Good day all. It\u2019s been about a day since the Federal Bureau of Incompetents ransacked Mar-a-lago and former First Lady Melania Trump\u2019s underwear draw. The rage and questions regarding this raid continues. One question is, who is the idiot judge who signed this warrant?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While the warrant hasn\u2019t been releases as of this posting, information has come out that it wasn\u2019t a federal or state judge, but a federal magistrate instead, one Bruce Reinhart. It turns out that Reinhart is a real piece of work and not a fan of President Trump. First, a few details on Magistrate Judges. These are people who are NOT appointed by the President of the United States and have not been confirmed by the United States Senate. According to that tome of all knowledge, Wikipedia<\/a>, (You can stop laughing now):<\/p>\n

Unlike U.S. district judges, who are nominated by the President<\/a> and confirmed<\/a> by the United States Senate<\/a> for lifetime tenure<\/a>, magistrate judges are appointed by a majority vote of the federal district judges of a particular district<\/a> and serve terms of eight years if full-time, or four years if part-time, and may be reappointed.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the things these magistrates can do is issue search warrants. To be honest, I wasn\u2019t aware of either the magistrates or the fact that they had the power to sign off on a warrant. Now I, and I gather many more people are finding this out, and if they\u2019re like me, aren\u2019t to happy about it. This brings us to Bruce Reinhart. It seems that he was Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s, (Who didn\u2019t hang himself), lawyer, and it\u2019s interesting how he got that job. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

The federal judge who reportedly signed off on the\u00a0raid at former President Trump’s<\/a>\u00a0Mar-a-Lago residence donated thousands of dollars to former President Barack Obama’s presidential campaign and victory fund in 2008. <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to the same New York Post<\/a> report on the donations, Reinhart also represented employees<\/a> of the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in connection to a sex trafficking investigation. Reinhart previously told the Miami Herald that those he represented included Epstein\u2019s pilots, his scheduler, Sarah Kellen, and a woman named Nadia Marcinkova. <\/b><\/p>\n

What\u2019s interesting and not in the Fox News story is that Reinhart was originally part of the U.S. Attorney\u2019s office that was investigating and prosecuting Epstein, (Who didn\u2019t hang himself), and who then resigned and offered his services to the Epstein defense team. According the the New York Post story<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Reinhart was elevated to magistrate judge in March 2018 after 10 years in private practice. That November, the Miami Herald reported that he had represented several of Epstein\u2019s employees \u2014 including, by Reinhart\u2019s own admission to the outlet, Epstein\u2019s pilots; his scheduler, Sarah Kellen; and Nadia Marcinkova, who Epstein once reportedly described as his \u201cYugoslavian sex slave.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

According to the Herald, which cited court documents, Reinhart resigned from the South Florida US Attorney\u2019s Office effective on New Year\u2019s Day 2008 and went to work for Epstein\u2019s cohorts the following day. <\/b><\/p>\n

It certainly paid off for Epstein. He only got 13 months in a county jail for his grooming teenage girls and using them as sex slaves. Of course he was accused of the obvious conflict of interest.<\/p>\n

Reinhart was later named in a civil lawsuit by two of Epstein\u2019s victims that accused him of violating Justice Department policies by switching sides in the middle of the Epstein investigation, suggesting he had spilled inside information about the probe to build favor with the notorious defendant, the Herald reported in 2018. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, Reinhart denied this, the problem was that others from his office contradicted him.<\/p>\n

However, in a 2013 court filing, Reinhart\u2019s former colleagues contradicted him, saying that he had \u201clearned confidential, non-public information about the Epstein matter\u201d while employed by the US Attorney\u2019s Office. Reinhart noted to the Herald in response that a complaint filed against him by a lawyer for Epstein\u2019s victims had been dismissed by the Justice Department.<\/b><\/p>\n

We know now that Epstein had hooks into everyone in Washington’s Deep State. It isn\u2019t at all surprising that his \u201cFriends\u201d were able to get the complaint dismissed. It also makes people wonder what else Epstein had on Reinhart himself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My first thought is Epstein\u2019s \u201cSecret\u201d files. Either the FBI found them when they raided Lolita Island, or Ghislaine Maxwell handed them over to avoid being suicided. On the other hand, considering what a dirtbag Reinhart appears to be, it wouldn\u2019t have been much of a stretch for Garland to \u201cConvince him\u201d to sign off on the search warrant.<\/p>\n

However the FBI managed to get this very questionable warrant, it does bring up a major issue. Why wasn\u2019t this signed by an actual federal judge? One who had been appointed by a president and confirmed by the Senate? A real judge would have been very careful before signing this warrant, and might have turned it down.<\/p>\n

The optics on this are horrible, and they are getting worse by the moment. I suspect that Reinhart might just find himself in front of an investigative committee next year answering some very pointed questions, basically revolving around \u201cWhat they Hell were you thinking?\u201d<\/p>\n

I also think that this whole magistrate business needs some serious review. I\u2019m not a constitutional scholar, but have judges appoint someone with the ability do do this much damage makes me think the time has come to look into either ending the system, or putting some sort of congressional oversight and or Senate confirmation. However that is something for another day. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n
