That's messed up right there. The Special Agent who wrote the warrant application affidavit is the one who has to go in front of the Magistrate and swear to the affidavit. Not the AUSA. Either the person writing this doesn't know what they are talking about or there is some serious weird stuff going on with the warrant.

What were the chances that the guy over the warrant was going to be someone who had represented Epstein and his buddies while on a break from government?

Seriously, the appearances of impropriety in that should have meant using a different judge.

When liberal arts majors try to report on legal proceedings, they generally get more things wrong than they get right.

Given the nature of the case, the agent and the AUSA probably went before the judge together, but that is just my inference.
