Will this help or hurt Trump?
Reinhart is releasing the more salacious parts of the warrant so the press can speculate for a week and ignore the White House cocaine scandal.
Sounds about right
So I am sure the stuff that hurts Trump will be all that is released.
Reinhart is a lefty.
Is this Judge a Partisan Hack?
The cocaine scandal is to distract from the bribery scandal.
I would think it will probably help him. Yes, the usual media sources will manipulate and slant any information set out in the documents as devastating to President Trump. But sunlight usually is the best way to see what is true and what is false.
.
Particularly describing the item(s) to be seized and the location or person to be searched.
It’s not allowed to be a “we just want to go in and look around until we find something”. In the real law enforcement and judicial world, the affidavit has to describe the “crime”(there isn’t one), “describe what they’re looking for”(a general statement of documents isn’t cutting it...it has to be “Document ???? dated 01/01/2018 concerning ????), and describing MarALago rather specifically.
Time will tell what’s in there.
I’ve never been served with a search warrant, but don’t they give you a copy? If so, why doesn’t Trump simply release the entire thing on his own?
Not sure if that will be enough. But as long as the msm don’t put it on the morning or evening news then it did not happen for some..
“I’ve never been served with a search warrant, but don’t they give you a copy? If so, why doesn’t Trump simply release the entire thing on his own?”
He can’t unless he wants another charge of releasing “classified information”. I believe, the government’s position is that even the search warrant is classified. Heck, they don’t even want to give his attorneys their evidence before trial because they say it is “classified”. They don’t want any discovery documents to be available to the public or to let Trump release anything regarding their supposed evidence.
I’ve never in my life seen such a case in which the defense was so hobbled in putting on a defense!
He was, maybe still is, Married to Ramona Ripston, Head of the ACLU
“It’s not allowed to be a “we just want to go in and look around until we find something”. “
That’s the way it normally is in search warrants in criminal cases. However, it appears the government’s position is that all the usual Fourth Amendment rights have been suspended due to the “Trump exception” to those laws. Much like in every other case and accusation against him.
What happened? I thought the judge on the case was a woman appointed by Trump. Rinehart id s long standing democRAT anti Trumper.
This is like Fight Club……. First rule of the Trump case, the charges, the witnesses and the search warrant….. can’t talk about them…..
“What happened? I thought the judge on the case was a woman appointed by Trump. Rinehart id s long standing democRAT anti Trumper.”
I’m not sure, but I believe it is because he was the judge that issued the search warrant in the first place. Trump’s attorneys are still contesting the legality of the search warrant itself and that matter has yet to be resolved.
Therefore, in the continuing litigation over the search warrant, he will continue to be the presiding Judge. That issue has to be resolved before the case can move on to the accusations regarding the retained documents.
If someone else knows differently, they can chime in and correct my thinking.
>> ignore the White House cocaine scandal.
Others are speculating the cocaine scandal is meant to overshadow something else.
