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!
555 Exactly!!!

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.

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?

It’s always something.

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

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.

So what’s your theory as to why Trump hasn’t released the warrant?

Don’t know. But I’ll be a little surprised if they fight it tomorrow.

Problem for whom? Does the statute in question require the establishment of motive?
Problem for those hoping this marks the death knell of his political career. Contrary to popular belief, I suspect there are enough swing votes at play that a red handed Trump caught dirty dealing government secrets would destroy him for 2024.
