Out like a lion: The Tipline for 10 March 2022

Judge Amit Mehta’s March is going to go out the same way it came in: like a lion. The judge on the US District Court for the District of Columbia is presiding over cases alleging a seditious conspiracy to stop the certification of the electoral colleges and one seeking to hold former President Donald Trump liable for provoking an insurrection. The Department of Justice and Google are not making things any easier for Judge Mehta and his clerks as they continue to quarrel over discovery related to one of the biggest antitrust cases in recent memory.
