Trump attorney: 'Fair question' to ask about DOJ cover-up
Washington Examiner ^ | Sept 11, 2022 | Daniel Chaitin

An attorney for former President Donald Trump scolded the Justice Department for fighting the appointment of a special master to review documents seized from Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.

James Trusty, a former federal prosecutor, told Fox News host Mark Levin it is a "fair question" to ask whether the Justice Department is attempting a cover-up as it conducts a criminal investigation into Trump's handling of records after leaving office.

"What we have in this situation is a historical first. And I mean that in a very negative way, to have this search warrant based on failed [National Archives] negotiations, I suppose, that allowed the government to basically ransack the president's residence," he said in a clip from this week's Life, Liberty and Levin. "You'd think in this era of the attorney general constantly talking about rule of law and transparency, that we would be the first one to say, 'Sure another set of eyes is perfectly fine.'"

"It would have been so much more respectful of the department and of this attorney general if they turned around and said, 'You know what, good idea to have a special master, we have nothing to hide. Let's get at it.' But that's not the approach. It's a constant fight."

It all comes down to “Trump is literally Hitler”.

Because they believe that, they can do anything. Fairness and Due Process are not a consideration, because you need to stop Hitler. Cheating in elections is not cheating, because you can’t let Hitler win. Crushing cities with street thugs is necessary, because Hitler.

I’d like to know when Merry Garland is going to recuse himself. It’s time to add some good old American fairness to this third world cluster.

They will not let Trump have a second term. If this effort fails then the next one will be taken.

It’s a fair question to ask about DOJ officials giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of hte United States.

Only Trump-haters can judge the evidence in Trump case because without Trump-haters no case would exist.

He won’t recuse himself. They don’t care that the country sees them as corrupt. What they do care about is making you know you can’t do anything about their corruption.

Didn’t the DOJ just submit two names for special master?

Please. Let’s not get carried away. The wheels of justice grind slowly but they grind excedingly fine. The current regime of thieves and traitors is rapidly coming to its end. Yes, the perps seem to be untouchable. But God is still in ultimate charge, and He has His “7,000 righteous ones” who have not sold out their honor to Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, George Soros and the One World-ers. God has everything lined up to very soon spring the trap that was set to catch these perps. The Donald will once again be POTUS, as will his son Eric after him. Just hide and watch.

now the doj wants trump to pay for the special master but they have the nerve to suggest who that should be...

if trump has to pay, he has all the say.

This was the FBI and DOJ’s way of doing Discovery in the Trump lawsuit against them.

Seize the evidence and destroy it.

They raid his home unnecessarily and they are asking him to pay for a fairly requested SM? These people are so far gone that they are completely irrational. It’s the lack of reason and rationality that we need to focus on.

Because they believe that

They don't believe it. They use it.

Yes, and Trump submitted two, as well. The judge has to pick from those four, or name her own choice.
