I’m not sure what they do if the evidence is top secret.
Surely it’s all declassified?
Apparently so, either by having it in his possession or by, Lord knows, magic. Let’s let the courts decide and set a precedent. After all, that how Common Law works.

Either that or it was wedding plans and recipes.

Or he could have plans to bury some more ex-wives there...

I think the declassified argument can be made.
I also think an argument can be made for a nonspecific warrant and the inherent problens with evidence gathered under such warrant.
And I think the FBI is going to have to come up with something extraordinary or they're going to seriously regret their actions.

‘Comically Inept and Inexperienced’ Legal Team
“Publicly, what they’re saying is this is rallying Republicans to Trump’s defense,” Karl said. “This makes it more likely that he will run for president, more likely that he will win the Republican nomination. Campaigning against this political action by the FBI and the DOJ.
“Privately, they are really concerned. And one of the big concerns here is that Trump has nobody defending him. If you look at his legal team, it is comically inept and inexperienced. All of the big names who defended him through the first two impeachments, through the Mueller investigation, they are gone. There is real concern that he needs to bring in a heavy hitting criminal defense attorney.”
Trouble is, according to Karl, that Trump just can’t find a top attorney willing to take him on as a client.
“I know of several that have been approached who have said no,” Karl said. “I even know of one prominent criminal defense attorney who was approached who didn’t even return the phone call.”
Karl went on to question how Trump plans to get enough Republicans to vote for him in a presidential primary when he can’t even get an attorney to defend him.
“The idea of Donald Trump running for president again and being the frontrunner for the Republican nomination — will Republicans be comfortable supporting a candidate who cannot even hire a criminal defense attorney?”

You’d think the worry would be about having to support a candidate who desperately needs a criminal defense attorney in the first place.

I think one of the lawyers that filed his brief used to be a host on OANN.

Michael Cohen is probably free.
Then again, he probably wants to stay that way.

"Lindsey Halligan is a partner in the Miami and Ft. Lauderdale East offices’ Property Group, which focuses on defending multiple carriers in first-party insurance claims. Lindsey’s practice focuses on the litigation of numerous water, fire, SIU fraud, vandalism and theft claims on both residential and commercial properties."
She uses a gmail address. Apparently she needed assistance in the simple mechanics of filing the motion. Legal Twitter has been unkind.
DON’T let them eat cake.

Well, there was that exposed Access Hollywood video where he outlined his approach to human resources...
-
And that's why he's having trouble hiring a lawyer. The Swamp, with an unlimited amount of resources, will take his lawyers under intense scrutiny and try its best to make a negative impact on their wallet and on their life.
What lawyer in their right mind wants that?
-
I would suggest that Trump’s trouble finding lawyers is 1) he has a reputation for not following their advice then blaming them when things go south and; 2) he is notorious for refusing to pay his bills.
In other words, he is a liability not an asset.

Nah, I don’t think that picture is negative for the lawyer. Nothing illegal or unethical is shown in that picture. (That picture looks like it’s from an anti-smoking campaign.) A lawyer can have other legitimate interests that lead to a picture like this. A lawyer can have a life outside of his/her life outside of his/her legal practice.

That's precisely as I've heard it described. You never know when he's going to undermine your entire legal strategy with a

Why didn't Trump just burn it all?
