gehringer_2 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) Quote enjoins the Justice Dept from reviewing the seized materials for investigative purposes pending completion of the special master review Ridiculous windmill tilt since they've all already been reviewed. it would be nice to have a legal system in the US that at least still pretends to be attached to reality.

Which makes her much much worse than a putz. Did Trump pay her off somehow, or threaten her life? That's the first question I ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfife Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 The decision sucks but one thing I did think was a bit suspect was the notion that a special master wasn't needed because the DOJ reviewed already. Isn't the point of special master that a neutral 3rd party should review? I recall this from.... maybe the Mueller investigation (?) and their review process went surprisingly quickly.

I think the bigger issue with the Special master review is that it's fundamentally irrelevant to the likely charges to be filed; at it's base it's just another delaying tactic. Of course if DOJ would go ahead and file some charges that might all get a lot clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know their guy is fucked and appointing a Special Master just delays, but does not end, the DOJs investigation and (potential) criminal charges by the DOJ. The Special Master does not change anything in the facts of the case and will not get him off the hook on a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben9753 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Can someone explain the meaning of Special Master and what it means for Trump and the investigation? I don't read the news much and am off twitter and rely on this board for current events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 the judge wants to appoint someone to review the material to separate out the personal/privilege stuff from the items that belongs to the government. Which is silly because it's already been done! From what I have read the judge basically did the work of the attorneys. Meaning.... they didn't ask for things, didn't clarify things, etc. but the judge just ruled as if they did. Like a teacher filling in test answers or grading an essay not written.

The SCOTUS did away with most 'incompetent counsel' appeal grounds so a MAGA judge has little choice if she wants to avoid a ruling against the Orange Menace that he can't appeal.
