Fearing likely disbarment proceedings, federal prosecutors involved in the Broadview Six case attempt to mask their names and deny involvement in the case... like rats scurrying off a sinking ship.

Feds appear to hide name of government lawyer in new 'Broadview Six' court filing
The move is particularly striking in the politically charged "Broadview Six" case, in which U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros' office has already been accused of a cover-up. Even in the Chicago prosecution...

In the authoritarian mind, society is deeply and intrinsically hierarchical. Either they're above you, or you're above them. Either they have the liberty, or you have the liberty. You can't both have it.
