Here's how you determine the party of a federal US magistrate judge:
He or she is selected by a vote of the judges of the district at the time. The chief judge has the most say in the selection.
So, let's see who was chief judge United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida on March 13, 2018.
The chief stooge of SD Florida was Kevin Michael Moore [chief from 2014–2021], appointed by G.H.W. Bush [Grabby Poppy, the Deep State's Stooge of Stooges].
Most of the SD Florida stooge-judges that would have voted for him were Clinton-Obama stooges, with a mixture of Smirking Chimp stooges.
Just add to the “interesting” is that magistrate judge bruce still has his shingle out as a criminal defense attorney. I didn’t know that you can do that and still be a federal magistrate judge.
Maybe you can but I don’t think you should.
I guess they rotate the chieftianship since Moore is still a judge but some woman is now chief judge.
Remember Ernst Janning in “Judgement at Nuremberg”? The real person portrayed by Burt Lancaster was Oswald Rothaug. We have a bunch of them in the courts sitting as judges lording over all of us.
The Epstein affair has very deep roots in the swamp. Amazing isn’t it how so many nefariously connected people can be so wide spread in gooberment.
