Trump attorneys haven't found classified document former president referred to on tape

41. That's the "problem" with the Fourth Amendment

you have to narrow down where you plan to look and what you are looking for. For example, what was originally listed in the MAL search warrant (pg 3 at the link) - https://embed.documentcloud.org/documents/22131380-trump-warrant-uns/?title=1&embed=1

ATTACHMENT A

Property to be searched

“The premises to be searched, 1100'S Ocean Blvd, Palm Beach, FI. 33480, is further described as a resort, club, and residence located near the intersection of Southern Blvd and S Ocean Bid. It is described as a mansion with approximately 58 bedrooms, 33 bathrooms, on a 17-acre estate. The locations to be searched include the “45 Office,” all storage rooms, and all other rooms or areas within the premises used or available to be used by FPOTUS and his staff and in which boxes or documents could be stored, including all structures or buildings on the estate. It does not include areas currently (i.c., at the time of the search) being occupied, rented. or used by third parties (such as Mar-a-Largo Members) and not otherwise used or available to be used by FPOTUS and his staff, such as private guest suites.

They would need some kind of layout of Bedminster to determine where they think things may be kept (and what). Having an "insider" (Bedminster employee willing to cooperate) would be helpful.

So again for example, from the MAL document, the items to seized were shown as this (same link as above but pg 4) -

ATTACHMENT B

Property to be seized

All physical documents and records constituting evidence, contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 793, 2071, or 1519, including the following

a. Any physical documents with classification markings, along with any containers/boxes (including any other contents) in which such documents are located, as well as any other containers/boxes that are collectively stored or found together with the aforementioned documents and containers/boxes;

b.. Information, including communications in any form, regarding the retrieval, storage, or transmission of national defense information or classified material;

c. Any government and/or Presidential Records created between January 20, 2017, and January 20, 2021; or

d. Any evidence of the knowing alteration, destruction, or concealment of any government and/or Presidential Records, or of any documents with classification markings

The problem is that they might not know "all" of what is missing if there were that many items from DOD (which usually does the classified markings). When you had security people "installed" by 45 who forced through Top Secret clearances to criminals like Kushner and Patel, then who knows what the heck they took and whether any of them followed any semblance of procedures. DOD might still be going through what was registered and chain of custody - but that would have to be done for stuff over the period of 4 years.
