Now that Mara-A- Lago has been searched in a limited way and many suspicious things were found.

Can a more complete search be ordered to ensure that all the evidence was recovered. Lots of hiding places in that huge facility.

The government should not be in the business of subjecting anyone to legal fishing trips.

When it comes to criminals.


The government would need to at least show that there are more things missing and that Trump had the opportunity to take them to even get started. Search warrants need to be specific.

will be found at those locations. It's not enough to assume it might be there, even though very well it might be.

Surely a court would also authorize ongoing monitoring.

Were it anyone else.

Given the deference they've already shown to this particular crook, who knows.

Given the gravity of the situation and risks to national security, I should think the Feds would have cause to shut down MAL and do a thorough top-to-bottom search for documents. Treat the place like a damn crime scene, no holds barred. Seize all surveillance tapes, electronics, and visitor logs. Dust for fingerprints in any area where the stolen documents were hidden. Same thing at Bedminister and Trump's living quarters at Trump Tower and that place of his in NY State. (For extra fun, do it while he's hosting the Saudis.)

Time is the enemy; things could rapidly change with war, economic collapse, environmental collapse. or a midterm election.

Too bad Trump didn't get caught stealing Pampers from a convenience store.

There's an inventory of what has and has not been returned. There's no legal basis to search for documents that somehow weren't logged at the White House.
