Master Baiter

Submitted by ub on

A Trump-appointed judge took the #MAGA Republican bait and decided a Special Master reviews US government stolen documents.

Judge Cannon allowed a special master, thereby stopping the ongoing investigation, and permitting consideration of non-existent executive privilege. Her request for a special master to review the stolen files seized following a legally FBI search warrant temporarily blocks a key part of the DOJ investigation.

Will DOJ appeal the MAGALago search warrant that found thousands of stolen documents?

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon's ruling came despite opposition from the Justice Department, which argued a special master was unnecessary and would hinder their criminal investigation.
