According to the docket, the Main Document IS there, but is not linked there, and only will be available from PACER,.

It's a due process court procedure that allows both counsels to decide on redactions, though, being a layman, I'm not sure why that procedure exists. So the transcript won't likely be available through media, either.

1. The reference is to "personal identifiers," which is probably a serious consideration

in this case - any time there is a court transcript all the lawyers and court reporters and some other court personnel besides the judge often are identified.

2. I see. I wondered. That makes sense. Thanks.

3. But what if I yell *really* loudly about the public's right to know?

Will the judge then ignore the legitimate threat to the rights of the parties involved and let me splash the unredacted transcript across the fakebook and xitter and m$m omniverse?

Just kidding. Don't send the 87000 armored IRS agents after me, Judge.
