THIS IS TOTALLY NUTS !! Trump files motion seeking "special master" to view Mar-a-Lago evidence
Lawyers for former President Donald Trump asked a federal judge Monday to halt the FBI's review of documents recovered from his Florida estate earlier this month until a neutral special master can be appointed to inspect the records.
This is like a serial killer asking that all the bodies dug up from his basement not be autopsied unless he can have his own doctor look at them first.
Update Florida judge and Trump appointee Judge Aileen M. Cannon sent back Trump's filing to his "Legal Team" basically saying "this rubbish, take it away do it again and then send it to another judge who is actually involved with the case, because I have no time for this inept garbage."
To update, the text of Trumps filing has been released and his request for a special master (an actual but near obsolete legal term) is based on his contention that many of the documents are subject to "executive privilege" and therefore are his personal property. Also that had the national archive asked he would have returned all the documents, and further that continued persecution of former president Trump is causing national unrest and that therefore the matter should either be dropped or carried out under the auspices of a Trump appointed special master to "assist" with the "Defusing mounting pressure"
