A federal judge has acknowledged that redactions to an FBI affidavit spelling out the basis for the search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate might be so extensive as to make the document “meaningless” if released to the public.

I don’t know why people are getting excited.
Of course………
Yeah, the words “To who” and “From” will probably be the only thing unredacted.
The next best thing to keeping the warrant sealed, which makes it just as useless nevertheless.
Well no Sh%t!
What a boob (the Judge).
I see the judge is telegraphing to the FBI that heavy redactions (justified or not) are expected and that he’s not going to be upset with that (in true to Obama-loving-and-Trump-hating form).
Double-secret probation warrants smack of totalitarian regimes. It's patently un-American. It was not the intent of our Founders.

Except any part that paints President Trump in a bad light.
That’s ok. Let DJT and his lawyers hold up that redacted mess in front of every camera they can find. It works for him in the broader picture.
.
Meaningless - but not to Media, Schiff and Cheney.
They will weave narratives with the salacious (baseless) accusations that one side can insert with impunity.
About 5 years to verify what’s actually in there.
You may have reports, but the Govt and Media will aggressively call them lies. They said Nunes memo was all lies / including Wray. It was all True.
It shouldn’t be redacted at all. The constant leaking from the Justice Department, to Newsweek, the Wash Post, etc., has already made a mockery of any alleged need for secrecy.
I hate to say but I lay the blame for this raid at the feet of Donald Trump. He made this raid possible by reauthorizing the ill-named Patriot Act.
Next time he needs to let it expire...like he should have done before.
This is the October surprise. Wait until Oct for headline redaction leaks to insinuate drama.
He misspoke. He meant to say that the affidavit is heavily flawed, according to today’s WSJ.
More lines than Hunter Biden’s table.
If there was anything detrimental to Trump, it would already be on the front page of the NYT. The only news that gets suppressed is that which benefits Trump.
