I don't know much about it, but it seems like a tactic.

Eastern time. And at about 5.30, I see on my phone J.D. Tomlinson. And I said, I was about to teach my law school class, these kids at the Cardozo Law School that take the Freedom Clinic at the Perlmutter Center for Legal Justice. They all know about the case.
