 Wiener chronicled much of his frustration with getting documents in his 1984 book "Come Together" including many "Orwellian moments" during the "tortoise-like progress" of the lawyers.While Wiener lost many of the early "skirmishes", a turning point came in 1991 when the 9th Circuit appeals court ruled in his favor, and declared that the FBI had failed to provide "adequate grounds" to keep the data secret.As a result, the FBI had to keep filing affidavits which had "sufficient detail" which allowed Wiener to keep advocating for their release, and for judges to "intelligently judge" the contest, according to several reports.
