U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart on Thursday said the affidavit related to the FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate should not be completely sealed, Fox News has learned.
Reinhardt has ordered other documents related to the FBI raid to be unsealed today, including the application for the warrant, the motion to seal, and the cover sheet.
On the affidavit, the judge found that the entire affidavit should not be sealed. Reinhart has reportedly given the government one week to submit proposed redactions under seal by noon on August 25th. Judge Reinhart will review those redactions and then decide how he wants to proceed, if he wants to make his own redactions instead.
He reminded all that if the government or media object to his redactions, which will also be under seal, they can appeal his ruling.

Redactions at the level they make will render such an unsealing worthless.
“Redactions” = Coverup and hide
Opacity, not transparency. Why would anyone expect anything more?
IS it not possible to take this unsealing to a higher court judge, like a district court?
He definitely should have recused himself for this case.
“portions”????
Sounds like the ol’ Cut-The-Baby-In-Half ruling
The judge attempted to save himself.
And threw the FBI/ DOJ/ AG under the bus.
Cover the agents/witnesses name, that’s all that should be redacted.
.
Should read Epstein Judge.
It’s amazing how many on TV said Trump was hiding something by not releasing Everything. Now, they are all for obfuscating and lying.
Trump was nefariously hiding something - now that he’s asked for it to be released - the same peeps are hiding behind Lies!
.
Don’t sweat the small stuff.
“Jared Kushner” will be redacted by DOJ, by the judge, and by anybody else with a say in the matter.
Imagine the reaction if some ordinary fellow redacted documents that the feds demanded?
“Redactions at the level they make will render such an unsealing worthless.”
DITTO DITTO DITTO
This outcome was to me predictable.
Courts defer to federal prosecutors on this score nearly always.
HEAVILY REDACTED which means only the bad things about Trump will be shown, the rest wont
If anyone wants to protest this tyranny like the Democrats do for any reason, are the addresses of Wray, Garland and Judge Bruce Reinhart available? Some people might want to go protest in front of their homes, just like the Democrats have done.
Yea
This is a CYA virtue signaling move to quiet things down.
Reinhart is a lowly magistrate. This is way above his pay grade and the notion that he could redact is arrogance in full display to the world. This judge needs to become permanently unemployed.
