Quick Glance: Trump seeks a "special master" to evaluate information seized by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago.
  • The Justice Department, for example, submitted a subpoena for papers with classified marks in May, only weeks before the search.

  • Sorting is done by a special master.

  • It defies logic to believe that a previous president may invoke executive privilege against the executive branch.

  • In reality, there is only some notional retention of residual privilege to — and the object of it, of course, is to safeguard and encourage open interactions between a president and his closest advisers while he is in office.
