Trump assassination suspect Ryan Routh, who is accused of attempting to shoot the president at one of his golf courses, has been blocked from accessing "classified information" related to his case.
Well in the end the judge decides if it is related to the case. And the article also said they can withhold info that relates to the case if it doesn’t help the defendant. And again the judge decides. So if the judge was objective this would work. But that particular judges has shown not to be. Yet just because she isn’t completely objective, doesn’t mean he didn’t ask for stuff that wouldn’t help him. In short, I don’t think they should have to spill everything requested, but I don’t really trust them to be a fair judge of what should be released.
Well, he could have been requesting files on area 51 for all the article says.
this is a good point. I guess I was assuming for things related to his case.
