Explain to me about assignment of a Special master for tRumps Affidavit...

Mostly wanting to know, will the tRumpster Judge who appears willing to grant this Master make the appointment...thinking the Master will be a tRumpster as well... My fear is the information will go straight to tRump.

Help me understand...

Donald Trump is not an attorney and is no longer President. There is no reason to have a special master IMO.

a Special Master will need the same highest level Security Clearence too....so that narrows down who it could be....

I am waiting to see what their response will be but Trump's team has not even properly served them yet so we will have to wait and see the response. I hope they get it out of this court of the Trump supporting Federalist society member who is looking to have them elevate her to a higher position.

He probably has high enough clearance and has enough integrity to not be bought.

Special masters are usually used when going through a lawyers documents so the best (only?) reason Trump has for a special master is stuff that might be subject to lawyer client privilege. Trump won't pick the master, the judge will. The judge might ask both parties to send suggestions for who the master will be but it won't be Trump's decision.

imho
