U.S. Will Accept Trump Nominee for Special Master
September 12, 2022 at 8:02 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

“The Justice Department filed court papers Monday signaling that it would accept a former chief federal judge in New York as a special master charged with reviewing papers seized by the FBI from former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and club,” the Washington Post reports.

“U.S. District Court judge Aileen Cannon still must approve Raymond Dearie’s appointment for the document review — which has stalled the Justice Department’s criminal probe — to go forward.”

presumably this is completely independent of their appeal and request to limit the duties of the special master

2. Here's more from the WaPo article:

Quote:
Dearie, 78, still serves as a judge in Brooklyn federal court, albeit on senior status, which means he can take a reduced caseload if he chooses. He was the U.S Attorney in Brooklyn in the 1980s — a time when the office’s workload was dominated by the pursuit of mobsters, gang leaders, and financial fraudsters. Dearie was nominated to the federal bench by President Ronald Reagan and became one of the most highly-regarded jurists in the Eastern District of New York. He previously served on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which oversees sensitive national security cases.

3. Given his background, I have to wonder if he's a friend of Rudy.
