try and slow down this process? while, obviously, it s enough of an argument to slow it down, because clarence thomas, who is the circuit justice for the 11th circuit, has already given a weeklong deadline to the doj to respond to this. again, this is all in the context of judge dearie s order, which said in the special master s review likely concluded toward the end of this month or to board the beginning of november. so, this adds another week to that. so, it s already been successful in delaying this and dragging this out a little bit. but, again, it s a very modest claim. the view here is that the 11th circuit lack jurisdiction to review the special master s order. it does not deal with the second part of the special master s order, which allowed for the department of justice to continue using those classified documents in its investigation. so, even if donald trump ultimately winds, it will be a quite narrow victory, which suggests that it was really not about the victory at all
