Attorney General Merrick Garland thought he had a flawless plan to take down Donald Trump.
But Garland hit a roadblock.
And a conservative group just filed one surprising lawsuit that caught Merrick Garland completely off guard.
The FBI’s raid on Donald Trump’s private estate is something you expect to see happen only in a third-world banana republic.
Federal magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart played a key role in the plot against Trump by authorizing the FBI’s search warrant.
Reinhart is also the judge who conspired with the FBI to release the mostly-redacted affidavit the Bureau presented to him to justify the raid.
But according to recently-discovered social media posts, Reinhart is another left-wing partisan hack helping to carry out the witch hunt against Trump.
Reinhart ranted against Trump several times on social media.
He even defended former Obama IRS Director Lois Lerner’s targeting and harassment of Tea Party groups who opposed the Democrats’ socialist agenda.
But Reinhart did more than push the left-wing, anti-Trump narrative on social media.
He also donated $2,000 to Barack Obama’s 2008 Presidential campaign and donated money to Trump’s GOP Primary opponent in 2025, Jeb Bush.
Reinhart is clearly a leftist who is helping Biden carry out his witch hunt against Trump.
But Tea Party Patriots just filed a lawsuit against Reinhart, accusing him of “unethical and prejudicial conduct” and of having a “conflict of interest and a pattern and history of hostility to President Trump.”
It asks that Reinhart be taken off of the case and removed from his job as federal magistrate judge.
“Judge Reinhart acted unethically in approving the warrant to search President Trump’s residence,” said Tea Party Patriots Action Chairman Jenny Beth Martin. “Judge Reinhart is a Democrat who donated to former President Obama. The judge publicly denigrated former President Trump in social media posts.”
“Just two months ago, he recused himself from a lawsuit involving President Trump in his suit against Hillary Clinton, citing a ‘conflict of interest,’” Beth Martin continued.
Reinhart previously recused himself from a civil lawsuit against Hillary Clinton filed by Donald Trump over the Russian collusion hoax because he could not be impartial in the case.
“He should be disciplined and removed as a federal magistrate,” Martin said. “The entire episode involving the search of former President Trump’s home threatens the principle of ‘equal justice under law’ and the confidence of the American people in an unbiased judiciary.”
Martin added that Reinhart should be removed as federal magistrate for “failure to meet the standards of ethical conduct and character.”
Merrick Garland’s plot against Donald Trump just hit an unexpected roadblock with the Tea Party Patriots Action lawsuit against federal magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart.
