I have a question and I think a good one. I know what under seal means. I have adopted 4 children.
I also know that a high profile case such as this President taking top secret documents and filing for a Special Master to get into court may have other reasons other than stalling may mean.
There is always a transcriber in court. Do they have Security clearance? A judge of any kind has staff. Do they have security clearance? I know that judge or any judge does not carry that info around in a black bag everywhere they go. Where is that info stored and who stores it when the judge takes a leak, a lunch break, home for the day, or away from the bench at any time? What happens when she reaches her decision on the motion? Who types up the decision and do they just type a decision without prying eyes? Do they go home and tell family or friends what was the probable cause? Do they talk on the phone on what they discovered in that high profile case? They may not are supposed to talk about a case but one this explosive , what safeguard are in place to make sure they do not? Too many eyes have seen what happened in that affadavit and the same goes for the special master. A Special Master most certainly will have staff and steno folks.
I am thinking a Judge in a Federal Courthouse is not just one person but a whole host of people working with that judge and how much security is involved with Top Secret Info that is supposed to be at the National archives? I know the documents were not there but there was info or notes about the documents warranting the reason for a search at Mara Lago that pertained to the top secret documents.
Can the Former guy always say if anything is leaked, the courts or someone in the court staff leaked the info. This could be a reasonable doubt for him and he and his lawyers knew that. Surely the DOJ thought this out and did not want the affadavit unredacted. This concerns me and should concern every single American.
Inquiring minds want to know.
WHAT SECURITY CLEARANCE HAS BEEN TAKEN FOR ALL THOSE IN THIS MATTER?
There are people who file decisions based on evidence that the judge saw that had possible eyes on the unredacted affidavit. Do they have Security clearance? How many people saw this case by just doing their jobs but were curious for such an unprecedinted case? Could they have made copies?
I need some legal comfort here and can someone on here inform me for my own comfort? We are talking American lives, our National Security here, trying to appease a criminal and thief who may have sold us out, not Johnny Jones who stole a bike from Walmart.
