Federal court moves to unseal documents in Jeffrey Epstein scandal
Miami Herald ^ | 3-11-2019 | Julie Brown

A federal court of appeals in New York on Monday took the first step in unsealing documents that could reveal evidence of an international sex trafficking operation allegedly run by multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein and his former partner, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.

The three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit gave the parties until March 19 to establish good cause as to why they should remain sealed and, failing to do so, the summary judgment and supporting documents will be made public. The court reserved a ruling on the balance of the documents in the civil case, including discovery materials.

“We’re grateful that the court ruled the summary judgment papers are open and they are moving to expedite having them unsealed,’’ said Sanford Bohrer, the attorney representing the Miami Herald, which filed the motion last year to have the entire case file opened. The Herald’s appeal is supported by 32 other media companies, including the New York Times and Washington Post.

Because it it will reveal a lot of their clowns, Menendez, clinton, and a few others. I am not actually in favor of this. This is what got got Obozo elected, unsealing records of his rival. I may be wrong, but sealed records should remain sealed. Input accepted. Fungus one.

Depends on why they were sealed. Was it for national security? Or sealed because it might embarrass somebody important.

I thought the other woman was Ocasio-Cortez.

I'm scratching my head....

She's married to a predator?

Huh?

Then I realize - that's Huma, formerly married to Weiner Man.

"Input accepted."

The democrats and their permanent government pals will always get records that harm any of their opponents unsealed and always pretend that there's a good reason to keep records that expose their corruption and perversions sealed.

There's no such thing as setting a precedent that they'll adhere to when not adhering to it benefits them so unseal it all, that's the only way to be sure there's a level playing field.
