According to the Herald, which cited court documents, Reinhart resigned from the South Florida US Attorney’s Office effective on New Year’s Day 2008 and went to work for Epstein’s cohorts the following day.

Epstein, who was found dead in August 2019 of an apparent suicide in the Manhattan Correctional Center while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges, had hired a stable of high-powered lawyers for his defense in the late 2000s, including former independent counsel Kenneth Starr.

Ten months after starting work for Epstein’s co-conspirators, according to Federal Election Commission records, Reinhart gave $1,000 directly to the Obama campaign and another $1,000 to its fundraising arm, the Obama Victory Fund. Though the records show the judge made mostly small-dollar donations to his law firm’s political action committee in subsequent years, Reinhart also donated $500 to Jeb Bush’s 2016 presidential campaign in November 2015.

Reinhart was later named in a civil lawsuit by two of Epstein’s victims that accused him of violating Justice Department policies by switching sides in the middle of the Epstein investigation, suggesting he had spilled inside information about the probe to build favor with the notorious defendant, the Herald reported in 2018.

Your source missed this one about the corrupt democrat:

"This same judge had to recuse himself in June of this year in the lawsuit that Trump filed against Hillary Clinton and the DNC..yeah its the SAME JUDGE"

Trump had ties to Epstein also, seems like everyone did frankly. This is an interesting revelation but I don't think its that consequential at this point. I think it would have been safer had he recused himself but I don't think he violated recusal standards based on this alone.

cool story, bro...

You clarify that the judge was a Republican donor and a Democrat donor.. which would probably make him a middle of the road moderate on the political spectrum.
