Here's a challenge for mystery lovers: Find the real identity of the former Assistant United States Attorney who sued the Justice Department for allegedly disclosing his intimate medical records. Because: He has a serious beef.

On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle dismissed the case denoted John Doe v. U.S. Department of Justice. Here, the judge lays out the genesis of the dispute:

"His troubles within his local United States Attorney’s Office appear to have begun in 2003, when he became embroiled in a dispute with a law enforcement agent over an allegedly illegal search and seizure. Though the U.S. Attorney for Doe’s district approved the search, Doe submitted a memorandum to his superiors detailing his objections.  A series of conflicts between Doe and his superiors ensued. In late 2003, Doe took a medical leave of absence and was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder by his psychologist."

That's quite a fact pattern right there. It grows more complex.

In 2008, a lawsuit was apparently filed against the agent who had been the subject of John Doe's memo. Doe prepared a new memo, which apparently displeased his supervisors, and he was demoted. Doe contended his anxiety diagnosis was aggravated by his demotion; then, when he complained about that, alarmed Justice Department officials yanked his security clearance and fired him. John Doe appealed his dismissal but asked the Merit System Protection Board to keep it all sealed; the Justice Department, for its own reasons, apparently kept putting documents into the public record.

For reasons best read in the original, the judge dismissed the case, but it begs the question: who is the former federal prosecutor in question?
