I read somewhere a slightly different version, but basically the same thing. I read that the DOJ xeroxed some docs with post-it notes accidently still still attached to them which had incorrect dates on them This was explained by the DOJ to the judge a couple of weeks ago. It seems that the judge is just doing this just to be a jerk and/or delay things.

I think he is both.
