As I mentioned last week the FBI agents on the case will not get to review the Rudy evidence directly. DOJ is using a filter team, agents involved in securing evidence can't work the case.
Now asking a court to appoint a special master to determine attorney client privilege!
If the court approves, a Special Master will be appointed by the judge. They will review the evidence & seal any items protected by attorney client privilege. If the court refuses appointment, DOJ will appoint an internal filter team. Either way it provides admissible evidence!
Emails that are evidence of a crime would not be protected under attorney client privilege, so the Special Master could declare them to not be privileged & Rudy's team could object pushing it to the judge to decide..
This will protect any information between Rudy & his actual clients but still get it within the record in a secured manner...
Interesting, looks like there is another redacted subject of the warrants, likely someone who works for Giuliani Partners...
Turning the Michael Cohen Special Master ruling back against them. We've spent years discussing how the Cohen, Stone, Flynn & other prosecutions would set precedents to be used against the Swamp later...
Sorry finally getting back to this.
Did you see this: "there is no pending criminal case against the subjects of the search"
So DOJ is asking for a special master because there is no pending criminal case against Rudy or Victoria Toensing, meaning they aren't likely targets...
DOJ says it's filter team process is perfectly suited to do this job properly & fairly, but appoint a master to ensure no one can question the DOJ filtering process.
Use the Cohen precedent to get the crooks communicating with Rudy!
