This is what the DOJ does when they lose a motion?

Notable leak a day after a federal judge slowed the probe into what the FBI seized at Mar-a-Lago.

The only way a special master impacts the investigation in any meaningful way is if the DOJ overreacts to it (like they often do). Someone may look over your shoulder on this one, ok? Get over it. Don’t treat this as if Trump won something significant (he didn’t) – at Brunswick, GA

A federal judge has granted former President Trump’s request to appoint a “special master” to review materials that the FBI seized from Mar-a-Lago. CNN’s @SaraMurray and @KaraScannell break down the ruling with constitutional law attorney @pagepate. cnn.it/3x0z9dE

What Trump is doing right now is daring the DOJ to charge him. And it’s probably his best move at this point. But it’s one hell of a gamble. – at Evansville, IN

Trump no longer claims classified materials were planted by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago. Trump now admits he had the documents 'in cartons' at his estate.

A search warrant is directed at a place and not a person. But the facts that established probable cause in this affidavit look a lot like what it would take to indict or get an arrest warrant for FPOTUS. – at Brunswick, GA

The language in an affidavit is always strong and conclusory. The agent can’t lie or withhold material information, but there is no requirement for the agent to include “the other side.” – at Brunswick, GA

Doesn’t matter if they had probable cause to arrest Brooks. The question is did Brooks present a threat of seriously injuring the officers when Rolf shot him. Maybe the officers are not guilty, but they shouldn’t be granted immunity from prosecution. – at Brunswick, GA

He really, really doesn’t want to answer questions about any discussions with Trump. He has no atty-client or 5th Amend. privilege. So if he’s asked, he has to answer. – at Waycross, GA

When Giuliani appears before the special grand jury in Atlanta tomorrow, expect him to refuse to answer any questions about what he and Trump talked about. He will claim attorney-client privilege. The DA may then try to get around that by raising the "crime-fraud exception."

The "crime-fraud exception" applies when the lawyer and client are working together to defraud someone, commit a crime, or cover one up. My friends at Finch McCranie have a good summary of the exception here - finchmccranie.com/blog/when-…

When the government investigates or prosecutes alleged corporate crime, a key question commonly emerges: Will the accused client waive attorney-client privilege and disclose relevant communications...

I don’t think Judge McBurney would be doing this now if the grand jury had a lot more work to do. There may be a report coming soon. Remember, this “special” grand jury can’t indict anyone. It can only issue a report with recommendations. – at Brunswick, GA

HMMM: The judge presiding over the Fulton County grand jury probe of Donald Trump and his allie has instituted a set of redacted "security procedures" regarding the "Grand Jury's report drafting work."
