A comprehensively corrupt and politically motivated U.S. Justice Department has appealed the part of Judge Cannon’s previous order appointing a special master with authority to review documents the FBI collected at Mar-a-Lago last month. [Appeal for ‘stay’ pdf motion Here]
The corrupt and politically motivated Lawfare prosecutors state they have serious concerns about handing government secrets to a third party and will not allow it.
In essence, the DOJ-NSD, an agency within the justice department created by Eric Holder, is claiming no one outside the DOJ-NSD should be allowed to review the documents they have defined as “national security” interests. Main Justice really, really doesn’t want anyone seeing what the DOJ-NSD are defining.
The DOJ lawyers begin by telling the judge she must respond to them on their timeline, or else they will go to the eleventh circuit court of appeals and have them block her ruling. Do as we say, or else…
The majority of the rest of the motion for the Judge to stay her own prior ruling, surrounds various claims of national security compromise.
If the DOJ is forced to let an independent arbiter look at what they are doing, irreparable harm may ensue.
When the agency in power to seize documents, seizes documents that carry evidence of the corruption within the agency by weaponizing tactical lawfare to keep evidence of their corrupt activities from the public, this is what happens.
Our justice system was politically weaponized by Barack Obama and Eric Holder. The aftermath of their compromise has collapsed the credibility and authority of the institution; however, most people just haven’t admitted it yet.
Perhaps Judge Cannon will.
Judge Cannon should appoint Michael Mukasey today as the Special Master and let the DOJ suck it. I would think he still has the necessary security clearances and would be hard to unseat given his credentials.
Durham. Heh.
He was my choice from the get go.
Beria would love these people
There are numerous references to harming “national security and the public”. The only security at stake here is the Deep State’s. As a member of the public, my security is not compromised, so I’d, just as soon, the public be left out of their motions.
I really believe that the DOJ/FBI seized a big double handful of nothing and are now trying justify their actions by manufacturing evidence. I’m sure that Trump has all declassified documents, spelling out the crimes and criminals perpetrated against him, in a very safe place.
He could have scanned them all and put them on a thumb drive on his keychain.
The scotus justice overseeing the 11th circuit is Clarence Thomas.
The 11th is about 50/50 in appointments by dems vs reps.
“We respectfully request a stay of your order because we’ve already started leaking the alleged contents of the “classified material” to the press and if we are not allowed to continue to do so we may not be able to sway the mid-term election as we hope to.”
This is all so predictable.
“Threat to national security” has become the government’s wild card whenever it wants to throw a blanket over its wrongdoing. It’s beyond absurd.
Is it not an obvious and greater threat to our “security” to permit federal agents to conduct raids of homes and seize private, personal and privileged material with no oversight?
In this instance, the ONLY potential “irreparable harm” from a special master reviewing the confiscated documents is to the credibility and integrity of the FBI and DOJ.
Where is the Durham report???
5 years later…..crickets.
It’s doing exactly what USAG Bagpipes Barr intended from the start. Quietly running out the clock.
They need to prepare to get that to the SCOTUS after the scumwhore circuit judge does their bidding.
Lying scumbags. It is infuriating.
The system would work if all the rules applied to all.
It’s interesting to watch where people finally have had enough of the corruption. I have yet to see it happen.
The elected incoming promise us change but after a few weeks they grab hands with the criminals and hold on. Not a bit of morality among them all.
And what is morality at this point? Was war with Japan and Germany moral? Hanging Hussein, was that moral? We are on totally different playing fields with these communist. How many have they killed now who opposed them? While no justice is served on the perpetrators. I’m not sure we can take back our country unless we step up our game somehow.
After the November midterms people will really see how dire things are. There’s a point of view these “elections” are going to be some sort of savior.
Leslie Mcadoo Gordon tweeted that the 11 th circuit is very restrictive on appeals for special masters and the Judge really has to go outside her discretion to get overturned.
These idiot employees should be terminated when we pubbies regain control of our government.
