In a 21-page motion that echoes much of the former president’s claims that the search was politically motivated, Trump’s attorneys ask for outside oversight to ensure the materials seized from his home do not include items they argue could be protected by executive privilege.
The suit comes after Trump on Friday floated that he would pursue legal action to protect his Fourth Amendment rights regarding unreasonable searches and seizures.
Trump’s attorneys contend this means he was “fully cooperative” and complain that the Justice Department “has refused to provide President Trump with any reason for the unprecedented, general search of his home.”
It's a looooooooong article. I've highlighted small parts of it.
A Special Master comes up from time to time. My wife worked in law firms from time to time over the years. She'd mention them occasionally when one of the lawyers from her firm was serving in that role in someone else's case.
From the beginning, commentators on the right, who are not bonkers, have suggested that the real reason for this broad, nonspecific Search Warrant is nothing more than a J6 Committee ploy to forage through Trump documents for more fuel for its Show Trial.
And, that suggestion seems perfectly reasonable to pb.
