Given how unhinged Aileen Cannon’s ruling of yesterday is. . . this is only partly tongue in cheek.

Most competent, honest judges in her shoes would have simply referred any dispute about the felony search warrant, or its execution… to the court that issued it. Especially where a civil remedy was sought by the warrant’s target.

Judge Reinhart did exceptionally well in the Craig “Faketoshi” Wright case, which we closely covered at another property — and mentioned occasionally here. He was practical, quick and balanced. As he has been in the warrant matters, directly. Naming him would certainly speed things along.

We will not bother with much more analysis of her decision, other than to say… she apparently finds a transcendent “property right” (of a THIEF!) in a few photos and news clippings, one that — out of hundreds of STOLEN classified documents… should eclipse the people’s right to return of stolen national defense secrets. STOLEN.

From this, she manages to try to say (impotently, since this power is not hers, sitting as a civil matter, in any event) that the government must stop using the STOLEN documents for any investigative purpose. Unfathomable.

So, I rob a bank of $20 million, in cash; the blue dye pack explodes on several stacks of bills as I exit the bank. I put the whole pallet of bills — including lots of bright blue-dyed ones… in my garage, under a lock and key, in my backyard. But I have $0.79 in loose change on a table in the garage that is actually mine.

The FBI gets a warrant; they come and pick-up all the bills, blue-dyed and not so. And inadvertently, they scoop the seventy-nine cents off the table.

Judge Cannon would say that even after FBI handed back all of the $0.79, it cannot continue to investigate who else might be involved (holding blue bills, for example, in the neighborhood) on a $20 million pile of STOLEN property… because… less than a buck was picked up in error. See the problem here? Damn. Just… damn.

Out.
