On the bright side, if the DOJ appeals Cannon's decision to appoint a Special Master, then Stewart Rhodes asking for a Special Master will be concrete proof that allowing Traitor Trump to have a Special Master is an extremely damaging precedent to set since now every defendant will ask for one.

On Tuesday, Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, on trial for his role in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, submitted a court filing trying to take a page out of former President Donald Trump's book, and demand the court appoint a special master to advise on his case.
The filing notes that there are "10 terabytes of data" in the discovery process, and that a special master could help facilitate reviewing all of this information.
"Discovery in this case is more massive than the discovery in many cases where courts have appointed special masters to help manage discovery," said the filing. "For example, the Whitmer-kidnapping-plot case in the U.S. District of Michigan in 2021, the Bundy prosecutions in the U.S. District of Nevada both used special masters to manage, compile, dispense and compartmentalize discovery that was less massive than the discovery in this case. Rhodes requests appointment of a special master in this case."
As Lawfare's Roger Parloff noted on Twitter, "this motion is signed only by Rhodes' attorney Edward Tarpley, whom Rhodes tried to substitute last week for the 2 representing him for mos. With trial starting 9/27, Judge said no way. The other 2 said they'd let Tarpley sit at counsel table, but that was about it."

(32,748 posts)... because Stewart Rhodes doesn't have - and never had - executive privilege which is the reason why Chump thinks he deserves a "special master."
Chump's claim of executive privilege is silly because his privilege ended on January 20, 2021 when Joe Biden became the next President. Everything Chump has done since that date is NOT COVERED under executive privilege. Most of the documents he stole and concealed weren't covered, however the few documents that were covered under EP have already been examined and excluded.
Stewart Rhodes is nothing but an insurrectionist and an anti-government terrorist. When did he ever have executive privilege? Rhodes has no legal claim regarding a "special master." I'm not even a lawyer and I can break this down in less than 30 seconds.
