The depositions of #Lerner & #Paz were sealed by a judge after their lawyers claimed they received threats. JW argues the docs may shed light on govt misconduct and that the shielding of internal govt deliberations does not serve the public interest. (2/5)

JW Prez @TomFitton: “In a republic, citizens have a right to know what its govt is up to, especially when officials abuse powers entrusted to them. The effort to seal #LoisLerner & #HollyPaz depositions for all time is an affront to the rule of law.” (5/5)
