Jon is going to be so embarrassed if this turns out to be nothing important.
Disappointed maybe. But I’m actually one of the few who has said we should suspend judgement until we learn what the DOJ knows.

I have a sneaking suspicion that “important” will have vastly different definitions to different people, and everybody will get to believe they were right! Yay!

Let’s agree on our own definition - my proposal: if this leads to an indictment of DJT it’s really important. If this leads to an indictment of someone on his team that will be interesting and will keep us entertained now and then but we won’t consider it “important” for the purposes of this thread.

I'm not really interested in this until the facts come out. Until then it's all posturing and speculation.

Agree - though I suspect it will take a while to 1) review the material obtained and 2) if something might involve prosecution, that might mean a delay in the release of that information. The virtue of patience is in short supply when something like this is in play. One can only hope that the people involved were responsible - evidence to the contrary seemingly a short distance away.

It's a sealed warrant, is it not?

The warrant application is sealed, the warrant itself is given to the subject of the search.

Then why doesn't Justice release it?

They don’t per policy for very good reasons if you think about it.
Comey tried to go off policy twice and it didn’t work out well.

Hugh Hewitt writes a column that is often pro-Trump and pro-GOP. He has this to say about the Mar-A-Lago search warrant:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/08/09/trump-search-warrant-make-public/
“… the American public needs to see the warrant — all of it. The former president has a copy; he should make it public. It likely lists the items to be seized and the laws allegedly violated. The affidavit supporting the warrant is probably sealed, former prosecutors say, and Attorney General Merrick Garland can seek to unseal it.”

In the Yahoo excerpt I posted, it was mentioned that copies of the President's Daily Briefing were either found at Mar-a-Lago or strongly speculated to have been found. I've redd details about the handling of the PDB, and I could swear that whoever brought it to the Oval Office each day remained in the room while the President redd it, and took it away with him again.
So how did Trump have copies of it?

If true that would answer the question posed by this thread.

It will be very interesting to see how Trump replies to the motion to unseal.
Does he fight it? That wouldn’t be a very good look.

My guess is that “information related to nuclear weapons” is the most salacious phrase someone could concoct that has some stretchy connection to some part of the documents sought. Problem is that it doesn’t lend itself to criminal motive, short of a Lex Luthor sort of crime.
