The Thunder Rolls: Donald Trump releases dramatic political video after FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago

The claim, reported by Fox News, raises new questions about the DOJ’s tactics, as well as doubts about whether the DOJ would be able to use any of the seized materials in a hypothetical prosecution of the former president.

The DOJ is apparently opposing the appointment of a “special master,” a judicial official who would conduct an independent review and decide which materials could be handed over to the government and which materials would have to be returned to Trump and his attorneys.

The attorney-client privilege, protected under the right to counsel guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, means that almost any communications from a client to his or her attorney cannot be revealed.


The only exceptions to the rule are when a client is communicating the intent to commit a future crime, or when the attorney is involved in a joint criminal or fraudulent endeavor. A confession of past crimes is still covered by the privilege.

FBI Director Christopher Wray was appointed by Trump, and Attorney General Merrick Garland was confirmed with bipartisan support, so what is your excuse?
I’m the one asking for an independent review of the seized boxes to determine what is in them. The FBI does not need a court order.

You don’t trust the government to respect attorney-client privilege, so what independent review would you possibly trust?
 
Well, who? António Guterres? Piotr Hofmański? Pope Francis?
The way these are done is the DOJ requests a federal judge to make the appointment. The judge can solicit in put from both sides but ultimately the judge decides who.

So Merrick Garland asks Katanji Brown Jackson to pick somebody, and you will go along with that without question?
