Judge who approved Trump search warrant attacked for synagogue involvement

The judge who approved the search on former President Donald Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago estate was attacked Tuesday for his synagogue involvement

Judge Bruce Reinhart, a former prosecutor who had previously been criticized for representing former employees of Jeffrey Epstein related to his sex-trafficking scandal, appears to be on the board of a South Florida synagogue. Trump loyalists eager to question the legitimacy of the FBI raid seized upon that detail, with Lenny Dykstra, a retired New York Mets legend, questioning the nature of the Reform shul’s Judaism.

“I hope you all weren’t expecting that the synagogue where go-ahead-and-raid-Trump Judge #BruceReinhart is on the board of trustees is one where the congregation keeps kosher, observes the sabbath, etc. You can bet they’re into “social justice” of course!” Dykstra tweeted to his nearly 87,000 followers.

Reinhart was sworn in as a magistrate judge for the Southern District of Florida in 2018 after a decade in private practice. He had previously been a prosecutor at the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of Florida. A Bruce Reinhart is listed on the current board of trustees on the website of Temple Beth David, a Reform congregation in Palm Beach Gardens.

World Series championship. But Curt burned his ass out of Boston, stole from the taxpayers of RI, and proved himself to be a characterless ass-hole.

When republicans tell you who they are, believe them.

Rotten pricks. If he was sworn in sometime in 2018 then he was a Trump appointment, Federalist Society approved.

Quit 'years bitchin, babies.

when they find it doesn't involve bowing down to Trump like the GOP. I notice that the page he linked to says nothing about 'social justice', but it is a female rabbi, so this probably triggered his misogyny. Looking at the crime sheet linked to above, it's amazing that anyone follows him on Twitter.

During my childhood, my reformed family joined a conservative temple/synagogue. The congregation made sure we felt not Jewish enough. WE might as well have been gentiles.

The word is “Reform” not “Reformed”. I was raised in a Reform household, bar mitzvahed, and confirmed. Not once did I hear the term “Reformed”. My synagogue “only” had 1300 families and four rabbis including the Senior Rabbi, and there was no mention of that word. Ever.
