WHEREAS, the government is concerned that the Witness Discovery be carefully controlled, due, in part, to concerns raised by some prospective witnesses regarding their physical safety if their statements were to be disclosed to individuals connected with this and related prosecutions; due, in part, to the nature of the witnesses' securities trading, banking, and other financial and third-party identity information to be provided, and due to the fact that some of the materials include information protected by Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e).

Very interesting. Wish we had a criminal attorney commenting here.

Sounds to me as if the DOJ isn't happy that Mangiapane is representing himself, and are afraid that he may pass discovery material around to everybody and his Aunt Sally.

This agreement would mean that he can't show that stuff to anyone at all. That may force him to hire an attorney, which I'm sure would be a relief to everyone else involved in this case.
