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!

yWhat may be the biggest part of the agreement, DOJ is referring Raytheon to DOD & other agencies to begin a review to determine if Raytheon or individuals involved should be suspended from government contracts & debarred from future contracts!
So in addition to the corruption & bribery, the risks of Raytheon committing crimes to conceal corruption related to arms sales to foreign governments is a major factor in this case.
Opens contractors up to other off the books deals.
Raytheon as a corporation has now flipped on their executives who made these decisions. Which means Raytheon can only survive as a business & defense contractor if it provides all the receipts for criminal prosecutions.
Raytheon will pay $950 million to settle the allegations against the company for several different criminal schemse the company participated in.
Raytheon accepted a deferred prosecution agreement that becomes a confession at trial if they don't cooperate! justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/r…
The 1st set of charges are in EDNY. Bribing Qatari officials for defense contracts.
Then conspiracy by not report the bribes on the paperwork requesting permission to export the arms to Qatar. This sets a precedent for EVERY arms export deal!
Mayor Adams indicted by the DOJ following an FBI investigation.
And people still want to side with the Swamp against th FBI & DOJ.
Why could they still believe #ButNothingsHappening after 14 years of indictments & convictions?
Remember the researchers at Georgia Tech who were getting paid by the DOD & USAF to spy on Trump & feed that info into Hillary's oppo research campaign?
DOJ joined a lawsuit accusing GT on behalf of those researchers of lying to DOD about compliance with cybersecurity procedures.
So the cybersecurity people accessing NSA data to spy upon Donald Trump for the Pentagon were willfully avoiding compliance with security proposals. Then pressuring GT to lie to the DOD & submit false audits claiming that their computers were secure.
#ButNothingsHappening
I know some people still believe Hillary's Russia Hoax that told them FBI was investigating & spying on Trump.
How long are you going to continue to believe Hillary's smokescreen & help hide that it was her campaign & the Pentagon that spied on Trump?
For those who don't understand the law in this case, Congress has authorized the Attorney General to specially appoint lawyers & conduct legal proceedings at the same level as US Attorneys without confirmation. It's specifically authorized.
While Canon ignores Section 515, it specifically authorizes AGs to appoint special attorneys to prosecute criminal cases & run grand juries same as a US Attorney can.
She claims the law does not authorize the AG to appoint a special counsel with the authority of a US Attorney.
Julian Assange flying to the North Marianas to plead guilty to espionage.
Gets a 62 month prison sentence, but will be released with time served for his 5 years in British prison.
The choice of the Northern Marianas Islands is unusual.
That US territory is a hub for Chinese money laundering to the US & to US politicians. Wonder if he will testify to a US grand jury while he is there? Or has he already done so by Zoom?
The Chinese have been buying off Swampy politicians on Pacific islands that are US territories to infiltrate them to get into the US financial system.
The Northern Marianas, the Solomons, & many others...
