Federal Court Cancels Hearing Over Trump Election Lawyer’s Attempt to Reclaim Seized Phone After DOJ Obtains SECOND Search Warrant
GATEWAY PUNDIT ^ | 8/30/2022 | Christina Laila

A federal court on Tuesday canceled a hearing over Trump election lawyer John Eastman’s attempt to reclaim his seized phone.

The court canceled the hearing after the corrupt Justice Department obtained a second search warrant which undermined Eastman’s case.

The judge continued, “The undersigned will take the Government at its word that the warrant was issued, and the Court’s decision will be based in part on that representation.”

“With this in mind, the Court will vacate the hearing currently set for September 6, 2022, and will decide Eastman’s motion on the written submissions of parties,” the judge wrote. The hearing was set for September 6, 2022.

“Given that the Government has affirmed to the Court on the record that a warrant has been issued, the Court finds that Eastman cannot make a good faith argument that an evidentiary issue on the existence of warrant remains,” Judge Robert Brack, a George W. Bush appointee wrote.

The judge’s order states that the phone was seized, the fbi would not provide proof of a search warrant, Eastman sued to get his property back since there was no evidence of a warrant. A hearing was set for Sep 6th. Meanwhile, the fbi replied that it was awaiting a second warrant to examine the contents of the phone. The judge accepting that claim of a 2nd warrant as proof that at least one warrant existed, canceled the hearing.

Not really standard procedure, I think.

No, I don’t think so. He would have to have the support of Mitch, McCarthy, Graham who all hog-tied him from firing people who were anti-Trump. They threatened if he fired some folks they wouldn’t pass his agenda, wouldn’t confirm his nominees etc. If GOP takes over Congress and Trump gets another term, will be the same old “we don’t want to prosecute and go there we need to move on blah blah”.

They never went after Hillary when they had the chance.

Stinks indeed.

A warrant must obtain prior to searching and seizing anything.

Assuming he’s not representing himself (and thus has a fool for a client), Eastman’s lawyer should be able to skin up a demand similar to Habeas Corpus (”you shall have the body”) to force production of the hard-copy warrant (’Habeas Chartam”? “Habeas Documentum”?). Otherwise his case falls apart.

Eastman has corrupt poltroon collaborator for a judge.

I am a complete dunce when it comes to legal matters, but this...this is astonishing to my untrained eye.

I cannot have ever imagined something like this would occur on a public stage. I can certainly imagine it happening to some poor schmuck with no lawyer, but to have it happen on a national stage, to a powerful lawyer, no less...I am totally flabbergasted by this.

I would have to think that if they could not produce a hard copy of the first warrant, that the entire thing would get thrown out, never mind disciplinary action against the inept persons who seized property under that missing warrant.

I find this as deeply disturbing as any legal misconduct I have witnessed in the last decade, simply due to the public shrug of the shoulders, as if they know fully nobody of significance is going to object.

I could clearly be wrong on this. But something in my gut tells me this is a Rubicon that has been crossed in quite a public and nonchalant manner, which makes it all the more disturbing. I would feel better if someone just came out and cited existing law that says this if all fine and dandy.

The Rubicon has been crossed so many times by the corrupt Biden administration that they might as well establish regular ferry service.
