    Re: Potential Special Masters, Case No. 22-81294-CIV-CANNON

    Dear Judge Cannon:

    In light of the news that you may choose to appoint a Special Master in the above-captioned case
    to address any potential issues of Executive Privilege, I write to respectfully bring four uniquely
    qualified experts in the field to your attention for your consideration. We are not advocating for
    or against the appointment of a Special Master and take no position on that question; we simply
    wish to let you know of their existence and expertise in this exceedingly esoteric corner of the
    law. Each of the below individuals—listed in alphabetical order and with only a current title to
    avoid any suggestion of ranking—is willing to serve as a Special Master should you request it,
    and they are all willing to fully abide by the terms of the appointment.

    • Heidi Kitrosser, Professor of Law, Northwestern University Pritzker School of


    Law
    • Mark J. Rozell, Dean, Schar School of Policy and Government, George Mason
    University
    • Jonathan Shaub, Assistant Professor of Law, University of Kentucky Rosenberg
    College of Law
    • Mitchel A. Sollenberger, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science, University of
    Michigan-Dearborn

    I have also attached a curriculum vitae for each person and a copy of an amici curiae brief I
    submitted on their behalf to the U.S. Supreme Court in a previous case involving former
    President Trump’s claims of Executive Privilege. It is this last fact—that these scholars have
    already accumulated and applied specific expertise and knowledge regarding issues surrounding
    a former President’s claims of Executive Privilege in comparable circumstances—that we
    believe uniquely qualifies any of these individuals to ably serve you as a Special Master, should
    you choose to appoint one.

    I remain at your disposal should you choose to discuss any of this in greater detail.

    Sincerely,

    Kel McClanahan
