The documents are heavily redacted. DOJ officials said there were five categories of information that needed to be kept sealed:

  • Witness identity
  • Road map for the investigation
  • Protecting confidential informants
  • Exposing the identity of law enforcement
  • Violating the privacy rights – specifically exposing identities of grand jury members and protecting information that might still be presented to a grand jury

A federal judge ordered the release of the documents because of the high-profile and unprecedented nature of the case.
