Nothing new that the same judge that signed the warrant is demanding that the DOJ to produce a copy of that warrant?

Seems strange to me.

I guess the judge decided he wants to see what he signed off on.

[Jim Noble]

He’s asking DOJ to file a response to the motion to produce, he’s not granting the motion.

Not so strange. The remedy for a target of a sealed warrant is to petition the Judge who signed it with a request that the agency that applied for the warrant argue why it should remain sealed. This is classically known as an Order to Show Cause, wherein the proponent of Court action is put to the test to show why that action should be upheld. Of course, what is particularly unsatisfying about the process is when you start with a magistrate who appears biased to begin with and then ask him to reverse his own previous decision.
