Fmr. FBI Special Agent: The FBI Kept Trump’s Lawyers Out During the Raid Because They Didn’t Know ‘What the Hell They Were Looking For’

EXCERPT:

KAPLAN: “So, in this particular case, when the lawyer shows up — and by the way, just so we know we are talking facts and not rumor, we know the lawyers were there, and that's a fact, because she signed the inventory sheet. We know it’s Christina Bobb, so that’s a fact. We know, through her own statements, she was restricted and kept out. If Christina Bobb was allowed to come in, she would have said, 'Hey, guys, what are you looking for? Let me make your life a lot easier. Here are the documents, here are the boxes, be on your way and leave.' I can only conclude one thing, Dan. The fact that they would prevent a counsel or a lawyer or the target of a search warrant to be prevented from watching, just as a bird’s eye view — and keep in mind, I understand officer safety, we don’t want to let anybody impede or obstruct the search, but it would only be one reason, and that's, Dan, because they came in there not really knowing what the hell they were looking for. It was a fishing expedition. They went through everything, rifled through everything, and they were hoping they were going to find some smoking gun. That’s the reality, that’s the optics, that’s the perception and that's the divisiveness that's being played out right now."
