WTF???

We don't get an impartial special master?

I guess it's to be expected, since the judge who ruled in his favor can't necessarily be trusted as impartial. She's in that job because he gave it to her in the first place.

approximately forever and never happen unless the DOJ agrees to a toady.

My guess is that he'll choose Old Rudy or Sydney Powell.

I suspect she'll ignore the rules and appoint whoever that orange pile of ...demands.

this judge has shown that precedent and usual procedures aren't really a thing she believes in.

My bet is that if he demands Don Jr. be the special master, she'll say "OK".

I hope I'm wrong, but this isn't her being a judge, this is her being a Republican operative.

It will be hard for both sides to find somebody to agree to and you can bet Trump will insist on totally unreasonable choices.

Both sides can submit a list of candidates which she can consider, but there is likely to be no common names.

She will still apooint one, based on rules established by the court.

Basically, the person has to be impartial, not a convicted criminal, and meets whatever criteria she establishes for the specifics of this case.

Basically, she will have a pretty free hand. Unless there is something in the persons past the doj can object to, the choice would stand.

Sworn and vetted FBI Agents at Mar a Slum were not allowed to view the documents they seized, so good luck trying to find a Top Secret, Code-level and Compartmented, and Special Access Program cleared - LAWYER.

That person may not exist.
