I believe that SG are strategists and that although they are not moving at a New Yorker's idea of comfortable pace, they are very smart in their approach. I realize that slow is torture for a city dweller such as yourself but I do believe you believe in SG as much as we do. Breathe in / Breathe out.

Please don't misunderstand me. I believe Susman&Co. to be absolutely terrific attorneys. We are fortunate to have convinced them to represent our interests. HOWEVER, they are human beings, and therefore subject to fallibility. With respect to the IT issue, they are cutting matters very close. We are rapidly running out of time, and now they must, once again, go and ask for something critically important from Walrath ... who has demonstrated that she can not always be depended upon to be ... lucid.
Thus, their PRIOR inaction has NOW put them (perhaps needlessly) in a zone of danger. Earlier, I had hoped to reserve my nail-biting moments to confirmation, and not something that might or might not happen this week.

William,
This request, like the one previously submitted for Aurelius last week was made subsequent to the depositions. In this particular case the depositions took place Thursday & Friday June 23rd & 24th.
SG makes this point very clear that information from the depositions lead to the need to request the additional information. The information also seems like a no brainer to make the IT case.
I personally can't see Mary declining this request for two reasons. One, I believe she still wants to see a true global settlement (as do all on-lookers in positions of power). Two, the public is clamoring for someone to hang the financial crisis on and the HF are prime targets. If a couple of HF bite the dust that won't damage the financial markets in near the way taking down a major financial institution would.
Also, if SG isn't given enough time to conduct his investigation or reasonable requests are denied this only gives him more ammunition in a subsequent appeal. In a case such as this, whichever side loses will most certainly appeal. This is another reason a settlement is the best outcome for everyone. No judge likes to have their decisions appeals when possible.
Relax, we're in good hands! SG will have every opportunity to present his case, much as BR has had every opportunity to build his case.

William48, settle down and do not bite your nails as there is no need for that. Susman already has the evidence on insider trading as that was the easy part. I think the reason he wants even more information is to nail Rosie and the firm of Weasel/Gotcha/Mangle plus JPM. Keep in mind by JPM/FDIC forcing the Horsies into being deposed due to no settlement, they effectively threw Weasel/Gotch/Mangle under the bus also.
Most people know that Rosie was involved with the Horsies from day one and is also guilty and even more so, since he is an attorney. I look for Rosie to pull WMI out of the G.S any hour now, as it is now his time for loss of standing in society, loss of license and prison time. His buddies in prison will need some attorney representation from future rape and murder charges that will happen from their prison, so it is only fitting that Rosie be there and available!
