This judge regardless of ties or past has the most beautiful window that was opened by the DOJ to make repairs on public perception of the outrageous conduct of senior FBI and DOJ officials and their top henchmen. He can send a message about the perjury before the FISA Court, the acts of being political mercenaries, and stop their abuse of power with this case. He merely has to show what they’ve put in front of him. (Unless he’s afraid for his life)
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?
The guy who repped as atty for Epstein is NOT going to do that but he could if he was a person of any substance and ethics and... patriotism. None of which may be assumed about this schnoz ambulance chaser put up job, trying to do what the “insiders” told him would make him a big man.
Sort of like the relationship Merrick Garland has to Judge Emmett “paedo” Sullivan, late of the Gen. Flynn case perpetuation (despite the DOJ dropping their case? Odd huh. These are a ring pervos who use the perv to control the perv.
Just as Epstein did this “magistrate” at first- paying him in little boys? Then changed over to repping the Romanian sex slave adult. Plea deal for Epstein for the govt. along the way? Who knows. Maybe the target of the search does.
