U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon has issued a two-page order [SEE HERE] indicating her willingness to appoint a special master to review the documents seized by the DOJ in the Mar-a-Lago raid.
Judge Cannon has asked the Justice Department to produce by Tuesday “a more detailed” list of items seized from Trump’s residence on Aug. 8 as well as the status of the government’s ongoing review of those materials, which includes the use of a “filter team” to screen for attorney-client privileged records.
How much do you want to bet that the special master will turn out to be a partner at a law firm that has been deeply involved in partisan politics, or, perhaps more likely, be the spouse of a mid-to-high level official in the Justice department?
Someone like Christine Blasey Ford or Peter Stroks wife will be appointed Master .
If Judge Rudolph Contreras, Judge James Boasberg, or Judge Emmet Sullivan surface, you will know the fix is in.
Or, judge Amy Berman Jackson.
Wanna bet?
It looks like he’s the judge assigned to J6 plant John Sullivan who sold his footage. Lots of motions to seal…

Strzok’s wife is a high ranking SEC official. Too busy covering for the Clinton Foundation and Congressional insider training.
Rosenstein’s wife, or maybe one of his daughters, is probably available.
Or maybe they can get better use of the Judge that handled the Maxwell/ Epstein case. She was newly appointed just before the case. They have to get their monies worth out of her.
And Maureen Comey, she’s free after “losing” evidence for her daddy.
Your cynicism runs deep.
No matter how cynical I get, I find I’m still naive.
Bret Weinstein
Stroke’s wife is busy targeting Trump and Musk at the SEC.
Kinda funny strokes wife is still around while he was playing hide the salami with Page.
You mean like the law firm Mike Flynn hired to defend himself … Eric Holder’s law firm?
They sure did a number on Gen. Flynn, and yet they still practice law in DC.

If not now they will be. At some point you earn your “offer that can’t be refused.”
The Judge was appointed by President Trump.
I believe this is a positive development. It sounds like the judge is going to make a good and fair ruling. 🙂
The time for a good & fair ruling has passed.
Kill me you fool.
We will see if that means anything.
I want my Government
Of, For and By the People.
Damn the Dung being shoveled at us!
I THINK I will take that bet.
Argueing devils advocate, this has already drawn far more scrutiny to this whole issue, that THEY wanted.
I know the argument is “THEY don’t care”, but if that were true, they wouldn’t CARE that PDJT HAS the documents, and they wouldn’t CARE if he released them.
Garland sure didn’t look like someone who didn’t CARE, when he made his “hostage video statement”.
Lets see what happens, although I can’t think who they could have be this Special Master, that wouldn’t be compromised, I must admit.
Justice Clarence Thomas, perhaps?
Gosh, wouldn’t that be great! Clarence the Great for Special Master.
In today’s partisan world Solomon would be compromised.
I have questions – playing into your theory, Dutchman.
1) Does Trump have a complete inventory of what was seized? (We don’t know.)
2) Could something be planted by the invading FBI agents? (Probably – would anyone trust otherwise?)
3) If there is a Special Master in charge of reviewing – couldn’t that person legitimately report on that which is in the boxes – planted or unplanted?
Boiled down – Constitutional rights against unlawful search and seizure were violated.
Our Constitutional rights against unlawful surveillance are being violated every moment of every day.
The Constitution has been thrown out the window and frankly, I’m tired of the circus sideshow antics distracting us from the obscene lawlessness!
The question is not “Where’s Hunter?”
The questions should be: “Where’s John Heinz-Kerry?” , “Where’s Susan Rice?”, “Where’s Ron Klain?”
The documents in question, assuming Sundance is correct, should have been released by Trump long ago. The entire “obstruction” argument vis a vis Durham is a total red herring. My two key questions are (1). Why did Trump fail to release documents that he declassified and wanted released. (2) Why did the DOJ wait 18 months to go after said documents.
None of it adds up. There is way more to this than anyone has yet figured out.
Trump cannot obstruct investigations done on his authority, and he does not need permission of bureaucrats acting on executive authority to release anything. Any prosecution of the above would have been null because it would clearly be an attempt to cover their abuses. Trump blew this when he left office without releasing everything.
He did release everything! The documents in question were stalled by the Bureaucrats that didn’t want them released.
allow me to take a stab:
bottom line: DOJ is attempting to re-re-classify material and run another public relations media expose’ “proving” President Trump is lawless, a criminal now, and is refusing to cooperate with “investigators”
they will indict him on obstruction. They will try and convict him.
this case will go to scotus.
scotus will punt and rule the issue political and the lower court case will stand
Justice Thomas AGAIN in dissent will exclaim: “inexplicable”
this is what will happen.
Once you’ve run through all the possible scenarios and how this will all play out, this is what you come up with. (or not)…It’s my own opinion. It’s how I see it happening.
and from that view, the sooner that President Trump and his legal team realizes there are no other outcomes he needs to make a decision to simply leak the material out.
How can he do that?
I have an idea. I know this computer shop. Maybe one of his attorney’s can drop it off from repairs and never come back to pick it up.
I’ll be glad to make sure it travels around the world in both www digital AND PAPER copy. I can do that.
