The responsible media doesn't know how to react because you have the blush effect of news from Sweeney that was already "previewed" days ago after being "leaked" by Bradford last Thursday, moderated by the appeal filing lobbed out there by Sammons that NO pundit has addressed in any way... including on this board. I first brought it up, here, it has almost ZERO comment since, yet it has the potential to stay the Sweeney ruling for a LONG period of time.
All the blog hogs have laid out there are self-serving opinions and bombshell speculations about documents about which no more detail has been released that on the Compel motion indices 1 thru 4 in 2015 dockets. Well whoop-de-doo! It means nothing until some detail gets released, and nothing I saw in the Sweeney order makes any public disclosure look any likelier, or would give anyone reason to believe that either side gained that much of an edge, for now.
There will be more impact from the Sammons appeal before the first page of copy paper passes hands from the government to either the court or the plaintiffs. Or a mandamus push back from government, though I sense that is less likely. Every document batch released from Privilege Purgatory adds weeks/months to the end decision process. Cheer for the doc's all you want, but the delays get nobody anywhere and that looks like a pattern that will continue for the foreseeable future. Want even more documents released? Great! Add a few more months to the ladies-in-waiting line. Want some more? Certainly, Sir. Add a few MORE months.
Why would the S/P celebrate any of that? Better to save the champagne for the Mets beating the Giants in the Wild Card game tomorrow.
JMHO.
