Comprehensively compromised U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart said Thursday he is leaning toward releasing some of the evidence presented by corrupt U.S. Justice Department officials to justify the general search warrant of President Donald Trump’s Florida home last week.
This is a case that pits We The People against the justice system, news organizations and corrupt federal prosecutors. Unfortunately, we have no representation in the matter.
The justice system, including the DOJ, FBI regime police and federal judiciary, needs to protect itself from public scrutiny lest the people discover the true motives of the star chamber narrative called ‘national security.’ As a consequence, we should expect no sunlight that is not heavily managed to protect all state stakeholders. In the background, China, Russia and Iran grin mightily as the illusion of democracy is exposed.
(Newsmax) – […] Judge Bruce Reinhart said he believes “there are portions of the affidavit that could be unsealed,” referring to the sworn statement laying out the evidence for why there was probable cause to search Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.
He ordered the Justice Department to file a redacted version of the affidavit under seal by noon next Thursday, but said the Justice Department will be given the opportunity to appeal if prosecutors don’t agree with his proposed version.
Reinhart’s order seemed to mark a victory for news outlets, who appeared in federal court in West Palm Beach on Thursday to persuade the judge that the public interest in the affidavit outweighs the benefits of keeping it sealed. The Justice Department opposes the release of the evidence.
Of course, the DOJ opposes the release of the affidavit. Without the secrecy the strategic value of their ongoing leaks to the media would diminish. Pretenses must be maintained; narratives must be sharpened; the illusion of a justice system is contingent upon strict rules against transparency.
Jay Bratt, the head of the department’s counterintelligence and export control section, told the judge on Thursday that releasing the affidavit is not in the public interest because it could harm the ongoing probe.
“There is another public interest at stake and that is the public interest that criminal investigations are able to go forward unimpeded,” he said.
The search was part of a federal investigation into whether Trump illegally removed documents when he left office in January 2021 after losing the presidential election to Democrat Joe Biden.
The Justice Department is investigating violations of three laws, including a provision in the Espionage Act that prohibits the possession of national defense information and another statute that makes it a crime to knowingly destroy, conceal or falsify records with the intent to obstruct an investigation.
Attorneys for several media outlets including The New York Times, the publisher of the Wall Street Journal, ABC News and NBC News told Reinhart on Thursday that the public’s right to know and the historic significance of the search outweigh any arguments to keep the records sealed.
“The public could not have a more compelling interest in ensuring maximum transparency over this event,” said Charles Tobin, one of the attorneys arguing for the media companies.
Trump in statements on social media has called on the court to unseal the unredacted version of the affidavit “in the interest of transparency.” (read more)
In the bigger picture there is no ‘trust’ left for the DOJ or FBI to lose. Even the illusion of integrity from within the institutions of Main Justice has been destroyed over the past decade with epic mountains of evidence toward how the justice department and their state police, FBI, have weaponized their agencies for political motives.
Despite the pontifications of the great pretenders, the American people are under no illusion that a non-corrupt justice system actually exists. At this moment the discussion in every village, hamlet and gathering is about how to deconstruct these agencies without violence, nothing more.
The time where pretending held some value, toward retaining the illusion of our constitutional republic, is in the rear view. We are all dissidents now; members of a national insurgency relegated to codewords and careful scripts in order to avoid the watchers.
In a just world a lawyer would look Judge Reinhart in the eye and tell him directly that his court, and the entire federal system of courts of which he is a member, are now positioned as the enemy of the people they have targeted with this weaponized system. General search warrants are unconstitutional, yet that is exactly what Main Justice requested and what Judge Reinhart approved.
Unfortunately, amid the great pretending class, the great pretenses remain. However, for the victims of this bastardized and corrupt system, comfortable denial is no longer an option… Acceptance has settled in.
Thank you for using President Jefferson’s quote. Let me add another, “Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.”
In God we trust. We certainly have no trust in the administrative cabal that has devoured the federal govern-not.
Interesting how China has faded into the background lately.
If our disgusting federal government actually cared about national security, they would close the Southern border. We are losing over 100,000 American citizens a year just from drug OD’s that are a direct result of the invasion of our country. Just imagine if America got into a shooting war and lost that many soldiers in one year. Does anybody here believe any American citizen would support that? And I didn’t even mention the child sex trafficking and the gun violence that are also direct results of this invasion.
I look to the bioweapon-related deaths as guidance. Does America even remember all those killed at the beginning, the nursing home murders? I doubt it. Never mind the hundreds of thousands since then.
