I am really enjoying the frothing of the mouths of liberals today on Twitter. They are losing their minds over the Special Master ruling
U.S. District Judge from the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen M. Cannon ordered that the special master be appointed to “review the seized property, manage assertions of privilege and make recommendations thereon, and evaluate claims for return of property.”
They have let loose a torrent of outrage:
I expressed no opinion about whether the District Court judge would deny the Special Master request because I knew who she was. However, I now express my opinion that the appellate court will reverse because, no matter who appointed them, they won’t sign on to that drivel.

In the likely event the Department of Justice decides to appeal, I cannot imagine that Judge Cannon’s ruling will be upheld by the 11th Circuit.

This is in interesting article, even thought the policy does not apply to an investigation of someone not running for office in the midterms or close family member. Even if it did, nothing prohibits investigative steps that are not public, e.g. serving grand jury subpoenas, etc. https://t.co/nw2QyCDY7u

NBC’s @glennkirschner2: “They could be arresting Donald Trump because they have probable cause plus, plus, plus — arrest him, Mirandize him, and … interrogate him. If he waives his Miranda rights, extract from him information that can protect our national security” pic.twitter.com/ufYn4RTOPE

The judge didn’t have jurisdiction.
And Trump doesn’t have standing, because the feds took property that was THEIRS, not his.
Just a few minor details.

Note: The FBI took medical records, Attorney/Client privileged documents and tax documents.
New details: the judge “noted, for example, that among the government records seized by the F.B.I., agents found some of Mr. Trump’s ‘medical documents, correspondence related to taxes, and accounting information.’” https://t.co/bDBFq5OZuY

Cannon uses existence of a small number of personal items found in search (and properly seized pursuant to warrant) to find standing to review ALL docs including vast majority that are STOLEN.

This is the same abusive Andrew Weissman you knew from his trying to frame Trump in the Russian collusion scheme. Here and here.
I kept an open mind. I really did. But reading Judge Cannon’s ruling left my jaw on the floor in its absurdity. Unless the federalist society wants to argue that this precedent would only apply to trump, this ruling would demolish future white collar criminal investigations…

I’m just waiting for the Trump-appointed Judge to name Devin Nunes as the Special Master now.

Exactly. I’d underscore: Her decision was utterly lawless. She has disgraced her position as an Article III judge. https://t.co/Z7F38NlqgF

DOJ should propose Magistrate Judge Reinhart as the Special Master. Make Judge Cannon show her stripes if she is going to reject him.
— Andrew Weissmann 🌻 (@AWeissmann_) September 5, 2022
Linked to Epstein, Bruce Reinhart posted anti-Trump messages on social media.
Per earlier tweets my worst fears were that Judge Cannon would use her court to thank Trump for her appointment AND maybe she’d channel Justice Kavanaugh on Executive Privilege. She did both. Worse: She treats Donald like he’s special, not just a citizen! She’s not done justice!

Some are really taking it hard.
Judge Cannon is a corrupt Federalist Society hack
She was appointed by Trump AFTER he lost precisely to protect him
Her jurisdiction is nowhere near Mar-a-Lago
Radical right wing activist judges like Cannon, Barrett, Kavanaugh & Alito are demolishing our republic w each ruling
— Lindy Li (@lindyli) September 5, 2022
Anyone surprised that Judge Cannon—a Trumpist judge who was rushed to confirmation with Amy Coney Barrett by McConnell & who was rated unqualified by the American Bar Association—just shredded the Constitution on Trump’s behalf?
Fascists stay loyal to fascists not to our country

The so-called “Filter Team” already has abused its responsibility
BOOM: Trump’s custodian’s “diligence” in searching the records but missing some documents provides basis for obstruction count, but FBI’s search team makes mistake, shrug. pic.twitter.com/uqWHoBohRg

Why are they irritated? Because they have lost control of the narrative and they’re pissed off that someone actually was guarding Trump’s rights. They didn’t want anyone messing their vicious persecution.
They’re afraid. Really afraid. Really afraid of something that will be revealed. I think we may yet see that the FBI was there to find the evidence of their misconduct in Crossfire Hurricane.
And that’s really, really good.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