I have friends. And strangely, most of them cannot stand President Trump. But we are UNITED on this one issue, even if it means giving support to orange man bad. (not my view, but my fellow peers mostly regard him as a world class asshole…I don’t care about that)…what we do agree on is this:
the truth about this matter is too important to ignore. If this corruption is allowed to continue and criminals are not held to account, spells no good options for anyone that the DOJ decides is a criminal.
that part is very clear to each and ever single person who is honest about what we are seeing.
This is the issue that makes otherwise politcally opposite people work together. No one can afford to have a secret police spy state controlling elections and stealing power from THE PEOPLE.
I can live with my peers not having the same political values I share. I cannot live with doing business with peers who willfully ignore criminality at this scale and are too cowardly and weak to speak up and act.
We aren’t a perfect group, but we get things done…hell or high water.
God Bless America
Actually, I read that a detail of Secret Service had been assigned to the security for the documents, and that President Trump had a “team” of people who were the ones who packaged the documents for transfer from the White House to Mar-a-Lago.
Surely, the President wouldn’t be doing that personally, do you think? Additionally, if his team of people gathered the documents and got them ready to move and store at Mar-a-Lago, then there would be an inventory list of the contents.
One thing I’ve learned from watching President Trump over the years is that he is a stickler for protocol, and for doing things properly.
That would be why they have to make up charges against him that never stick. That would be why they have to cheat to beat him.
Starting with Hunter is meant to school the masses. It’s all many would understand and anything bad about Biden that goes national to the uninformed is good.
The “they don’t care” statement more likely applies to “they don’t care” how they retrieve the evidence of their wrongdoing and abuses, so long as they retrieve and destroy the evidence before it is made public. Because whatever fallout comes for this lawlessness, it’s nothing compared to what they fear will happen when their evil is exposed. I suspect it’s worse than our wildest imagination.
Trump should have released it all immediately, that would have shielded him from this. There is no way to verify what documents the statists removed. They’ve already had too much time with those boxes and have already violated Trump’s attorney-client privilege as well as likely already destroyed the documents they were sent to retrieve. Too little too late.
Are you saying he should have released what we are only guessing he had to release?
I didn’t know any private citizens like ourselves were privy to exactly what President Trump took with him to Mar-a-lago.
Who wouldn’t take that bet ?
Maybe they’ll drag Mueller back out of hiding and get him to do it….after all, he’s proven to be such an asset to them all
They can’t use Mueller…he drools on the paper work and nobody wants to handle it after that…
Really? Mueller did not find any evidence of Russian collusion or even obstruction. And his appearance before Congress was a joke. I think he was a total failure for the democrats.
And still they got away clean, has anyone, I mean a single person paid any price for the fiascos of the last while? What we have witnessed over the last 6 yrs is nothing short of a circus.
it’s been persecution
it’s been treason
a conspiracy to conduct a coup
it was a criminal abuse of law enforcement power
it is also a cover up, which is a form of obstruction.
it is illegally fraudulently manufacturing evidence..
it is willfully ignoring evidence to the contrary.
we have CRIMES
we have motive
we can establish intent.
this is why DOJ is attempting to move mountains.
it will not work.
the lion if truth is no longer sleeping…it hunts day and night now…with no breaks.
there will be no hiding from this truth.
what makes the lion of truth go full godzilla on the savana?
leaking the declassified cross fire hurricane records to the entire world.
President Trump will realize sooner than later that this is the only option that will work.
to save the world, President Trump must do the unthinkable?
he must serve up a truth that is falsifiable that names people, places, times, locations motives, intent and criminal activity. 90 percent of it is already established.
the work of grennel and ratcliffe to declassify is the remaining 10.
He apparently possessing this 10.
He must leak them out, in any way he can imagine..and this needs to happen soon.
He must realize there is no circumstance where the corruptors are not going to indict and find him guilty. To think otherwise is to ignore reality.
So he must go with a nuclear option.
waiting will not help the situation…waiting will only contribute to cynicism and doubts.
The truth lies directly with President Trump. He must act. If not, this nation is lost and he goes down in history as the last bastard president. And no one will ever represent truth and THE PEOPLE.
The stakes could not be higher. The entire trajectory and future of American weighs in the balance.
to free the world, he must break it.
God Bless America
We will probably NOT recognize the name of the master, but it will be a close ally of the criminals in FBI/DOJ. It may well be a party NO ONE Can vet in a reasonable time, and it will never be provable that FBI/DOJ has paid that person many millions to do it their way. They cannot afford to lose…and they won’t.
“We will probably NOT recognize the name of the master, but it will be a close ally of the criminals in FBI/DOJ. “
Was just thinking …
‘Kevin Clinesmsith’
lol
I was going to post a big ho-hum to this court ruling. But your post nailed it.
Won’t it be someone from Florida ? The Order was written in a Florida District. I’m not a Lawyer…just sayin’
My sentiment exactly; spot on!
The ball is – at least for now – in Garland’s Goon Squad’s court.
Advantage Trump.
This is a big win for Trump. Dems are foaming at the mouth.
No it is not known yet who will win this skirmish, but with the dems judge bench pretty deep, I suspect the Pres is going to get another Mueller type fiasco.
And they will keep going to their bench until they get to judge Hench, as that is their standard MO.
Almost makes it a fair fight. However betcha DOJ has already copied everything but hopefully won’t be able to go on a fishing expedition.
They already HAD copies of everything, heck they have the originals, which have all been scanned into digital images, and it is copies of those which PDJT had.
