On Monday, the judge handling the case of the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago raid made an official decision to appoint a special master to review the documents seized. That came after she dropped a preliminary notice that she intended to do so at the end of August.
The DOJ’s subsequent arguments apparently weren’t very convincing, and now they will be forced to cease their investigation as the process plays out. The judge found numerous instances of privileged material making it through the government’s filter team, and revelations that medical records and tax returns were taken only provided more reason to move ahead with a special master.
Besides, as the judge essentially said in her decision, what can the move hurt? The special master will have a security clearance, and they won’t be leaking to the press what they’ve found. How is too much transparency a bad thing?
No matter, because the decision favored Trump, that meant that the left was thrown into fits of apopletic rage. Here are a few of the highlights.
When I seem cynical that anything bad will happen to this man ever, THIS IS WHY.
I'm not trying to be a "downer" and I'm not trying to suppress the vote and I'm not being defeatist.
I am being clear-eyed and rational about what REPUBLICAN CONTROL OF THE COURTS actually means.

I'm imploring everyone to understand these are not normal times and a Trump-appointed judge delaying an espionage investigation into Trump cannot be treated as business as usual.
Assume all individuals associated with Trump — including his nominees — are accomplices.

Isn’t it great to know that criticizing judges is allowed again? I’m old enough to remember when it was a threat to “democracy” to suggest a judge ruling a certain way demonstrated bias and was grounds for dismissal. Yet, the calls for impeachment have already begun. Apparently, this judge, according to the “experts” on the left, has usurped the sacred executive power of the DOJ to do whatever the heck it wants to its political opponents.
Judge single-handedly blocks criminal investigation, usurping clear cut executive power. This is a clear-cut impeachable offense.

Ornstein, who is an “emeritus scholar” and editor at The Atlantic (lol), also accused the judge of “obstruction of justice.” Yes, the judge in charge of the document dispute is now obstructing justice in her own court by having a special master examine the documents to ensure proper privilege was observed. It’s so stupid, it hurts.
Then there was Andrew Wiessmann, who headed up the Robert Mueller investigation, gnashing his teeth while providing no logical reason why having a special master is a bad thing.
Cannon uses existence of a small number of personal items found in search (and properly seized pursuant to warrant) to find standing to review ALL docs including vast majority that are STOLEN.

Weissmann is the perfect example of the level of corruption and bias that existed at the DOJ under Donald Trump and continues to exist today by those still at the department. They truly believe they are above the law, to the point where they’ll attack a judge for making what is ultimately a fairly mundane ruling. Besides, is Weissmann even right? Did the search warrant allow the seizure of tax documents and medical records? That seems questionable.
The protestations of the left say one thing: Due process goes out the window when dealing with the bad orange man. He’s not allowed to file a motion and have it granted. In fact, that must mean the judge is in his pocket and has to be removed from office.
That’s how insane the far-left has become. For all their talk of defending “democracy,” there is no part of it they aren’t willing to burn down if it results in one of their political wants. That should give Americans observing this spectacle immense pause. Are these the kinds of people you want in charge? People with no boundaries and who will use the force of the government to crush you if you so much as disagree with them?
"Waaaaaa! Waaaaa waaaaa...why does it have to be so hard to frame and persecute an innocent man? Whyyyyy waaaaaaa...."
Just wait, copies of those medical records are sure to show up at the Bezo Post and/or the new york slimes. The tax records have already been faxed to the SDNY office for Letisha to look at.
How could an outrageous charge be leveled with out this gem.
I only wonder where the "racist" label is hiding?
Iran will be the first to use nukes.
Or perhaps labeled: "ULTRA TOP SECRET! PRESIDENT BIDEN'S
NOSE ONLY! CONTENTS TO BE SNIFFED BY POTUS ONLY!"
It’s a breath of fresh air!
A lot of folks were sure he would be indicted fairly soon!
Let’s rejoice in the wins!
And PRAY!!!!
“... Andrew Wiessmann, who headed up the Robert Mueller investigation, gnashing his teeth ...”
Because the Special Master appointment will delay any indictment until after the midterm election
The Special Master will also look at what all the FBI took (passports, medical records, etc.) and be able to report the ANTI-4th Amendment protocols taken which allowed such confiscation!
What the FBI, with the help of this Liberal judge, was CRIMINAL - PERIOD!
This is a worse “insurrection” than what happened on Jan 6. An example of why you don’t follow illegal orders can be made here.
Every agent involved should be arrested and allowed to rot in jail for a couple of years before given a trial.
Israel will prevent that.
“The Rats will be running scared after November 8.”
The Rats May be running scared but, if Republicans take over the House, what will stop the Dems from passing a massive number of bills into law before the end of the year?
I remember when the Rats lost the House for the first time in 40 years back in the 90’s, they used the lame duck session to get a lot done. Republicans, on the other hand, just went home for an early vacation when the House went back to the Dems in the early 2000’s
Dems fight. Republicans mostly collude or just give up.
They will say that was different...
You know what’s particularly galling is when guys like his Andrew Weissmann and Merrick Garland act like Nazis. Both of these guys should know better considering the Jewish history of the last 100 years. They should go visit Ann Frank’s house in Amsterdam go to the concentration camps in Austria and Germany. They should go back and review their bar mitzvah commitments. When Jews act like Nazis makes my meager Jewish DNA want to puke. The Germans got the name but some of these crazy Jewish assholes in this country are playing the game. As we are witnessing right now before our very eyes. Farkakta schmucks
So now the DNC has Trumps medical and tax records, great
“these crazy Jewish assholes in this country are playing the game”
Guess even some Jews will act like Nazis in order to get Trump.
Trump prevailing will be a ‘holocaust’ for liberals.
It’s really sick. The word Gustapa should never be used in the same sentence with an American Jew. I am
Thanks RACPE.
I thought 13 was the upper age limit for Brandon.
It’s fake rage. They’ll somehow get a neverTrump partisan to be the “Special Master”...
Knowing his ego,I bet once in awhile he looks into the mirror and smiles.....I TERRIFY THEM......
