Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart is the judge who authorized the fraudulent search warrant used by the DOJ and FBI in the Mar-a-Lago raid against President Trump in August of last year. Today, Judge Reinhart accepted the position of Special Counsel Jack Smith and puts restrictions on President Trump’s ability to defend himself.
Judge Reinhart has approved the motion filed by Special Counsel Jack Smith to restrict President Trump’s access to the materials the DOJ claims to use against him and block the ability of President Trump to state publicly his defense against the evidence. The star chamber of the DOJ Lawfare operation is continuing unabated.
(Via ABC NEWS) – A federal judge on Monday approved a protective order sought by special counsel Jack Smith to keep former President Donald Trump from disclosing sensitive information in his classified documents case.
Smith sought the order to ensure that neither Trump nor codefendant Walt Nauta, Trump’s presidential valet, disclose sensitive information obtained during the discovery process, where prosecutors will show the defense what evidence it has amassed during their investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents since leaving office.

“The Discovery Materials, along with any information derived therefrom, shall not be disclosed to the public or the news media, or disseminated on any news or social media platform, without prior notice to and consent of the United States or approval of the Court,” Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart said in the order.
“Defendants shall only have access to Discovery Materials under the direct supervision of Defense Counsel or a member of Defense Counsel’s staff. Defendants shall not retain copies of Discovery Material,” the ruling said.
“The materials also include information pertaining to ongoing investigations, the disclosure of which could compromise those investigations and identify uncharged individuals,” their Friday filing said.
Furthermore, the protective order limits Trump’s access to the material, stating that he can only view the discovery materials under the direct supervision of his defense counsel or a member of the counsel’s staff. As demanded by the Special Counsel, Trump is not allowed to retain copies of the discovery material.
The order applies to both Trump and his co-defendant, Walt Nauta, and prohibits them from disseminating any evidence provided to their lawyers during the discovery process. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart emphasized that the discovery materials, along with any derived information, should not be made public or shared on news or social media platforms without prior consent from the United States or approval from the court.
The DOJ wants to limit public knowledge of the material evidence, not because it would harm national security – but rather because the nature of the evidence itself would highlight to the nation how fraudulent the targeting is. This is the guaranteed DOJ motive, that’s why everything is under seal and even the media will not talk about how they are gaining their leak knowledge. This is LAWFARE narrative engineering at its apex deployment. (more)
Hopefully everyone can see now why I created so much context for the Fourth Branch of Government. The DOJ is essentially arguing that some unknown administrative state has a superior position to the executive branch of government.
The US DOJ are affirming a belief in the omnipotent Fourth Branch of Government that Barack Obama created.
Trump Indictment a Violation of Federal Law – American Thinker
Keep in mind a magistrate judge is not an article iii judge. They work under a federal judge.
These prosecutors simply do not care one whit about the criminality of their persecution of Donald J. Trump. They do not care if their successful prosecution, conviction and even imprisonment of DJT is overturned due to prosecutorial misconduct or worse because by the time that happens, he will have been unable to run successfully for POTUS; he will have been denied ballot access in key Democrat controlled states.
Not that Democrats respect or follow the law, but there is no way under Constitutional authority for someone to be denied the opportunity to run for president. States have no legal authority to keep Trump off the ballot. Not that they won’t try or anything…
Can’t wait for these traitors to die. Lord, I pray for justice for this land…
I know there are layers upon layers of bad actors hounding Trump, but it seems like a small handful of ethical Judges could stop the entire witch hunt in its tracks. Why are Judges never held accountable?
How is any of this legal? Oh, right. It isn’t…
That Reinhart fellow looks a little girlish to me. Where do they come up with these people?
Why not just put PDJT in iron shackles provided by the DNC and have him flogged in the public square before execution? It’s what they really want.
The Virgin Islands representative confirmed your premise.
She should be censured and expelled from Congress for inciting violence against a former President!
There is a reckoning coming for people like Smith, Biden, Obama, and all the rest of the deep state. It will end in bloodshed for many people but these Communist fools will be taken out to the betterment of our country.
