AP says that U.S. District Court Judge Philip Pro may be unsealing some of those court documents from the Dennis Montgomery v. Warren Trepp case.
The Nevada Democratic Party filed a motion in November to unseal records in the civil case while Gibbons was in the final days of his race for governor against Democrat Dina Titus.
Earlier this week, the Reno Gazette-Journal also filed a motion aimed at unsealing the court documents.
The newspaper's motion said that a "motion for disclosures" Montgomery filed on March 5 contains "serious allegations of unlawful collusion" between Trepp, the U.S. attorney's office, the FBI and Gibbons.
It said Montgomery's motion also references an order - which remains sealed - that U.S. Magistrate Valerie Cook issued on Nov. 28 in which she found the search and seizures to be unconstitutional.
Pro, who took on the case less than a month ago after U.S. District Judge Larry Hicks recused himself, heard arguments from lawyers for Montgomery and eTreppid in federal court in Reno on Thursday along with Cook.
"I was initially struck by the number of things sealed - the wholesale sealing of things filed," Pro said. (links added)
Gibbons is going to washed out to sea! How does he even get out of bed in the morning?
