I totally disagree. I don't think that Judge Sweeney ever considered whether any document she viewed was a bombshell. I don't think anything mattered except issuing the best legal opinion she could deliver in the fairest manner to all parties. I don't agree with all her choices, but I must still respect what I thought was a very well-written and totally thorough order on the motion to compel.

You could, of course, be right, but experience with Federal courts tells me that only the rule of law mattered in how this all went down. It would be improper for the judge to have advised the government in anything, and I totally doubt this would ever happen in so hugh profile a case. The clients are left to figure things out for themselves in such matters, which I am sure happened many days ago, following the order's release on the 20th.

JMHO.

Judges don't "advise" parties to an action. They make rulings.

Whether the documents favored one side over the other is moot in her ruling. Her only concern would have been whether the protective order was legal or not. In this case, it was not.

If there was nothing to hide this case would have been shut a long time ago. Government would have shown their hand and we would have all moved on as losers. However the more they fight, the more obvious it becomes that something is up.

If there was nothing to hide Ackman, Berk, and Perry would have taken their money to play in other sandboxes where only the Big Kids get to play.

The longer it drags on the more confident I become in my investment, and the more embarrassed I become of my (our) elected officials.Keep Dragging Government, I am still loading. Good Luck Everybody!
