The entire special master idea is simply a way to make it all happen after the midterms.

Washington (CNN)US District Judge Raymond Dearie
will serve as the special master tasked with reviewing the documents seized from Mar-a-Lago.
Dearie -- the only candidate for the role that both the Justice Department and former President Donald Trump's legal team agreed on --
was tapped for the position by US District Judge Aileen Cannon on Thursday.
Who is Raymond Dearie?
Dearie,
a Reagan nominee, has served as a federal judge in New York since 1986. He retired in 2011 and is now a senior judge in the district.
He also served a seven-year term on the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, or FISA court.
How long will Dearie have?
Cannon is giving Dearie a deadline of November 30 to finish his review of potentially privileged documents.
The DOJ had sought for the process to end in October, while Trump's team said they preferred 90 days.
Cannon's schedule means the review will end after the midterm congressional elections, essentially guaranteeing the Mar-a-Lago investigation will move slowly for the next two months, unless a higher court steps in.
She directed Dearie to prioritize sorting through potentially privileged classified records.
