Judge Dearie special master won't be a friend

[lostnfound]

Under the radar means nothing. He was appointed by Roberts to the FISA court.
All this talk about him being fair or right down the middle tells us nothing. Look at the types of people Roberts appointed to the SECRETIVE, NONPUBLIC FISC.

There’s a reason why trump put Dearie on the shortlist, we just don’t know it. Maybe he is compromised in some way. Maybe he has a kid with ties to Russia. Maybe his connections in New York in the Giuliani era hold the secret. I recently heard that Giuliani’s prosecution of the Italian mob paved the way for the Russian mob. Dearie’s career trajectory intersected that era.

When the media starts telling us what to think about an unknown, get skeptical. They have a bridge to sell us.

1. Why did the DOJ agree to him ?

Are they in on it too?

[mucifer]

2. A lot of msnbc pundits said he is good

[Bettie]

7. They said that about Mueller too

so, I'm not freaking out, but not hopeful either.

[mucifer]

8. Yup that's true

[JohnSJ]

10. Mueller was a neutral party, it was Barr that prevented his report from seeing the light of day, if

you recall.

[former9thward]

15. Who is preventing it from seeing the light of day now?

Garland? Biden?

16. Thank you for asking, when/if this question is answered.. would you give me a heads up?

It's been challenging for me to catch updates on a myriad of developments.

This one is long overdue, imo.

4. Time, Delay is Trump's strategy,

Trump finally has a sharp lawyer working for him, notice how he paid him 3 million up front. This new Trump lawyer is eating Garland's lunch.

Never in a million years would I believe that the FBI would be forbidden from doing forensics on top secret documents that involve our national security. Think about that and then tell me I am wrong. What about the rest of the documents that Trump still has? That will just be water over the dam.

Have the Cyber Ninjas produced the documents yet that a judge ordered them to produce? Just more water over the dam.

Magats play by different rules and no one stops them.

[JohnSJ]

12. The statement that "Trump's lawyer is eating Garland's lunch", based on what? The trump team found

an unqualified judge to rule in his behalf, and your assumption that the DOJ is not going to appeal this I think is naive. They have to appeal it becuse it sets up an extremely dangerous precedent. You cannot have the documents marked as classified handled in this way.

[msfiddlestix]

17. ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ n/t

[Samrob]

3. Perhaps he won't even get to perform Special Master Duties. If Trump stole the Doc

DOJ should just take them back. See what happens later. We all know there is no enforcement of the law at the Executive and Congressional level...else Trump would be in jail now.

Carry on AG Garland, indict on some other charge and let this all play out.

[gab13by13]

5. You're kidding, right?

Garland hasn't made up his mind yet whether it is proper to indict a former president.

Next month DOJ will be busy defending Trump (the office) against E. Jeanne Carroll, the woman he supposedly raped in a clothing store change room.

11. DOJ doesn't have to "take them back"

DOJ has the documents seized at Mar-a-Lago. Under Cannon’s order they are limited in how they can use them and have provide copies to Trumps lawyers—those two aspects of the order (among many) are problematic.

[delisen]

6. People had great hopes for Mueller and those hopes were dashed.

I think it is best to not be hopeful and just deal with facts.

[JohnSJ]

9. First of all, I think this decision will be appealed because it sets up an extremely dangerous

precedent, that I would find it very difficult to allow. Canon's decision has been viewed by the vast majority the legal community as extremely flawed, and that has come from both republicans and Democratic legal authorities, including those who were part of the trump administration.

It needs to be noted that when trump's legal team tried to overturn the the vote count in several critical swing states in the 2020 election, their legal arguments were ll soundly rejected, and this included judges who were appointed by trump.

The purpose of what trump's legal team is trying to do, is not to give trump possession of property that is not his to possess, but simply delay the process, as he has always done his worthless life.

As for Dearie's position about not being a friend, it is about being a neutral party, and there is no evidence to suggest otherwise.

[Fiendish Thingy]

13. Dearie won't likely be reviewing any documents soon, if ever

This case will be appealed all the way to SCOTUS.

DOJ only accepted Dearie on the off chance Cannon would reverse herself and exclude the 100 classified documents. She didn’t, so DOJ will appeal, first to the 11th circuit, then to SCOTUS.

[Ponietz]

14. One of his former law clerks has high praise

And I give it some weight since he was a long-time Public Defender.
