Ahead of the Department of Justice’s filing Tuesday night that opposed President Trump’s call for a "special master" to review White House documents seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, seven former federal prosecutors filed an amicus brief asking a Florida federal judge to deny his request.
Former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, Donald B. Ayer, Gregory A. Brower, John J. Farmer Jr., Stuart M. Gerson, Peter D. Keisler, William F. Weld – who all served in Republican administrations – called Trump’s request a "waste of time."
The motion said the former prosecutors have a "special interest" in the case and "can provide assistance to the court."

Waste of time?
For a man’s life and reputation?
For the health of the Republic?
Are we on some sort of tight schedule witch?
Oh wait…

BLRs were also fine with the IRS going after Tea Party groups during the Obozo Administration. You heard it here first!

I don’t recall “waste of time” a legal precedent.

The motion said the former prosecutors have a "special interest" in the case and "can provide assistance to the court." In other words "we're all Never-Trumper Republicans and will do or say anything to help get Trump."

i love the clarity that Trump has brought to this fight
it is so easy to identify the enemy
One can dishonestly poo-poo or denigrate President Trump’s Mount Everest size mountain of accomplishments, but the flag planted at the top is that he has exposed all of the back-stabbers to us.

Yeah. Just go ahead and convict Trump based upon the information that has been leaked to the media.
Notice none of these people are concerned that the DOJ is saying all this information is top secret in court filings, but then they turn around and leak pictures and redacted information to the media.

"special interest" uh-huh .....
The real propagarbage is beneath the fold of course, as this is Pox Snooze who have succumbed to Murdoch Spawn a$$holey.
Here it is:
It added that his request ignores the Presidential Records Act requirement that a challenge from a former president over executive privilege be "brought in the jurisdiction available under the PRA, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia." It said he is seeking relief to which he isn’t entitled by making the request in a court in Florida "that is statutorily precluded from hearing the matter."
They want the case in DC before a DC jury. We know what they're up to. But I think the FL District Judge denies transfer because the incident occurred at the FL home of a FL resident and involves violation of constitutional rights.
