9. Probably because the sealed information is financial data about Staples

and thus whether or not its released would not impact Romney at this point. My speculation, and admittedly it is just speculation, is that the reason the testimony was sealed was that at the time it was given it contained confidential business information. Such information is routinely redacted from public versions of court and agency filings and kept under seal. Since its more than 20 years old, and Romney is not involved with Staples any longer, the position I would expect his lawyer to take (and that I would take if it was my client) would be to have no position and to leave the issue to be argued for and against by those who do have a position.
