Donald Trump’s assertions of executive and attorney-client privilege over certain documents that the FBI seized from his Mar-a-Lago resort appeared to lack evidence sufficient for him to rule in the former US president’s favor, the special master reviewing the records suggested on Tuesday.

The special master, senior US district court judge Raymond Dearie, complained during a conference call in the case that the log of documents Trump is trying to withhold from the justice department did not give enough information about the validity of the privilege claims

Dearie encouraged Trump’s lawyers to elaborate on why they believed the documents could be excluded from the justice department’s criminal investigation into the potential willful retention of national defense information, removal of government records and obstruction of justice.

The points raised by Trump's lawyers are the kind of losing proposition a lawyer makes to appease a clueless client. They have to know that their grounds for opposing the DOJ are ridiculous.

Back to Judge Cannon it appears.

Judge derire  needs just follow the instructions laid out by Judge Cannon.

"The special master's job is to prepare a report and recommendations. The judge can choose to adopt or reject those recommendations, but ultimately, it's up to the discretion of the judge to make the decision," Rahmani told Newsweek.
