Which would be the shorter delay?

[kentuck]

Since the whole purpose of Trump's request for a Special Master is to delay the investigation, would a Special Master take longer than an appeal thru the Courts?

If it is not challenged, it will become a precedent.

It does appear that there will be no indictments before the election in November. Both investigations will likely continue after the election, making the elections critical to the continuation of the process.

The stolen documents investigation will be put on the back burner to simmer while the j6 Committee completes its works and the DOJ shifts focus temporarily as the Special Master finishes their work.

Trump would probably prefer the DOJ to appeal so it would give him an avenue to get the case to the Supreme Court and get a ruling from "his" Justices?

1. Special Master in this case, in my mind, is moot

Make unhappen what has already happened with the highest force of the law. WTF?

3. Aren't they making it "unhappen" via the injunction against the DOJ doing it's job? nt

5. I'm no lawyer, are injunctions retroactive?

Injunction is to prevent harm from some action.

4. Recommended.

Great question. I think we will find out, as I'm sure the DOJ will explore each of the options.
