we aint got time for morals and the law.

One of President Trump's attorneys handling the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid case told Fox News the Justice Department appears to be suddenly "efficient" at processing cases, after they claimed to have already filtered the documents they procured when the former president called for a "special master" to sort them out.
James Trusty, who previously served in the DOJ and as a federal prosecutor in Greenbelt, Maryland, said every step of this case requires judicial intervention given the irresponsible and questionable way the feds have executed it.

After Judge Bruce Reinhart signed off on the raid, Trump petitioned the court for a special master to be installed – the litigation for which has fallen to another South Florida jurist, Judge Aileen Cannon.
"We still need judicial intervention. We need a judge to monitor our access to these documents. We haven't had a single phone call from the filter team telling us anything. This is the first knowledge we had about their findings on attorney-client privilege," Trusty said.
He added that the Biden Justice Department has decided to "ignore the concept of executive privilege" in the case, as well as the Presidential Records Act.
With that being alleged, he said it is difficult for the DOJ to be seen as some sort of neutral arbiter.
"It's a very politicized place, I'm sad to say. And there's still a need for a judge to get involved on on every aspect of this, checking their assertions of privilege, but also giving us fair, timely access, letting us build a case for why this search warrant was not only essentially morally wrong, but legally wrong," he said.

we aint got time for morals and the law.
1. Federal officials completed the review process? Did they finish after the Trump lawyers filed for a special master? When did they finish? Because they should have stopped if they hadn’t finished to await the court’s decision.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 29, 2022
2. Still, a special master can review the work of DOJ. DOJ says a small about of material was privileged. The amount is not the point. The substance is, as is the chain of custody, etc.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 29, 2022
Probably already been put to a DC grand jury, and will be rendered moot after an indictment is issued.

Any update on the Hunter investigation?
Right, once he is indicted he is as good as going to prison the rest of his life with a D.C judge and jury.
Yet they claim they have not been able to process the Hunter Biden laptop after having control of it since 2019.
> Probably already been put to a DC grand jury, and will be rendered moot after an indictment is issued.
Hopefully there is some foundation on which to base a motion to dismiss. let them prove that they finished the work before trump’s lawyers objected to the search on legal grounds. etc.
that was quick
have they even turned on hunter’s laptop?
Isn’t this the same FBI that told local agents not to investigate the Hunter Biden laptop before the 2020 election? Now they’re in such a hurry to do their own “special master” to separate possible lawyer client privileged information from the rest of the documents seized in the Mar-a-Lago raid.
- “This is the first knowledge we had about their findings on attorney-client privilege,” Trusty said. -
and all the while while this is ongoing!

23 Aug: MSN: Newsweek: Judge in Trump Raid Should Explain Recusal in Clinton Case: Ex-Prosecutors
by Katherine Fung
Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart’s recusal from former President Donald Trump’s RICO lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee and others has become a major talking point among Trump’s attorneys and supporters, who have cast doubt over Reinhart’s ability to sign off on the search warrant for Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home...
However, the code does not require judges to specify exactly why they believe their impartiality could be questioned. So, Reinhart’s recusal does not provide any information as to why he disqualified himself in Trump v. Clinton et. al.
“There’s a tremendous lack of transparency about the reasons [for recusal],” former federal prosecutor Shanlon Wu told Newsweek. “It’s opaque, it’s a black box.”...
Neama Rahmini, a former federal prosecutor, said that from some of Reinhart’s previous statements, it seems like the perception of bias caused him to recuse himself. If the bias was against Trump, Rahmini said, “logic would suggest that he should recuse himself in both cases.”...

battery is down...
Of course it does. Who would “trust” anything DOJ or FBI says?
Appoint the Special Master.
P
Certainly the Feds are using their own special deck of cards in this game.
