As for the sealing of the prosecution, I don't know what the reason for that was.

Hmmm.....the person to ask would be that fired assistant district attorney in charge of the case. She might know, but I bet she's not going to talk. I wonder why she'd risk losing her job over Scott Ritter?

What I find amazing is that this was clamped down & clamped down (dare I say it?) hard. We didn't hear about it from June, 2001 until now. That means that the reporters who cover the courthouse (usually a fruitful source of leaks from gossipy court personnel) didn't hear about it--and possibly didn't know about it. If Ritter had a court appearance--and that's a big IF because his lawyer may have appeared in the case without his presence--the courtroom itself may have either been sealed or the case wasn't put on the court calendar or put on the court calendar with the name obscured or the court hearing set at a weird time, like 6 a.m. It means not one cop in that department said a word about busting Ritter.

Most interesting--but this raises more questions, doesn't it?

Maybe just one reporter covering the courthouse at the time, and he, for some reason, agreed to take part in keeping the matter secret?

Ex-Assistant District Attorney Cynthia Preiser was just fired for gross misconduct in this very serious case, one with implications for national and international security. She is a deceiver and, by her unethical actions has caused injury to the world's peace by her misconduct. Quite an achievement for a local political appointee in a backwater benighted democrat fiefdom.

It would appear that, for the public's interest, the New York Bar Association needs to evaluate her status as a practicing attorney.

Isn't DAnconia55 right that the judge would also have to agree to keep the matter sealed?

Absolutely no possibility of conducting such a large scale coverup of such a prominent and observed figure without the Feds knowing about it. Which means they supported it.

Why?
