She split the baby and stopped the Govt from using the seized material for CRIMINAL investigative purposes, but is still allowing them to use it for national security assessment purposes.

I'd expect DOJ to appeal since this is a bad precedent. [/quote]

Former DOJ trial lawyer here and I think DOJ would be foolish to appeal for two reasons. One, Trump did this primarily for delay and an appeal would delay things further and, secondly, the Eleventh Circuit is likely to come down in Trump’s favor. [/quote]

Given the nature of the situation, the Eleventh Circuit (and then SCOUTS) would probably take this up pretty quickly.  And if they're inclined to side with Trump, they won't order a stay of Cannon's order in the meantime (since a stay of the injunction would mean DOJ could continue to review the documents in the meantime).  So if they appeal, the special master proceeding probably moves forward in tandem with the appeal, thus resulting in no delay if DOJ loses on appeal.   [/quote]

Which is exactly why DOJ would be foolish to appeal this. A SCOTUS decision in favor of Trump would be horrible. [/quote]
