New: "Where's the beef? I need some beef," the special master in the Trump documents case told the former president's lawyers.
He was referring to wanting more meat on the bones of claims that some documents were protected by privilege.

Special Master Tells Trump to Back Up Privilege Claims
October 18, 2022 at 2:56 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

“The special master reviewing materials seized by the FBI from former President Donald Trump’s compound in Florida expressed skepticism on Tuesday about early claims by Mr. Trump’s lawyers that certain documents were privileged and thus could be withheld from a Justice Department investigation,” the New York Times reports.

“In a phone conference, the special master, Judge Raymond Dearie of Federal District Court in Brooklyn, complained that the log of an initial batch of documents over which Mr. Trump is seeking to claim privilege lacked sufficient information to determine whether the arguments were valid.”

Said Drearie: “It’s a little perplexing as I go through the log. What’s the expression — ‘Where’s the beef?’ I need some beef.”

2. Where's the math?

As the hearing got underway, Judge Dearie also noted that even though Mr. Trump’s lawyers had at one point said that the 11,000 or so documents amounted to about 200,000 pages, the actual number has turned out to be only 21,792 pages.

3. The documents are NOT his and NEVER will be.

He’s holding them illegally and selling them to enemies, but hey just another day in repuke world.
