Sounds like Mr. Ross needs to appear personally in Judge Koh’s courtroom. Oh yeah, remind him to bring a toothbrush.

The illicit activity IS the point.

Mr. Ross, she’s the boss.

Okay, first of all: I Am Not A Lawyer. Just an interested layperson.

But this:

“This October 5 date is doing exactly what I enjoined the defendants from doing,” Judge Koh said.

sounds very much to me like this:

The judge ordered that the challengers file their submissions by Wednesday 11 a.m. P.T., and that the administration file its response by Thursday night. The challengers will then have an opportunity to file a reply before a hearing is held on the matter Friday at 3 p.m. PT.

is actually saying “you have a very short time and very narrow window to explain why I should not sanction the fuck out of you very very soon. And I recommend that you bring a toothbrush to the next hearing.”

Something to keep in mind, Wilbur: if Trumpp loses the election, he will be very busy figuring out who he needs to pardon to “encourage” them not to reveal information about serious crimes he has committed. Your silence has no value to him.
