To recap: this hearing has been very contentious. DOJ's Stanely Woodward is being obstinate. Judge Reyes is quite obviously angry because she's pretty sure she's being lied to repeatedly. She started the hearing by quoting from the rules of professional conduct, specifically the duty of candor.

Not everyone is like this, but some people don't get loud when they are enraged, they get really terrifyingly quiet. In my opinion, that's the kind of quiet Judge Reyes was wearing when she abruptly said "we're taking a 15 minute break" just then.

Judge Reyes is stunned. "Are you kidding me right now? Come on." JR: no one at DOJ or DOI thought that at a hearing about whether a plan existed they should disclose that there was a plan in the works? Woodward: deliberative process privilege.

Woodward doesn't want to answer a question about a prior representation. Judge Reyes says, fine, we'll take a break so you can look at the transcript. Now on break until 12:30.
