Gregory Bovino's deposition -- of five hours. . . is up, tomorrow. It will take place inside the Dirksen Building. But there is (as ever!) a Bovino created. . . wrinkle: he is, and has been. . . thwarting discovery orders.
Now, to cross examine him effectively -- about whether these ops in the gassing and pepper bullet-firing "incidents" were lawful, the footage from officers' body cams is critical. The guy is. . . a lil' monster -- and mobster, effectively.
The depo may need to be delayed, and his team sanctioned, by Judge Ellis for trying their case in the press, rather than in the courts.
These are government actions, and his counsel should be telling him that he is violating the law here (in any sane world). But this is not a sane world, at the moment. Here's the just filed motion to compel from Headline Club Chicago (a lead plaintiff):
. . .Defendant DHS also posted on their official X account, @DHSgov, at 10:00 am yesterday, a five-minute video montage of the October 23, 2025 incident.
Defendants’ social media post includes what appears to be body worn camera video footage, as well as drone footage from the October 23rd incident in Little Village. . . .
It is clear that Defendants have been able to collect, review, and edit video footage responsive to Plaintiffs’ expedited discovery requests and yet have not produced any video to Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs emailed Defendants’ counsel regarding their deficiency in producing the responsive video footage, but they have not received a substantive response. Exhibit A (10/27/25 Email Correspondence) at 3. While the Court has given Defendants until the end of the day on Friday to provide certain evidence, and while Plaintiffs have agreed to give Defendants until the end of the day on Friday to complete their expedited productions, Defendants should be producing documents to Plaintiffs on a rolling basis, including video footage of the incidents. . . .
Plaintiffs seek the Court to order production of any and all video footage responsive to Plaintiffs’ requests for production, but at a minimum, the video footage for the October 23 incident in Little Village by 7pm CST today. . . .
This is an old fashioned. . . monster show. And, Bovino. . . is leading the monsters. He should deliver by 7 pm today, after his 6 pm daily "under oath" examination, with Judge Ellis -- also in the Dirksen Building. She should now order it. Damn.
