Judge seals all video interviews in Clinton email case
« on: May 27, 2016, 10:20:07 am »
From The Hill:

Quote
A federal judge is preventing the distribution of videotaped depositions as part of a lawsuit connected to Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

In an order on Thursday evening, Judge Emmet Sullivan granted the request of lawyers for Clinton’s ex-chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, who had worried that video clips of her interview could be used for political purposes.

And Sullivan went further, ordering all videotaped depositions to remain sealed until he ordered otherwise. The move, he said in a brief order, was to “avoid unnecessary briefing” going forward.

(remainder snipped)

Surprised to find that this judge wasn't an Obama appointee.

Sullivan's a pretty good judge who's all about law and order and procedure.  He's probably right in doing what he did, legally speaking.

What is the legal standard used to seal these interviews?
My political philosophy:

1) I'm not bothering anybody.
2) It's none of your business.
3) Leave me alone!
