They didn't announce it or even wear FBI jackets, they tried to keep it discreet. One could argue that Trump got out in front of it trying to control the narrative because he knows he is in some trouble and wants to push the witch hunt narrative before the findings are revealed. 

Could be. After all, Trump could publish the warrant itself, along with the list of items sought, and that would end a great deal of speculation.

No one disputes that Trump did illegally grab 25 BOXES of records, property which belonged to the government, not him, and it included some stuff so top secret it cannot be described or even mentioned.

But rather than demand that Trump explain why he broke the law to take and hold that property, I think it much more productive to demand that the FBI explain what it was doing in a house full of illegally taken records with top secret documents.  The trump-appointed judge who signed off on the warrant, and trump appointed FBI director, need to explain to the American people why they were going after those top secret and illegally held records.  And how do we know that the Trump-appointed director didn't have his men plant documents they "found"?

McCarthy says the DOJ has been "weaponized" now, so who knows? Like most of us, I long for the stability and evenhandedness of the DOJ under Sessions and Barr. 

If the DOJ can do this to Trump for illegally taking and holding highly classified documents--they could do it to any of us!!
