I believe the special master will be done with his review rather quickly.

[fightforfreedom]

Judge Dearie is nothing like Judge Cannon the idiot. He has a lot of experience and he understands national security. Andrew Weissmann and others speak very highly of him.

1. I expect it to take 4-5 months, would that be 'quickly' or 'slowly'?

Seems to me that thousands of things needing to be looked at for critical issues, deliberated on, annotated for justifying each decision is going to take us at least up near if not into the new year.

2. The idiot Judge gave him until Nov 30th to finish his review.

I think he will be finished much earlier than that. I see no reason why this judge and his staff cannot quickly go through the unclassified documents quickly. I don't know if he will be allowed to look at the secret documents. I don't think that has been ruled on yet.

3. He could complete it in days, but then it goes back to the judge who is free to "sit on it" or

discount his findings. My guess is she would just sit on it until November 30--or indefinitely--all the while holding up DOJ. This is why successful appeal is so damned important.

4. I think that you are an eternal optomist fightfirfreedom. As usual I hope that you are right

but don't share your optimism.

[hamsterjill]

14. Right?

I agree with you in both aspects of your post.

[Meowmee]

5. I suspect it will drag on

As long as possible, which was the intention.

6. Yeah everyone spoke highly of Mueller as well, but he ended up being a repug not patriot.

Will Dearing be like him? You know he was approached about this in advance and tfg wouldn't put out his name without assurances of ruling for him. I fear this is yet another ploy, Garland got played and lost again, and Dearie will give executive privilege and let tfg get away with his destrudtion. There is no way in hell tfg suggested an honest person - NONE.

7. That's what I think, if he is so highly respected why in the hell did Trump

suggest him? He is from NY same as Trump, there has to be a connection.

8. Only question is it an exchange of $$ or dirt?

Either way we are most likely very fucked!

9. Alan Dershowitz? Epstein? Just speculating.

Here is a thread on the supposedly respectable Trump lawyer

10. I'm an optimist on this...

I believe the Special Master will rule rather quickly that the DOJ should have possession of the classified documents, but will be over-ruled by Judge Cannon.

It will then be up to the Eleventh Circuit to over-rule the Judge or let it be appealed to the next Court. It depends on how many are working with Trump to delay the process.

The next couple of weeks should be very interesting.

13. It is already appealed to the 11 th...happened yesterday I think.

[kentuck]

16. But they haven't ruled on anything yet?

Right?

[Demsrule86]

17. It was submitted yesterday. But I think they may very well rule in DOJ favor especially with the

fact Trump's attorney worked as a foreign agent.

11. He's known for being super slow

I’m guessing that’s one of the reasons #Traitor’s team wanted him.

Drag out the process, delay and stall has been a standard TrumpCo policy for decades

[Demsrule86]

12. I doubt it...Trump picked him for a reason. We just don't know why yet.

[hamsterjill]

15. If Trump was okay with Dearie

Then there’s something wrong with him. Sorry, but that’s just the way I see it.
