'Deeply Problematic':ExpertsQuestion Judge's Intervention/TrumpInquiry

A federal judge’s extraordinary decision Monday to interject in the criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump’s hoarding of sensitive government documents at his Florida residence showed unusual solicitude to him, legal specialists said.This was “an unprecedented intervention by a federal district judge into the middle of an ongoing federal criminal and national security investigation,” said Stephen I. Vladeck, a law professor at the University of Texas.

Siding with Trump, the judge, Aileen M. Cannon, ordered the appointment of an independent arbiter to review the more than 11,000 government records the FBI seized in its search of Mar-a-Lago last month. She granted the arbiter, known as a special master, broad powers that extended beyond filtering materials that were potentially subject to attorney-client privilege to also include executive privilege.

Cannon, a Trump appointee who sits on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, also blocked federal prosecutors from further examining the seized materials for the investigation until the special master had completed a review.

This is worrisome and exactly the reason for all of the Trump judicial appointees. It's like a chess game and he has all his pieces in place. He wasn't finished following through and the loss of the presidency interrupted his plan to do more harm to our democracy. The "evil ones" want to change the US Constitution.

The prosecutors told Cannon that if she did not grant their request to suspend parts of her ruling by September 15, they'd seek the intervention of the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals.

Former Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday said the decision by a Florida judgeto grant former President Donald rump's request for a special master to review the documents seized by the FBI from Mar-a-Lago is "deeply flawed" and urged the Justice Department to appeal it.

"The opinion, I think, was wrong, and I think the government should appeal it. It's deeply flawed in a number of ways," Barr said
