Bickering over Bovino: Lawyers swap complaints of obstruction, 'sandbagging' during deposition

Ugh, can you even believe how unprofessional that lawyer was?! 😩 I mean, I get that the hearing was already super tense and all, but interrupting the judge like that? That's just not okay, you know? 🙅‍♂️ And what's with Sarmad Khojasteh feeling "sandbagged" and getting all defensive? It seems like he should've been more prepared for the questions 😒. On the other hand, I feel bad for Judge Ellis having to deal with that kind of disrespect in her own courtroom 🤦‍♀️. Anyway, this whole thing just shows how intense and complicated it is when you're dealing with issues like press freedom and government accountability 💥.
 
🤯 I am literally fuming right now just thinking about what happened during that deposition hearing!!! It's all about who gets to control the narrative here... Sarmad Khojasteh is basically whining like a baby when his team didn't prepare him for some questions, and then he has the nerve to call it out on the judge?! Meanwhile, Bovino's team is just playing dumb and refusing to answer certain questions? It's all so grossly unprofessional... And can we talk about Judge Ellis for a second? She's literally calling out Khojasteh's behavior and telling him to respect her office, but what's with the sass? Like, I get it, she's frustrated, but did she have to throw shade at him too?! Ugh, this whole thing just reeks of gamesmanship...
 
🤯 I'm so done with lawyers being all like "I feel sandbagged" 🙄 like that's even a thing you can say in court?! Can't they just stick to the facts? 😒 The whole thing sounds super frustrating, especially when it comes down to body-worn camera footage. It's gotta be really hard for the judge to deal with all the interruptions and disrespect 💁‍♀️ Judge Ellis sounds like a total rockstar for keeping those lawyers in line 👏
 
🚨 This whole thing just feels like a total mess 🤯... I mean, come on! A US Border Patrol commander gets sandbagged by lawyers during his deposition and everyone's just standing around? 🙄 It's not exactly what you'd call 'productive' discussion.

And can we talk about Judge Ellis for a second? 🙌 She was right to call out that lawyer Khojasteh on his behavior, but I feel like she should've taken it a step further and addressed the fact that Bovino wasn't properly prepared for those questions in the first place. 🤔

I'm not saying anyone's off the hook here, but this whole 'Operation Midway Blitz' thing just seems really shady to me... Like, what were they even trying to hide? 💡
 
I gotta say, it's wild to see how quickly emotions can escalate in situations like this... Like, I get that people are passionate about their positions, but isn't there a way to address concerns without throwing shade at each other? 🤔 The judge was pretty clear about what she expected from the lawyers, and yet they still managed to get all heated. It's almost like they were more concerned with "winning" the argument than actually having a productive conversation... 🙄 And can we talk for a sec about how this whole thing says something about our society? Are we really at a point where people feel the need to yell and interrupt others in order to make their point heard? It's like, isn't there room for nuance and empathy in these kinds of situations?
