Thursday morning felt like we were seeing something we weren't supposed to be seeing…   Sean Combs is sitting in his normal spot and the entire defense team fall into formation like soldiers at attention. They make a human force field as they huddle around Sean Combs. Is this a pep talk? What's happening? Through the cracks we can see, Sean Combs, absolutely livid. They stay like that until Father Arun, aka Judge Arun calls for a sidebar in the robing room. Lead counsel, Father Arun, and the court reporter disappear behind the door for 20 mins. Then 30 mins. It’s an hour into the morning and we have yet to start the actual court proceedings - nor can we hear anything that’s going on inside the robing room. Usually the rumors will come and go in the press pews - there’s not that many to go around.But everything about this Thursday is different. With nothing else to do - the press are whispering - ‘Did you hear?’ ‘I don’t know if it’s true’‘Kanye West is trying to get into the courthouse’‘I heard he’s here to support Diddy’ But this doesn’t make sense because why would Diddy be so viscerally angry to the point that his entire team has to block our view of him? Wouldn’t he want his friend supporting him? Is this why the attorneys have spent so long in the robing room? It all seems a lot deeper than that. Perhaps even darker. A lot of people start to speculate that Kanye might be the Feds next target - he might be who they’re coming after next.   Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com
