George Washington University law professor and FNC contributor Jonathan Turley on Neil Cavuto's program reacted to a judge's ruling on a special master to examine the documents found in the raid of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property. Turley predicted Garland will provide a heavily redacted portion of the affidavit that led to the warrant to the Trump legal team and leak details that are not public. "While the Justice Department has been demanding absolute secrecy, the media has been reporting all of these leaks from the government that are clearly meant to put the Trump team on the defense," Turley told Cavuto. "These are things going to the past communications with the Trump team. What were they looking for? What caused the search? All of that is sort of leaking out regularly as they are in court telling the judge, my God, don't release one iota of this affidavit or our investigation will be compromised." <blockquote>TURLEY: Well, this is not unexpected. The motion for a special master was somewhat belated. That is the type of motion most of us would have filed immediately after the raid. You want to freeze action. Prevent people from opening those boxes to review the documents. But this was brought up only yesterday. So this judge is saying I need you to respond to how this is going to impact these ongoing matters with the magistrate, a schedule of any appeal in terms of a redacted affidavit. And so this is seeking clarification on what their position is on this sort of collateral effects of their motion. You know, frankly, I've been critical of Attorney General Merrick Garland, because I think that he should have asked for a special master. It's not common. The Justice Department has taint teams that supposedly sort out material to take out privileged information. But this is a unique raid. And Garland must have anticipated the outcry of President Biden's administration conducting a raid on his past opponent and likely future opponent. It does not mean that the raid was abusive, it doesn't mean it wasn't well based, but he could have taken steps like this one to assure the public that this wasn't a dishonest sort of pretext to look for other things and we're going a little extra than we usually do to assure you. But that wasn't done. And now, quite frankly, I think a special master is not going to have a great impact. They are clearly going through these documents and it's going to be hard to get that cat to walk backwards.</blockquote> Turley on a redacted affidavit: <blockquote>TURLEY: I think that the position is becoming more untenable for the public, because while the Justice Department has been demanding absolute secrecy, the media has been reporting all of these leaks from the government that are clearly meant to put the Trump team on the defense. And these are details that we would find in the affidavit. These are things going to the past communications with the Trump team. What were they looking for? What caused the search? All of that is sort of leaking out regularly as they are in court telling the judge, my God, don't release one iota of this affidavit or our investigation will be compromised. </blockquote>