The goal was not to GET the documents, it was to get them away from “Trump”.
Yep. , but Xerox, my first major employer came to the rescue.
Mine too! 1973.
The goal was also to discover Trump’s legal plans and options. Remember, the best defense is a good offense.
more specifically, to re-re-classify the evidence of criminal conduct at the FBI and DOJ (and several other agencies, orgs and people I would presume. More specifically, this re-re-classification attempt to to black hole these damning documents such that they can never be entered into or used in any court, criminal or civil.
this was never ABOUT taking material from MAL. The was about taking the actions necessary to promote a legal reasoning to have the material re-re-classified such that there are no to be used against the DOJ/FBI and other criminals.
jmho
God Bless America
I’m sure all seized documents went from MaL directly to the nearest Kinkos.
Trump has a winning hand on this one. Once the Stasi and their fake judge had to start releasing information, their “case” got weaker and weaker.
Oh Darn, The FBLIE and DuhJ Thugs can’t hide their illegal actions…now it’s all gonna be out in the open for all to see who the REAL Criminals are! AND they have to provide the names of anyone outside the FBLIE and DuhJ that has been privy to these documents…if it doesn’t include the Press getting Leaks, the Judge should hold the perps in contempt and throw them into PRISON until they learn to talk!
Forgive me but I will not be holding my breath for such an outcome given the increasing lawlessness of the feds.
jj, is that because every other time they have attacked PDJT, it has gone so well for them?
Have confidence, and trust in the Lord, I have a good feeling about this.
Thank you, Dutchman. Plan for the worst but hope (and pray) for the best. If I might include President Donald J. Trump in Bismarck’s famous quote:
“There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America.” – Otto von Bismarck —
As we seen over the years, it’s not unlawful to screw with 45. This regime stole our election, installed an incompetent Exectutive administration, then F’ed every citizen in the country.
For them it’s business as usual and dared anyone to do anything about it.
Hint…we haven’t won anything. When the entire FBI can do the bidding of a corrupt DOJ for the UniParty and RNC grooming politicians we don’t want, THEY are at WAR with US.
Let them fire the first shot. Otherwise, we will witness the aftermath of Fort Sumpter again. We own the high ground in this war.
You cannot win in a system that is financed and physically controlled by the enemy.
The system will never investigate and/or correct itself. It’s against the law of nature.
Did you ever hear of an organized crime boss go like “Hey guys, I’m disgusted by the way we did things in the past. So, from now on, we are going to stop all criminal activities, wind up our organization, return all the money and apologize to our victims”? Yeah, me neither…
The only way you can get a career criminal to quit is if he feels that the risk-reward ratio is totally unacceptable (i.e. a fear of death or lifelong incarceration, or better both).
And the criminals who run the DOJ and FBI feel like they’re invincible.
They laughed at the President Trump’s attempts to rectify the election fraud in front of the judges they fully control and they are laughing at him now trying to stop them again by appointing a special master (they had what they wanted or needed before they ransacked Mar-a-Lago, the actual search warrant was just a side show they put on to give their actions a veneer of credibility).
An FBI that has no problem to lie to a federal judge or falsify evidence most certainly has no issue with planting or fabricating them.
They know full well that any judge in DC won’t allow real defense and will be more than happy to violate the constitutional rights of the defendant if that defendant is Donald Trump or any members of his inner circle.
I guess what I’m getting at is if we cannot make them fear us, they won’t quit.
And they don’t care about our vote. They know it’s completely meaningless. It’s an illusion of choice.
Right. That list will be accurate for sure.
I guess it would depend on who is appointed as Special Master, but I’m sure given President Trump is making the request he’s already got that covered. I hope.
Bill BONDO Barr
Bingo!!! Great Minds Think Alike!
I’m hoping like heck that this means “Game On”!!!
How much of what the Panty Raiders stole will be marked with certain designation after they confiscated it ?
Or simply have extra (incriminating) documents placed in what was taken?
Same thought.
Rattle their cage!
Count on it, all the FBLIE’s actions in the RAID were recorded!
This is good news as I think it gets this whole thing out of the DC Courts and into the FL Courts.
It’s a good thing the FBI only said they removed 20 boxes.
“Well, it turns out, Your Honor, that 19 of them were empty and the last one contained the Nuclear SIOP and a preaddressed envelope to Kim Jong un…”
The judge better be prepared to meet an avalanche of lies, stalling, and outright fraud by the FBI and DOJ. Trump ain’t getting his papers back unless the judge starts holding FBI/DOJ officials in contempt and having them jailed.
Although I have serious doubts that Trump made copies of everything (or at least an inventory), it would be interesting to see if he can set them up as lying about what they took by producing an inventory of what he had…
The GSA, when moving the documents from the White House to Mara Lago are required to do a complete inventory. Let’s see where that goes…so if the FBLIE tries to stuff other documents into the boxes on the sly they will get busted…HARD!
No one got busted for anything…Clinesmith was charged with a Felony but then got his law license back.
Lawfare to Antifa, do biding of government you get a pass.
That ruling was truly disgusting.
Unless it was the GSA who slipped in some additional documents or removed some others.
They took his passports, Presidential raincoat, napkins!, I am sure the inventory is on camera.
Did they want to sell the raincoat and napkins on e-bay? What the heck!?
