Tillman of Maynouth University in Ireland\u00a0and\u00a0Eugene Volokh of the University of California, Los Angeles\u00a0\u2014 noted that the Constitution sets eligibility criteria for who can be president, and argued that\u00a0Supreme Court\u00a0rulings\u00a0suggest\u00a0Congress cannot alter it. The Constitution allows Congress to disqualify people from holding office in impeachment proceedings, but grants no such power for ordinary criminal law.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another difficulty in Elias\u2019 argument is the fact Donald Trump as president held broad powers over classified documents.<\/p>\n<p>Christina Bobb, one of Trump\u2019s top attorneys, was present for the\u00a0raid. Bobb tells OAN:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThis is absolutely a farce. To pretend\u00a0this is somehow law and order or an attempt at criminal justice\u00a0is\u00a0absolutely ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bobb says the raid was pure political theater:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump himself, as well as his legal team, has been more than accommodating and allowed access to whatever they have wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The raid included thirty FBI agents descending upon Trump\u2019s Florida estate \u2014 initially in plain clothes \u2014 who then used their search warrant to enter the grounds and rifle through Trump\u2019s private office and break into his safe.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>EPSTEIN ENTANGLED JUDGE GRANTED THE FBI SEARCH WARRANT<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Secret Service was forced to honor the warrant, which was issued by Judge Bruce Reinhart. Reinhart, according to the Miami Herald, was a magistrate judge in South Florida where he oversaw an early Epstein case that let the pedophile off on just 13 months of county jail time. The following year, Reinhart resigned from the South Florida US Attorney\u2019s Office to represent Epstein\u2019s top employees, including Epstein\u2019s pilot and scheduler.<\/p>\n<p>Reinhart was named in a civil suit accusing him of violating DOJ policies by seeking to curry favor with Epstein and his associates. Reinhart denied these charges, but was contradicted by his own colleagues in a 2013 court filing alleging Reinhart had \u201clearned confidential, non-public information about the Epstein matter.\u201d The complaints were ultimately dismissed by the DOJ.<\/p>\n<p>Reinhart is one of three federal magistrate judges in the West Palm Beach offices of the US District Court for the Southern District Court of Florida, along with William Matthewman and Ryon McCabe.<\/p>\n<p>The raid seems to have emboldened President Trump\u2019s resolve even further going into 2024.
