Sanders' office argued that the request was an over-broad "fishing expedition" and that Senate staffers could not be subpoenaed in their official capacities.
In an earlier article in Seven Days, it was noted:
"We requested information from Senator Sanders’s office regarding its involvement in a baseless lawsuit led by out-of-state class action attorneys against Vermont companies," Coffin wrote. "Senator Sanders has repeatedly demanded transparency in public institutions, yet he now asks a court to block access to evidence in his possession and relevant to the meritless lawsuit."

I agree that Sanders does have some transparency issues. There are the transparency issues mentioned in his lawsuit, then there are the transparency issues related to Bernie's refusal to provide full tax documents.
What is Bernie attempting to hide and why is he reluctant to provide transparency?
