Multiple CI's in the Trump raid?

Despite most of us assuming that the court would simply defer to the government, the magistrate has ordered the government to recommend redactions to allow a partial release…

…The question now is whether the court will push back on what is likely to be over broad proposed redactions. As I previously stated, I have little doubt that portions of the affidavit could be released without having a serious impact on the investigation…

..I was also struck that the media counsel referred to confidential informants in the plural. That is also something to watch as we go forward.

MSM trying to claim Judge did NOT order the unsealing of the Mar-a-Lago affidavit. He said he was inclined to at least partially unseal it, but wanted to see proposed redactions from the FBI. There was no order today.

Fox's Mark Meredith just reported that the released material on the warrant referred to the need for a seal was to prevent material from being destroyed…

I would have expected the emphasis to be on the ongoing investigation and CI protection. The threat of destruction raises whether the affidavit included allegations of destruction or the threat of destruction at Mar-a-Lago…

Notably, the search occurred after the media ran accounts (denied by Trump) that the former president routinely destroyed documents and flushed them down the toilet.
