To accept a Special Master, without challenging the rest of Cannon’s corrupt, incompetent ruling would be unconscionable.

The Act specifically assigns its enforcement to the DC District Court so this trumper's court doesn't even have subject matter jurisdiction.

44 U.S.C. Chapter 22 § 2204.

Cannon’s ruling must be nullified in a higher court, or chaos will overcome this investigation.

For a decision that is in the correct jurisdiction?

Why should they have to go thru a court without jurisdiction?

...on all the documents and refuse to turn them over.

The documents belong to the Executive Branch and he is the only person with executive privilege, not Donald Trump and not any circuit judge.

What could they do?

Justice matters.

The obstructor's "representative" LIED on an official declaration.

This has nothing to do with the "documents" themselves. Were they be toilet papers, THEY refused to obey a DOJ Subpoena in full compliance to the Law. That's a no-no in this justice system.

Lock them both up.
