All we can do is speculate at this point. Results are more important than motivation. IMHO. CYA is the most plausible answer based on judges known bias against Trump. The real question is who/what is he CYA-ing from? Was he threatened by the White hats to be outed (flipped)? Does he fear judicial reversal from a higher court so this is an attempt to display impartiality (he knows he was wrong and now knows he is the one being set up to be "the bag holder")? Is he just an useful idiot that found out he was lied to after approving the warrant and now he is taking retribution? Is he just doing this so the MSM can say "See, judge IS impartial and raid was justified" (CYA from public scrutiny)?