Sadly, government employee unions would disagree.
Proposal: Appoint JOHN RATLIFF, former Director of National Intelligence, as the Special Master. Ratliff has the experience and security clearances to review the documents and determine what is and what is not vital to the national security. He has likely seen most of the documents and will understand the bigger picture they fit into.
Per the Appeal, the Biden adminstration’s Director of National Intelligence, a Biden political appointee, is assessing the documents for the Biden administration. The chance that assessment will be without prejudice to Trump is about nil. But if the government wishes to maintain that Biden’s political appointee is not biased against Trump, then surely John Ratliff must be assumed to be equally unbiased for Trump. The Dems will demand a double standard, and that demand must be rejected.
And now, a Clinton appointed blackrobe has DISMISSED President Trump’s case against the clinton.
The doj is 10000% CORRUPT.
Judge Cannon……The.Big.Gun.
The only surprise here in the DOJ response is they didn’t demand Emmet Sullivan be appointed as the Special Master.
The special master is kind of a moot point now, I am sure the FBI & DOJ have reviewed and copied everything they stole in the illegal raid. They have inserted all their fake “classified” documents into the mix for later, shocking release.
The horse is already out of the barn and galloping down the road. Unless someone grows a spine and starts prosecuting these rogue agencies, nothing is going to change and we will officially become North Korea.
Makes you wonder what Garland and the Dems are so afraid of…if their Mar-A-Lago raid was so justified and they found the things they said they did then why would they object to a Special Master? I would think theyd be thrilled that some independent judge would look at their findings and confirm them, thus erasing Republican skepticism of their means and methods. Unless, of course……..
Yep. And they’ve lost pretty much every battle so far to conceal what they are doing. They had to release the warrant and supporting info. They had to release the affidavit – heavily redacted, which only made them look more guilty of a cover-up. They’re being forced to use a Special Master. They hate that because a S/M would review every document for “privileged” information (executive AND attorney-client privileged), so the S/M would quickly uncover the true purpose of the smash and grab robbery.
I don’t know of Judge Cannon knows much about security clearances, but it is a federal crime to use security classification markings to conceal illegal conduct. She would need a S/M to ALSO evaluate whether documents with classified markings are genuinely “classified” and not simply attempts by the DOJ and FBI to cover up illegal conduct.
That would be a hoot to see. She cannot accept at face value that a security classification marking is, in and of itself, LEGITIMATE.
Don’t know if it’s true but read Trump has documents they want but he has them somewhere else
My only problem with this is… The DOJ was politically weaponized long before Holder or Obama got to it.
That history goes back a century…
The only two variable that changed, 1 They (slightly) flipped the script on targeting. 2 Both parties agreed and passed the legislation to make it happen.
The government is protecting the government… And it’s two party dynasty.
But yer honor, Orange Man Bad!
The United States of America is the defendant?
DOJ running scared? What are they trying to hide? Guess!
These people need to be squashed, like bugs.
Past time for an Article V Convention of States. Time to do our duty as the Founders laid out for us in our founding documents.
I hope it pisses her off and she goes MAGA on datass and doubles down
Waco told me all I needed to know about the FBI and their total lack of regard for innocent Americans and the Constitution.
Is the eleventh circuit compromised?!
No one ever mentions that Biden appointed Attorney General Merrick Garland, who personally approved the raid on President Trump’s house, missed out on being appointed to the SCOTUS after Justice Antonin Scalia, a conservative, died just before the 2016 Trump / Clinton election. The Republican controlled Senate refused to accept any nominations from Obama saying it was too close to the election. The rest is history when Trump got to appoint three conservative justices by fate. Garland thinks be will still be appointed in the furure, and surely has a deep seated grudge against Trump.
Democrat terms:
Democracy=autocracy
National Security= Democrat political security.
Real national security breachers, Biden, his son, Milley, Mayorkass, Kerry, and most of the Democrats in the House and Senate
