informing the court and his lawyers so that they may deactivate the links, it sounded to me on first reading like Eastman's lawyers could have done that at an earlier time. Maybe I'm misunderstanding that. It's not my area of expertise by a long shot, so I don't know how much proactive behavior of the sort is normally done in such circumstances, if any.

Eastman's lawyers forwarded the docs without deactivating the links that "they" put in the docs.

If you send me a document with an active link in it, and I click on the link and it takes me to your "private" document file, it's not my "error".

I, just like the DOJ lawyers might have any ethical requirement to say; "hey, you need to remove or deactivate your links in this document", which is exactly what the DOJ lawyers are doing.

Describing this as the DOJs "error", provides aid and comfort to the insurrectionists.
