Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[Mathan22]

Options for judge:

What happens if the US (defense) decides they will simply not allow discovery, file protective order or request limited discovery? Since it had already been ordered and since she has already stated time and time again she is going to allow broad discovery, what happens?

Can the judge simply rule in favor or plaintiffs on lack of co operation?

Can she rule that it is obvious that lack of admissions to discovery implies guilt and one cannot force them to self incriminate hence pleading the fifth?

I'm taking US will just not provide anything so what options does the judge have at that point? How does defendants being in contempt benefit the plaintiffs?
