Thanks Obit - so it was my (probably incorrect) understanding that the Mandamus ruling prevented all types of privilege other than Executive - which obviously doesn't align with your comment here. I realize that Sweeney said that all the docs were fair game but the mandamus said that all the docs save for the Executive priv. docs.


So I guess the questions are 1. can they just use the production of the documents as a delay tactic? and 2. can the gov't just not give any documents and put the burden of proof on the plaintiffs? 3. It seems like the honor system is a pathetic choice by Sweeney given that the defense has done nothing to be honorable to date, so was the honor system the only other choice she had?

Let the defendants sift through 12,000 and what's left over, say 100-1000, Sweeney should look at. Or better yet, what's left over is obviously where any smoking guns are hiding and both defendants and plaintiffs should have opportunity to challenge in court.
Seems to me, this like if I robbed a bank, the judge says the state may prosecute but no video evidence, no witnesses, no se. No's, no blue die, no evidence of any kind will be allowed but your free to make your case.
This whole thing is a joke.
