The only side of Trump that's fit to post...
Judge Reinhart ruled the DOJ must turn over a redacted version of the affidavit before noon next Thursday...

A federal magistrate judge has given the Department of Justice one week to provide a redacted copy of the affidavit used to justify the unprecedented FBI search of former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, saying that he believes the affidavit should be partially released. (snip) The Justice Department argued during a hearing on Thursday afternoon that redacting the affidavit would leave no information of substance to release, and noted that the search itself and release of the warrant last week had created a volatile situation leading to death threats against FBI agents. (snip) Multiple media organizations had asked the judge to unseal all documents related to the search, notably the affidavit laying out the reasoning and research. At Thursday's hearing, the organizations said they do not want to release any information that would have a chilling effect on current or future witnesses, endanger people involved in the probe or compromise the investigation.
Trump really want’s to know who ratted him out...
Newsweek
"I call for the immediate release of the completely Unredacted Affidavit pertaining to this horrible and shocking BREAK-IN," Trump said on his Truth Social media site on Tuesday. Judge Reinhart has already seen the affidavit and would have used his assessment of it to determine whether the FBI had probable cause for the search, according to Jeffrey L. Kirchmeier, professor of law at CUNY School of Law. "The affidavit would provide information about why the FBI believed that the documents were held illegally and that they would be found at the place of the search," Kirchmeier told Newsweek.
Judge Reinhart likely just wants to get the deplorables off his ass...
