In reply to the discussion: Special counsel questioned witnesses about 2 rooms FBI didn't search inside Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence: Sources [View all]BumRushDaShow
(164,960 posts)26. Well in reality
you get to the point where if there are 1000 classified documents illegally in their possession, they will not then have "1000 charges" (they would be laughed out of court). They will select some of the most critical ones to go with to charge and the rest are "stipulated".
There were several articles (and OPs) that were posted leading up to what went on with their initial trips there, and if you look at what was posted in the affidavit and property inventory, they were pretty explicit.
This was the 38-page affidavit that summarizes what they did leading up to the search and seizure - https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22343178-220805-affidavit-less-redacted-220914

He came up under Mueller. Can't trust him anymore because he implies the FBI's overwhelmed, but offers no solutions

Looks that way. Plus his FBI chief of counterterrorism lied, saying the FBI isn't "authorized" to monitor social media

Trump's reply. I have done nothing wrong. They are my documents. Fuck you.

My thoughts exactly. I'll bet there are bodies buried under all of his properties.

Since when doesn't the FBI search every room when they issues a search warrant, locked or not.

If this hadn't been done carefully, they could have evidence ruled inadmissible in court.
