NEW YORK (WABC) -- A federal judge rejected a request from President Donald Trump and his personal lawyer Michael Cohen for a temporary restraining order that would have kept federal prosecutors from reading files seized in raids last week.

Judge Kimba Wood said a government taint team can weed out privileged documents, but she left open the possibility an independent third party could play a role at a later time, in the interest of "the perception of fairness."

"I have faith in the Southern District prosecutors, that their integrity is unimpeachable," Wood said.

Her ruling came at the end of a hearing attended by Cohen and Stormy Daniels, who sat feet apart but did not appear to interact.

Daniels was swarmed by photographers and nearly fell as she was hustled into a federal courthouse. Wearing a lilac suit and high heels, Daniels was the main attraction - for the media anyway - at the court hearing before a federal judge made her ruling.

“I have faith in the Southern District prosecutors, that their integrity is unimpeachable,”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don’t share her view.
I also don’t hire illegal aliens like she does.

"I have faith in the Southern District prosecutors, that their integrity is unimpeachable," Wood said.

Was there laughter in the courtroom?

While there were very few mistakes, appointing Kimba Wood was one of President Reagan’s gravest errors.

So the FBI ‘taint’ team investigates the items the FBI search warrant team took using the cover of Mueller the ex FBI head instructions. Sounds kosher to me /S/S/S

They’ve already leaked. And if the judge didn’t issue a gag order, she’s basically saying, “Hey, boyz, go ahead and leak.”
