Donald Trump’s special master gambit is a ‘giant backfire’
.
New York Times reporter Charlie Savage wrote in his Wednesday piece that it is quickly becoming clear that Donald Trump may be regretting his request for a special master in the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation.
Trump reportedly thought he could delay the investigation into the stolen documents that he stashed at Mar-a-Lago, but his ploy appears to have backfired.
Tuesday evening, former FBI counsel and Robert Mueller prosecutor, Andrew Weissmann, noted that Trump’s inability to find a document vendor is his own way of quiet-quitting his suit.
“I think there is something we can take away from what seems like a small potatoes kind of thing,” Weissmann said. “I think what Donald Trump is doing is quiet-quitting. He brought this case and he realized he is worse off from having brought this case.”
Weissmann isn’t the only one. As Savage quoted, New York University legal scholar in residence, Peter Shane, explained, “Maybe from Trump’s point of view, creating delay and chaos is always a plus, but this has the feel of a giant backfire.”
