Her reasoning was not flimsy. Who in the heck have you been listening to?

Bullshit.

@beta_cygni1950 the documents that they seized include attorney client privileged docs. And executive privilege docs. Classified docs are not included in attorney client. But May be under executive privilege. They seized medical records, tax records. Did you read the order?

@wallychambe1587 yes. I’m arguing with one now.

@beta_cygni1950 but not Professor Dershowitz who is a con law professor. Remember him?

@scott7385 yes. Actually I am. What is your problem? I will not sit down. It was a well researched and well written order by Judge Cannon. Special Masters are appointed on a regular basis to what is and what is not privileged. And her injunction is perfectly reasonable. What is the doj hiding? She asked during the hearing, what would be the harm? The doj attorney did not convince her of a harm and he or she admitted the leaks coming out of the doj and fbi. It’s ridiculous. I hope she issues a gag order. And you are?

@jsmith613 you are being ridiculous. It’s a legal argument. I wish I could block you. But you do you. I’m an attorney. Are you?

@beta_cygni1950 it’s never been litigated. But if so, that doesn’t make them right, nor does it call for making fun of me. It’s a legal thing. She’s an article three judge, confirmed by the Senate. Not som Trump hating magistrate. The special master would be an extension of her authority. Not someone who would go blab about national security matters. She has the authority for an in camera review. This is an extension of that authority. It’s done all of the time in legal privilege cases. She asked the government, what would be the harm? No harm would result. She did not enjoin the national security review. And, why do y’all believe every pundit on TV? If they aren’t practicing law, I wonder why? And if they are practicing lawyers, where do they get the time to be on tv. Just because they are on tv does not make them experts in constitutional or article three law. This judge should issue a gag order to stop the leaks. Two other points, if these documents are so important and such a risk to national security, why did the government wait 18 months to seek the search warrant? And three days to execute same? Because there was no emergency. Are you an attorney? Of course those attorneys disagree with me. They are paid to say what the liberal media wants them to say! I cannot believe you idiots buy every leak by the government and wrapped up in a bow by the Post and the Times as gospel when they did this same damn thing with the Russian Collusion crap. That led to not one thing but a waist of our tax dollars and the clearing of Trump after it was discovered that Hillary paid for the dossier, leaked it to the fbi, who leaked it to the media. Lies that ruined lives. The fbi lied to the fisa court and you want me to trust them on this. Come on guys. Be smarter than this.

@Uncaged_cricket you just defamed me by implying I’m something I’m not. I interpret the order just as many I’ve talked to have.

@scott7385 not I. I do not watch fox or newsmax. I read. I do not have so talking head read me the news. Can you say the same?

@TK-mf5in no. To cull out executive and attorney client docs. I’m an attorney. Are you? This has never happened before. The FBI raided the home of a former president who had every right to possess declassified docs. The PRA controls. It is not a criminal statute. If he had the right to possess the docs, he can’t have violated the other statutes in the warrant. Further, this was a general warrant that is unconstitutional on its face! And they took 40+ books, medical records, tax records, pictures, articles, and searched Barton’s bedroom! A special master would have to have security clearance. Of course they would. The judge could conduct an in camera review of the documents herself. Is that acceptable? The special master would be an extension of the court and bound by the same ethical and legal constraints. It’s not flimsy. The order said the government filter team had missed two documents that were attorney client privileged material. So. It has failed twice. And who knows if they missed more! This is not settled law! It’s never been litigated because it’s never happened before. I think you need to go back to the msm where you can be told lies, exaggerations, and outright ridiculous leaks by the DOJ to try this case in the court of public opinion instead of a court of law! After the FBI and the DOJ lied to the FISA court, lied to the public and wasted time and money spying on a political campaign and American citizens for two years, conspired with the Clinton campaign to do so in Crossfire Hurricane, fabricated a kidnapping plot in Michigan, they sat on hunter’s laptop for over a year and did nothing, despite evidence it contains about the big guy, they are trying political prisoners for trespassing. And you want me to trust the FBI filter team? Seriously? This is another political witch hunt. If Trump broke the law, sure go after him. But so far, I see no criminal offense here. They had a subpoena. They could have gone to the court in the case to get a enforcement order, but no! They shop for a Trump hating magistrate. Not an article three judge. Finally, flimsy is all y’all have to argue a legal issue? It’s not settled law and opinions do differ about this issue. Why you believe talking heads on tv, who are paid to say what the opinion show wants, is beyond belief. Those people are not legal experts. If they have time to go on tv, I doubt they are practicing attorneys, much less experts. Please read something and stop listening to msm.

@TK-mf5in please watch Professor Dershowitz’s video on the appointment of a special master. He’s the only talking attorney on tv I believe. He has never varied on his stance. He does not like trump but he represented Trump. He will never violate his integrity to go the air to say what they want. That’s why they are trying to cancel him.

@TK-mf5in oh I understand how it works. He said he declassified everything. I do not know if he did but you are wrong. The democrats may be government papers but he is going to have a library. To suggest he didn’t have the right to possess declassified docs is a misunderstanding of the PRA. It’s not settled law. Clinton was allowed to declare his tapes from his presidency as personal. The court said he had the right to do that. That was recently decided in 2016 I believe. The only other case about presidential documents said the president decides. You need to brush up on the law.
1
@TK-mf5in he could literally waive his arm over a doc and declare it declassified. You seem to not understand that. The markings don’t matter. He said he had a standing order, anything I take home is deemed declassified. He had that power. It’s a question of fact. Some bureaucrat in DC doesn’t out rank him. You are delusional if you think that some procedure needed to be followed. Even Obama exempted himself from his EO on declassification procedures. If he can show that he had a standing order, anything packed up and taken to his house on January 19, was declassified by them taking it. He did not have to follow some bureaucratic procedures. Seriously. He is the final arbiter of what is classified. Under the constitution which cannot by altered or changed by law. He was the chief executive. Period. Please read some opinions about the Presidential Records Act. It controls and is not a criminal statute.
1
@TK-mf5in and it is about the PRA. It’s about presidential records. Nara is a library complaining about government documents. It controls. Whether you realize that or no.
1
@TK-mf5in and why wait 18 months if the PRA does not control? There were negotiations going on about these docs. Then the feds broke all standards and got an illegal search warrant to search his house, that was overly broad and nonspecific to be valid under the 4th amendment.
1
@TK-mf5in I did read it. Classification laws do not limit the president’s power to declassify anything he wants to declassify. I’m not a pure Trump supporter. I have never given him a dime, never attended a rally, never bought anything from him. I am a conservative yes. But your dismissal of what I’m saying is pure leftist. I do not agree with you so you call me names. Congress cannot pass a law to amend the constitution. What you cited simply do not apply to president powers. Why can’t you understand that?
1
@beta_cygni1950 you know none of that. You cannot be arguing that the constitution does not apply here? That he may declassify anything he wants. Some procedure? Even Obama exempted himself from those procedures. Bureaucracy does not get to overrule a president. You are needing a primer on con law.
1
@beta_cygni1950 if you read it. It exempts the president from those procedures.
1
@beta_cygni1950 laugh all you want. The EO exempted the President. You go think about that. That’s why trump probably did not reverse it. It exempts him. But ok.

@scott7385 to what argument?
