  Alex Oh worked for a law firm which represents Exxon. That law firm was accused of obstructing a deposition to avoid providing answers to the other side. [1] >ORDERS defense counsel to show cause by May 14, 2021 why sanctions should not be imposed under Rule 11 (b)(3) for alleging that plaintiffs' counsel was agitated, disrespectful, and unhinged during the deposition despite a lack of record evidence supporting those allegations. See Mem. Op. 29-31. >ORDERS defendants to serve a copy of this order on Ms. Oh. Was Alex Oh specifically responsible for this conduct? The order doesn't say. What does this have to do with Clinton? Nothing, except in a six-degrees-of-kevin-bacon sense.

    He was senior enough to share the blame because was more likely aware if not involved.

  Melissa Hodgman is Peter Strozk's wife. Peter was (is??) the FBI-counter-intel agent notorious for his work on "Crossfire Hurricane," the Hillary Clinton email server, the "lying to the FBI" charges against Michael Flynn, and the questionable representations made repeatedly by the FBI to the FISA court.

        No, the far-left actually distrusts the FBI and intelligence agencies (it always has since at least Vietnam) and called out Russiagate as a mostly fabricated distraction from the evils of neoliberalism and globalization. It's the centrists who promote hate against Russia and China. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WRoTGlQ4JMA https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WRoTGlQ4JMA

    jeez.. apparently this is all true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Strzok https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Strzok I am surprised that someone married to this person is acting as a high-ranking official in the executive branch of government controlled by the Democratic party

      Hodgman has been at the SEC for years, that's not a partisan position. And she held the same office under Trump.

The case in question is an important one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doe_v._Exxon_Mobil_Corp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doe_v._Exxon_Mobil_Corp.

    i think microsoft started the trend of link-ifying URLs in outlook text emails reader and excluding .,)] after that started, every PM/exec just want it to work like it works everywhere-else. Everywhere-else being their corporate email client, and then it comes full circle and indeed does work like that everywhere.

      Let’s see if this works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doe_v._Exxon_Mobil_Corp%2E https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doe_v._Exxon_Mobil_Corp%2E Yes! You can work around the issue by encoding the trailing dot as %2E. And in Outlook you can enclose URLs in <…> delimiters.

      HN's primitive URL parsing definitely doesn't derive from Microsoft :) I did some work on it last year to take care of the worst omissions, and angle brackets should also now work to demark tricky URLs but there are still some edge cases. For example, <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doe_v._Exxon_Mobil_Corp. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doe_v._Exxon_Mobil_Corp.> should work, but doesn't (yet!) Edit: now it does. So should these: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A*> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Weinberg#"Don't_trust_anyone_over_30" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Weinberg#"Don't_trust_any...> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Northern_Railway_(U.S.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Northern_Railway_(U.S.)> <https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#isFromMockProvider() https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Loc...> They are all cases of URLs that don't get picked up correctly by HN's current parser. At least now they work with angle brackets.
