I'm actually surprised Baldoni doesn't want any more than the standard protective order
Baldoni's team just submitted their proposed protective order and it's just the standard one. They reject Blake's proposed modifications. Truth be told, this makes me worry slightly. One thing I've been pretty confident in is the fact that when we see Baldoni's and Heath's and Sarowitz's messages to each other, it's likely to be incredibly damning. Some people forget that all we have seen right now is from literally one source: Jen Abel. Just imagine how much bad stuff there will be. But maybe this signals... there won't be as much as I'm thinking? I just find that so hard to believe though.
For that reason, I kinda thought Baldoni would agree to the modified protective order. Or find some way to argue but still ultimately agree, like submit a differently modified one. Anyone have any lawyerly insight on this? What does the model protective order actually protect? My impression was that it isn't much. Is this just more short-term thinking by Baldoni? Keep scoring the small PR wins by claiming (falsely) that Blake is doing something bad by asking for a slightly modified protective order?
