20. The judge who approved the warrant should be removed from the bench

Because the documents in question were already the subject of a court proceeding in another judges courtroom. You can't approve a warrant to seize documents - especially ones protected by State Law - when those documents are subject of an ongoing lawsuit in another judges court.

Now, DOJ will fight bloody murder and appeal this decisions because - I bet you - what they submitted to the judge is debunked QANON conspiracy garbage that has been rejected by every court. Guarantee you. The judge who approved this did so based upon debunked conspiracy theory nonsense. Because what else could they have provided that would show probable cause that contained within the are "the fruits of a crime" or "devices used to commit a crime"?
