A question about the "Special Master", who has been appointed to peruse Giuliani's phone info?

Reportedly, his/her purpose is to prevent the prosecutors from seeing privileged information between the attorney and his client. Giuliani was the attorney for Donald Trump.

My question is, what happens if the information between attorney and client is part of the prosecutors' investigation? Is it still held back from the prosecutors?

How do they know the "Special Master" is not biased one way or the other politically?
