Right Wing America strikes its own path through our society

U.S. judge signals willingness to appoint special master in Trump search case

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept 1 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Thursday appeared sympathetic to former President Donald Trump's request to appoint a special master to review the documents the FBI seized from his home in August, though she declined to issue a ruling immediately on the matter.
At a hearing in West Palm Beach, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon pressed the Justice Department on why it opposes the appointment of a special master - an independent third party sometimes appointed by a court in sensitive cases to review materials potentially covered by attorney-client privilege to ensure investigators do not improperly view them.
"Ultimately, what is the harm of appointing a special master to review these materials?" asked Cannon, a Trump appointee.
"What I'm wondering from the government - what is the harm beyond delaying the investigation?"
She also suggested that she could feasibly carve out an exception which would permit U.S. intelligence officials to continue conducting their national security damage assessment pending the appointment of the special master before the criminal probe can continue.
"Would your position change if the special master were allowed to proceed without affecting the [Office of the Director of National Intelligence] review for intelligence purposes, but pausing any use of the documents in a criminal investigation?" she asked federal prosecutors.
Cannon also said she would unseal a more detailed inventory of the property the FBI seized from Trump's home following its unprecedented search, after media outlets filed a motion with the court to make it public.
On Thursday affirmed to Cannon that the former president wants to protect materials that were subject to a legal doctrine known as executive privilege, which can shield some presidential communications.
"The problem is, we haven't had access to the actual materials," Kise told her.
But the Justice Department has argued that such a claim is illogical, and that no special master is needed in the case.
"He is no longer the president," said Jay Bratt, the department's head of counterintelligence.
I wonder if the sun will set in the west tonight, and rise in the east tomorrow morning....
I wonder if tRump will ever do anything honestly ever again in his life.....

Are you planning to persist on stalking and harassing like this? If so, I'll be sure to point this out with perhaps a graphic every time you do it.

Its a sincere question.

On what planet is she the appropriate person to make any sort of decision here?

I wonder if there were things that might have come up during the background checks for some of the Trump appointed judges that weren't made public but Trump was told about.

Kind of surprised you find that particular news source to be worth quoting. Do you find them reliable outside some particular topics?
