Talking head attorneys on MSNBC were all saying normal procedural appearance with no surprises expected.

Defense asking for bail and asking to have charges dismissed. No changes expected.

Prosecution says it has 1.5million documents. Wants protective order keeping evidence confidential to protect other cases. No decision yet.

Sounds procedural, as expected, based on the lack of twitter noise.
