Magistrate judges are appointed by district judges to deal with matters including bond hearings and signing off on search warrants.

Reinhardt was appointed magistrate judge by a majority vote of the district court judges of the Southern District of Florida on March 19, 2018.

As of March 19, 2018, none of the district court judges on the Southern District of Florida were Trump appointees. While there currently are five Trump appointees (out of 15) active judges on the court, all five took office after March 2018.

The judges on the court at the time Reinhardt was appointed were:
Five Obama appointees
Two Clinton appointees
Two GWH Bush appointees
Two GW Bush appointees

This assumes that senior status judges don't participate. If they do, then the following also had a vote:
Five Clinton appointees
Two GW Bush appointees
One Nixon appointee
One Reagan appointee
One Carter appointee
One GHW Bush appointees

away from the huge story that trump stole national security secrets and may have sold them.

No one should be distracted. Epstein and a judge...who cares now? I'm surprised he didn't go the ol', reliable Hunter Biden laptop route

He knows they will never see or hear any rebuttal to anything he says. On the contrary, everything he says will be supported through endless repetition on the Right Wing media they have wrapped themselves in.
