While I can't find any recent data, between the years of 1995 and 2002, the FBI had nearly 2 million cases. That comes out to about 285,000 new cases a year. Do you really think the President is getting daily updates on 285,000 cases?

Or, this judge was The only one they could get to sign off on such a broad request. They shop judges and know who will do their bidding.
Yes, and he is likely compromised.
He likely owes someone something.

Yes. Knowing there would be political backlash, the FBI are going to play this as by-the-book as possible. The FBI agent briefing the President on any other search warrants they're executing. If they had briefed Biden, then it becomes political.
If they keep Biden out of the loop, then the FBI can claim they were just following normal procedure in executing a search warrant.
it will be enjoyable to revisit this is a few months. I hope your account stays and you don't have to reincarnate.

I'm saying, regardless of how justified the warrant, people would still claim it is a political hit, so the FBI were trying to do everything by the book to minimize those claims.
