Secrecy is exactly what is wrong about this. Secrecy allowed wild media speculation in Trump-Russia matter. As target, Trump is entitled to copy of warrant, underlying affidavit. He should make them public immediately. Today.

I wish he would have a press conference and release the warrant and announce that he is running for President 2024
I assume even though he was in NY at the time his lawyer gave him a copy of the warrant
A warrant void of reasonable evidence of probable cause is an invalid warrant (4th Amendment).
Where is the FBI news conference explaining what this is about?
I think the warrant served to whomever received it at Mar A Lago just had to state that the raid was legally authorized and by whom. It did not have to state what the FBI was looking for.
“ It did not have to state what the FBI was looking for.”
Incorrect. Warrants must state what in particular is to be seized.

Good question. FBI guidelines under Wray prohibit them from releasing derogatory info on uncharged individuals. So trump should come out, release the warrant and give us the story. Without that, the only info out there will be stuff leaked to the press and speculation.
Warrants actually must describe with particularity the things for which the search is being conduct, or they are invalid.
He should not announce until after the midterms. Doing so now will make *HIM* the issue of the midterms instead of inflation, high gas prices, Taxes, illegal aliens and the whole host of other ways the corrupt idiot Biden has screwed things up.
Also, the RNC stops paying his legal bills once he announces, so he should milk that a little longer. Might as well get something out of the bastards.
It should be pretty simple. Procedures for a warrant require leaving a copy of it, along with a receipt of items seized, with the target.
Yes, but these are dems, so...Optics, brother. Screw the law.
The FBI has no guidelines, they're a criminal rouge agency. You say the FBI does not slander or attempt to vilify or go after people not charged, but they had no problem attempting to discredit and minimize the negative reports regarding Hunter Biden.
Btw, could you explain what the FBI's policy is on criminally undermining, compromising and attempting to overthrow a presidential candidate then a sitting president?
Beg to differ. What makes a warrant legal and valid is specificity in what is sought. which must be stated on the face of the warrant. Of course, it’s been known to happen that some morons - or partisans - in black robes are happy to give a wink and a nod to a lying agent. Speaking from experience here.
You’re absolutely right, but that assumes a judge who is not corrupt, or who experiences a sudden and “unexplained” financial windfall, such as an inheritance from good old Uncle Rufus who died suddenly, in the days right before or after signing.
The old fish net warrant. “Go see what you can find”, evidence found not admissible in court.
Correct. They are only interested in the smear that comes from trying the “case” in the press.
I don’t work for the FBI and I’m not a spokesperson for the FBI, I’m just answering the question. The current policy allows them to clear people they are not pursuing, but it doesn’t allow them to release derogatory info about people they are pursuing. If they’re not investigating Hunter Biden, they can say that (per the policy). I don’t know about FBI internal policy about how to treat an incumbent administration, but I believe there are a lot of people there who hate trump and probably a bunch who love him.
Of course. Trump can put it up on TruthSocial in 5 minutes, take control of the story and stop the slow drip release of disinformation targeting him. Put the DOJ and federal magistrate on the defensive. Seems like a no brainer to me.
