Special Master Has Already Undercut Trump's Classified Doc Game

A Dog Ate My Declassification

Trump’s legal team on Monday night wrote a letter to U.S. District Judge Raymond Dearie, who has been appointed as the special master to sift through the documents Trump stashed at Mar-a-Lago, saying that it doesn’t want to disclose whether Trump declassified the seized documents–despite Trump repeatedly claiming (out of court) that he declassified them.

The lawyers’ argument admits the possibility that the Mar-a-Lago investigation could lead to criminal charges, saying that disclosing whether Trump declassified the documents would force him to “fully and specifically disclose a defense to the merits of any subsequent indictment without such a requirement being evident in the District Court’s order.”

Shorter Trump: I want a peek at the government’s evidence pre-indictment, but don’t make me disclose anything this soon!

Trump’s special master gambit doesn’t seem to be going as planned for him: His lawyers recommended Dearie as a candidate for special master because they believed he was a skeptic of the FBI and would therefore boost Trump’s case, according to Axios.

3. You'll feel better if you stop being so cynical. Dearie told Trump's lawyers to put up or shut up.

About which documents Trump “declassified” and his lawyers are speechless because they most likely know Trump didn’t “Declassify” anything.

He has called their bluff. And now Trump’s lawyers are whining and scrambling.

Dearie is a FISA judge and knows the importance of keeping classified info secret.