Imagine what Melaina’s panties would fetch?
DOJ doesn’t care about the results of this hearing. They already have the material. And have copies of everything. If they find anything of use to them, they will find another angle to bring it out. They will stop when somebody stops them, and not a second sooner
Finders keepers.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
Unless you are Trump.
It’s pointless to ask for permission, if you never need to beg for forgiveness.
When hung from a bridge, or heads on pikes
It’s about neutralizing Trump’s ability to use that material to defend himself and expose their corruption.
Exactly….exposure of the materials does not end well for the deep state, but saves the Republic.
It’s pathetic that a vast majority of the country only consumes the news that is spoon fed them by the media. However, that is the state of the average voter. They are not low info voters either, oh no’s. Ask any of them, they will argue based only on what they’ve been told in the “news”, with all the confidence of a seasoned trial attorney.
That is until you start giving them actual facts, then they will call you a transphobic racist and declare themselves the winner of the argument.
Oh, here’s what I get when I suggest people check out certain websites (such as our beloved Treehouse): “I listen to NPR.” Oh, I see….
The majority consumes no news at all.
They already had copies, they just didn’t want Trump to have them. I believe.
Imho,
based on f i b etc past performances,
they can pretend any story
that they imagine – and a media will help carry the water.
Thankfully,
many people are avoiding the ‘boy who called wolf’ acts…
I think you’re right. The goal is to stop Trump at all costs; stop his RICO case from advancing (having the evidence tied up), stop his lawsuit from advancing (see above), and to stop him from being a candidate for 2024.
I remember the words of Plouff “he and his kind must be destroyed” – that’s a paraphrase 🙂
Agree. What the last two years plus decades before have proven over and over again is the left does not care if it appears to lose at something. There is no hope whatsoever that the left will stop attacking because of any kind of loss. Total irreparable defeat on all fronts is the only thing that will stop them.
Trump has more copies of these documents.
Release them
And needs to release the video NOW! Read somewhere Trump was threatened if he released it
Eric Trump has gone on “the record” on more than one occasion, along with at least one of the attorneys, stating they will be releasing the video “when the time is right.”
osage, “patience francis”.
Don’t shoot till you see the whites of their eyes.
A # of people have been severely mauled or killed by a grizzly bear, despite being armed.
They shot at the bear as it charged towards them from some distance away.
Hitting a moving target isn’t easy, and almost everywhere you hitvthe bear, is only going to piss em off, if they even notice.
The largest bear killed in, IIRC Canada, or perhaps a province of Canada was killed when 2 ‘indians’ (native girls) were out picking berries, and noticed a bear staulking them.
They had a .22 rifle, I BELIEVE it was a single shot.
They waited until the bear was quite close, standing and roaring at them, and shot right in its open mouth, and blew out the hypothalmus, at the base of the brain/top of the skull.
There is absolutely no advantage to releasing the tapes now.
I lived up in AK for a good while amd am reminded of some advice I got from a grizzled old native. When out hiking always be armed with the biggest rifle you can carry, and a .45 with the front sight ground off. You can use the rifle to shoot at a fast moving target and miss, and then the pistol is your last line of defense. It is important to grind down the front sight so it hurts less when the bear shoves it up your ass.
I heard a similar story, but it had something to do with little bells. When out hiking, make sure you have those little bells laced into your shoes, so as you’re walking, the sound of the bells will scare the bears away.
The next thing to do is to look closely on the ground for bear scat, which will indicate if any bears are in the area. How can you tell bear scat from other animals, you ask? Well you can always tell by the fact it is the one with the little bells in it.
Rule #1.
When walking in the woods with potential bears, always be accompanied with someone that runs slower than you.
Preferably a democrat.
That is correct. One doesn’t necessarily have to run faster than the bear. One only needs to run faster than their partner.
Unfortunately, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, Washington Post, et. al., all have other allegiances and won’t disseminate to the public…go figure
I fully expect the DOJ to go to another level and judge to thwart this.
They cannot afford to lose on anything regarding Trump.
They will cheat in unimaginable ways to thwart this.
Watch for it….
I would assume the DOJ has already removed the most damning documents and will never admit they were in the boxes they took. “We have no record of ever having any such documents.”
Until the Trump teams produce inventories of what was there.
And then we get to find out if SOMEBODY, ANYBODY, in Trump’s orbit had half a brain and made copies.
The FBI and DOJ have to be at least marginally concerned that Trump can prove they’re lying to the court about what they took.
I’m in the camp that believes no copies were made. Hopefully, I get proven wrong. But quite frankly, if Trump had a bunch of stuff the FBI and DOJ feared, he should have released it in the middle of the second fake impeachment.
‘I’m in the camp that believes no copies were made.’ – Hokkoda
The preliminary, superficial indication of a random jumble of documents in boxes strikes a chord. It matches the boxes of files and documents in my storage shed, which somehow I never quote find the time to sort, given other, higher priorities.
A photo of Trump’s cluttered desk suggests that his ‘organization’ system is broadly similar to my own. 🙁
Another ignorant post. Why wouldn’t he/they make copies?
Why would you project your ignorance on Trump?
Isn’t there such a thing as a thumb drive?
Oh, Bother…
😉
Why wouldn’t he/they make copies? What an ignorant camp you’re in.
