DOJ reply brief in Special Master destroys TFG's claims/right for special master

[LetMyPeopleVote]

The DOJ filed a reply brief to TFG's weak brief on whether Judge Lose Cannon had the authority to appoint a special master. Oral arguments were scheduled on this case before the DOJ filed its reply brief. Such oral arguments will be on Tuesday of Thanksgiving week.

Here is a link to the reply brief filed by the DOJ.

The two reasons advanced by TFG for the need for a special master have either been dropped or found to be without merit. TFG in his response brief essential dropped the claims based on executive privilege and so far the special master has found one document that may be subject to attorney client privilege.

Here is a fun analysis of this filing by the DOJ

The DOJ brief is strong and the prior TFG brief was a piece of crap. The oral arguments will be to watch

1. Interesting, and a clear & easy to follow synopsis. Fun read - thanks! nt

3. The lawyers involved should also be referred to the bar for misconduct

The privilege bullshit had a sliver of a slice of a Hail Mary but the “thinking it makes it personal argument” is abuse of the court and should be punished.

4. This was the TFG A-team including the $3 million dollar lawyer

8. Maybe he should have stuck with Jenna Ellis lol

Since a parking ticket lawyer could come up with the same thing!!!

5. The TFG personal property claim makes no sense

6. I cannot imagine a Trump team response to this that holds water.

"Your Honors, we refer you to the case of Finders v. Keepers which was cited in the case of Bully v. Nerd allowing plaintiff to keep the lunch money."

7. Too bad the court can't order Cannon to be taken out behind the woodshed.

9. DOJ officially tells appeals court that Jack Smith approves all of the arguments presented

The oral arguments for the DOJ appeal of Judge Loose Cannon's special master ruling were amusing. TFG's attorneys filed TFG's response on Monday of last week and the DOJ reply brief was due on Thursday. On Wednesday of last week, the 11th Circuit scheduled oral arguments for today, Nov. 22.

Jack Smith has read all of the pleadings and has approved the oral arguments.
