Should seize assets and sell them at auction.

The Constitution might have something to say about that.

I realize the judge is a partisan hack, but you would think she’d be at least a little embarrassed to make what apparently is going to be a completely logically and legally deficient ruling.

The case team has had the documents for three weeks (with the exception of 520 pages that could be subject to attorney client privilege) and ODNI would be allowed to continue its national security assessment.

Trump OTOH is a former president and presumptive candidate for the nomination in 2024. The judge isn’t prepared to decide whether Trump can assert a blanket claim of executive privilege at this time, much less the question of declassification, and a special master can be used to conduct an independent review of the entirety of the 33 boxes/items for attorney client privileged documents. This will result in some delay. Maybe the judge is concerned DOJ siezed documents such as passports that can be used to tie Trump to control over the classified materials in the same drawer but this is in the realm of speculation. Yes, a judge is going to treat Trump is differently than other defendants in a criminal investigation because his status is ultimately different.

1) the files don't belong to Trump; they belong to the USA
2) Trump doesn't have executive privilege. That lies with the President. Last time I checked, Trump wasn't the president
3) Who could serve as a special master with the necessary clearances?

Not going to engage further on 1 & 2 but a retired federal judge is a customary choice. And a federal law — CIPA — governs clearances in criminal matters.

Don’t expect these people to have any shame, you’ll always be disappointed.

Federal judge have lifetime appointments and most are smart enough to know how to put lipstick on a pig of a ruling.

It’s a problem for the courthouse if their Wi-Fi network crashes. They should have anticipated an issue.

When I go someplace without wifi, I use my Verizon data.

DOJ said documents have been forwarded to appropriate agency. What's to review?

Maybe fingerprint and DNA analysis.

So is this judge’s ruling going to slow down the assessment of damage done to our national security or not?

The intelligence agencies are reviewing the documents for classification status and an assessment of potential national security damage.

Unlikely if we take what the judge reportedly said at face value but nobody knows until the order is issued.

DOJ told the judge the parameters it wanted in its filing.

Yes, the judge is walking a fine line here. Trying not to get shot by a deranged Trumpster.

We’ll just have to see what happens.
