Sounds like Judge Reinhart doesn’t want to be the next judge to get schnookered by the DOJ/FBI as in the case of the bogus FISA warrants......and then thrown under the bus once he has outlived his usefulness!!

Just enough information to make Trump look bad and hide the truth no doubt.

A victory for the FBI cabal...here we go again Russia hoax 2! Ugh! Release the tape mr President and show Melania’s Personal items being ransacked! And then after the video you and it’s critical that Melania sits by your side and speak! If anything this would truly force the hand of the FBI to make known what the hell they were looking for in her drawers! We’ve got to go on the offense. Melania needs to start speaking up! I’m so tired of her hiding behind closed doors...protect it from what? they already hate her she’ll never make the cover of any magazine ever ...She needs to speak up she needs to take a stand! She needs to come down hard on the FBI! She has no idea the power she holds if she was just to speak out.

.......legal experts say a decade-old case over audio tapes that Bill Clinton once kept in his sock drawer may have significant impact over the FBI search of Melania Trump’s closet and Donald Trump’s personal office.........

FTA——The case in question is titled Judicial Watch v. National Archives and Records Administration and it involved an effort by the conservative watchdog to compel the Archives to forcibly seize hours of audio recordings that Clinton made during his presidency with historian Taylor Branch.

For pop culture, the case is most memorable for the revelation that the 42nd president for a time stored the audio tapes in his sock drawer at the White House.

The tapes became the focal point of a 2009 book that Branch wrote.

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington D.C. ultimately rejected Judicial Watch’s suit by concluding there was no provision in the Presidential Records Act to force the National Archives to seize records from a former president.

But Jackson’s ruling — along with the Justice Department’s arguments that preceded it — made some other sweeping declarations that have more direct relevance to the FBI’s decision to seize handwritten notes and files Trump took with him to Mar-a-Lago.

The most relevant is that a president’s discretion on what are personal vs. official records is far-reaching and solely his, as is his ability to declassify or destroy records at will.

Nah, political wives only have to do the joint appearance speaking when the husband has been caught cheating on the wife.

Really, why do we need to hear from the spouses of pols anyway?

Probably more revealing than the real one coming.

Reinhart is the DC judge that constantly has tried to screw Trump. This will likely be stuff not beneficial to Trump's cause.

The cherry pickers in the media will have a delightful time with partial data available. Almost all "breaking news" has been innuendo and allegation where nothing panned out...over time.

He’s possibly just giving them rope. The judge can do a lot here to repair a lot of damage back to 2016, and it’s all damage done by the FBI and DOJ. That fact speaks for itself and loudly.

That is the only thing they could argue would impact the case. That would have to be released if there is an indictment. I don’t think anything else could stand. Personally I think the entire thing should be released. Names and all.

This biased jackass shouldn’t be on this case. He should recuse himself for his obvious and proven hatred of Trump.

It also leaves everyone to speculate..or in the case of the msm..to make crap up. w
Obviously it must be some very serious stuff..like a shopping list or some such... Trump must be deep into something very bad.
Maybe he’s back to teaming up with the Russians to help overthrow the 2024 Presidential elections.

It’s going to be like the first release of the FISA warrant application. Mostly black pages with words such as “Trump”, “Classified” and “Mar-a-Lago” unredacted.

Because this was their personal home they raided. And they went through her things. That’s one thing women have in common if she goes out and speaks the majority of American women will be on her side. We don’t like men poking into our personal stuff. Also we need to force the FBI to fork over info of the affidavit ...what the hell were they looking for! Force their hand! I’m sorry but I see it differently and I think that we’re at the point of no return for this country ...Trump needs every hand on deck to fight for him that includes Melania too!

I would put money on this..

1. The FBI judge shops.

2. They find the MOST partisan judge they can find.
Maybe one known to be personally involved and hates Trump.

3 FBI convinces judge ‘We got him! 100%”

4. FBI convinces judge he will be bigger than Woodward and Bernstein! He will be the Judge that saved America! Books! Movies! Talk Shows! TV goto 8 figure/ yearly punditry!

5. Fbi Raids.

6 Does not get Nuclear Bomb Plans. Signed deal with Putin, Un and the Ayatollah.

7. Fbi says, “we’re all in this together, Judge”..

8. Fbi says “Well this judge signed the warrant, not our fault.”

9. Judge knows he is going to be tarred and feathered. Goes into damage control tries to distance redirect and put it back on FBI..

now we are at the finger pointing blame game act of our little play. Who you gonna believe? the Tainted bias Judge? Or the FBI heroes?

[Reinhard] reminded all that if the government or media object to his redactions, which will also be under seal, they can appeal his ruling.
