“public exemption in cases of national security.”
This is a huge stretch for the definition of "national security" and not necessarily one that a US Attorney should be making in this case, lest courts rule against them for over-extension and they lose the privilege of invoking this exemption for the future.

And when everything becomes a national security issue, then national security means nothing. But that doesn't matter to one prosecutor trying to notch one more case.
