Why are security clearances necessary to see unclassified documents?
My guess?
Discovery. Documents they MAY come across from the other side.
The indictment lists 31 documents that certainly going to be part of discovery.
Just found a good explanation of how cases like this work.
Before the trial CIPA applies
Apparently the courthouse doesn't have a SCIF, but a building close by does.
Maybe so no one can say the judge didn't do her due diligence to make sure the trial goes by the book, no one can say she allowed classified information into the courtroom without making sure the lawyers who view the information had clearance. Whether the information was classified or not.
The DOJ claims the case involves classified documents. That's the basis of the indictment. There's a section in the indictment that lists each document and its classification marking like TOP SECRET//SI/TK//NOFORN.
The DOJ says this is the current classification status.
