Kabuki theater. They will keep secret the parts that we citizens actually need to see, and release scary slanted things about President Trump.
The editors are busy putting Blue bubbles over the faces of the FBI "agents".
So, this magistrate won’t refuse to release all of the affidavit, but will allow the DoJ to request parts be redacated. This is all window dressing. Let’s see how much of the affidavit Epstein’s lawyer redacts.
The FBI is toast. Like Tony Montana says in “Scarface” “You know frog face, you just f***ed yourself”
I don’t think they would redact the sentence “Trump is an anal sphincter.”
“Which means the public will be given a hundred-page document with everything blacked-out...]
The affidavit is 17 pages total, ZERO need for a week to redact.
I have no doubt Magistrate Bruce is looking for the least painful exit available to him, but it does not exist. Redact too much, he looks bad, redact too little, he looks worse. He’s boxed into a corner and will likely find himself unable to safely walk down most streets in the U.S. because of his treachery; an honor well-deserved.
As for Garland, the world now sees how truly radical Obama was to attempt to put this clown-show of a man Garland on SCOTUS. He’s demonstrated he is wholly unfit for the position of trust he currently enjoys.
The sooner both of these men are removed from their positions the better!
Who decides what is redacted on the affidavit? Can the redactions be challenged? If so, how does the redactio0n challenge process work?
As per the Prez’s son-in-law on Levine last night, Rat’s want the names in the affidavit hidden, because they are the same names as the Russia, Russia Russia, and Impeachments Docs in the Raid.
This may backfire on the DOJ.
Someone may find the whole idea of a sealed warrant where the victim is never shown what items are to be searched for, or why, to be unconstitutional (like I believe it is) and ban that practice here on out.
Which a conservative Supreme Court it could happen.
One has to wonder if he even has the authority to sign such warrants.
Years ago, in Atlanta, people charged with felonies would receive a preliminary hearing in city court. Of course, the judges would go through the motions, deny any bail request and have everything transferred over to Fulton county. It was just the way it had always been done.
One day a defense attorney asked how a city judge, hearing traffic violations and city ordinance violations had the authority to hear arguments and sign warrants for cases involving murder, rape and robbery.
The lawyer was right.
Wonder if something like that applies in this instance.
Also the judge signed the “search warrant”, didn’t he keep a copy? Just release your copy!
What a kangaroo law enforcement system.......
I understand he will give DOJ an opportunity to redact it.
Has Fitton and Judicial Watch dropped any paperwork yet?
Years ago, it was detectives from the NYPD TARU that got into Weiner’s laptop and found all those emails.
They then contacted the FBI.
When he was Donald Trump, his head security guy was former NYPD. Donald Trump was somewhat revered by folks in NYC.
Would anyone doubt that the TARU guys were able to make copies of the information and that information, miraculously, ended up in the Oval Office?
Wow! Is that Carville as a baby?
Foolish and complicit.
If this thing looks as bad as it’s starting to, his out is that the Affiant, FBI Agent, and the US Attorney that presented the warrant lied. His job is to take them at their word. Don’t matter if or how much they lied. It isn’t his job to verify the information they provide.
Basically, they give him a story to establish Probable Cause. If the story makes sense, then he signs the warrant. Later, during a Suppression Hearing the defense has the opportunity to challenge every sentence of the affidavit/story and prove that Probable Cause did NOT exist. That’s where they catch them in their lies.
IE….confidential source told me this because they saw XYZ in the safe. Pres Trump shows that there is no way for the source to have known anything as they were never in the building.
And in federal court, sources will be identified and cross examined.
That happens, warrant tossed. Everything returned. Lawsuits dropped on everyone.
The original would be filed in the court in which it was taken out.
Copies given to the Fed’s.
Three parts to search warrants: affidavit, the actual order to search and the return of service.
The actual court order to search, is what is supposed to be left on the premises. The affidavit isn’t left.
They didn’t leave any paperwork?
