Trump seeks special master to review Mar-a-Lago documents

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump asked a federal judge Monday to halt the FBI’s review of documents recovered from his Florida estate earlier this month until a neutral special master can be appointed to inspect the records.

The request was included in a federal lawsuit, the first filing by Trump’s legal team in the two weeks since the search, that takes broad aim at the FBI investigation into the discovery of classified records at Mar-a-Lago and that foreshadows arguments his lawyers are expected to make as the probe proceeds.

The lawsuit casts the Aug. 8 search, in which the FBI said it recovered 11 sets of classified documents from Mar-a-Lago, as a “shockingly aggressive move.” It also attacks the warrant as overly broad, contends that Trump is entitled to a more detailed description of the records seized from the home and argues that the FBI and Justice Department has long treated him “unfairly.”

“Law enforcement is a shield that protects America. It cannot be used as a weapon for political purposes,” the lawyers wrote Monday. “Therefore, we seek judicial assistance in the aftermath of an unprecedented and unnecessary raid” at Mar-a-Lago.

There was no need for this raid. There was no need for 30+ agents coming at dawn all armed up and wearing ballistic protection. There was no need for the overly broad search. No need to search Melania’s closet. The idea was to put Trump on the defensive, to make him look bad. But, come on, most either love him or hate him. But, what of the middle ground who liked his policies but couldn’t stand the constant yapping and tweeting?

Trump turns his legal battle after FBI search into political rallying cry

Donald Trump’s new lawsuit over the FBI search of his Florida resort codifies his political fury into a legal strategy and implicitly spells out how the ex-President intends to exploit the drama as a springboard for his likely 2024 White House bid. (snip)

While the motion is a formal legal document, it serves as a political roadmap that explains how Trump would style himself as a presidential candidate persecuted, as he sees it, for partisan reasons by the Biden administration. It’s also offers 27 pages of talking points for Trump’s GOP allies and serves to take the focus away from the core questions in the case: did he illegally and recklessly keep classified information and government secrets to which he was not entitled and which could put national security as risk? And did Trump or those around him try to obstruct the investigators from continuing their pursuit?

CNN tries, of course, to beat on Trump, but, what’s happening here is that it entices Trump to run for president. If the media and the government moonbats with Trump Derangement Syndrome had just moved on, Trump may have moved on. Not now. And it gives Americans a good view of how Government can simply do whatever they want whenever they want. If they can do this to Trump, they can do this to you. That will resonate will lots of middle ground voters.
