I had a lengthy column Wednesday analyzing the Justice Department’s Tuesday night court filing opposing former president Trump’s motion for a special master to oversee prosecutors’ review of documents that may be privileged — a review process (as we observed earlier on Tuesday) that the DOJ has already completed, inducing prosecutors to stress that such an appointment would be pointless.
My Wednesday column focused on the government’s obstruction evidence and why, in my view, it dramatically increases the likelihood of a Trump indictment. Here, I want to look at some legal issues that the prosecutors address. At the end, I’ll discuss the tea leaves we’re reading based on Thursday afternoon’s indecisive hearing before Judge Aileen Cannon.