It’s almost time to have a fire at FBI headquarters. Sadly, all those Russia Hoax docs were lost in the fire, along with all the other incrimin…..I mean important documents.
And it will be blamed on those wascally “MVEs”—militia violent extremists, the current name for patriots.
Anyone remember the Reichstag fire?
Led to 23 million loosing their lives. It’s what roque governments do, until they’re stopped.
With 80k new bbrownshirt agents, I imagine a lot of lightening fires in the near future. Good for the goose…
Would love to see rookie IRS gun toting agents take on real warriors. They wouldn’t last 5 minutes.
That’s going to happen about 90% of the time the irs eunuchs make any kind of a move against a rural area
Yeah, “revenuers” have never been welcome in the back woods. They might actually get to see a real swamp up close.
What exactly will the IRS be coming to people home to look for
or get? Do they think people have the cash owe them
stashed at home?
Where is McVey, anyway?
see my note above about the GSA and their requirement to inventory everything!
That is the list Judge Cannon should demand.
The only “damning” documents they may have “already removed” are the ones they placed there. This is a set up. Nothing is to be believed from these people.
God Bless Trump !
Nobody EVER fought for us like this man.
NOBODY !

Some good news.
Hopefully, the usually omnipotent arrogant FBI home invaders will be very busy and annoyed at having to finally follow a (presumably) fair and impartial judge’s orders for detailed reports on all seized property especially determining how to justify many of the outrageous seizures.
Judge shopping and Special Master shopping has begun in earnest.
DOJ won’t even have to shop.
They’ll be lined up DEEEeeeeeeeeeeeep!
……or they’ve already been chosen!
Have you ever wondered what it is going to be like when all this ends? Or is it one of those things that never ends?
It seems to be heading somewhere I just hope I recognize when I’m “there”. But then there is no “there” because I am always “here”. I have come to the conclusion there is just no there, “there”. So, I’ll just have to take whatever it is from here.
It certainly seems like it will never end but nature never shirks its duties.
Hopefully, this phase will end well and long before nature intervenes.
I figured the FBI would snatch all of those incriminating Russia Hoax docs that Trump declassified .
Then, they would play the “hide the evidence” game with Congress and the American people.
Congressman, I can’t speak about an ongoing investigation. You’ve heard it before. You’ll hear it again.
Just a larger scale version of “Sandy Burglar” hiding Clinton’s papers in his socks. Did we ever find out what he took?
The only difference is the FBI did it “officially” to hide their complicity in illegally attempting to take down a sitting President of the United States. Even stealing the election wasn’t enough for Biden, Obama and their FBI/CIA friends. They cannot allow any evidence whatsoever that President Donald J. Trump was their victim not their abuser!
I think John Solomom already had access to all the original russia hoax documents (both declassified and non public) after Trump requested that he have such access and Solomon said they (national archive) were cooperating. I could be wrong but I was sure I read that somewhere. Didnt Trump only have copies of those original docs? I’m so confused about that. I hear or read he had originals in some places and only copies in other. I believe he was only legally allowed to have copies and originals had to go to the archives.
?? Not me. I do not accept “whatever” – Eph. 6:12
By God bully, bully for you tiger.
At some point we all die, that is when it will end.
I’m not sure Trump wants it to end anytime soon. He’s certainly getting some mileage from dominating the news cycles to raising money. He’s getting plenty of free campaign ads from it as people get more and more outraged about it.
Wait until the judge reads the affidavit and finds out there is no PC for the search.
First Satan created the Gestapo. Then Satan created the FBI and declared it to also be one of his very finest inventions, and along with Gestapo Agents, FBI Agents to be among his very favorite pets.
Correction: FBLIE.
Nope…men created the Gestapo and FBI.
And, the FBI was created long before the Gestapo.
Judge Cannon. . .Boom!
Lawfare just got serious.
If the GSA is the entity that catalogued and packed the boxes of records that eventually ended up
in Mar A Lago, then the question is what matches their records versus what was confiscated in the patently illegal raid.
Unless the GSA planted something…
This too has crossed my mind.
Wasn’t it the GSA that gave PDJT’s transition docs to Meuller?
Thank God! Patriots need to protect her! Praying for her safety 🙏❤️🇺🇸
“Filter Team” objective:
“GET . TRUMP”
Rule 53. Masters
(b) Order Appointing a Master.
(1) Notice. Before appointing a master, the court must give the parties notice and an opportunity to be heard. Any party may suggest candidates for appointment.
…
One potential disqualification issue is peculiar to the master’s role. It may happen that a master who is an attorney represents a client whose litigation is assigned to the judge who appointed the attorney as master.
Other parties to the litigation may fear that the attorney-master will gain special respect from the judge. A flat prohibition on appearance before the appointing judge during the time of service as master, however, might in some circumstances unduly limit the opportunity to make a desirable appointment.
These matters may be regulated to some extent by state rules of professional responsibility. The question of present conflicts, and the possibility of future conflicts, can be considered at the time of appointment.
Depending on the circumstances, the judge may consider it appropriate to impose a non-appearance condition on the lawyer-master, and perhaps on the master’s firm as well.
🤔
Mea Culpa..

“ Rule 53. Masters (b) Order Appointing a Master.”
