The left is losing its mind over the Special Master and here’s why
Flopping Aces ^ | 09-05-22 | DrJohn

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
— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) September 5, 2022

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
— Laurence Tribe (@tribelaw) September 5, 2022

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.

"...roughly 100 contain classification markings

But weren't all the formerly classified documents DEclassified by Trump while he was president, and therefore it wouldn't matter if a 5 year old's scribbles were on the folders? Still no reason to confiscate documents or even be on Trump's property. Jellybrain Joe grasping at straws to justify his gross violation of the Constitution and a gazillion laws.

It pains me to say this, but I don’t see how we can ever coexist with the left going forward. They’re too far gone and venomous in thought and heart. How does society and a government/nation function on even basic levels with such delusion and contempt?

People at all levels of government working behind the scenes, willing to break laws, to undermine and crush the opposition (sitting Presidents even), and steal elections. They fight like this is an asymmetrical war to seize control of a foreign nation.

IDK, maybe politics has always been this bad behind the scenes, thinking back on Kennedy and earlier events? It feels like it’s accelerating at all levels of society and government.

Lets go back...Hillary had her own attorneys go through her "collection" and remove anything that was personal. No one objected...and I'm sure what was left was "talked about" before Hillary testified.

I fact....go back to her testimony...she's not flipping pages in her notebook...one by one...almost as if she knew what was coming next...like duh..

I’ll interpret properly....”100 still retain their OLD Classification markings.”

The left are clearly are deranged. I am at least happy to see that the court has apparently dismissed their conflicted Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhardt, who they are trying to make invisible now.

What has become common is outright and obvious bias and warped reasoning attached to it that they actually expect to get by with.

One result of the left’s various charges at Trump these past years is loss of legal/political cash. Not dollars, but confidence that they can be trusted to be ethical and on the actual side of statutory law.

The Russia/dossier attack. Bad loss. Muller was a vegetable and there was nothing there.

The SDNY financial attack. Quiet loss. They got Trump’s CFO for not reporting job perks, but nothing on Trump.

NY AG ongoing deposition and fishing attempts. Eventual loss. There’s nothing there.

The Ukrainian phone call. Eventual loss. Shif will be censured and lose all committee assignments. Three words: Chairman Jim Jordan.

The J6 probe. Loss with a trout across the face in contempt. There was nothing, the Rino’s got swept, and Trump is stronger. A few credulous individuals got ground up in the legal system for entering the building, which is awful, but nothing on Trump.

The Mar a Lago raid. Big loss. Desperate move by the surveillance community, approved by Joe himself, and they took a ton of stuff that was personal, not classified. Plus the optics. Now the judge has stopped them, and getting momentum back in an election cycle is maybe a 10000 to one gamble.

They have spent most of their good will and public trust. The barrage of incoming jokes and memes is increasing, and Merrick is where?

If Trump wins the Mar a Lago case, and the House goes red, DOJ will have little to no traction for another attack. They have spent their cash.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an attack, or attempted attack on Judge Cannon. Either an FBI employee, or one of their “assets” will do the dirty work. They’ll blame it on the Judge’s, or Trump’s “attempts to incite.” I put nothing past these cretins. The DOJ is desperate.

They say they’re not going to prosecute Trump, at least until after the election, because of some policy of DOJ prohibiting them from influencing elections.

The real reason is that they know doing so will hurt the Democrats politically.

They’re attempting to influence the election by saying they are going to wait until after the election to prosecute him to, you know, avoid influencing the election.

Well, they could try, they just can’t use anything they seized while serving that warrant as evidence to indict him.
