Republican Establishment Attorneys Connected to Bush and Romney File Brief in Support of FBI Raid on Mar-a-Lago
2022-09-01
[GatewayPundit] Ahead of the Department of Justice’s filing Tuesday night that opposed President Trump’s call for a "special master" to review White House documents seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, seven former federal prosecutors filed an amicus brief asking a Florida federal judge to deny his request.

Former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, Donald B. Ayer, Gregory A. Brower, John J. Farmer Jr., Stuart M. Gerson, Peter D. Keisler, William F. Weld — who all served in Republican administrations — called Trump’s request a "waste of time."

The brief said Trump’s request should be denied because the appointment of a special master for a claim of executive privilege by a former president "against the same Executive Branch to which the privilege belongs" is unprecedented.
Raiding a previous president’s home to confiscate papers secured according to FBI requirements is also unprecedented. Let’s place those head to head and see who wins, shall we?
Christine Todd Whitman is a RINO who spoke at the Democrat convention in support of Joe Biden.

#2  The call for a special master is to keep the FBI from going through documents that are protected by attorney-client privilege.

#1  These creatures will never get over how America elected a non politician to be POTUS who did not hold back telling them what people thought of them.
