To do it over again. And then they'll want a special special super special master to do it over again again. It's just delays. That's Trump's #1 legal strategy. |
We will learn more when the DOJ actually files its official response, but yes, they basically already said there’s no need for one. Maybe next time ask for one before two weeks have passed. |
Looks like the DOJ brief was filed under seal. |
Totally this. I'd say his other #1 strategy is a lawsuit. To anyone over anything he is displeased about, especially those suing him for what he owes them. Sue, intimidate and always delay until it costs so much people give up. That SOB has never been accountable for anything. I sure hope something sticks to him like glue this time. |
No, it hasn't been filed yet. The 2 sealed filings are the more detailed inventory and an update of the filter review. The DOJ brief is not going to be sealed. |
It isn’t out of the realm of possibility that portions of the brief will necessitate it’s filing under seal. DOJ would likely file a redacted version to be approved by the court. |

I mean, duh, but nice to see it laid out like this. Plaintiff’s Motion, in fact, asserts that “[t]he documents seized at Mar-a-Lago on August 8, 2022 . . . were created during his term as President.” D.E. 1 at 15. These are precisely the types of documents that likely constitute Presidential records. Because these records do not belong to Plaintiff, Rule 41(g) gives him no right to have them returned. And because Plaintiff has no such right, this Court should not appoint a special master to review Presidential records for the purpose of entertaining potential claims of executive privilege. At most, Plaintiff can seek return of his personal property. |
