Trump lawyers denied extension for responding to DOJ's protective order .
.
1. Prosecution (P) wants to give Defense (D) all of their materials ASAP. That requires a Protective Order to be in place before disclosure.
2. On Friday, Prosecution requested a PROTECTIVE ORDER almost identical to the protective order that was approved by the P and D attorneys and Judge Cannon in the Mar-A-Lago case.
3. Judge Chutkan gave D until Mon 5 PM to respond to / comment on P's request.
4. D spent Saturday writing up a request for an extension to file until Thursday.
5. Chutkan denied D's request and holds them to the 5 PM M deadline. THAT is what Judge C "ruled against," D's motion for extension (delay).
.
By their filing, D claimed that they need all of Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thurs to respond to P's Protective Order and to submit their response on Thurs. Having been denied, D must now squeeze 6 days of work (billable hours; Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs) into just 3 days (Sat, Sun, Mon)!!! Instead of actually working on their reply to P's Protective Order, THEY ARE MAKING THE ROUNDS ON ALL THE TALK SHOWS and NOT working on the reply that they claimed they need 6 days of work to complete. I.e., get OFF the talk shows and get on your computers and prepare your response!!! Either that, or it really doesn't take 6 days to respond to a routine (almost identical to the Mar-A-Lago) protective order. (They'll probably overbill Trump's PAC -- and the MAGA who donate to it -- anyway.)
.
We'll see if the Defense makes their 5 PM deadline today (Mon) or if they will spend their day complaining on Fox and OAN.

Re: Not to mention it's a REALLY bad idea (Not Really)
Not really. The judge had already ruled against that motion.
I want Trump to take a competency exam. He will brag, "I got all correct except the RINO question, but that one's really hard. It's the hardest question. Not every test has the RINO. Some have an elephant which is a very easy question. Very few people get the RINO correct. The horns are really small in the picture so it doesn't look like a real RINO. And it's the same size as the lion. A real RINO is much bigger than a lion, 10 times bigger, maybe 20 times bigger, so a lot of people -- even very smart people -- get that one wrong. I got 100% right except for the RINO."
