Re Trumps Request for Special Master .. DoJ has already done that

[getagrip_already]

11. this judge has broken from precedent and normal court practice multiple times alrady.....

She issued a preliminary intention to rule without ever seeing the doj's response, she allowed the case t proceed even though the trump team never provided notice to the doj nor did it sign it's own paperwork, and coached them along as what they needed to do to file the case.

None of this is how things are supposed to work.

I have no faith she will take the fbi's word for it. She will want her own master to see everything. She will provide detailed information to his attorneys. She may even reject the claim that there is no executive privilege here.

Sure, the doj can appeal, but damage can still be done. She could for example release the full affidavit to tfg's team.
