No link yet, but Lawrence O’Donnell reported that Judge Cannon is asking Trump’s lawyers to exclude those 100 classified documents from her special master order. Andrew Weissmann and Neal Katyal stated this was a sign that Judge Cannon is running up the white flag in response to the DOJ’s intention to appeal her decision to the Eleventh Court of Appeals. Both indicated that this was Cannon’s off ramp to her bonehead ruling to essentially allow Trump to dictate how he is to be investigated.

Also, all of O’Donnell’s panelist agreed that Judge Cannon had to be “schooled” in how intelligence work is done. In it’s filling to Judge Cannon, the DOJ made it plain that the FBI was BOTH a criminal investigation body and did intelligence work. In this particular case, there was no way to separate the two as this idiotic judge had ruled (you can do an investigation into national defense damage, but you couldn’t do anything with regards to criminal matters, according to Trump judge Cannon).

In fact, the FBI is the only domestic intelligence agency allowed by law.

As to what Judge Cannon will do if Trump’s lawyers still insist that they need all those documents back, which this corrupt judge said Trump could do, I have no idea. Essentially, she went the extra mile for Trump on this matter. If Cannon had any real independence, she never would have ruled for a special master in the first place.

With regards to those so called lawyers working for Trump, who knows what they will do. I expect Trump to insist that he gets “his documents” back. And that includes those classified ones.
