Yesterday, the government filed in response in opposition, and requested that the motion and response be place under seal.

Just damn!

What's up with all this sealing of public documents? What could possibly be so secret about a bail request that the court would need to seal it? I don't get it.

Me neither [shaking head, jaw dropped open...]

After reading portions of the transcript, I will be very surprised if the agents motion to be released during the pendency of the appeal is granted by the 5th. It is unusual that the gov't requested the the motion and response be sealed. Maybe they are building another case against these guys and feel that something in their response will compromise that case. This observation is strictly a guess. I am interested to see who on the panel that issues the ruling on the agent's motion.
