No lawyer haves access to the documents because it’s a secret investigation.

Doesn’t matter. They just need enough to show it’s illegal—presumably that can be done given a lot of people are concluding it. Actually, scratch that. They just need to show up.
Both sides in this are being performatively dramatic. It makes the judge look tough on us imperial Americans. It makes Elon look tough on woke censorship. Win-win.
Wouldn’t sending a Brazilian lawyer to make this claim as X’s representative be the correct move? Not ignoring the court?
There is a massive difference between e.g. a U.S. district court issuing an illegal order and someone appealing for a stay and the same order being issued and the subject doing nothing.
