Same goes for witness questioning. I would be surprised if anything came out implicating Wade in any wrongdoing. I doubt the judge will just give the defense a free-for-all and allow them to grill witnesses about unrelated matters.

Agreed. Don't see how they defendants actually get Wade on the stand. The are trying to use Wade's testimony to tell an everybody does it voluntarily narrative, but that's not a defense to these crimes, so it's irrelevant.

Agreed. I've been saying as much since the announcement of the subpoena. Regardless of what new leaks have occurred since, that doesn't change whether or not any of it is relevant to the criminal proceedings. If they are not on trial for bribing Will Wade, I have no idea how they plan on asserting his conversations with Dawkins are relevant to the defense of the underlying charges. Anyone can be issued a subpoena, but that doesn't mean his testimony will follow through without objection. I am curious as to the scheduling order as it pertains to pre-trial Motions. I've said I'd expect to see a Motion to Quash Wade's subpoena filed by the federal prosecutors or Wade's attorneys, but I guess we'll see on that end.
But you're absolutely right, a federal judge isn't going to allow his courtroom and these proceedings turn into a circus like the defense wants. It's just not the proper forum and judges don't typically allow that to happen.
