(106,453 posts)46. That was the warrant, which had already been given to Mar-a-Lago and Trump's lawyers
That told Trump et al what the FBI were allowed to do. This is about the underlying DoJ case that they presented to this magistrate judge. They want to keep that inside the DoJ.
In TV police terms, think of this as the media asking to be allowed into the police incident room before any charges are laid, to look at the big board with all the photos, connecting lines and so on. The judge is saying "let them in, after you've sorted out with me what to cover".

No, a judge making a decision that can be appealed is not "kicking the can down the road"

DOJ is good with it! Meaning the media is not! Interlocutory judgment, not appealable.

Fair enough, I think this can be done in the interest of some measure of transparency

Other sources are describing this as "minor procedural documents", not the affidavit itself

The GOP has found a way to make a traitor to his own country, appear to be the victim.
