WithCatz: I believe that the EC has suspended their discovery efforts because they don't want to spend time or money discovering the same things that the examiner is in the process of discovering. Once the examiner's report is out, then they may reinitiate their discovery efforts looking for things they think the examiner omitted or to flesh out things in the report that the EC believes require greater detail.
i feel susman's silence is golden! believe me if he was needed in any capacity he would be there. i think that a settlement is close. when was the last time you've heard egomeister say he would settle if he was wrong? i think with 40 attorneys general "investigating" the jpm foreclosure crisis, he needs to settle something real soon so they can actually foreclose on property they actually paid for.
