Two groups want the Mar-a-Lago affidavit unsealed. One wants the truth, the other wants a weapon.
While both Judicial Watch and the media had the same goal in mind, getting the receipts that convinced a federal magistrate to sign off on the warrant, it’s worth noting the divergent motives behind their arguments.
“The investigation has been made public by the target of the warrant himself, details of the investigation have appeared in publications throughout the world, members of Congress have demanded that the Justice Department provide an explanation, and political commentary on the search continues unabated,”.
It’s in Judicial Watch’s response to that argument that we can see where the divide between it and the media lies. Where the outlets in question see the transparency that the documents’ release would provide as a way to advance the public good, Judicial Watch founder Tom Fitton clearly frames the affidavit as a potential weapon against the Biden administration.
