"Appeals court halts special master review of documents seized at
Mar-a-Lago in major defeat for Trump"

—
In a major defeat for former President Donald Trump, a federal appeals
court on Thursday halted a third-party review of documents seized from
his Mar-a-Lago estate.
The ruling removes a major obstacle to the Justice Department’s investigation into the mishandling of government records from Trump’s
time in the White House.
The three-judge panel of the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals reversed
US District Judge Aileen Cannon’s order appointing a so-called special master to sort through thousands of documents found at Trump’s home to determine what should be off limits to investigators. The court said the judge should not have intervened in the first place.
“The law is clear,” the appeals court wrote. “We cannot write a rule that allows any subject of a search warrant to block government investigations after the execution of the warrant. Nor can we write a
rule that allows only former presidents to do so.”

The 11th Circuit said that either approach would be a “radical
reordering of our caselaw limiting the federal courts’ involvement in criminal investigations” and that “both would violate bedrock separation-of-powers limitations.”"

I wonder how it will be until most Trumpers finally realize YKW is just a flim-flamming snake in the grass?
