49% : In his order, Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart said that after reviewing DOJ's memorandum and proposed redactions he believes the government has met its burden of showing a compelling reason and good cause to seal the requested portions of the affidavit because "disclosure would reveal the identities of witnesses, law enforcement agents, and uncharged parties, the investigation's strategy, direction, scope, sources, and methods, and grand jury information..."He says that the government has also met its burden in showing that its proposed redactions "are narrowly tailored to serve the Government's legitimate interest in the integrity of the ongoing investigation and are the least onerous alternative to sealing the entire Affidavit."
