1. Well?

2. The public's right to know outweighs the Government's privacy concerns

... is what I get from this decision. The judge directs the government to make documents available by 11 a.m. tomorrow July 18, 2019.

But I'm not a lawyer, maybe I'm missing something.

3. Maybe Rachel will discuss tonite.

From the filing:

"The campaign finance violations discussed in the Materials are a matter of national importance. Now that the Government’s investigation into those violations has concluded, it is time that every American has an opportunity to scrutinize the Materials. Indeed, the common law right of access—a right so enshrined in our identity that it “predate[s] even the Constitution itself”—derives from the public’s right to “learn of, monitor, and respond to the actions of their representatives and representative institutions.” United States v. Erie Cty., 763 F.3d 235, 238-39 (2d Cir. 2014). Accordingly, the Government is directed to file the July 15, 2019 status report and the Materials on the public docket on July 18, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. The July 15, 2019 status report shall be unredacted in its entirety, except that limited references in the footnote to an uncharged third-party may remain redacted.

6. The judge has ordered release of all materials

which should make for some interesting reading.
