Snipped by me
Ah, Paintr, I so agree. I wish I could share the excitement here about seeming "gotcha" moments, but what we're actually watching is just a pre-trial dance like an 18th century minuet--where both sides perform slow, predictable, obligatory, formal moves in front of the judge. The only possible outcome of this "minuet" is for both sides to maintain their positions--and stay in the other side's way--before the music ends and the trial begins. Periodically, ill-bred members of both sides may snigger and point and laugh at each other when a dancer stumbles over a step, but it's actually considered bad manners and doesn't influence the judge favorably or affect the dance at all. IMO
ITA. The Defense will dribble some inconsequential discovery just to be compliant and be seen to be playing ball but they will delay and drag their feet and hold what they can back. Our tax dollars at work as they play slow motion chess. This was the first CHECK of many to come.
