Aren’t prosecutors required to follow Brady without a specific ruling? Not that they do...but aren’t they supposed to share all evidence with the defense?

Won’t swear to it because I am not a lawyer, but reading it leads me to believe that the defendant himself can demand evidence favorable to a defendant as part of due process. Thus I would think the AG could demand it as well. Refusal is not an option. Purposely omitting information is prosecutorial misconduct. Judge Sullivan went a step further and demanded Mueller turn over even evidence which is favorable to the defendant but which the government believes not to be material.

Not sure what you’re asking.

Discovery is SOP. What’s unusual here is Judge Sullivan ordering ALL evidence for in camera review whether Mueller thinks it’s material or not.
