It looks like DJT was in possession of some unclassified material that belongs in the national archives. There does not seem to be anything in those boxes looks to involve national security or involves covering up a crime. So...I agree with Alan Dershowitz that to raid the Presidents home to retrieve the boxes is out of order and jumps the usual legal remedies. Raids are last resorts and there is no evidence that DJT was intending on destroying the materials in the boxes. This looks pretty much like a witch hunt to get into ML and hopefully find something extra in those boxes that could incriminate DJT and destroy his chances for re-election.

Imho...This was a woefully stupid thing for the DOJ to do and even if they did find something there is a good chance that legally it will be suppressed. It was also stupid because it plays directly into DJT's hands. He has been beating the "Dems are out to get me" drum for 6 years. All they have done is backed up those claims with this foolish exercise of futility and will empower both Trump and his followers to push forward in 24. This is a fck up of monumental proportions on the behalf of the DOJ and undermines the confidence of the American people in that agency. It will be interesting to see where this goes over the next few days and weeks..but..I see nothing but problems for the DOJ and the Biden administration here.
