^ This seems like a really unprecedented request or maybe I'm just unfamiliar with how the news works. But I think the Judge should unseal the records. What's there to hide?
Snipped by me. I don't know about this particular request, but generally it's pretty common for there to be legal back and forth between media outlets and LE/prosecution over documents, search warrants, and other case information.The media obviously has an interest in keeping as much information as possible in the public eye, and many investigations want secrecy, so there's a lot of conflict that the judicial system is often called on to resolve.
