(113 posts)...there is only one reason at all that he would have them. He only ever does thing to serve himself. He wouldn't keep them just for himself. It's about what he can get for them. Quid pro quo, or cash, or whatever.
I'd be willing to bet they've got a smoking gun when it comes to the unauthorized transfer of information, be it Trump and Putin (or a similar foreign entity), or their surrogates. Finding that same information in the documents Trump had, and even recovering fingerprints, will be the final nails.
I can't imagine that seeking and authorizing a no-knock warrant on a former president, citing investigation of espionage and obstruction, would happen unless there was already an abundance of incriminating evidence. You don't tip your hand like this until you already have what you need.
