assuming recent media reports are accurate, and that she is considering allowing a special master to be appointed, but with limitations, the basis for that decision would be based not on loyalty to TFG but on the judicial philosophy advanced by the Federalist Society, of which she is a member. According to this philosophy, government power in general is limited but the executive should be given broad discretion over all management of the executive branch; this would support the argument that special consideration should be afforded any president's claim of executive privilege, even an ex-president's. We will just have to wait and see where this goes, I guess.
