In my opinion...

I do not think Judge Kimba Wood should appoint a "special master" to oversee the Cohen warrant evidence.

There is too much possibility or likelihood that one specific "special master" may be biased toward one side or the other.

I think a better solution would be to put the names of the special team of investigators, that will look at the evidence, and have them under lock and key if there is a question about procedures? If that is challenged, then the Judge would be the final arbiter. Unless it is appealed to a higher Court.

I think the Judge is on a similar track with a "taint team" that is independent of the investigators. Let us hope that she sticks to her guns. I think she will.

President Donald Trump and his longtime attorney Michael Cohen both lost a court challenge related to the FBI’s seizure of Cohen’s documents they both claim are protected by attorney-client privilege.

Cohen had asked a federal judge for a temporary restraining order to stop federal prosecutors in Manhattan from viewing the information seized by the FBI until an independent third party, called a “special master,” be allowed to sort out what is protected by attorney-client privilege.

Similarly, Trump’s own legal representation in this case, Joanna Hendon, filed a letter on Sunday night asking the judge to give Cohen’s team first-access to the material.

U.S. District Court Judge Kimba Wood denied the requests and ruled that prosecutors will get first access to the information, followed by Cohen’s defense team ten days later. Wood noted that she has not yet decided whether she will appoint a special master in the case at all.
