...federal law enforcement doesn’t operate like local cops and prosecutors. The latter are at least perceived to be so preoccupied with playing cops and robbers that they’ll serve warrants, make arrests and bring charges even when their cases are half-baked. The Feds, on the other hand, have both patience and the resources of the federal government at their disposal; they usually don’t show up until they’ve already got the goods on you and at that point, running is futile because an arrest, if not conviction, is a foregone conclusion.

But
what they went looking for is almost an aside to the fact that they were there at all, that the Federal Bureau of Investigation actually obtained a search warrant for the residence of a man who was the elected leader of the executive branch of government until 20 months ago. That’s world changing. It means the Feds think the last person to have been president of this country might have evidence of a crime in his possession. It means they didn’t even bother with a subpoena and waiting to see if Trump and his team would comply.
