Donnie is an unprofessional, corrupt idiot. His lawyers are unprofessional, corrupt idiots. They are all drunk on media attention, but remain as idiots. ETTD.

I have a bad feeling about this. This is not the right thing to do. I know there’s a public interest angle, but it’s also ‘the people’ that the DOJ is representing when it investigates and prosecutes someone.
Also, too: no matter how much you disclose, it will never be enough. They will never accept what you release. Just look at how they acted when DOJ allowed the release of the search warrant. That just gave them more fodder to get angry over and now here we are possibly releasing the Affidavit (albeit redacted).
The judge has to realize he is trying to negotiate with terrorists. TFG’s supporters are basically terrorists (they’re already threatening the judge) and you can’t negotiate with crazy. Perhaps the judge thinks they will leave him alone if he does this, but they won’t. They just won’t.

Pardon my French, but what’s the goddamn point of doing this? They already admit that they don’t know if it will be “meaningful for the public or the media” to see this, and we know it wouldn’t matter for the right wing if they released the complete unredacted version (“Yeah? Where’s the long-form affidavit, huh?”).
So why break precedent and legal procedure - to appease the lunatics threatening the judge? As if that would stop one bit of the abuse. Stop acquiescing to these POS bastards already, and start prosecuting them!

I sure hope Brucey isn’t doing this out of fear for his life.

Precisely the vibe I’m getting. This is an attempt to show the public how incredibly serious these accusations are and why it was so important to obtain and serve the search warrant. He’s gonna wind up deeply regretting demanding this release.

He wants to see what the redactions look like prior to doing anything.

Trump wants it so he can find the rat and silence them.
He may not want it public, but if that’s the only way he can get his hands on it, someone’s gonna jump off the 15th floor of some building soon after.
