What a special master does is reviews documents that could be attorney-client privileged and decides whether that is the case. They make no judgments beyond that.
So if a special master is appointed for executive privilege, all they're doing is determining what documents are executive privileged. As was established in Thompson v. Trump, which this idiot judge even cites in her decision, former Presidents do not have executive privilege.
So, what exactly do you think this special master will achieve other than delaying the case for months?

I think much of this is show by tptb Aka DS because they probably know he didn’t have anything or evidence of any kind and they know that the commoners will believe the fake news and hate Trump some more.

So now you believe judges can be biased?
You care now about expedience?
Amazing. simply amazing.
I find you quite amazing as well.
Aww shucks, I'm married Annee.
But I'll throw you around the dancefloor anyday.
(T)he Court agrees with the Government that, at least based on the record to date, there has not been a compelling showing of callous disregard for Plaintiff's constitutional rights,
The problem stems from the fact that she is also including a review of all documents for executive privilege based on no sound legal argument.
So if someone isn't POTUS they can share all the top secret info they want?
On Monday, former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman reacted to the news that a Trump-appointed judge in Florida granted the former president's demand to pause the DOJ investigation into the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, pending review by a special master for documents protected by attorney-client privilege and executive privilege.
The particular problem with the ruling by Judge Aileen Cannon, wrote Litman, is the ruling on executive privilege — which he said blows up legal understanding of any standards for when that protection applies.
"If this holds up, it's going to require the minting of a whole new area of law for the scope and boundaries of a former Pres's executive priv interests. How the hell is a Special Master supposed to call balls and strikes? This could be huge delays. I think DOJ needs to appeal," wrote Litman. "Cannon's opinion acknowledges that Rule 41 is reserved for exceptional circumstances and must be exercised w/ caution and restraint. Then she storms ahead like a bull in a china shop b/c it's possible that Trump may turn out to have some undefined interest down the line."

By the way, there is one little nugget in this decision that I think certain members who claim Trump's constitutional rights have been violated multiple times would be interested in seeing:

This was all a lie. The FBI created the crime scene, inserted their own documents, and then photoshopped the document.
Guess that's a claim that was always going to be made , doesn't make it true though.
just remember if they will do this to Trump of all people
You mean the guy who took Classified documents , says he made an EO on his last day in office to make it OK then refused to give them back ... yeah if it can happen to Trump of all people the it can happen to anyone ... Trump is in trouble and rightly so given the circumstances.

Seriously wasn't it some of the same people (being investigated by Durham) that pushed the "Russia Hoax" that did the raid , and now We are supposed to just believe they are actually doing their job correctly and not just trying to nail the guy they've been after for 5 years?
