In an order Thursday, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon named Raymond J. Dearie, senior U.S district judge for the Eastern District of New York, to review all of the materials seized on Aug. 8.so it could continue to review the seized documents for use in an ongoing criminal investigation. Cannon denied that request, saying she isn’t prepared to accept all of the department's assertions at face value without the special master review process.

“The Court does not find it appropriate to accept the Government’s conclusions on these important and disputed issues without further review by a neutral third party in an expedited and orderly fashion,” Cannon wrote in the Thursday evening ruling.by Trump's legal team for the role of special master. The Justice Department, which had proposed two candidates of its own, later approved of Dearie for the role.U.S.

Well that just sucks doesn't it.. How can we get rid of all these non experienced judges, That Trump appt? Is We don't is the answer?

Cannon is a bought and paid for disgrace to the bench.

Dated August 22. Why are they recirculating this? More clicks?

Emphasis on TRUMP APPOINTED JUDGE!!

This MAGA Judge should be disbarred for being complicit in his Violation of the Espionage Act. She’s enabling him to delay being indicted. She should have recused herself, it has to be a conflict to hear a case pertaining to the Man who appointed her!

screw that judge, we are talking about national security and the dangerously negative impact of classified secrets that possibly were exposed. those documents are not trumps and therefore not his property and as such neither he nor his lackey judge have any say in the matter.

Judge Cannon is a hired stooge who has very little judicial skills.

🙋🏽‍♀️It’s hard out here when the Justice Department can’t get justice. glennkirschner2

So their appealing ?

After 7 years of non-stop harassment, you'd like to think they'd find something.... Lol. Yeee-haw !!!🤠!!!

DOJ will appeal this case before judge Dearie gets to see anything.

Gee another one of Trump’s judges fkng over the people again.

Trump was wrong for taking the documents. Trump just said that if he is arrested this country will see the worst violence ever seen! DOJ should call his bluff! He is a criminal! Lock him up! Let's see how many sycophants are willing to die for him! He has just declared war! 😠

Your wasting tax payer dollars on a political witch hunt. STOP!!!...

Trump has been under investigation since Russian collusion.

That’s not fish I smell

DOJ - Worthless - Garland - Useless.

If anything happens to a field agent because of the halt of moving forward. It will be blood on the hands of this judge. This is not a board game being played. It is real life & death issues for individuals and possibly much larger amounts of American citizens

Really don't see why you need someone to review what was recovered, they have classifications & so been reviewed already. Just seems like an attempt by a Trump insider to delay things u til after the elections in November or indefinitely.

He thinks he’s a king

Nothing like having a judge in your pocket! 45 is the epitome of disgust. As are all his minions. More deplorable is the idea he’ll walk away from all this unscathed.Along with his toadies. What can we do? Vote them all out of office! Each & every one of them!!

ImpeachBidenNow

It's like we're living in the twilight zone.

Good! If the DOJ/FBI have nothing to hide this should help the prosecution! But wait, they are appealing the appointment. Maybe they do have something thing to hide!

A federal judge shouldn’t have such unchecked powers. Unprecedented.

Trumps are untouchable

🙄

DOJ needs to appeal.

I hope the doj is investigating this judge and the soecial master to make sure they are not being paid off.

Judge appoints special master to review materials seized from Mar-A-LagoFederal Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, denied a request from the Justice Department to put a hold on the process, naming senior federal Judge Raymond Dearie to review materials by Nov. 30. Cool. So when I steal nuclear secrets I can ask for this too right? We now have precedent. Ohhhhhh wait, if I mistakenly touched a piece of paper with nuclear secrets I would have been executed for treason a month ago. Yes, that judge is compromised and should be removed immediately! Those are NOT his documents, he stole those documents and then LIED about it. What is the matter with this judge?! She's a political hack.

Special Master Appointed to Review All Records Seized at Trump’s Mar-a-LagoThe Justice Department had argued for excluding classified material from the review. The decision could prolong a court battle over the Justice Department inquiry into the sensitive materials found at Mar-a-Lago. If Melania is the rat don’t redact her name for trump ... and the 11th Circuit isn't going to reverse. Too bad for you Merrick Slow walking this investigation is the point. Preferably until the mid- term.
