The Post buried the mother-of-all-ledes. A reasonable inference would be that Stephanie Grisham has testified before the DC grand jury about the manner in which DJT handled classified information and more specifically how it was handled during trips abroad. The information attributed to her puts this right over the target zone. In other words, the ongoing GJ investigation isn’t limited to how documents were stored in an unsecured basement at MAL or whether they’re presidential records belonging to NARA. It’s ultimately about what Trump was doing with these documents whether in the private residence or during travel abroad. Who was he sharing the information with? And for what purpose? This dovetails with arguments about “declassification” advanced by Kash Patel and the MAGA disinfo army upon removal from the West Wing in an attempt to confuse and reframe the issue — that is, Trump did nothing illegal if he shared classified documents and it was just a matter of time before Kash and John Solomon released all of it. They doth protest too much. Trump isn’t going to sweat being caught with some classified documents in his possession. It’s not in his nature. And it’s not what he learned from Roy Cohn. It doesn’t warrant as much smoke — and shiftiing narratives — as the disinformation machine is producing in near panic mode.

Trump is desperate to find out in greater detail what materials were siezed by the FBI because he alone knows what he did with the information (or what the likes of Jared, Manafort, Flynn, Tom Barrack, Roger Stone or Solomon may have done with it). Did Trump prepare a second pardon for Stone? If so why was it siezed? Did it relate to a ratf8cking op on Macron? Trump did not make that many international trips.

This dovetails with the cited predicate for the warrant under 793(e) (Espionage Act) and 1519 (obstruction). It’s another reason the GJ was used to issue subpoenas for the MAL surveillance footage characterized in reports as capturing people removing and replacing boxes. As has been obvious for the past three weeks this is plainly about more than a failure to turn over presidential records even if that was the genesis of the investigation.

The icing on the cake? Bobb and Corcoran are each witnesses to a possible obstruction charge if not directly implicated as an accessory. It was Bobb who put herself in Giuliani’s warroom at the Willard on 1/5 with rest of the extras from Star Wars bar scene. My money is on complicit.

OK now explain it in simple words my non-lawyer, non-DC brain can understand.

DP. Trump mishandled material throughout his four years and after and the government has reason to believe that he did bad things with the classified info.

Well this makes Judge Cannon look pretty silly:https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.618763/gov.uscourts.flsd.618763.31.0_6.pdf

Maybe she should have asked for DOJ to respond before announcing her intent to appoint a SM.

Further showing how Trump appointees are unqualified hacks.

Judges make mistakes. Not a good look to be sure.

So DOJ already did everything that she wants the Special Master to do, right?

She didn't make a mistake. This happened because she is a partisan hack and immediately tried to do whatever she could to help Trump.

So far this judge has not done anything legally unsound or ethically wrong.

However it's clear that she's falling over herself to signal to Trump and the rabid fan base that *she's a friend* and does not want death threats! I think this is the motivation of many people who are drawn into the Scylla and Charybdis of Trump's criminal wrongdoings.

In any case, all her actions are moot and she knows it well: it's all just a CYA vis-a-vis a deranged Trumper showing up at her house and shooting her.

A special master typically operates behind the scenes because they are supposed to act in a role as impartial advisor to the court who can make findings and recommendations to the court. Filings may not be docketed. Hearings — such as they are — may not be transcribed or open to the public. It provides cover to Trump.

That doesn’t answer the question. Trump wants a special master to determine what docs are subject to executive privilege. So what if the special master does that? What is the result? Surely they won’t give him the docs back. What’s the point?

TBH the motion is about the farthest thing from clarity — perhaps intentional so. Trump is asking for appointment of a Special Master to review “potentially privileged” documents the FBI may have siezed. But he fails to identify any specific document or class of documents that may be subject to a claim of privilege. What he instead tells the court is that the government should be directed to provide a “more detailed receipt” for the siezed property that will enable Trump to determine what was taken, and implicitly some insight into the investigation and opportunity for greymail, and the return of material outside ghe scope of the warrant. In no uncertain terms Trump wants to know why the warrant was sought and belatedly asks the court to enjoin any further review of the material until the Dprcial Master is appointed — in other words, yet more delay, delay, delay. We can assume however that the review has been completed now that three weeks have passed as of Monday since the warrant was executed. DOJ would have anticipated prompt action by Trump and completed review at warp speed consistent with concerns about national security. And 5 boxes of material apparently have been sent to Judge Reinhart for review according to a warrant receipt. In short, it’s a proceeding full of sound and fury, but likely signifying nothing.

Makes sense. Trumps MO is blowing righteous smoke and delaying my any means possible. Oh, and lying. Always the lies.

Announcing her intent to rule for a party, and issuing the order to produce a more detailed inventory that Trump requested, before the other had even been served (much less responded), is legally and ethically dubious. If she wanted to bend over backward, she could have just asked for DOJ to respond to the motion. There was no need for the additional orders or announcing her intent.

Judges routinely issue TROs on an ex parte basis all the time. Issues also arise in the course of arguing a motion which lead to the judge announcing a preliminary intention of how she will rule but inviting additional briefing from the litigants.

The chef’s kiss in this morning’s DOJ filing is telling Judge Cannon that they explicitly complied with what Judge Reinhart had authorized in issuing the warrant. Tantamount to a checkmate.