Rule 303….shoot straight you bastards, don’t make a mess of it
In an important first step towards addressing Biden’s abuse of Trump, judge announces ‘preliminary intent to appoint a special master’ to review Trump records seized by FBI. This is yet another major defeat for Garland’s gang at DOJ
Just remember this is without question the most corrupt government in America’s history , it is stacked from the very top to the very bottom with the most vile and reprehensible people ever assembled who will stop at nothing to destroy this country and anybody standing between them which happens to be Trump and 3/4 of America’s population .
The individual who’s most responsible …………… the Kenyan born anti American Islamic terrorist Obama. There’s a reason Obama chose Biden as a running mate , Obama needed somebody who was as committed to destroying this country as he was. Somebody who had a long history of corruption and knew who all the corrupt players were so Obama could appoint them to all the important government positions and that’s exactly what happened .
When Biden and Obama said they were going to transform the country it didn’t mean “For the better” . There’s a very good reason neither ever expanded on what that meant .
“When Biden and Obama said they were going to transform the country…”
___________________
Biden didn’t say that, OBAMA DID. ‘
Old Joe was just along for the ride… he still is.
You’re partly correct Obama did originally say it but Biden has repeatedly said after becoming the illegitimate President . He said it just a week ago or so again.
We do not have a government at the moment.
He said: “WE are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” Definition for “fundamentally” —English dictionary definition of fundamentally. adj. 1. a. Of or relating to the foundation or base; elementary: the fundamental laws of the universe.
The foundation or the fundamental laws of the United States of America is the U.S. Constitution.
That is and has been their goal for a century!
Does it really matter?? President Trump will never in this world get a FAIR ruling on anything they make up against him…. All of this is and has been garbage against him… Most of it thrust upon him by killary…. I believe she’s possessed, because no human being could be as evil as she is… and it will no doubt be a clinton “judge” that will make the ruling…or bush or obummer… all just as evil IMO.
Trump came up with Space Force and I don’t think it was to chase fly-saucers around the moon. The bottom line in all this is “Treason”. The Military has to get involved somewhere down the line with its Tribunals. IMO, that is where eventually all this is heading….. if not then what?
Soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box.
This is nuts!!! Since when are court papers on WhatsApp?
Evil enough to stay with her man, who raped women, for the sole purpose thinking she would be president.
I think she did worse.

Trump just got a favorable ruling and this is all taking place in Florida, not Washington DC , so there is hope for a neutral or fair Judge.
I believe he also filed something about the invasion and the violation of his rights under the 4th Amendment. I am surprised the Feds got the warrant in Florida. You’d think they’d have wanted to keep it all close to home in the Swamp.
Curious about things taken besides documents, like napkins, passports, Trump’s raincoat. Pretty poor behavior executing a search warrant. It is all on film, including their invasion of Melania’s clothing…There is not a woman alive whose blood does not boil over that search.
.
thankfully, she’s a Trump-appointed judge. Thefederalist.com ran an informative piece sating that Reinhart didn’t actually have the authority to sign the warrant, but in the current climate of lawlessness, perhaps the corrupt fascists thought no one would notice…
It’s beyond me how anyone sees this as a “win” for Trump. Every last sheet of paper has already been rifled thru by dozens of DOJ/FBI gestapo over the past 3 weeks. New lawfare schemes have been brewing for those 3 weeks based on what was found, and/or planted.
Requesting a special master, weeks after it’s over? Incredibly weak. If this was a same-day filing, it would still be weak, but at least compentent representation for a President. This is total incopetence at best, sabatage at worst.
Mike Davis, Tom Fitton, Barnes Law and other have been laying out actual legal arguments that would humiliate the DOJ and get documents back. Instead, we have: “Pretty please, let us have a special master review the documents the DOJ took!” What a sad sack of worthless, spineless, 9-5 attorneys.
Unless of course it is all part of the biggest “sting” operation in the history of the World.
TRUST Sessions.

what, no meme?
“U.S. District Court Judges have no standing. Next!” — SCOTUS (“please don’t stack the court — we’ll do anything …”)
An earlier CTH entry from poster “sync” notes that Mr. Fitton of Judicial Watch described a 2012 ruling against Judicial Watch involving the Clinton tapes, which establishes that the President, not the National Archives, has the authority to declare whether records are personal.
“NARA does not have the authority to designate materials as ‘Presidential records,’” Judge Jackson wrote in 2012. “NARA does not have the tapes in question, and NARA lacks any right, duty, or means to seize control of them.”

The Obama-appointed “magistrate” overruled the only official Federal Judge-written caselaw on point.
What is also important is that:
1. the FBI APPARENTLY FAILED TO NOTIFY THE biased magistrate of this holding, which they are duty-bound to do because they have a duty of “CANDOR” to the ‘magistrate’, and this duty is heightened because this is a “secret proceeding” in which the ‘defendant’ is not represented. The DOJ/FBI have an even further severely heightened duty of Candor to find and disclose adverse caselaw because this involves an attack on a former President raising Constitutional issues way beyond this ‘”magistrate’s” pay and authority grade. This adverse, controlling Bill Clinton case is easy to find, because it is the only case directly on point. The FBI/DOJ may claim they are incompetent to ‘find’ this case, but they could not possibly be that incompetent in the age of electronic case-searching. In any event, the duty of candor presumes knowledge of such adverse caselaw when appropriate. The FBI/DOJ must have effectively, intentionally withheld this case from the biased ‘magistrate’ (not ‘Court’).
