DoJ Checks and Mates 'Judge'

[Aviation Pro]

I note that the DoJ told the C'mon Aileen Come Lately judge that they already reviewed the documents retrieved from Bloated Tick's residence and that she can appoint whatever 'master' she wanted to.

Nice try though, Tick. (Soon to be Convict Tick).

4. If this involves actual document review,

wouldn't a 'special master' be required to have top level security clearance?

[Aviation Pro]

5. CIA, NSA and many other alphabet soup agencies have a cadre of lawyers with TS/SCI clearances

Judge C'mon Aileen can appoint one of them.

[notinkansas]

6. But will she appoint someone like that?

Well I suppose there are trumpies who are embedded in those organizations.

12. Her options are

very limited. First, her agenda was on display when she noted she was likely to appoint someone, before the DOJ had responded to the Trump filing. Judges aren't supposed to lean one way or the other without hearing from both sides. Second, this isn't a case such as with Rudy or Cohen, where communications between lawyers and clients are at issue.

More importantly, were she to appoint a master to review the documents, it would have to be an attorney from one of the Intelligence Community at a high security level. We know that Trump had intelligence documents from at least the FBI and CIA. And in this case, where it appears likely now that Trump "shared" intelligence, no one at thatlevel is pro-Trump. But they are anti-leaking of intelligence.

19. Quite insightful. THanks.

[dchill]

7. Nah - she's going to appoint Eric.

[agingdem]

8. Nah..Peter Navarro

[dchill]

9. Yeah. Where IS Pete these days, anyway?

14. Begging for dollars...

that contempt of congress indictment...incompetent 4th tier lawyering don't come cheap

[True Blue American]

10. You are so right!

Trump appointed Judge trying to slow down the investigation. She shot off her mouth by speaking before hearing from the Justice Department answered. They already handled it! They are the experts.

[H2O Man]

13. +1

11. Hillary has a Top Secret clearance.

She's got my vote.

[charliea]

16. She'd be fine, but

right wing nut jobs would attempt to swarm her, not that that would bother her though.

I think her husband would be fine, or perhaps former president Obama?

23. Love it

29. I am looking forward to the DOJ brief being filed tomorrow

20. My uninformed opinion is at this point, let someone neutral look at it all so the GQP

can shut the hell up about it. Otherwise, it does appear that procedure was skipped for possibly political reasons.

24. As far as the attorney client privilege goes there may be a few interesting issues

The government paid attorneys work for the USA and in turn, they work for you and me. The sitting president would have stronger cause to decide if a document shared between them and the previous president was privileged. In the case of a situation were an attack on the capitol and espionage issues that risk the lives of assets and agents, the current president would have much more say than the impeached idiot that stole documents after going on and on about made up security issues with all of his opponents at every level. He can't claim ignorance of guilt since he placed that guilt on multiple innocent people and then escalated the punishment he wanted to happen.

Then there is the issue that the judge involved in the "Special Master" thing should at most have mentioned it to another judge and then got herself out of the loop since she has a connection and debt to the jerk she is suddenly showing up to help.

Third, and this is the big issue, WTF, she is trying to step into a law suit to slow it down, that in any other case would have started with the accused seeing a warrant. The moment a secret document was found, the next thing we would normally see, is the accused disappearing and needing all conversations, papers, and materials exchanged to be searched, witnessed and approved. This case is already slower than it would be for anyone else.

Anyone other than a high ranking Republican politician would have been subject to immediate incarceration.

I can understand her wanting to help TFG. I doubt TFG appointed a lot of people he didn't either have compromat on or was recommended by someone holding compromat on TFG.

27. This won't have any influence on whether the SM is appointed or not.