That’s what America is, unfortunately.
Given who’s in power, even flag draped American coffins from Ukraine wouldn’t get much attention.
Porous border, drugs and their users? Tall order. With all the distractions, economic destruction, deteriorating physical and sociological health, citizens are IMO overwhelmed. The plan is working, so far.
And so the plan continues. Tucker was talking about how support for dims is getting stronger and their donors are filling their coffers.
The regime is setting the stage for the seemingly unlikely dim wins in the congress.
So many people are suffering, yet we’re supposed to believe now that the “red wave” will never be. That despite the sorry state of the country, people will vote to keep the dims in power. Maybe dead voters and nonexistent voters will push the dims to the winner’s circle, not the American people.
The media is spinning this tale to avoid suspicions of voter fraud. People will be conditioned to accept the defeat as a fait accompli since the Media “predicted it.”
You touched on another apparently forgotten imperative, election integrity.
Not much, if any, interest in and focus on that topic across the breadth of America. Sure, isolated groups are still vociferous but largely the 2020 election fraud has been forgotten.
Originally I opined the Uniparty would allow the GOP branch to succeed sufficiently to bolster the election integrity narrative and debunk 2020 as fraud once and for all but I’ve changed my mind. The Commies (Uniparty) are all in now. No illusions. Absolute power.
We’ll see. I still encourage citizens to vote whenever the topic comes up. Local is huge in that encouragement. We can make a difference locally by being engaged and educated. Even if things look grim and hostilities are imminent, still vote.
Mike Lindell (MyPillow) has not forgotten. He’s hosted a big organized multiple day meeting last weekend/this week that tells the tale of the machines “fixing” the elections in 2021 in EVERY state. The Precinct Strategy has made a big dent, pushing 8 of the 10 GOPe candidates Sundance identified as problematic out of the running, including Liz Cheney.
Doesn’t count for Dhimmicrats.
Yes, overwhelmed. Plan is not assured.
The ” …discussion in every village, hamlet and gathering is about how to deconstruct these agencies without violence, nothing more.” I wonder if that is true, or just wishful thinking. Can anyone imagine that Democrat “villagers” can even begin the process of imagining there is something wrong with the “Justice” system their elected fascist icons have reconstructed. In my experience, the people who support white trash like Biden are not able to see truth, would not recognize it if they could see it, and energetically wear blinders to prevent their eyes from encountering channels like this one. Their confirmation bia, and addiction the illusion of liberalism might be challenged. I KNOW this is true because when I send links to this place and others with the invitation to a Democrat to just take a look and see how this version of the story stacks up, they utterly refuse to even consider it. Rachel Maddow, who has never investigated anything, but queerly mouths the lies handed to her by professional liars, IS THE TRUTH to them. Their brains are screwed up…yes. And the point is, they cannot possible confess the government they think they’ve voted for is anything less than a pristine utopian construct. And there a lot of these idiots out there.
Make it local. Imagine rogue unelected local bureaucrats lording over the citizenry. There are scores of such positions of authority and power. How do we rid the local landscape of such humans? Who employs them? Who pays them? Who protects them? It’s all ‘who’s’. Humans. Mortal. Work it out based on one’s proclivities, peace or adverse action.
The same process works across structures of authority. The difference is numbers and, in adverse action, casualties. We can look to history as a guide in our own country and nations around the planet. The information is out there.
So, let me get this straight.
The DOJ and FBI accuse PDJT of a crime for “hiding” documents.
The same DOJ and FBI who now want to “hide” documents that support their unprecedented raid?
Who is the real criminal here?

No one should be under any illusions. This was not a win for the public. Reinhart’s ruling allowing the DOJ to redact the affidavit and file a memorandum in support of the redactions was a win for the DOJ.
The DOJ will redact everything substantive from the affidavit. Trump, his attorneys and the public will remain in the dark as to exactly who and what justified the search warrant that was was overbroad on its face.
The affidavit and the redactions is a side issue. The real issue is the documents themselves.
The DOJ has not identified a SINGLE document in any of the boxes it confiscated.
It hasn’t even identified HOW MANY documents it confiscated.
Why has this not been addressed?
“Why has this not been addressed?”
We can thumb back through the pages of CTH to PDJT’s administration and view scores of similar examples and the commonality among all wrt ‘why’ is because Branch 4 has no fear and its unelected bureaucrats are entrenched and coordinated.
