Grants that request? >> for sure, erica. yes. i think if the judge does grant the special master request, then i believe she will put parameters on it in two respects. one, i think she will say special master, you are reviewing for the following. maybe attorney/client privilege only, so i dont think this will become a free-for-all. i think the judge will put time parameters on it. they dont want a special matter of but if she appoints one lets make sure one gets down by the end of september. if ...

That this was planned to turn these over. it just happened to be this was the timing. we have another source who is familiar with the mat who are said, it may be a coincidence but we did get more information than we had ever gotten before after the search. >> wow. you know what they say about coincidences in a courtroom. they dont happen. sara, on this point as well, back to mar-a-lago, its been more than a full day since the hearing over that special master request. here we are, its 9:00 on a f...
