• concluding that \choices made by FEC attorneys--without the Commission's ratification and acceptance--do not stand as the authoritative interpretation of the agency requiring deference\
• holding that sealing issue is “completely separate from the underlying subpoena enforcement action.”
• noting that the confidentiality provision of the Federal Election Campaign Act would “create an extraordinarily strong privacy interest in keeping ... records sealed” under Hubbard
• reversing district court order denying motion to seal where Federal Election Campaign Act and implementing regulations prohibited Federal Election Commission from publicly disclosing certain information
• Commission filed in open court the complaint, a staff analysis detailing the alleged violations, the Commission's \reason to believe\ finding, and information concerning an unrelated investigation
• section 30109(a)(12)(A)\plainly prohibit[s] the FEC from disclosing information concerning ongoing investigations under any circumstances without the written consent of the subject of the investigation\
