Who Will Become The Special Masters For Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Investigation?

A duel between the Justice Department and former President Trump’s lawyers commenced over who should be appointed to sort through the government documents the FBI seized from Mar-a-Lago. The Justice Department proposed two federal judges for the role of a special master, including one nominated by former President George W. Bush. Trump’s team candidates were a Reagan nominee and a former Florida Deputy Attorney General. The arguing believes the review should only include all documents seized by the FBI, while the Justice Department insists it only covers unclassified documents. The special master will decide whether any of the seized documents are privileged and must be excluded from the investigation.

Just the fact the FBI blacked out 70% of the warrant and doesn't want a 3rd party looking into their activities tells me all I need to know.

Did all the FBI agents have Top Secret clearance to be able to even search for such documents?

We don't need a Special Master for Trump, we need a Warden.

When Trump left office I was looking forward to not hearing about him in the news... idk what I was thinking.

Ultimately... nobody... this will be overturned by the DOJ for the judge being out of her jurisdiction.

Justice has been in short supply for years.

The media has forgotten about 9/11. It's either about the Queen, Trump, or Biden doing something. Sad.

When you're about to be indicted, you will do anything to postpone it. He has been doing it all his life. He is going to do it again. He knows he is in deep water this time.

Does this judge really have the security clearance necessary to preside over a case with this many top secrets at stake?

Why are you so worried about Trump, there is a lot more important news in the world instead of TDS

For this charade, it will be most fitting to appoint someone named Bates.

[davidmacy]

No one will be special master because the idiocy is being appealed.

Trump wants Kanye West to be his Special Master

Lot's of free advertising for Trump. It's negative, but doesn't seem to be having any effect, and might be helping Trump.

[ernievarela]

It’s so sad to see how some judges, politicians, and part of the society defends a traitor and criminal . No moral, no values . 👎👎👎

[mckcpaul]

Trump is probably trying to get his daughter to be a special master, lmao!

Can't wait to hear the twist that operation mockingbird is going to put on this

Can’t wait till I see him do the perp walk like Bannon got to do.

If the fbi is so impartial why won't they show the Ray Epps interview with the Jan 6 committee?
