>> so im not sure i would take it that far. the d.o.j. is in a tough position. trump has access to lots of properties where he could stash something that he doesnt want prosecutors to find. prosecutors cant get a search warrant unless they have probable cause to think that what theyre looking for is in a very specific place. so they cant go on a fishing expedition. maybe it is in a storage lock ner new jersey, and ma it is in a closet at trump power, maybe is not probable cause. prosecutors have...
