You can't hide behind publicly available documents. That's the point.

But, the answer is that to the best of my knowledge GME contacted DRASSM.
Yes GME did, in 2015 or early 2016 for the reason of trying to work with France IN case it was a French shipwreck, ( to date never proven) But the State did contact France in 2016 and had meetings with France about working the shipwrecks (being partners) together without GME knowledge, ( The 11th Circuit court said France and the State of Florida Collaborated w/o GMEs knowledge ) before the Judge in Admiralty court said it was a French ship, like a year before or more (not Military, just belonged to France with Out proof) so yes the State did contact France to work around GME and yes I have these emails, some of which have been introduced to court, some will be injected in a few months.
Anyway you look at this the State of Florida was wrong in what they did, and how they went about it. GME has a ways to go dealing with this, but we will deal with this. And we will not stop coming back until justice has been gotten.

Fascinating. Best of luck to you, and to everyone involved in this. As I'm sure everyone will understand I don't have anything to say about the ongoing case, since I have never been a party to it.

I heard that the State of Florida contacted France behind GME's back.

Post a link to the applicable public document otherwise I'm done with your games.

I heard that Hunter Biden is dating Beyonce.

I didn't ask you to play any games, so that's fine. I just answered the question that was asked. It's none of my business whether or not you believe me.

I don't have a PACER account so I can't link to any federal court documents, and I don't possess any of them. But I already provided the link to the DOAH hearing docket earlier in this thread.

Is there a chance that the court would live screen the next court appearance.

I hate to interrupt this lively and hostile conversation about legal proceedings with a request for help identifying a find. This appears to fall under the heading of Cape Canaveral Shipwreck finds.

On Tuesday, May 30th I found a foot-long piece of wood with a round brass(?) nail in it, washed up on the beach just north of the Cape Canaveral launch complex (Playalinda Beach). I am trying to find out how old it might be from the nail. According to the GME reports, the estimated dates of the six wrecks off that coast range from mid-16th century to 19th century.

I have attached photos. The nail head is 1 inch in diameter. The shaft is 5/8" diameter and appears to be broken off at a 2-1/2" length. The wood cavity around the nail appears to have been burned.

Any help would be appreciated.

What would happen if the court rules against you and upholds that the ship is the Trinite and then you find the actual Trinite at the site 90 miles to the north where you expect it?

When sand washed away on Canaveral beach, a whole ship was exposed for a while. Archaeologists studied it until the sands covered it up again.
