“According to a Sunday night court filing by federal prosecutors, that includes secret witness interviews by law enforcement and internal communications between House committee staff members. The Justice Department claims this material that, were it exposed to the public, would cause “specific harms” like “witness tampering” or making it impossible to find impartial jurors at a future trial.”
Really? Let’s be honest. Prosecutors already tamper with witnesses - legally (e.g. offering immunity or plea deals, threaten with prosecution, etc etc) and illegally.
And one has to ask what “specific harms” would make it impossible to find impartial jurors? Those “specific harms” have nothing to do with the harms to the defendant. Oh no, the prosecution would be specifically harmed ... and why is that? What did they givernment do that would be an affront to a potential juror so as to compromise impariality? Seems like the givernment is doing something unconstitutional, or in violation of a statute or unethical. Yes, I hope it sees the light of day.
Probably communications between DOJ and house dems prior asking if they would indict if he did not comply.
