Judge issues ruling on unsealing FBI Trump raid warrant

[toomuchtime_]

The DOJ doesn’t need no steenkin’ reasons. They will continue to play games.

We'll have to wait and see what happens, but my sense is this illegal search and the DOJ's attempted cover up will play badly for Democrats among independent voters.

This is why you people cannot see official documents like warrants and affidavits.
All you do is use the information to attack and slander all parties involved;
witnesses....judges, etc.
Attacking this judge does not exonerate Trump.

Why would any magistrate judge or real judge recuse himself from any determination about Trump in one instance but not in another? Alarm Bells: Judge Who OK'd Trump Raid Recused Himself in Trump-Clinton Lawsuit

If he knew he was biased against Trump (which is clear) then the very same logic that led him to recuse himself earlier should have yielded the same result now.

Maybe an impartial judge wouldn’t have been so quick to sigh that obviously defective warrant.

The Stalinist lose! let the light of justice shine through!

Garland and Xiden are scared shirtless…watch the white house try desperately to run from this and toss garland to the wolves

FYI, since there's no rush on this case, it won't make the SCOTUS docket until 2024

The cover up is nearly always worse than the crime, so it would probably be better for the DOJ to admit the affidavit was fraudulent and the search illegal than to allow the Democrats to go into the midterms with these charges hanging over their heads. This incredibly stupid screw up by Biden's DOJ will be seen as Biden's second Afganistan.

 

[meaner gene]

The only things in the affidavit are reasons the DOJ claims gives them probable cause to believe the specified documents are hidden in Trump's underwear drawer.

Reasons have to come from evidence, usually people, stating what they know, and how they came to know it.

 

[meaner gene]

My guess is that the judge will only allow redactions of items that might compromise national security and not the names of people because other people might be pissed off at them.

That might have been true before the age of Trump. Whose supporters are known to threaten to kill people doing Trump political harm.

how many congressmen have your and your demafasict brownshirts attempted to kill? how many judges?

 

[Oddball]

DOJ loses....?? They will redact names from the affidavits. and release it...

This is sure to piss off Biden and Democrats. The demand for the judge's recusal is next up..


Edit to add: This was a placating move. The affidavit is NOT going to be unsealed. What a pant load of crap.

They'll unseal the cover letter, and that'll be about it.

Like the Trumpster that tried to kill Kavanaugh and his family?....Or the one that shot up a baseball practice?

Oh wait......

From your own article here:

"They include “a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts” or prior work as a lawyer for a party involved in the case"

So we really have no idea why Rhinehardt recused himself from that 2016 case do we?
No we don't.
Therefore we don't know that he now lacks the impartialty to act in the Trump espionage matter, do we.
No we don't.

Also from your article:

I generally ignore the President-elect’s tweets, but not this one. John Lewis arguably has done more to “make America great” than any living citizen. Last August, I took my son to the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma so he could understand the kind of courage and sacrifice required to live in a democratic society. John Lewis embodies that spirit. Although I’ve never met him, he is one of my heroes.

Thank you, Robert Reich, for saying what many of us feel, “John Lewis is the conscience of America. Donald Trump doesn’t have the moral stature to kiss John Lewis’s feet.”

Or, as Joseph Welch said to Joseph McCarthy, “At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”

Now the author of this "Red State" (lol!) article accused Rhinehardt of "bashing" Trump in this old Tweet.
No he didn't.
Trump made a supreme ass of himself in regard to John Lewis and this guy simply called Trump out on it.

All in all this is NOT an unbiased article you are using.

Well this judge is very familiar with the danger of peoples names being disclosed.

Donald Trump supporters send death threats to judge who approved Mar-a-Lago search

He has faced a storm of death threats since his signature earlier this month cleared the way for the FBI to search former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate as part of a probe into whether he inappropriately removed sensitive materials from the White House. Reinhart’s home address was posted on right-wing sites, along with antisemitic slurs. The South Florida synagogue he attends canceled its Friday night Shabbat services in the wake of the uproar.

It's true today. If there are death threats they will be investigated by the FBI and police.

Ohio gunman appeared to threaten FBI after Trump home search

A law enforcement official says a gunman who died in a shootout after trying to get inside the FBI’s Cincinnati office appeared to have posted calls on social media for FBI agents to be killed and for people to take up arms in the wake of the search at Donald Trump’s home.

apnews.com

Supporters of the former president have railed against the search, accusing the FBI and the Justice Department of using the legal system as a political weapon.

A gunman who died in a shootout after trying to get inside the FBI’s Cincinnati office apparently went on social media and called for federal agents to be killed “on sight” following the search at former President Donald Trump’s home, a law enforcement official said.

 

[toomuchtime_]

They'll unseal the cover letter, and that'll be about it.

I disagree. I think very little or none of it will be redacted. The judge made a strong argument for the public's right to know what is in the affidavit and challenged the DOJ to show him why any of it should be redacted.

Anything that could identify people who provided evidence for the affidavit will surely be redacted. The judge is well aware of the danger from the public figuring out who contributed to the search warrant.

A whole article based on nothing. So what if his address got posted somewhere? No one has stood outside his home like the loony lefties did to Kavanaugh. If a syangogue canceled it's Friday services, how is that Trump's fault. You guys are so desperate.

Anything that could identify people who provided evidence for the affidavit will surely be redacted. The judge is well aware of the danger from the public figuring out who contributed to the search warrant.

Without being able to judge the credibility of the people who gave evidence it will be impossible to determine the legitimacy of their claims, so the judge would be undermining his own argument of the public's overwhelming right to know what is in the affidavit. The identities of people who testify against violent criminal gangs are not kept secret, so the people who claimed to know about documents hidden in Trump's underwear drawer will not be redacted.
