In Documents Review, Special Master Tells Trump Team to Back Up Privilege Claims

 

The special master reviewing materials seized by the F.B.I. from former President Donald J. Trump’s compound in Florida expressed skepticism on Tuesday about early claims by Mr. Trump’s lawyers that certain documents were privileged and thus could be withheld from a Justice Department investigation.

 

In a phone conference, the special master, Judge Raymond J. Dearie of Federal District Court in Brooklyn, complained that the log of an initial batch of documents over which Mr. Trump is seeking to claim privilege lacked sufficient information to determine whether the arguments were valid.

 

Judge Dearie encouraged Mr. Trump’s lawyers to give him a better sense of why they believed the documents could be lawfully shielded from the Justice Department’s inquiry into whether Mr. Trump unlawfully kept classified records at his estate and obstructed the government’s repeated efforts to retrieve them.

 

“It’s a little perplexing as I go through the log,” Judge Dearie said. “What’s the expression — ‘Where’s the beef?’ I need some beef.”

 

The hearing was the latest step in the review process that began last month when Judge Dearie was named special master by one of Mr. Trump’s appointees, Judge Aileen M. Cannon of the Southern District of Florida.

Actions have consequences, and somebody doesn't like theirs:

 

Trump ally Clark asks U.S. court to block disciplinary charges against him

 

Former Justice Department attorney Jeffrey Bossert Clark asked a federal court on Monday to intervene in a legal disciplinary case pending against him over his efforts to help former President Donald Trump overturn his 2020 election loss.

 

In his lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Clark argues that the District of Columbia Court of Appeals and the local bodies of the D.C. Bar responsible for filing and adjudicating disciplinary proceedings against attorneys do not have the jurisdiction to bring ethics charges against him.

 

Clark, who previously led the Justice Department's Environment and Natural Resources Division and temporarily led the Civil Division, argues that "no state possesses the power to supervise the internal operations and deliberations of any branch of the federal government."

 

The ethics case against him, the lawsuit says, represents a "direct attack on the fundamental principle of separation of powers."

 

Hamilton "Phil" Fox, the head of the office that brought the ethics charges, declined to immediately comment on the lawsuit, but said he does not believe that any of the D.C. Bar's disciplinary cases have ever been removed to federal court.

 

The litigation from Clark is his latest maneuver to beat back ethics charges stemming from his efforts while at the Justice Department to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Sex, guns and sedition: Prosecutors describe Oath Keeper road trip to D.C.

 

Prosecutors on Monday entered the sex, guns and road trip portion of their sprawling seditious conspiracy case against five leaders of the far-right Oath Keepers, presenting a new pile of vivid, granular and, at times, R-rated evidence to the jury.

 

Justice Department attorneys, who have charged Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and several allies with plotting to forcibly prevent Joe Biden from taking office, reconstructed the group’s movements in the days before Jan. 6, 2021, as members from across the country drove to Washington, D.C., with a massive arsenal of firearms in tow.

 

At the same time, Rhodes was helping amass his own contributions to the Oath Keepers weapons cache, which would later be stashed at an Arlington, Va., Comfort Inn, strategically located to ensure the weapons could be ferried downtown at a moment’s notice. Prosecutors showed messages in which Rhodes negotiated to purchase firearms and other equipment ahead of Jan 6 and drew down bank accounts to the tune of more than $100,000 along the way.

 

In the third week of the government’s case against Rhodes and Oath Keepers Kelly Meggs, Jessica Watkins, Thomas Caldwell and Kenneth Harrelson, prosecutors are attempting to fill in their extensive evidence about the group’s cache of arms and how it methodically planned to bring them to D.C. ahead of Congress’ Jan. 6 session to certify the 2020 election results.

 

Dozens of Oath Keepers came to Washington that day, and more than 20, including Rhodes, were spotted on the Capitol grounds as a pro-Donald Trump mob stormed the building. Although Rhodes didn’t enter the building himself, two groups of his allies — including Meggs, Watkins and Harrelson, surged inside with the crowd while clad in military-style garb. Back at the Comfort Inn, Oath Keeper Ed Vallejo — who is also charged with seditious conspiracy and will be tried in November — stood ready for orders to transport the weapons into Washington, either by van or by boat.

So we know now why MTG wanted that pardon:

 

Atlanta Newspaper Releases Text Messages Of Marjorie Taylor Greene Plotting Jan 6 Strategy To Overturn Election

 

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has published text messages that show that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was deeply involved in the plot to overturn the 2020 election results on January 6th, 2021.

 

The texts reveal that Greene tried to recruit then-Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) in her plan to throw out certified election results on January 6th. But she failed to convince Loeffler to go along with the plot.

 

“I need to talk with you about a plan we are developing on how to vote on the electoral college votes on Jan 6th,” Greene wrote. “I need a Senator! And I think this is a major help for you to win on the 5th!!”
