Mar- A Lago raided FBI Warrants

Judge grants Trump request for special master to review Mar-a-Lago docs
A federal judge on Monday accepted former President Trump's bid for a special master to review evidence seized by the FBI in the search at his Mar-a-Lago residence last month.

Driving the news: Judge Aileen Cannon ruled for a special master to be appointed "to review the seized property for personal items and documents and potentially privileged material subject to claims of attorney-client and/or executive privilege," per the filing.

• Cannon, a Trump-appointed judge, in the order also "temporarily enjoins the government from reviewing and using the seized materials for investigative purposes pending completion of the special master’s review or further Court order."

Between the lines: "This order shall not impede the classification review and/or intelligence assessment," Cannon wrote.

The big picture: In a filing last week, Trump's legal team accused the Department of Justice of "criminalizing" his possession of presidential records.

• "Left unchecked, the DOJ will impugn, leak, and publicize selective aspects of their investigation with no recourse for [Trump] but to somehow trust the self-restraint of currently unchecked investigators," per the court filing.

The DOJ has opposed Trump's request for the third-party attorney, citing "national security interests."

• The DOJ also rebuked Trump's claims that the documents are shielded by attorney-client and executive privileges. The Justice Department has argued that the records belong to the government, not Trump.

What to watch: Cannon gave the DOJ and Trump's legal team until Sept. 9 to submit a filing that includes a list of proposed special master candidates.

Judge Aileen Cannon also halted use of the materials for “criminal investigative purposes” pending the review.

Trump's parking garage attorney will likely recommend Rudy or John Eastman, or maybe Alan Dershowitz since Rudy lost his law license

I’d like to know Glenn Kirschner’s pick.

Hillary

Is she steeped in appellate law? It is my understanding that that is quite a specialty.

Does anyone know how the Special Master will be chosen?

Ask yourself this?
Name a current Republican you think could be unbiased?
I won’t wait for a response cause I think it’s obvious

I do not know any R specialists in Federal law. Legislators and other elected officials are not a good source pool.

The retired judge Luttig(?) who testified at the J6 hearing would be interesting
He's apparently an icon amongst conservatives

It depends on who has a constructive say or veto in the choice. Thus my question into the particulars.

I guess I’m more pessimistic than you
I don’t expect any legitimate person least of all with proper security clearances

Both sides are to supply their candidate. This should get interesting. On the one hand though, the DoJ has the documents and have gone through them. If a biased SM does some funny business they might have to justify it in court.
