whole criminal law scandal. today we learned that the campaign felony case is coming to an end. no one is apparently getting in trouble for it except michael cohen. we are going to learn more about what happened in the commission of those felonies when all of this stuff is unsealed at 11:00 a.m. but the judge is letting us know that prosecutors nevertheless wanted stuff held back because of third party privacy interests. here's how the judge responds to that. it's a legal maneuver, a legal dynamic in which the judge says are you freaking kidding me? no way! you are not getting that. after reviewing the government status report and proposed redactions, this court denies the go's request and in particular the ramifications of the conduct described in the campaign finance disclosures. they are a matter of national importance.
