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 was the Magistrate who 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.
The POTUS did not appoint them.
Senate has not confirmed the Senate.
They are authorized to sign nearly all federal warrants.
How does a USMJ not kick an application for a search warrant on a *former POTUS* upstairs to a real judge? 😒

How could a lower-ranking, inconfirmed and nonappointed magistrate judge approve the most significant FBI warrant for 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.
But, it seems so insignificant when compared to the other things we have learned 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. How did Reinhardt know that he was getting sweetheart deals from the DOJ? Reinhardt appears to be a staunch Trump supporter. 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.
