Trump has requested the Supreme Court the case about the special master review the documents.
What’s the point of this?
basically the idea, or the argument is that perhaps a couple of the classified documents recovered might also have client-attorney privilege so they are hoping that they might be able to find a couple of them within the bunch. they are literally grasping at straws at this point. it doesnt really mean much.
even if they managed to find a couple of them, they are still government property and not trump's. they are still classified documents. sure there might be a couple of documents at most that perhaps had client-attorney privilege out of the lot. if he comes under indictment under espionage act charges they will still be used against him regardless. none of the classification or privilege of those documents will matter, as its still government property and thats all they need to go by. its only if they are also going to hit him under charges pertaining to the presidential records act where things can get a little dodgy, and he would have a shot at getting those very specific documents excluded as evidence to be used against him for those particular set of charges.
its a hell of a longshot. especially after the 11th circuit already ruled against him and then judge cannon struck the classified documents stuff straight out of her original ruling right afterwards so that he couldnt legitimately appeal the 11th circuit. now he's literally writing to the supreme court proposing a filing that his lawyers herped up and literally begging for them to omit a teeny tiny piece of the 11th circuits stay so that the special master can take a look through it
its literally gonna go nowhere as the supreme court have been consistant in never wanting to take up these cases that are highly political and muddy. and theres really no purpose of it either. its not even an appeal. its not even on the dockets. none of the lower level of courts referred him there. and theres nothing left to really be decided on. its all just a stall for more time and perhaps trying to make a hail mary out of nothing. its nothing more than a love letter that diaper don sent over to the supreme court because he doesnt like to lose.
on top of that the special master has already made it clear that he has no intentions of even going through any of those classified and top secret documents because of how sensitive it could be to the nations security, and if he were to have to go over all of it he would have to call on this former judge of his who has the proper clearance to even be able to lawfully even look at those types of documents.
this whole thing is fruitless in merit, and completely ridiculous, and its all just another typical trump attempt to try to stall things out. but he's a desperate man right now so he'll try just about anything crazy to try to even just get on first base, or at least try to drag this out until he dies. he knows whats coming.
