UPDATE RE: Unsealing of federal grand jury transcripts in United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell

The case has been assigned to Judge Paul Adam Engelmayer and he has entered an ORDER.

🧵

First, he advises that he "intends to resolve this motion expeditiously."

Here are at least some of the factors that he will be considering.

DOJ has until Tuesday July 29th to make a filing addressing these factors and any others it thinks are relevant to the unsealing motion.

DOJ is authorized to make a redacted version of this filing public. Nice.

It doesn't say that they have to, though.

The Court does not have the grand jury transcripts. So it directs the DOJ to, by July 29th, file the following:

(1) An index of the Maxwell grand jury transcripts, with summary, pages, and dates

(2) A complete set of the Maxwell grand jury transcripts

(3) A set of redacted Maxwell grand jury transcripts

(4) A description of any other Maxwell grand jury materials

The Court directs Maxwell to file a response stating her position on the unsealing by Tuesday, August 5.

Letters from victims regarding the unsealing are also due by that date.

The order is here storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Fun fact:

Maxwell's current counsel for her appeal case is ALSO Hillary Clinton's counsel in Trump's Civil RICO case against Hillary.

That case is currently on appeal at the 11th circuit right now.

Ok, back to studying the RussiaGate/SpyGate/ObamaGate material...
