Lois Lerner’s tea party-targeting testimony can stay secret: Judge
U.S. District Judge Michael R. Barrett had originally ordered their depositions be sealed, but on Thursday he removed that prohibition and instead said the testimony should be deemed “confidential,” keeping it secret until he can see what the women had to say and what effect releasing it to the public would have.
He said the parties in the case can eventually ask to make the information public, and at that point the burden will be on Ms. Lerner and Ms. Paz to explain why it should be kept secret.
“Good cause exists to maintain the confidentiality of the depositions during the discovery phase,” Judge Barrett ruled.
