Note that it is a magistrate, not a federal judge. In fact, the same hack magistrate that OK'd the grossly unconstitutional search warrant for Mar-a-Lago.
Why did DoJ not make their motion with the judge of record - the federal judge assigned the case? Because they have a corrupt jurist that will give them anything they want, bypassing regular legal procedures. This DoJ is 💯% corrupt and feels free to bend any rule that they please. SC Smith acquired his indictment in D.C., where they would sentence DJT to death for spitting on the sidewalk, BUT he filed the case in south Florida because that is where Smith alleges that a crime took place; he did not want a lengthy fight for change of venue. But NOTE that the coward SC did not try to obtain a grand jury indictment in south Florida, where Trump is popular.
The DoJ should now petition Magistrate Rinehart for permission to execute Donald Trump. Imagine a lowly magistrate being catapulted to SCOTUS overnight!

It’s time to feed the pigs.
And time for me to re-read unintended consequences.
Sometimes I think we don’t know who we are up against. These clowns in charge of the country will do anything to take Trump out. We need to keep that in mind from now on.
