BREAKING Judge halts prosecutors from using Trump Mar-a-Lago materials for criminal investigation

"[T]he Court does not find that a temporary special master review under the present circumstances would cause undue delay [to the investigation]," said Judge Aileen Cannon of the Southern District of Florida, granting Trump's motion for a third-party review to look for privileged materials.

— Steven Portnoy September 5, 2022 LINDSEY GRAHAM PREDICTS RIOTS IF TRUMP IS PROSECUTED OVER CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS Trump is under investigation for possible violations of the Espionage Act and obstruction of justice over his handling of documents after leaving office, according to the unsealed search warrant. Trump claims he declassified all the documents stored at Mar-a-Lago, as the Justice Department says dozens of records and empty folders with classified markings were found, and the former president has denied any wrongdoing.

A government"filter team" has"already completed its work of segregating any seized materials that are potentially subject to attorney-client privilege, and the government’s investigative team has already reviewed all of the remaining materials, including any that are potentially subject to claims of executive privilege," the DOJ filing added.

As the trump lawyers argue, the issue is one of privileged materials. Illegal possession of government documents isn't privileged. Well wait until the master concludes his mission for privileged docs and then we resume the issue of stolen docs. Might take as long as IRS audit.

Trump Judge blocked criminal investigation using classified docs seized in FBI raid of ousted MAGA leader's home? Rotten justice system.

Victory!!! 🙌

Thank you, Judge
