There is literally no excuse to oppose assigning a special master to review this information. Generally in any raid where there would be potential dispute over what the raid had authority to take and what they did not have had authority to take a special master would be assigned. A special master is the person who goes through that information and determines what was legitimate (and provides that to the FBI to move forward with) and what was outside of that scope (and withholds it from the FBI). They would hold the highest levels of security clearance and are bound to secrecy.
This is a protection against the FBI using and all encompassing warrant and then going on a wild goose chase looking for anything incriminating. This also protects things like attorney client privilege and other items that law enforcement would have no right (or business) going through. Special masters are used all the time. The fact that the FBI is refusing to allow one in this case is extraordinary and extremely hard to justify under any circumstances.
Andrew McCarthy has continued to suggest that the actual warrant in this case was just a false pretense. He believes that they got a judge to sign off on something so they could pull as much out of Mar-a-Lago as they can, looking for something incriminating over Jan 6th. He claims that the FBI will use the "in plain sight" argument that would suggest they have the right to use anything that is "in plain sight" to justify going after another crime.
So under the false pretense of looking over every document so they can check if it might be classified, they can then use the "plain sight argument" if they run across anything tied to any other matters they are pursuing. However, if a special master is assigned to go through it first... well they they would never have the chance to stumble onto anything "in plain sight". The information they would be allowed to see would be specific to the documents that are associated with the so called "espionage" or in other words, just the classified information. Nothing else would be made available.
If McCarthy is right, then a special master would cut the FBI strategy out at the knees. If he is wrong, then what is the explanation behind not allowing the Special Master to go through it first?

You really don't understand the problem. And don't censor me again.
The Justice Department will want to keep an underlying affidavit for the warrant sealed to protect the sources from intimidation. The affidavit has the fine details about the reasons to issue a warrant. The source was probably one of his family or personal lawyer.
The Department of Justice should release it, even though it may help the defendant.
It would clear all doubts.
People who want to dismantle the Department of Justice and the FBI and other organizations, clear down to the EPA that President Nixon initiated that has improved air quality in most metropolitan areas.
The affidavit has the fine details.
Have a great vacation 😀
The FBI still hasn't raided any of Epstein's clients who were having sex with underage girls
Despite having the client list (still undisclosed and sealed)
They still haven't raided the Bidens's
Despite having a now verified laptop exposing crimes and a "big guy"
The FBI let evidence be destroyed so people couldn't confirm that Hillary hadn't broken the law. Among other actions
The FBI pled guilty to altering evidence so FISA search warrants could be obtained. And got a slap on the wrist
The FBI actions all go one way
against Republicans
and this list is nowhere near complete
They are Bidens stormtroopers
we are fucked
If the target continued to violate the law after receiving the notice, we had the proof we needed. The witnesses in the affidavit witnessesed him breaking the law??
The jury would have to decide if he or she is credible.
Have a great vacation 😀
The law is so fascinating.
Not sure what that word salad means Roger...
But the witness to the affidavit would have nothing to do with a jury. Whether or not this search is ultimately deemed legal or not will be decided by the courts... something like this could end up in the USSC.
If I were Garland... I better hope my findings justified this sort of search and they better be in regards to proving the "espionage" portions of the warrant (which would be the only thing that could have justified a 30 agent with guns raid on a private residence).
In other words...
If they find no evidence of espionage (meaning evidence that Trump had sold or otherwise traded top secret documents to harm our country) then this is going to look bad.... forever! THe worst case of partisan Government overreach in history.
And no... simply having documents marked classified is not espionage.
Thank God Ass 🤡 Garland never got on the USSC.
Alky watching reruns is CSI isn’t giving you insight into the law
If Trump gets the GOP nomination, which I strngly doubt for all kinds of reasons, but if he does get nominated for president
--what would prevent Liz Cheney from pulling a Ross Perot?

Yes they did: Trump.

Your opinions are wrong.
We learned years ago that Drudge hates Trump. His headlines are a clear parroting of democrat misinformation. He had a headline stating Trump could be indicted for mishandling of classified information ( never mind all the democrats who sidestepped the same charges). But the headline immediately following talks about punishment for violating the espionage act. This is bogus because that act is something completely different. It's like a doctor diagnosing a disease but prescribing for a different disease.
Is it true that Russian state television is claiming that Russian officials are "studying" top secret and other classified documents Donald Trump took with him to Mar-A-Lago?
Lawyer not Roger
If the target continued to violate the law after receiving the notice, we had the proof we needed.
DOJ’s repeated requests and demands to Trump and his team served the same purpose. It will be difficult for Trump to claim that he did not realize that the records he kept were national security secrets that rightfully belonged to the government, given that the government repeatedly told him so and demanded their return.
They built the case on that
DOJ’s repeated requests and demands
There is a record of one subpoena which the Trump team cooperated with. They had not issued any other subpoenas since according to everyone in the know.
Not sure where the media is coming up with "repeated requests and demands" for classified materials - as the only way this can be done is via a subpoena. Perhaps there are "secret" "sealed" subpoenas that were ignored, but if that was the underlying affidavit - then there is no reason to seal it.

