Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[AngelaNBayern]

As I have no legal background, may I ask those who might know, are items of discovery allowed to be made public before an actual trial ensues? Or are they only allowed to be released to the public as they are presented in court?

I am trying to ascertain what level of desperation we can expect from the defendants (how quickly they will yell uncle), as it is likely many damning pieces are about to be unearthed.
