In reply to the discussion: Stephen K. Bannon files motion to request all documents in court case be made public [View all]cstanleytech
(26,286 posts)9. Bannon does not care what the public knows about him what he does care
about is finding out everything that they might know and finding out how they know it.
In this case the goal might be to uncover the names of all confidential sources of information the government has even if its sources that the government has no intention of introducing evidence it found due to that source.
In other words it sounds more like he is trying to use the government to root out people rather than help bolster his defense.

Keeping documents and evidence out of public view is SOP. It prevents jury pool contamination.
