Judge denies Michael Cohen's restraining order over materials seized in raid
ABC 7 ^ | April 16, 2018 | Derick Waller

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.

We’re about due for a plot twist. All roads are connected to Fusion GPS and the Carter Page FISA warrant.

YES!

So my attorney-client privilege hinges on the judges perception of the integrity of the investigator?

“Judge Wood was appointed by Ronald Reagan.”

That just proves how deep the roots of the Deep State really are as Wood took Root in 1988.

Ah yes,this is the slutina skank who screwed around on her husband with another married man. She’s clearly an expert when it comes to integrity and high moral standards.

Democrats of the highest levels of power in D.C. are in some very serious trouble and they need some ammunition to go on an effective defense.

They’ve already started leaking. Fortunately denial of injunctive relief is cause for immediate appeal. We will see if this one gets to the Supreme Court.

Raid the homes of Pelosi, Schumer & McConnell.

Trump has 7 more years to accomplish that action item.

Jail for judges, who cannot follow legislative law.

This judge has quite a past:

Nominated for attorney general under Clinton. Her employment of illegals derailed her confirmation hearings.

Divorced her husband for not having enough sex with her.

Had an adulterous affair with a married millionaire.

Was a (failed) playboy bunny.

This is a bitter woman who hates to see a rich, powerful man and will do anything to take them down.

Don’t think for one minute that her use of the word “unimpeachable” was on accident.

Seriously ? Did the judge just return from an eighteen month sabatical in Ulan Bator ?

Who in hill thought up the idea of a judge... one single person... to decide the fate of another person!! whoever thought it up, mistakenly thought there was fairness in any person sitting on that bench of judgement!

The judges today are the deep state judges... and if we don’t rebel against this tyranny, they are going to take over and we will not recognize our country. those reporting and those living in Washington, live a life the rest of us do not!! they don’t know a lie when it stares them in the face.. they use words that don’t even call it a lie... they have lied to the public for so long ... and we have to let them know they will NOT impeach our President!!!

I can’t take it... every lie they say... every thing they attack Trump for.. they are attacking his voters... they look in the camera and forget the millions who they are insulting and taking through the mud with our Trump! They look in the camera and say we are not fit to chose our President... we are not capable of thinking... we are as guilty as they accuse Trump... and it’s not going to work for them!!!!! we are more than they...
