I hope that the special master gets a retainer. TFG's latest counsel got a $3 million retainer because no one trusts TFG to pay his bills

Cannon had previously ruled that not only should a special master must be appointed to review the seized documents, she enjoined the Justice Department from using the documents in its investigation of Trump for crimes involving the Espionage Act in the interim.
In a joint filing laying out areas of agreement and disagreement between the DoJ and Team Trump, the two sides submitted their own candidates for Special Master, and argued over who would pay for the review, as well as whether the DoJ would be permitted to continue their review of the 100 classified documents seized.

(22,191 posts)tRUMP's crime of espionage and preventing the government from moving more swiftly in pinpointing what happened to these missing documents (they could already be in the hands of foreign intelligence and on their way out of the Country). I would say that National Security trumps everything that she's so concerned about in having tRUMP suffer so much, from (1) his crimes he committed against this Country) (2) our government must move quickly to pinpoint where all of these documents (the ones still missing, still unaccounted for) and seize those documents that they can still stop our foreign adversaries from using this information.
She is guilty just as much as tRUMP is in Espionage. Arrest her!

All of a sudden he'll be all, Can't you hurry it up, I'm not paying you to read every fucking word, let's get this thing done! I hope Dearie's hourly rate is crushing.

(6,017 posts)I realize Trump likely has to pay the court which than pays the actual expenses, but the optics are terrible and it opens the door for Trump to offer the SM a little extra on the side.
