"He Alleges With His Opinion"

Of all the opinions about the search warrant, that is definitely one of them.

Affidavits aren't released while an investigation is on-going. If or when Trump is indicted or the investigation is over, then the affidavit can be released. He and his attorneys need to wait just like anyone else would have to if they found themselves in the same situation.

The judge needs to recuse himself from the hearing on releasing the affidavit on Thursday. This judge is known to have posted anti-Trump material on the Internet.

If you dont post some anti Trump material by this point, its a sign youre hopelessly biased.

Is she related to Sidney Powell? It sounds like they're two peas in a pod.

The DOJ has released the search warrant along with a list of property and items seized from Trump during the raid on his Palm Beach, Fla., estate a week ago Monday. However, the department is resisting legal efforts that would force officials to make public the affidavit citing “probable cause” for the search, which Trump is also demanding, Newsmax reported.

This is the likely opposition candidate for president, and a man who never even had a speeding ticket in his life. The armed raid with so many involved was a show of force in an attempt to intimidate not just the Trump family but those who might vote for him. It was not really about presidential papers. The polling on this question is interesting, the Democrat and Republican responses didn't surprise me. I'm an independent, there are all kinds of different independents and they are going to make the difference, you can see that more independents think Trump's political enemies were behind the raid then those who think it was motivated by an impartial system. This despite the left wing's grip on the major media, so facts are getting through:

Yes, the chauffeur usually gets the ticket.

The judge refused to release full affidavit.

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the government to redact and ultimately release a version of the highly sensitive warrant affidavit that was used to justify a search by the F.B.I. last week of former President Donald J. Trump’s private home and club.

Ruling from the bench, the judge, Bruce E. Reinhart, said that there were portions of the affidavit that “could be presumptively unsealed.”

“Whether those portions would be meaningful for the public or the media,” he added, was not for him to decide.

Judge Reinhart’s surprising decision struck a middle course between the Justice Department, which wanted to keep the affidavit entirely under wraps as its investigation into Mr. Trump’s handling of classified documents continued, and a group of news media organizations, which requested that it be released in full to the public.

Warrant affidavits — which are written and sworn to by federal agents before a search takes place — contain detailed information about criminal investigations and are almost always kept under seal until charges are filed.

As part of his ruling, Judge Reinhart ordered the government to send him under seal proposed redactions to the warrant affidavit by next Thursday at noon. He said he would review the suggestions and decide if he agreed with them.

There was a Debt Reduction Act?

There was a Debt Reduction Act?

Yeah, you're right - it was the Inflation Reduction Act.

 

[BPPLEE]

Yeah, you're right - it was the Inflation Reduction Act.

They could have called it either one. It has nothing to do with either

Here's my question. Why would Biden want to "distract" people right now? He just secured several major legislative victories, including two broadly popular bipartisan bills, gas prices are steadily dropping and inflation is also dropping. That doesn't even include the surprising passage of the IRA, which while broadly unpopular with Republicans of course, actually fulfills several of Biden's campaign promises. And of course the first major piece of legislation addressing gun violence in decades, which also passed on a bipartisan basis. This is the worst possible time for the news cycle to be taken over by something like this. So if it was all simply political, why not wait until after the election?
