This morning, Special Master Judge Raymond J. Dearie filed an order regarding former President Donald Trump and the Justice Department's joint Log of Disputes for Filter Materials. An itemized list of documents within the privilege review team's custody from Aug. 30 was partially made public through a court filing error on Oct. 5, shedding light on some filter materials that remain disputed.

Dearie's order states that Trump will not assert attorney-client privilege or attorney work product for a range of 28 Bates-numbered materials under Filter A out of 137 Bates-numbered materials. Dearie ordered that these materials not under dispute for attorney-client privilege or attorney work product be sent to the Case Team, who will work with Trump to resolve or narrow the disputes regarding claims of executive privilege and designations pursuant to the Presidential Records Act by Oct. 22.

Dearie will review the rest of the documents within Filter A and Filter C (the latter of which was not accidentally made public) and "endeavor to promptly" issue a report making recommendations regarding Plaintiff’s assertions of attorney-client privilege and/or attorney work product doctrine. Some of the documents remaining under dispute within Filter A include an "unsigned letter from Kasowitz Benson & Torres to Robert Mueller dated 6/23/2017" and a number of National Archives and Records Administration-related documents.

Dearie ordered that materials within Filter B, all of which the parties jointly recommended need not be adjudicated by Special Master Dearie except one (B-076, which Dearie ultimately decided he did not need to adjudicate on), be returned to Trump by Oct. 10. Dearie did, however, direct the Privilege Review Team to retain a control copy of the materials.

3. Just about as long as it takes for her to get her marching orders from the Federalist Society.

4. Or her deposit in her Caymans account.

My guess is that if anyone could someday leak everything from the numerous Caymans laundromats - especially Paul Singer's NML - the GOP would cease to exist as we know it.

Count on it.

6. That too!

5. There is no executive privilege

We only have one president of the US at a time and the OG is not it.
