So, the DOJ/FBI, in their zeal to gather evidence took stuff they had no legal right to take and are now "offering" to return the stuff.
Anyone with a brain, knows they will only return the stuff after photocopying, photographing or whatever everything they illegally took.

@raphjd Your statement displays that you've never participated in a seizure of evidence under warrant or subpoena.
For example, a warrant will tell law enforcement to seize specific documents, but it will also include language that tells LE to seize any documents within the same container or containers stored similar to those containing named documents. This catch-all language is almost always included in warrants, and excess property is routinely seized. This is why the owner is given a receipt for all of the property seized, which Trump did, in fact, receive.
Were you under the impression that the FBI were going to pop a squat in the middle of the room and go thru each box of voluminous materials before removing them from the premises? Not even back at headquarters are the agents going thru the boxes. That's a task that some poor document review attorney had to do.
I'm sure you thought this was something, but you've got nothing here.

Nice excuse. The warrant was vague enough to allow them to do what they did.
I noticed you didn't deny that they will make copies of everything they took illegally.