2. ANY direct caselaw by an actual District Court Judge should be BINDING on a so-called “magistrate” with questionable authority for non-clerical actions. This biased magistrate, KNOWING this was a Constitution-intense and “political” maneuver, apparently did not look up the caselaw, either – He just rubberstamped the politically-biased FBI secret warrant. The magistrate should do a caselaw search in a ‘warrant against a president’, but did not, either through incompetence or bias. However, a ‘magistrate’ should have the right to rely on the “Candor” duty of the DOJ/FBI to advise of the caselaw. The DOJ/FBI lawyers should be sanctioned by an actual District Court Judge (who the ‘magistrate reports to) for misleading the magistrate and violating the duty of Candor.
So-called ‘magistrates’ should only process VERY routine matters which do not require making new law or interpretations, or overruling actual decisions by real Federal Judges appointed by a President and approved by Congress. Non-routine , non-clerical matters should be referred to an actual Federal Judge vetted by Congress and appointed by a President as required by the Constitution. That this case went to, and was retained by a ‘magistrate clerk’, is very sketchy, reflects poorly on the Court administration, and should be investigated by Congress.
The issuance of this warrant is an impertinence in cahoots with the biased FBI/DOJ, which should be withdrawn as improvidently granted by an actual Federal Judge.
https://www.americanbar.org/groups/litigation/committees/ethics-professionalism/practice/2021/candor-toward-the-tribunal-the-duty-to-cite-adverse-authority/ describes “Candor Toward the Tribunal: The Duty to Cite Adverse Authority”.
Also see ABA Standard 3-3.3 Relationship With Courts, Defense Counsel and Others:
“b) When ex parte communications or submissions are authorized, the prosecutor should inform the court of material facts known to the prosecutor, including facts that are adverse, sufficient to enable the court to make a fair and informed decision.”
Excellent info…if anyone would be applying the law.
Let us hope Cannon will thoroughly review.
I still maintain, based on information we know, on their behavior, that they DID NOT expect thiscraid to become public knowledge.
Everything we observed, the 24 hours of silence, the hostage video statement, taken in total is NOT the responce of people expecting and prepared for anything like this level of public scrutiny.
And if thats the case, then they also had that mindset, when they prepared the signed affidavit they submitted to the Judge, which is just like under oath testimony, and under “pains and penalties of perjury”, and when they wrote the warrant and picked the magistrate.
I also note that Eric, I think said the TRUMP family watched the search, on closed circuit from Bedminster?
Obviously I don’t live at anything like their level, but wonder why they would have such a set up?
To catch a maid, stealing baubles? The place already has Secret Service, plus Club security, just seems like “overkill” to have such a closed circut “feed”?
It’s a trap! Rebel Admiral Ackbar -Star Wars
Many ‘ordinary’ people have a video feed to their phones or internet, from cheap surveillance cameras.
The secret service also likely has a recorded feed to HQ of PDJT’s regular haunts.
Of course the FBI/DOJ knew a raid on PDJT’s home would be publicized, by both the ‘left’ (in glee) and those who believe in the Constitution and equal protection and application of the Constitution and the laws.
Note that bill clinton’s sock drawer is protected by a Federal District Court opinion, but not Melania’s closet.
It should be added to my comment above, that the DOJ attorneys who signed off on this raid without informing the ‘magistrate-clerk’ about the only caselaw directly on point, should be sanctioned under “Rule 11” type ethics violation for withholding adverse information, and seeking “new law” from a magistrate-clerk contrary to a previous actual Federal Court holding in the Bill Clinton “sock drawer” case. This case was “won” by the DOJ/Federal counsel, so their briefing representations to the Court in that case should be on file IN THE DOJ ITSELF. Review of the pleadings and representations by the DOJ/Federal Counsel in that case should seal the necessity for sanctions and discipline against the DOJ, including AG garland who signed off on it) for withholding this case citation.
We have an un-sophisticated set up to watch our pups when we are away… I think it’s quite realistic for President Trump to have a very *sophisticated* system at MAL..
Welp! I read about this earlier tonight and thought it “positive”, “good news”, “moving in the right direction”, “a win”.
Then, I see Sundance has posted it and I read it, moved along to the comments.
Shaking my head, rolling my eyes. I have no idea where some of these ideas come from.
The negativity just slaps me in the face, left and right.
Not every judge is owned by the evil-doers of the Swamp. I’m going with PDJT and his A-Team. My hunch is that he has a whole host of attorneys who have the expertise necessary to get the job done.
This just makes the DOJ/FBI look worse and worse; they will regret their actions on August 8, 2022.
Sadly your post makes me think of an old saying, “‘every judge is owned by the evil doers‘ It’s a triumph of hope over experience.”
abigail;
I have yet to see any ‘downside’ for PDJT, beyond having his stuff rummaged thru.
Having video of those idiots rummaging, depending on what it shows, in and of itself may well offset that ‘damage’.
Particularly given the long list of PDJT’s enemies that stepped up, ON CAMERA, to “defend the honor, integrity and professionalism of the FBI.
There are certainly those who seem insistent on not just seeing the glass as half empty, but as shattered.
You hang in there, and don’t listen to those nattering nabobs of negativity!
Unfortunately for the “justice” system in the US these days, the first question you have to ask is who appointed the judge.

