I thought the federal court already told Garland to to make the warrant publicBY MONDAY!! Am I wrong isn’t the judge that signed off on the warrant a federal judge???
You are wrong, but it isn’t really your fault. A bunch of half-assed conservative bloggers falsely reported that the judge had ordered the warrant released. In fact, all he’d ordered was for the government to file a written response to a motion by third parties to see the warrant.
It was a Federal Magistrate Judge. Think entry level on the judge scale. Garland should have gotten a Chief Judge, since he was a judge in DC I bet he knew one and knew they wouldn’t sign off on it.
“Am I wrong isn’t the judge that signed off on the warrant a federal judge???”
No, it was a Federal Magistrate, the differences:
Many individuals wonder why there are two types of federal judges and what the difference is between them. A magistrate judge is appointed by the District court judges to serve a renewable term of ten years. They are much more limited in the matters that they can handle. They cannot try or sentence a person on a felony case.

No. Trump’s team filed a motion to unseal. The judge ordered them to respond by Monday. Apparently their response was also to move to unseal so now it’s just getting an order drafted and signed. Should be done tomorrow I’d think.
