While most of the allegations of corruption surrounding the FBI’s raid of Donald Trump’s estate in Florida have been pointed at the bureau itself, details about the judge who signed off on the warrant are raising eyebrows.
Bruce Reinhardt, Magistrate Judge of the Circuit Court rubber stamped the warrant. As Ron Coleman points out, that’s highly suspect given the profile of the situation.
US Magistrate Judges are *not* Article III judges.
This was not done by the POTUS.
Senate has not confirmed the Senate.
They can sign almost all federal warrants.
How does a USMJ not kick an application for a search warrant on a *former POTUS* upstairs to a real judge? 😒

What is the point of a magistrate judge at low level, who has not been confirmed or appointed, signing off on the FBI’s most important warrant in many decades? The former President of the United States would have to be examined by a true judge if he was asked for a warrant. This judge, however, was willing to grant the FBI the information they requested while the FBI accepted it.
This seems insignificant compared with what we know now about Reinhardt. Astonishingly, he quit his job as a prosecutor to go work for infamous sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s associates, and he helped secure immunity deals for many of the low-life enablers who surrounded Epstein.
According to the Miami Herald (link below), the judge who signed off on the Trump raid previously worked for Jeffrey Epstein and repped Epstein’s pilot and secretary.

How do all these government officials continue to end up in Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit? I could speculate, but I’ll leave that question open-ended. However, this seems to be an awful conflict of interests for a former U.S. Assistant to go immediately and defend individuals being targeted by government. He was a DOJ veteran who helped secure these sweetheart agreements. Reinhardt doesn’t like Donald Trump. According to The National Pulse he was a donor for Barack Obama.
To recap, we have an Obama-loving magistrate judge who signed off on a major warrant targeting a president without a second thought and who also defended Jeffrey Epstein’s associates. That’s a lot of red flags, and this entire thing stinks to high heaven.
