        I think it was in one of Amazon's "Bosch" episodes where a "Special Master" was appointed after the execution of a search warrant to assure that attorney-client privileged materials were not seized.

        I'm not sure how a SM plays here - would Judge Dearie need to have security clearance to ascertain this?

            OK, enough.

                Sorry George.
                I was trying to be of humour.
                All of my tools are rusty.

                Actually, I'm pretty sure the big D has always had his household help refer to him with that respectful title of which I will not again repeat.
                So, nothing new, just something else to master.

                  Yeah, I got that with your followup post - which I read while relaxing in the master main bedroom.

                    I would suggest that Trump’s trouble finding lawyers is 1) he has a reputation for not following their advice then blaming them when things go south and; 2) he is notorious for refusing to pay his bills.

                    In other words, he is a liability not an asset.

                                For a sense of perspective, though, the Johnny Depp v Amber Heard defamation trial which lasted 6 weeks, and discovery took years, cost between $6 and $8 million.

                                      It’s like the little old ladies on social security sending $5 to Joel Osteen

                                        Special Master wants proof that Trump declassified the documents in question.

                                        Trump attorneys had told the judge in a letter Monday night they didn't want to disclose that information yet because it could force them to prematurely "disclose a defense to the merits of any subsequent indictment. "Dearie (the SM) said, "You can't have your cake and eat it too."

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                          Spending by Donald Trump's Save America PAC surged in August to more than $6.3 million -- its highest monthly total of the year -- as the former President waged court battles over the FBI's search of his waterfront Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

                                          More than $3.8 million of that money -- or more than $6 out of $10 spent by Trump's leadership PAC last month -- went to legal fees, according to filings Tuesday night with the Federal Election Commission. The largest legal expense was a single payment of $3 million to the trust account of a West Palm Beach, Florida, law firm.
