A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the Biden Justice Department to produce a copy of a search warrant executed at his Mar-a-Lago estate, where the FBI conducted a nine-hour-plus search on Monday.
Federal Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart ordered the DOJ to “file a Response to the Motion to Unseal” the warrant after requests were made by the Times-Union, a newspaper located in Albany, N.Y., as well as the conservative legal group Judicial Watch.
The judge said that the DOJ must respond no later than Aug. 15, reports said.

I doubt you can regain trust without totally destroying and rebuilding FBI, CIA, DOJ, DHS, etc. from scratch.
Earlier, Trump attorney Lindsey Halligan said that the warrant was “sealed” when agents showed up to search Trump’s estate.
Another Trump lawyer, Christian Bobb, meanwhile, told streaming network Real America’s Voice: “When I arrived and kind of announced myself as the legal representation for President Trump. I asked to see a copy of the warrant.”
“Initially they refused and said, ‘You know, we don’t have to show it to you.’ And there was a little bit of an exchange about whether it was appropriate to withhold the warrant when you’re searching the residence of the former president, who’s likely to be the Republican nominee in the next election, though they conceded and let me see it, they did not give me a copy of it right away, but they did let me see it,” she went on, according to Mediaite.
“It was very, I would say, thin. And as you can tell from public records, the affidavit, the supporting documentation of what the probable cause was to obtain the warrant has been sealed,” Bobb continued.

“So they were looking for both classified information that they think should not have been removed from the White House as well as presidential records,” she continued, adding that she found it “ironic” for the search as a president can declassify any documents he wants and for any reason.
“It doesn’t really make any sense. And the same thing with any potential classified information, which I don’t believe there was any down there. We had done a search of it before and didn’t find anything noteworthy yet. I’m sure that they’re claiming that there was something terribly egregious, that a grave matter of national security. But we’ll find out,” Bobb said.
She added that she did not believe the FBI would go to any trouble to plant evidence, that instead the bureau would “just make stuff up.”
so what did it say..I dont want to sit through a whole video
They get $1000 fine, 200 hours of community service, 12 months probation.
That’s what the FBI agent who fabricated evidence to obtain a FISA warrant received.
And us, will do nothing and be happy about it
He’s asking DOJ to file a response to the motion to produce, he’s not granting the motion.
I'm really starting to suspect all these "conservative bloggers" out there are actually leftists in disguise, deliberately writing misleading articles so that gullible conservatives repeat them as gospel, then look like idiots themselves. Clever way to discredit those conservatives who swallow those stories.
You don't need to even be a lawyer to know that the blog is wrong. All the judge did was order the government to file a response saying why the warrant shouldn't be made public. The decision won't come until much later because this clown is likely to sit on it as long as he can.
They were looking for, you know - the thing…..
THIS WARRENT IS TO SEARCH FOR (redacted) ...
Obviously, they want this garbage released to smear Trump with it. Naturally, the probable cause portion will still be sealed.
Paging Corn Pop....
Prepare for arrests to be made. This is moving fast.
The prosecutor in this case is a private attorney (retained). See post 138 in this thread for more info:

Here are some questions as I don’t know the answer. Maybe a lawyer or an honest law enforcement officer can answer and fill me in here.
1. If this warrant was signed by a “Florida Federal Magistrate Judge”, does Florida law apply in the service of this warrant?
2. Does Florida law require that a legal copy of a search warrant be delivered at the time the warrant is executed to the owner of the property or their legal representative?
3. Does Florida law require that a detailed inventory of items removed during the service of a warrant be delivered to the owner or their legal representative?
4. If any of these are requirements for the service of a warrant, can’t the Florida Attorney General sue the FBI for what they did?
Believe me, I am no lawyer or legal expert, but aren’t there some kind of legal protections for a home owner or business owner who is the subject of a search warrant? This whole thing has just made me curious.
It is possible what the Trump lawyer saw and reported does not comport with what the Judge remembers and has in his records...
If the FBI doesn’t show, through upclose video evidence for example, that every single piece of paper and document they took was in a box or there at Mar-a-Lago, then how can they prove they didn’t plant evidence, given what Fox News hosts and others have said about the FBI doctoring paperwork during the Russian collusiom nonsense investigation?
So, there are no copies made of warrants? Are they scribbled out on napkins?
Judge knows the warrant contents. He’ll know if there’s monkey business.
I’m all for his order.
