But it won’t be long now.

The Mar-a-Lago special master is telling Trump's lawyers to say once and for all whether they really think the FBI planted evidence during its search, as the former president has publicly alleged. pic.twitter.com/hVF7fCTjIj

And to all those people who warned Dearie would be very slow:

Dearie is serious about moving this thing—docs are to be reviewed, objected to, and decisions made on a rolling basis

Trump team gets the remaining docs on Sept 26 and must submit designations to the gov in three batches, each about a week apart, any disputes sent to Dearie https://t.co/6ncjsgbtOI pic.twitter.com/8oVFwCDapg

Trump’s team needs to find an exit ramp out of the Special Master proceeding they asked for. https://t.co/sjYH6xzZ2f

They’re gonna wish DOJ had filed a broader appeal.
