Anyone know?

[Ocelot II]

1. Here:

(2) Disqualification. A master must not have a relationship to the parties, attorneys, action, or court that would require disqualification of a judge under 28 U.S.C. §455, unless the parties, with the court's approval, consent to the appointment after the master discloses any potential grounds for disqualification.

(3) Possible Expense or Delay. In appointing a master, the court must consider the fairness of imposing the likely expenses on the parties and must protect against unreasonable expense or delay.

(b) Order Appointing a Master.

(1) Notice. Before appointing a master, the court must give the parties notice and an opportunity to be heard. Any party may suggest candidates for appointment.

4. They separate privileged from non-privileged evidence....

Usually it is lawyer-client communications. Those cannot be used by prosecutors unless the master says it was in the execution of a crime.

She added Executive Priv. Nobody knows what that means since only biden can extend it. But this judge went off road.

Worst case, she appoints a trump lover who excludes everything, leaving the gov't with no evidence to proceed with.

It would be like they searched and came up with nothing. All crimes go away.

5. I can the see the Pig nominating Rudy or Bannon...

7. Paging John Barron.

Or Lindsey Graham.

6. I am pulling for MTG, who could be more impartial?

8. There is only a handful of people that qualify to read the highly classified

Documents and both parties have to agree. Look for Justice dept to appeal. As they should and go with a real judge who hasn’t been a judge for a few seconds.

9. I would

hope DOJ appeals.
