Writing mad from my phone, so sorry about the too brief diary.
Now we know who leaked the video and audio of proffers in what is turning out to be one of the best cases against against the former guy.
The lawyer of one of his co-conspirator’s has admitted leaking testimony to the media, showing no respect for due process in an actual court, rather than the court of public opinion:
Misty Hampton's lawyer admits to releasing Trump plea bargain videos

Published: Nov. 15, 2023ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Jonathan Miller, the attorney representing Misty Hampton in Donald Trump’s historic racketeering trial in Atlanta, admitted Wednesday afternoon he leaked videos to one national media outlet.
Miller made the admission during a hearing held by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee. The hearing came as a result of Fulton County DA Fani Willis’ emergency motion that requested the court to issue a protective order that would stop any further publicization of evidence.
Willis’ motion came after several national and local media outlets reported on videotaped conversations from Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Scott Hall and Kenneth Chesebro, that, according to CNN, were part of the plea deals they arranged with Willis’ office.
“In being transparent with the court and to make sure no one else gets blamed for this, and so I can go to sleep tonight, I did release those videos to one outlet,” Miller said.

A Georgia judge said Wednesday he will issue a protective order barring the public release of sensitive evidence exchanged between prosecutors and lawyers representing former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants in their election interference criminal cases in that state.
“Until we decide what’s going to be relevant and admissible, this case should be tried and not in the court of public opinion,” said Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee at a hearing on the proposed order.
The order was sought by prosecutors, and agreed to by most of the defense teams on Wednesday, after the leak this week to media outlets of videos containing confidential interviews four co-defendants, among them the attorneys Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, gave prosecutors as part of their agreements to plead guilty.
At Wednesday’s hearing, the attorney Jonathan Miller, who is representing the defendant Misty Hampton, told McAfee that he gave the videos to “one media outlet.” He did not say which one.