BIAS? U.S. Patent And Trademark Office Rejects Trump’s Truth Social Trademark Application (thegatewaypundit.com)
This entire “government” is a corrupt POS.
Yes, I saw that, and it ticked me off royally! Please, Lord, give our President Trump some good news! They keep throwing ridiculous crap at him. Please give him strength.
A little late now. The FBI has had what, 2 weeks, to copy and scan everything they took, so even if a Special Master says they can’t have it, they’ll still have it, and will conveniently leak it to the press. This should have been done day 1.
The judge completely ignored this. Time is of the essence.
Oh, for CRIPES SAKE.
WHAT part of they already have all of the originals don’t you understand?
As for ‘leaking it to the press’? They DO NOT want the documents made public, so WHY would they leak it to the press?
Leak it?
Yes please!
Hopefully the judge names Sundance as Special Master
Ooh…he’d be awesome! I vote for Sundance!!
And what will compel the justice department to cooperate with this judge.
These people are lawless and I am completely convinced nothing will change until the good people take charge.
Perhaps the uS Marshalls will have to come visit the FBI or maybe Border Patrol will come collect the papers?
The Mar-a-Lago case could get interesting,
https://meaninginhistory.substack.com/p/the-mar-a-lago-raid-case-could-get
Read the article from thee link above, and then another link at the end of that article.
Says PDJT’s lawyers wrote a letter, back in May, to be atttached to any subpoena or search warrant application.
So, that means PDJT and his lawyers anticipated this search warrant and siezure of documents, in MAY.
Actually , that material is all very good – One major point is Biden supposedly “revoking” Executive Privilege of a prior President (I.e. President Trump and without the consent of the revokee ) and thus giving the FBI a mouse hole to go through for the affidavit reasons . How can THAT be constitutional ? Like a King’s edict ? That is unbelievable if Biden Admin . Intends to Argue that President Trump CAN’T claim Executive Privilege for any documents BECAUSE the Biden Admin . had unilaterally and ex post facto previously revoked it?!
I would think Executive Privilege once acquired by being a President can be waived by THAT individual, Or if invoked , found not to apply by a court to a particular situation but it can’t be REVOKED unilaterally by a 3rd party , even another President . The affected party would need to consent at a minimum But what do I know ?
So much for Karl Rove’s confident assertion this wouldn’t happen. He Karl, eat SH!T and die.
I hope that ‘detailed list of items seized’ is published.
Trump’s ‘Charlie’s Angles’ attorney(s) say we need a Special Master who’s not a Democrat or Republican, that leaves a wishy wash, flip-flopping ‘Independent’ type. I prefer a non-RINO, real republican type. But this is all a ‘lawyer type’ waste of time, the DOJ has his files and are not going to cooperate. Like Newt said, ‘They will indict PDJT, he is not going to get that 2nd term’. Meanwhile, his son-in-law his hawking his own 1st term memories.
I want to be hopeful that this is extremely good news, so I’m going to be. For me, it’s fantastic news until it’s not. Sept 1 is not that far away and we’ll all know for sure by then.
By now they have had plenty of time to manufacture “evidence” like they manufactured the Russian Hoax. Not sure where we go from here. The American Stasi is deeply entrenched and has plenty of supporters. That affidavit was an insult to the American People.
That will be fun to watch if President Trump and his Team paid attention to detail when documenting materials he holds at ALL his properties. As with ALL things Federal there are reports on materials held, it is a certainty President Trump and his Team were always held to reporting requirements, meaning they have same lists and reports as the ones the Feds will have to “adjust” along with any evidence they try to create.
It also a certainty, President Trump was subjected to multiple inspections and inventories. Nancy Pelosi’s threat in November 2020 was no idle threat about arresting him for removing the smallest item from the White House that was not his property.
Before making witty comments, a description of a Special Master is at following link.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_master
Judge Cannon may be one of the President Trump appointees who may rule fairly. Plus, the “Special Master” she appoints would actually report to her and it appears somehow related to the local Federal District Court. This one is a wait and see who comes to dinner given she had to pass through the Shanghai Mitch McConnell filter to being confirmed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileen_Cannon
Here is infor about Judge Aileen Cannon. President Trump nominated her. She is a member of The Federalist Society:
https://ballotpedia.org/Aileen_Cannon
The “law” in the US has become nothing but a complete, freaking joke.
Celebrate those small victories because they could turn into BIG ones. Glad to hear about this judge! Thanks.
Also, Judge Cannon’s chambers are in Ft. Pierce but she ordered the hearing to be at the West Palm Beach courthouse:

Most of the confiscated documents will never be found again. I just hope DJT has multiple copies he can present in court if our country holds together long enough for real justice to be served.
We can’t keep doing the same things, day in and day out, then expect different results, can we?
The criminals who run the DOJ and FBI know they can get away with anything because of the corrupt D.C. courts and radical left juries willing to ignore the law.
But we don’t seem to get it.
Instead, we prefer to watch Trump litigating moot points and foregone conclusions using B- and C-team lawyers for the next few years in a legal system that is financed and physically controlled by the enemy instead of actually doing what’s necessary (and long overdue) since November 2020…
Where are all the bright, honest, intelligent Americans ready to step in and save the nation and lead the way?
We don’t have people like that in this country anymore.
