In reply to the discussion: FBI executes search warrant at Trump's Mar-a-Lago in document investigation [View all]InstantGratification
(411 posts)This is a search related to the classified documents taken illegally. Weisselberg wouldn't have any access to or knowledge of that. If anyone flipped, it's someone inside the administration who had knowledge of those docs. Meadows could be the one. Could be someone else. It might be that no one flipped.
I (as a none lawyer) would think the KNOWN presence of classified docs at Mar A Lardass would be enough to sustain a search warrant application all on it's own. The reason this hasn't happened sooner was just chasing down the leads to see who was involved. A search warrant requires the applicant to name the place to be searched and the items/information being searched for to be named. You don't tip off where the investigation currently stands or where it is going while valid evidence and leads are still coming in from more stealthy sources unless you think that info is about to be destroyed. Usually the better play is to keep things on the down low and let the targets get complacent while you run down every lead.
