It is not Rudy Guiliani or some big-name lawyer.
It is Kevin McCarthy and his insurrectionist promoters on the House Select Committees.
McCarthy is following the orders of Donald Trump. His first step was in kicking Schiff and Swalwell off the Intelligence Committee. He is attempting to extort the Congress of the United States.
The "grievance" committees are working for Donald Trump. If Trump is indicted, Joe Biden will be impeached. McCarthy is all in with Trump.
In my opinion, the classified document search of Joe Biden's home and office was done at the request of Donald Trump, by his friends and supporters in the FBI, perhaps behind the back of Merrick Garland?
The Select Committees in the House are there to do the bidding of Donald Trump. They are there to attack anyone who attacks their former Leader. That is why they were created. Do not think they were created without the encouragement of the former president.
His strategy is to tear down the government from the inside if they continue to go after him for his crimes. He will not go silently into the night. He has chosen McCarthy and the insurrectionists in the Congress to defend him in this battle.

(59,504 posts)The longer time likely means they systematically went through each room checking all papers. The last thing you want was a short investigation that did not check everywhere.
Consider your own home, especially if you lived there a long time and if you had stuff come from packing up personal stuff from past jobs. I know how hard it was to go through junk accumulated over 25 years when we moved. It is long hard work to go through EVERY file of papers. I suspect we had a fraction of the papers that a Senator, VP, President has. Add that he seems likely to save things like cards and letters.
