This is serious as a heart attack. In order to get a search warrant, the FBI had to demonstrate probable cause 1) that a crime has occurred, and 2) that evidence is likely to be found at the location, and 3) that use of a search warrant is necessary to secure that evidence.

Think about that, two branches of government were involved. The former president is so untrustworthy that no other method would have secured the evidence. The Attorney General had to be convinced that it was necessary, a judge had to authorize it.

Wow. That's bad.
