The left is losing its mind over the Special Master and here’s why

I am really enjoying the frothing of the mouths of liberals today on Twitter. They are losing their minds over the Special Master ruling

U.S. District Judge from the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen M. Cannon ordered that the special master be appointed to "review the seized property, manage assertions of privilege and make recommendations thereon, and evaluate claims for return of property."

They have let loose a torrent of outrage:

I expressed no opinion about whether the District Court judge would deny the Special Master request because I knew who she was. However, I now express my opinion that the appellate court will reverse because, no matter who appointed them, they won’t sign on to that drivel.

In the likely event the Department of Justice decides to appeal, I cannot imagine that Judge Cannon’s ruling will be upheld by the 11th Circuit.

This is in interesting article, even thought the policy does not apply to an investigation of someone not running for office in the midterms or close family member. Even if it did, nothing prohibits investigative steps that are not public, e.g. serving grand jury subpoenas, etc. https://t.co/nw2QyCDY7u

The judge didn't have jurisdiction. And Trump doesn't have standing, because the feds took property that was THEIRS, not his.

Just a few minor details.
— Tristan Snell (@TristanSnell) September 5, 2022

Note: The FBI took medical records, Attorney/Client privileged documents and tax documents.

New details: the judge “noted, for example, that among the government records seized by the F.B.I., agents found some of Mr. Trump’s ‘medical documents, correspondence related to taxes, and accounting information.’” https://t.co/bDBFq5OZuY

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.
— Andrew Weissmann 🌻 (@AWeissmann_) September 5, 2022

This is the same abusive Andrew Weissman you knew from his trying to frame Trump in the Russian collusion scheme. Here and here.

I kept an open mind. I really did. But reading Judge Cannon’s ruling left my jaw on the floor in its absurdity. Unless the federalist society wants to argue that this precedent would only apply to trump, this ruling would demolish future white collar criminal investigations…

I’m just waiting for the Trump-appointed Judge to name Devin Nunes as the Special Master now.
— Ron Filipkowski 🇺🇦 (@RonFilipkowski) September 5, 2022

Exactly. I’d underscore: Her decision was utterly lawless. She has disgraced her position as an Article III judge. https://t.co/Z7F38NlqgF

DOJ should propose Magistrate Judge Reinhart as the Special Master. Make Judge Cannon show her stripes if she is going to reject him.
— Andrew Weissmann 🌻 (@AWeissmann_) September 5, 2022

Linked to Epstein, Bruce Reinhart posted anti-Trump messages on social media.

Per earlier tweets my worst fears were that Judge Cannon would use her court to thank Trump for her appointment AND maybe she’d channel Justice Kavanaugh on Executive Privilege. She did both. Worse: She treats Donald like he’s special, not just a citizen! She’s not done justice!
— John W. Dean (@JohnWDean) September 5, 2022

Some are really taking it hard.

Judge Cannon is a corrupt Federalist Society hack She was appointed by Trump AFTER he lost precisely to protect him

Her jurisdiction is nowhere near Mar-a-Lago

Radical right wing activist judges like Cannon, Barrett, Kavanaugh & Alito are demolishing our republic w each ruling
— Lindy Li (@lindyli) September 5, 2022

Anyone surprised that Judge Cannon—a Trumpist judge who was rushed to confirmation with Amy Coney Barrett by McConnell & who was rated unqualified by the American Bar Association—just shredded the Constitution on Trump’s behalf? Fascists stay loyal to fascists not to our country

Now for the why.

Joe Biden ordered the raid on his political opponent

[Jim W N]

The Left lost its mind a long time ago.

[nwrep]

Eichenwald, Weissmann, Haberman.

[kiryandil]

Laurence Tribe, drooling senile POS.

[kiryandil]

Kurt “TentacleBoy” Eichenwald...

[MercyFlush]

The left has declared war on us. The only thing they haven’t done yet is mass executions...unless you count the mRNA shot.

[skeeter]

Doesn’t this ruling derail the rats strategy down the 2022 campaign home stretch?

The feds can’t proceed with their bogus Trump prosecution, and indictment for the cameras, until the Master has completed their investigation?

[z3n]

There are many unspoken truths in our current political climate, and they can all be boiled down to one concept; Win at all costs. Everyone knows this state exists, but most people, paricularly those more directly involved in the systems and processes around politics, wont openly admit it.

Unspoken truth #1) Republicans are guilty. They should be given as few rights and as little due process as possible.

Unspoken truth #2) Democrats are not guilty.
1) ignore all accusations
2) do not investigate
3) NO MATTER WHAT, do no prosecute

Unspoken truth #3) Trump is very very guilty. He is very effective and by far the biggest threat to the left in generations. He must be stopped at all costs. There are no rules. There is no honor. Everyone knows this, on both sides.

[ArtDodger]

Until the ‘Master’ has looked over things, the left cannot use any of the ‘evidence’ acquired in the search to construct some sort of half-baked attack on Trump. It might even forestall their hope for a November surprise attack.

• "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." -Leftard Bitch #2

Small number, my ass.

• Judge: Page 4, note 2:" Based on the Detailed Property Inventory, of the approximately 11,000 documents seized, roughly 100 contain classification markings [ECF No. 39-1 pp. 2–8]." - The Judge

[muir_redwoods]

I know leftist will complain about fresh air if it furthers their ends but what is the possible downside of letting an impartial review of seized documents?

[StAnDeliver]

Go entirely broke, scumbag, cuz you 90% the way there.

Tactics

[StAnDeliver]

Weissman is a classic auto-flaming rube. Here he is self-pwning as bragging about getting up at 5am to be the nobody first guest on Boring Joe and Mistress Mika, then retweeting his tiny apartment as a compliment. I bet 10K that say Mueller couldn't even name this guy. 5 more years and you'll be falling down those fugly steps. Go play in the streets, Andy.

[rktman]

It also stated that they need to “at least ensure the ‘appearance’ of integrity......” Sounds like 🐂💩 to me.

[woodbutcher1963]

“They hate it when the right uses their tactics”

That is exactly WHY they hate Trump so much.
He has used Alinsky's Rules for Radicals against them. Especially the one about marginalizing opponents(Crooked Hillary, Sleepy Joe, Little Marko, etc)

[Gaffer]

Yet they have NO problem with January 6 protestors who killed NO ONE, BEAT NO ONE, HARMED NO ONE being held without trial in the DC Abu Ghraib Gulag Prison.

Special Master means to them that they cannot INVENT more evidence, cannot LEAK additional evidentiary lies, and cannot hide deep-state agents’ complicity in solely politically based actions.

[whitney69]

“...until the Master has completed their investigation?”

It may go even further than that as it is my understanding from news outlets, and on this board, that some of Trump’s medical records have been removed and are currently in the possession of the FBI. From what I’ve been able to get from sources they were looking for documents marked secret by the archives that contained compartmental information concerning either people, plans, and/or nuclear information. If this is the case, then they violated numerous laws as I’m sure his medical history doesn’t fall under the scheme of the warrant.

And the way they were photographed from pictures I’ve seen, a number of document with jackets were spread out to be photographed as identification markers were still attached to the documents.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/31/us/politics/trump-photo-classified-documents.html

And if I can see it coming from the Times, then it is a breach of security at possibly the highest level. Plus, whether Trump declassified them or not, since the archives have the lists of these documents and with the markings sheets attached, they knew they would be classified and were not to be photographed in plain site or that the photo could be released to the NY Times. This is sloppy as he— and someone’s head, or a few someone’s heads, need to roll. This more than borders on the edge of criminal.
