49. I think you've got it

They are refusing to agree to the documents that were there because that is an admission of guilt. Akin to saying to the police that the cocaine they found in your car is in fact yours.

It's smart of Trump's lawyers not to certify what was seized in the raid. But I don't think it will help their case much in the end.

There's kind of a catch-22 involved in investigating an ex President. In any normal case, there already would have been charges and arrests, but because this is Trump, the justice department wants to go to the nth degree to do everything by the book and have an ironclad case. So a defense will be that the DOJ went to unusual lengths in this case.

I think he will be indicted, that is certain now, but I think it could take a while and how it all turns out is anyone's guess because this is truly uncharted territory.
