Judge Bruce Reinhart on Monday admitted the FBI's raid on former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home was "unprecedented" and formally rejected the Justice Department's argument to keep the affidavit leading to the search under seal, citing the "intense public and historical interest."
Reinhart, in a filing Monday morning, said he rejects "the Government’s argument that the present record justifies keeping the entire Affidavit under seal."
"The Government argues that even requiring it to redact portions of the Affidavit that could not reveal agent identities or investigative sources and methods imposes an undue burden on its resources and sets a precedent that could be disruptive and burdensome in future cases," Reinhart wrote. "I do not need to reach the question of whether, in some other case, these concerns could justify denying public access; they very well might."

unprecedented, ummm... dint you sign the order???
Unfortunately, so is this particular judge.
HE IS NOT A JUDGE REINHART IS A MAGISTRATE!!!
I think this clown was totally comfortable sticking it to Trump, until he felt the white-hot heat of public scrutiny and public/professional ridicule.
Watch for MAGISTRATE Reinhart to try to paint himself as the victim of DOJ overreach and lack of full disclosure.
This could get really interesting.
Maybe he thinks he was misled by the FBI. At this point, this is his best play.
maybe maybe not have to see what he lets get redacted..could be just blowing smoke..
now release it unredacted!!!! - today!!!!
Yes, unprecedented, but yet he allowed it to go forward knowing full well this public outrage would the be the consequence. It’s hard to believe the judge is having second thoughts.
It seems more reasonable to think that unsealing the warrant will just further the process of smearing President Trump’s reputation without having to prove anything in a court of law. Those who have written the warrant will continue to be (seemingly) out of reach for prosecution themselves and the media will have another trove of sensational “news” to fuel their nonstop negative coverage.
“Calls raid unprecedented.”
Yeah, but... HE APPROVED IT
A judge doesn't necessarily have to be a Trump supporter in order to follow the law and the Constitution.
For example, Alan Dershowitz doesn't like Trump and plans to vote against him if he runs, but he is still insisting unequivocally that this warrant/raid fiasco is unconstitutional and is a violation of Trump's Fourth Amendment rights..
Roger that!
Exactly!
Yes. Isn’t it interesting that these “agents” were flown in from Washington D.C.??? Why wasn’t this handled by the Florida field office???
Most radical leftists wouldn't acknowledge they were in the presence of a stinking pile of doo doo even if they were stepping in a bag of it!!! LOL
I’m beginning to wonder if the DC miscreants that ran Crossfire Hurricane went rogue, lying again to grt what they needed from Garland, the judge etc. Now the judge and Garland realize this was a fishing expedition and are backpeddling.
The obvious reason for the exercise was to CYA. But whose asses are on the line - and how far up the food chain do they go?
Exactly. If anything in the affidavit were so damning to Donald Trump, the DOJ - or their minions in the Ministry of Propaganda - otherwise known as the leftist fake news media - would be shouting it from the rooftops.
Reveal the identity of the liar who swore to it.
I think it was Sperry who exposed Ciaramella.
Not to mention that the Deep State would throw his sorry arse under the bus in a New York Minute if things go south.
,
Yes, Sperry is great!
But Ciaramella has been working with Biden and Biden wanted the FBi to take over the case against Hunter.
What does that tell you?
Joe Biden unmasked names after Clapper, Brennan, and Comey.
Then Biden lied and said he didn’t know about the Obama briefing, when he’s in Comey’s memos, and Biden suggested some laws that Comey should charge - so why did Biden lie?
And it was at this stage, before inauguration, they identified they needed to get rid of the AG (Sessions) for Comey to finish their plan.