Simply, who’s going to make them address anything and what does that look like? Handle it like the CIA handled ISIS operatives? Torture one’s way up the ladder? Ask nicely? File hundreds of lawsuits? What works?
Content of Trump’s documents and the intricacy of the legal-istic DOJ/FOIA thrash are incidental to The Main Point:
The Mar-a-Lago raid and its attendant press noise comprise a well crafted, hi-vis, KGB-style thug-move in the public square; the Swamp/Left are “sending a message” to you and me.
Doom On Them
That is indeed the purpose along with the 87K new armed IRS agents. Does not mean that their behavior will engender compliance of the people. On the other hand, it has alarmed and outraged many.
Great points. But, I think POTUS Trump and lawyers will be fully informed by their adversary in court. They just will not be able to share the details with the public. So, it effectively ties Trump’s hands in showing that the raid was illegal and that he was not at fault.
We know who you are scum…you can’t hide anymore…justice is coming…get your things in order. History will write your obituary.
While they redact most everything pertinent to this illegal raid. How long does it take to release a warrant, 15 minutes maybe??? So far a week later we see nothing.
W H Y???
Remember the tortuous path to the revelations of FISA warrant abuse? I think that’s relevant as an indicator of how the enemy operates. Same people, literally, in parts of this.
We need to restructure our Government back to the CORE of our Constitution…
End all the fake 3 letter agencies, claiming to be some entity protecting and or maintaining our Republic..
Bring back the bitch slap..!
F J B..and his cast of Clowns.
I love that snapshot of the judge. Very dignified.
Judge Reinhart is on the Crooked Hillary diet.
He’s a spokesman for it 🙂
Whiskey and vanilla double stuffed Oreos. Can’t go wrong there.
It’s his go to meal before he signs invalid warrants 🙂
Where are PDJT’s lawyers arguing for release? He most of all has a right to know what lies were used, and to promulgate the affidavit.
There is only one interest that matters to the Democrats, THEIR interest. They want Trump gone. Whatever it takes. OK?
Then realize the importance of a few words in the meaning of any sentence. Remove the word “not” and the entire meaning is completely different.
Then ask how easy it is for skilled, highly educated people to REDACT the words that make the warrant questionable or might jeopardize their purpose. Remove, primarily the words that ensure their lying media can use the result to write false, speculative headlines claiming TRUMP GUILTY OF 200 Counts of TREASON, e.g..
We are not able to believe a word these bastards say. The best codec is to realize that they generally say the exact opposite of what is true.
I call on the Supreme Court to intervene on this clearly “general search warrant” .
There are ways to get EVIL FBI ” frame Trump squads” and child molesters under control. One way is by making a good example out of the EVIL ones. The costs to the EVIL ones must be higher than the rewards of their treachery. Over time, it will come to this.
Mittens Romney’s niece is the RNC boss- We know Mittens is a GLOBALIST and Rona is a sellout.
The only parts that will be un-redacted will be damaging to Trump. Anything that would be exculpatory, will be redacted
exactly
So the judge releases what he wants. Not the whole thing. What a useless judge. How about I disbarr him.
I’m pretty sure the Florida House 0f representative can suspend this judge for misconduct, It seems pretty simple since he prior recused himself from a case with President Trump against HC
IMO Trump is held responsible for the overturning of Roe. The killer females and their dominated male submissives in The Democrat Crime Family will never stop until they can destroy him or until they are destroyed.
We are well beyond tar and feathers at this point and much closer to the guillotine and rack.
Good read.
I watched a 110 minute documentary today. It will stay on my mind for a very long time. It was called THE MAN NOBODY KNEW. Made available by Amazon Prime for members. It was produced in 2011 but it was focused on the 60’s and 70’s. I was spellbound. The language. The people. The voices from the past when the CIA was establishing its prominence. The subject matter was spymaster William Colby, but it was breathtaking in its scope. It was the first time I ever heard the term “family jewels” used in context to the lengths the CIA will go to protect their existence and destroy any documentation of their own wrongdoing. It made me think of the raid. They went too far this time. I hope Trump gets serious and nails them. The documentary is a mini-masterpiece IMHO, and a trove for related quotes from everyone we know from the JFK era to today. Dick Cheney is even mentioned.
I, too, think they went too far this time. This raid is backfiring BIGLY on DOJ/FBI. Hopefully, the backfire will bear the fruit of their demise.
