24/ 🤦🏻♀️Harry Litman:
Hearing finished. Judge Ho says he will rule soon but not now. Expect a written opinion expressing some incredulity and distress at DOJ position but then permitting the dismissal without prejudice.
Klasfeld:
Ho: "I’m going to take everything you said under careful consideration. It’s not in anyone’s interest here for this to drag on. I understand that..
"To exercise my discretion properly, I’m not going to shoot from the hip here on the bench."
