"As both a prosecutor and criminal defense lawyer, Reinhart has practiced throughout the United States, handling all aspects of federal criminal litigation and investigations. Reinhart has handled more than 100 federal grand jury investigations, such as complex financial crimes, health care fraud, tax fraud, violent crimes, narcotics, and public corruption. He has tried more than 50 cases in federal courts including numerous white collar crime cases. Reinhart's extensive experience includes having served as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of Florida for more than 11 years, as senior policy advisor to the undersecretary for enforcement at the U.S. Treasury Department, and as a trial attorney in the Public Integrity Section of the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.
Since 2008, Reinhart has been in private practice providing white collar and complex civil litigation strategies for a variety of businesses, executives and nonprofit entities around the country. He has also represented individuals and corporations in asset forfeiture proceedings, including, in one case, successfully reacquiring over $1 million in property for a Fortune 500 company. In 2008, Reinhart obtained an acquittal for a medical doctor accused of multiple counts of health care fraud. In addition to representing clients in criminal matters, he also has represented clients in state and federal regulatory enforcement actions, including SEC, FTC, and HHS Office of Inspector General investigations.
What do you think about the new judge? I am too dumm to know if he is better than the old one or not.

Sounds like a Trump appointee.
If so, the opposition will request the same removal.
Likely the only difference to be argued is that Reinhart was not a federal judge during the campaign season of 2016.
There are apparently 2 judges associated with this case
The other, Middlebrooks, did not recuse himself!
