GAH does not republish that copy and cites the redacted refiling ECF 1326-4 for Log 153. Update 2026-10-06: ECF 264-1 confirms Judge Sweet reviewed the law-enforcement materials in camera, upheld the qualified public-interest privilege, denied compelled disclosure, and ordered the log and documents preserved under seal. Update 2026-10-06: the 2019 BSF subpoena and released March/April production indexes were mapped. The subpoena expressly excluded validly privileged documents; the reviewed indexes do not identify a separate approximately 57-document law-enforcement tranche. DOJ direct automated PDF retrieval was age-gated during this pass, so no local hash is asserted for the added EFTA sources.",
