Judge who approved FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago once linked to Jeffrey Epstein
nypost ^ | 8/9/2022 | Miranda Devine

Posted on 08/09/2022 8:25:22 AM PDT by bitt

The Florida federal magistrate judge who signed off on a search warrant authorizing the FBI raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort left the local US Attorney’s office more than a decade ago to rep employees of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein who had received immunity in the long-running sex-trafficking investigation of the financier.

Sources tell The Post that Judge Bruce Reinhart approved the warrant that enabled federal agents to converge on the palatial South Florida estate on Monday in what Trump called an “unannounced raid on my home.”

Reinhart was elevated to magistrate judge in March 2018 after 10 years in private practice. That November, the Miami Herald reported that he had represented several of Epstein’s employees — including, by Reinhart’s own admission to the outlet, Epstein’s pilots; his scheduler, Sarah Kellen; and Nadia Marcinkova, who Epstein once reportedly described as his “Yugoslavian sex slave.”

Kellen and Marcinkova were among Epstein’s lieutenants who were granted immunity as part of a controversial 2007 deal with federal prosecutors that allowed the pervert to plead guilty to state charges rather than federal crimes. Epstein wound up serving just 13 months in county jail and was granted work release.

Shocking, yet not surprising.

I don’t know how anybody could work for that agency. Most people would be ashamed to used as pawns for a corrupt regime. Is that paycheck and pension enough?

Reinhart was given his magistrateship because he knows who all the Epstein John Does are and the evidence that can expose them.

NOw he lines up against aa persecuted President. The man is one dadstardly piece of work.

If any honest people still work at the FBI and DoJ, which I doubt (see story of Abraham and Sodom), they should immediately quit and upgrade their respectability of their employment by, say, joining a firm representing the Mafia.

You are assuming His ‘Honor’ is not a known John Doe.

Did he get his position precisely because when push came to shove he would do exactly as ordered?

Dittoes. And I don't know how anyone could still identify with the Democrats when that party has conclusively shown itself as both evil and stupid.

He could be a John Doe, but them that usually takes a lot more money.

But I could see how a lawyer for Epstein’s staff might have had his ass filmed porking some juvenile in statutory rape.

You summed it up. All part of the corrupt cabal and the Sovietization project.

Legal question: Does Trump have a copy of the search warrant, and if so, can he release it to the public?

A warrant isn't enough if it doesn't contain clear evidence of probable cause.

Fourth Amendment
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Probable cause is the likelihood that a crime is being or has been committed.

Where and what is the probable cause here?

What I do think is there is probable cause that Biden/Obama and the Left have officially declared war on America and her people.

How do we respond?

Good question, you'll never be asked to attend a WH press conference, good questions are not allowed.