Top Secret documents can't be removed from a secure site.
Adios amigo

Someone is lying as "anonymous"
Must be the POS "pastor" who lies constantly
Trump flew up with Epstein once when Trump's jet had a mechanical issue
He was a causal acquaintance
He quickly figured out Epstein and broke off contact and barred him from Mar-a-Lago
unlike Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Bill Richardson, Prince Andrew etc.
and never a "client"
The Clinton's ever come clean on how Epstein's groomer had an aisle seat at Chelsea's wedding ?
Or why Epstein had a prominent piece of art with Bill in Monaca's blue dress hanging on his apartment wall ?
odd
as were the many trips to Pedo Island
of course, no one knows how Epstein made all his money
or why even Joe Biden regularly vacationed near Pedo Island
or showered with his own daughter for that matter.
but he sure was anxious to recover that diary
or at least the FBI was
I wonder what they found in Epstein's safe ?
under "seal"
Judge who approved FBI’s Mar-a-Lago search represented clients linked to Jeffrey Epstein
odd
unseal the unredacted affidavit
immediately
Banana Republic
Biden Crime Family
meanwhile Hunter is vacationing with pop at a private $20 million-dollar beachside mansion after flying in on Air Force 1
and Pelosi took her Chinese profiting son with her to Taiwan
and poor Liz Cheney has seen her net worth grow from $6 million to over $44 million
astute "investors" all
FBI buy any of Hunter's $500,000 paintings?
would make sense
Garland could hang them in his office
or Wray's

I won the presidency.
No you did not.
All they had to do was ask. When asked, I gave all the documents back
No you did not.
The documents were planted.
No they were not.
Obama did it too.
No he did not.
Obama took classified documents with him to Chicago.
No he dud not.
I declassified the documents.
No you did not.
________
Laugh of the video:
Trump declassified the documents?
How? By holding them against his forehead?
_______
Trump, wyy did you even have those documents?
What did you think you would do with them?
And why did you not give all of them back when asked?
(A lot of his followers are asking that too.)
Another seven comments from Roger... all repeating for the 100th time that he believes that Trump is guilty of a crime. He repeated the law against mishandling documents in three of those comments. He put links to the same law in a couple.
In case anyone does not have an understanding of the laws in question and need Roger's help in explaining it to you... let me know and I will be happy to point you in the correct direction!
Top Secret documents can't be removed from a secure site.
Sure they can!
Just ask Hillary Clinton and James Comey. Both did just that. Hillary had more classified information on her unsecured server (that almost every expert believed was hacked)... than Trump likely had the boxes that nobody could get to, was under lock and key and had a video surveillance feed that the FBI could review.
Get your facts straight Roger.
Democrats can remove classified materials and put them on private servers or send them to the media to be published. It's only "Trump" who cannot do so.
Hey Reverend....
Sorry to say that it will not be up to Trump to answer your stupid questions. If the Biden Gestapo Administration wants to charge his probable 2024 opponent THEY will need to prove their case!
So what smoking gun proof that anything nefarious was done with any of the material "marked" classified (but may not be anymore)?
What proof have you seen that anything was done that was worse than Clinton exposing our secrets to foreign governments by keeping classified information on and unsecured private server or James Comey literally admitting he took home secured FBI property and leaked to the media?
I will wait for your PROOF Reverend.
I am a patient man. I will look through all your comments and publish all of them that provide the actual proof (not speculation).
James. Ch...tried to use classic whataboutism, claiming that Hillary Clinton had 33 million classified documents and somehow sprinkled acid on them. That is false. Then suddenly, it was former President Barack Obama who had 33 million emails that were carted off to Chicago. The National Archives called that a lie on Friday as well.
Reverend...
Your insulting comment that tossed insults and me and Donald Trump was missing that thing called PROOF....
and no, Reverend. I am not watching a video on YouTube...
If there is proof, just tell us what it is and how it has been smoking gun verified! Stop with the links to things that nobody is going to read.
Whataboutism is a made up word from Liberals designed to justify their hypocrisy.
The FBI and DOJ has made it clear that "no reasonable prosecutor" would charge someone for simply having classified materials. Comey made it clear that the FBI REQUIRED proof of nefarious intent to do something harmful to the United States with that classified information.
Suggesting that a Republican politician be treated exactly like a Democratic politician is logical and fairminded. Demanding that Trump be treated differently and suggesting otherwise is "whataboutism" just proves how easily you fall for the lastest made up liberal buzz phrase.
A snippet of the "insurrectionists" demanding Capitol Police call for more backup
No wonder they and DOJ don't want to release the entire 14,000 hours of video
It would give a clear picture of what actually was going on
Also need to come clean with what FBI actors were also involved

then things like the Jan 6th "committee" and FBI raids would not be happening

You criticized me for saying things you did not let the readers see that I had said. Does that not suggest that your criticism could be grossly distorted?
