This has been pointed out, but it also just makes no sense. If Smith had been in Atlanta for a basketball game the day after Willis and Wade acknowledged a personal relationship, so what?

Judge Nichols seems to have finally woken up to the abuse of the court system going on right in front of him in Dominion v. Byrne.

MINUTE ORDER. Upon consideration of Defendant's 166 Motion to Set Aside, and the entire record in this case, it is hereby ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED as frivolous and an abuse of the court system. Both the 79 Amended Protective Order currently in force and the original 46 Protective Order -- which Defendant himself joined in moving for 45 -- explicitly contemplate the possibility of someone being served with an outside subpoena for the production of confidential discovery material from this case and require any person receiving such a subpoena to object to it (see para. 26 of either protective order). Consequently, the issuance of such a subpoena cannot constitute the "good cause" required to amend or set aside the protective order. The Court also notes that Plaintiff and his counsel have repeatedly and flagrantly violated the protective order throughout this litigation. See, e.g., 126 . So ORDERED by Judge Carl J. Nichols on 09/29/2026. (lccjn2)

"On Tuesday, the full D.C. Circuit will hear argument in a case that began on a Saturday evening in March 2025, when a federal judge ordered two planeloads of Venezuelan men returned to the United States and the administration, hours later, handed them to a prison in El Salvador instead."

"Major incident", but the suspected terrorists have been released on bail. What?

Releases at odds with major incident declared

Frank Gardner
Security correspondent

Up and down the country the word "What?!" is probably being mouthed in incredulity.

The announcement this afternoon by the head of Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) that all five men arrested outside RAF Fairford airbase early on Sunday are to be released on bail sits at odds with our being told this was a "major incident" and talk of disaster averted.

The men, all young UK nationals from London, are still under investigation. But the fact they are no longer in custody dramatically reduces the scale of how big or how dangerous a plot this was alleged to be.

So what were they doing? Dressed in balaclavas and turning up in vans in the dead of night close to the perimeter of one of the most sensitive military sites in the country, then fleeing on being spotted by a vigilant member of the public, are actions bound to attract suspicion.

The fact that a Cobra national security meeting has been convened to discuss this incident shows it is being taken extremely seriously by the government.

And yet now, as it stands on Monday afternoon, it leaves us with more questions than answers.

It’s not unusual for a wartime president to ease up before a domestic election but usually they’re smart enough not to announce that it’ll start again as soon as the voting’s done.
