It sounds like the request was pretty vague as to why a Special Master is needed and as to what authority he should have.


No, it's pretty specific. This is a political case involving a political rival of the Biden admin. A special master to review the documents and report directly to the court under these circumstances is eminently reasonable.

Again, you seem to be ignoring the political nature of this particular case. There is an appearance of impropriety here with the Biden DOJ reviewing documents seized from a political rival.

This is exactly the same reasoning Jeff Sessions used to support his decision to recuse himself from any investigations into Hillary or Trump in 2017. I'm sure you thought that was the right call back then, why the double standard now?

The post to which you respond is just an analysis of the status of the case, based upon info available at the time it was written. It did not take sides in any way.

Sessions recused himself PERSONALLY, not the entire DoJ. The Mueller appointment was a separate issue.
