As it stands, the investigation is over. Trump will contest any special master he does not name and the court will honor that request.

That's what's expected by Trump's side, but not necessarily what will happen.

Unless they alter the experiment - contest the decision in a DC court, where it actually belongs - maintaining the pretense that 11th Circuit courts are operating on the level will be fatal to the investiagtion because there will never be a special master. That requirement is a formula for endless litigation.

Yes - which is why I think there will be some "major moves" by DOJ.

The appointment process begins with a list agreed to by both sides in the case so there is no basis for disagreement. The challenge, as TC notes, is finding a qualified attorney who is TS/SCI cleared.

Judge Cannon gave them a deadline, either today or tomorrow to submit the list.
