people."
On January 24
Combs' lawyer replied, letter
on Patreon here.
On January 27,
the US sur-replied that Combs'
"Fourth Amendment claim
regarding the MDC Sweep is
moot because the Government
will not seek to offer the
defendant’s notes photographed
by Investigator-1 or any
“fruits” of those notes in its
prosecution of the defendant"
