Motions to Dismiss by NXIVM Defendants – 10 separate filings
I haven’t reviewed all the filings in detail yet but I did come across a very interesting statement: i.e., if Judge Garaufis does not dismiss all of the charges against all the defendants, the (remaining) defendants plan to file motions for suppression and motions for severance. What that means is that they’ll be proposing that some/all of the government’s evidence be suppressed (i.e., it can not be introduced at trial) — and they’ll be looking for several individual trials rather than one all-inclusive trial.
Given the time of year – and the likelihood that most of the pending motions will be denied (I think the court will likely order the prosecution to turn over any Brady material – and may order it to file a Bill of Particulars on some of the charges – but that’s about it) – the chances of this trial starting in March are very slim. And they’ll get even slimmer if/when the prosecution files another superseding indictment.
In all, the attorneys for the current six defendants – Keith Raniere, Allison Mack, Clare Bronfman, Nancy Salzman, Lauren Salzman, and hapless Kathy Russell – recently filed the following documents:
Motion to Dismiss by Lauren Salzman
Motion to Dismiss for Kathy Russell, Nancy Salzman & Clare Bronfman
Memorandum of Law in Support of Russell, N Salzman, & Bronfman
Declaration in Support of Motion to Dismiss by Cassidy [Bronfman atty]
Motion to Dismiss for Raniere
Agnifilo Affirmation in support of Raniere
Aginfilo Memo in Support of Raniere
Motion to Dismiss for Allison Mack
Memo of Law in Support of Mack

If the Court denies their motions to dismiss, Defendants anticipate filing motions for severance and suppression.
Stay tuned for further analysis regarding some of the motions…

Rats in a sack.
If they sever the cases, doesn't that also mean Bronfman can't be paying for Salzman's lawyer, Raniere's lawyer, etc.?
I presume everybody is already represented by their own counsel?
Kek.
The clockfag clocks don't do anything for me. I just skip em.
If they were able to state an algorithm, a system, a method, that is applied uniformly to derive their results, I might pay a little attention. I asked for an explanation long ago and never got one adequate to satisfy a software engineer's mind.
Instead, it seems that they jump around and make stuff up and use different techniques whenever they feel like it, and select associations apply to one "clock" but not to another.
I excused them for a while, thinking it might just be some kind of autism that has zero overlap with mine… but now there is a whole team of clockfags using the same non-methodology?… and surely among that group there must be a few of them who are verbal enough to explain what the hell they're doing?
This is inelegant and as unsatisfying AF.
I'm not calling them out as shills, but that may be an accurate term and I wouldn't dispute any anon that considers them shills.
Love your post, anon.
