Donald Trump 'on a fast track to prosecution' as Florida judge ends Mar-a-Lago special master

[douglas9]

District Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday officially ended a special master proceeding that former President Donald Trump had sought after government documents were seized from his Mar-a-Lago resort.

Last week, the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Cannon should have never initiated the proceedings in the first place.

"We cannot write a rule that allows any subject of a search warrant to block government investigations after the execution of the warrant," Judge William Pryor for a unanimous panel ruling. "Nor can we write a rule that allows only former presidents to do so. Either approach would be a radical reordering of our caselaw limiting the federal courts' involvement in criminal investigations. And both would violate bedrock separation-of-powers limitations."

On Monday, Cannon made the termination of the special master proceeding official.

5. Even Barbara McQuade left the wait and see crowd.

She could not believe that DOJ never subpoenaed communications between the fake electors and the White House. This should have been done a year and a half ago. The Michigan SOS even said that she would prosecute the Michigan fake electors if DOJ did not. She should have, she would be much farther along.

Christmas is coming, can't indict until next year. Primaries are 400 days away minus the 60 days prior.
