Surely it's no time for crickets?
Surely they are not going to wait to see what happens before they defend him?

After all, they recovered 15 boxes of classified materials from Mar-a- Lago a few months ago. It would have been the height of neglect and irresponsibility to take his word for it that there were no more documents there. They had to search to see if there were more.
Also, Trump offered no resistance to taking the boxes at the time. He willingly offered them up. It was a very laissez-faire moment. Go ahead. Take them, he offered.
But were there documents that may have been missed? The only way to know for sure was to get a search warrant and search the entire premises. In my opinion, that is a likely scenario of what happened. But, no one in the media knows for sure what they may have been looking for?
