That's funny, DOJ appealed the appointment of the special master officially October 14th.Dearies actions are not tied up in court anymore as the 11th Circuit ruled that the DOJ:
So while Judge Dearie put the FPOTUS legal team in a bind saying (to paraphrase) put-up or shut-up, the classified documents are no longer even part of the Special Master review. Then they whined to Judge Cannon saying (to paraphrase) "their being mean and we don't wanna". With the 11th ruling on the question of classified documents, as they are clearly classified government property, they are now outside the scope of his purpose.
- does not have to turn classified documents over to the defense, and
- that the DOJ can continue to use the classified documents as part of their criminal investigation.
It was a major loss for the FPOTUS as he (a) wanted them INCLUDED in the Special Master review as part of a delaying process for court proceedings, and (b) the DOJ was allowed to proceed with the criminal investigation surrounding the mishandling and the refusal to return the classified documents.
