Question about the documents on the carpet photo - sorry if...

…it is a stupid one or if I have missed one thing I should have learned elsewhere. There are so many threads.

Is the photo of the documents strewn across the carpet a picture of how the FBI found them, or a picture of how they spread things out when they were looking thorough them?

Getting rump’s narcissistic Time mag covers in the shot was a nice touch.

Practice for hundreds of photos to be taken at the scene of a warrant. A CYA thing. Side note, Trump should be arrested for that carpet and cheap plastic accordion door covers.

You’ve probably seen photos on line with a bunch of guns laid out, often in an arc. Smaller ones in the middle. That’s not how the perps left them, it’s a photo to show what was found.

Frank Fulguzi in Stephanie Miller said the FBI puts them out like that for photographing. Evidence visuals

2A might be the number of the box they were found in or something.
