Looks to me like he's angling for the gov't to pay for it. That is, us who didn't attack the U.S. Shrike47 Sep 2022 #7

They'll forget it once they realize it costs big money.

I suspect that this defendant is using this ploy to delay his trial, muck up the works.

EVERYONE IN THE STUDIO AUDIENCE TODAY GETS THEIR OWN SPECIAL MASTER!!!

Judge Qannon has clearly failed to think this thru.

Or maybe she has, come to think of it

Unsurprisingly, DOJ opposes this.

Swiftly and unsurprisingly, Judge Mehta says no to Stewart Rhodes' requests to delay his trial and appoint a special master to help go through discovery
