The DOJ has filed a response to the motion by President Trump for the court to appoint a special master to review the seized material from the DOJ/FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago
In a nice lawfare maneuver, the DOJ claims President Trump never formally evoked 'executive privilege' on any of the seized materials.
Despite his position as a former President, he was/is legally considered an ordinary citizen for the purpose of raiding his home to seize material the government considers vital to national security.
Cover sheets do not necessarily describe or affirm the nature of the documented material underneath
"HCS-P/SI/TK" looks all officially looming
However, it doesn't necessarily mean any of the information is classified as HCS (HUMINT Control System, or human intelligence), SI (special intelligence), or TK (talent keyhole), or SCI (Sensitive Compartmented Information)
One word or paragraph could be considered'special intelligence' - e.g. FISA or FISC
The cover letter designations should be taken with a grain of salt
For the purpose of creating an optic, which helps drive a narrative, the oh-so-special cover values are priceless.
By framing the material seized in such a manner as most people will never understand what the designations mean, Main Justice lays the foundation for the media to obfuscate, portray, and define the potential of the evidence.
