Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly, without fear or favor. Under my watch, that is precisely what the Justice Department is doing. All Americans are entitled to the even-handed application of the law, to due process of the law, and to the presumption of innocence. First, I personally approve the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. Second, the Department does not take such a decision lightly. Where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken. Ultimately, I think he's going to be sorry he said that he personally reviewed this warrant because, you know, we're talking a lot about the classified information aspect of it. This warrant is so open-ended and it so defies the Fourth Amendment's requirement that a warrant specifically describes the things that the agents are allowed to seize. This is a general warrant. This is basically what we have the Fourth Amendment to prevent. I mean, you just mentioned before, every shred of paper that was generated by the Trump Administration can be collected under this warrant. It doesn't have to have an iota of connection to classified information or classified intelligence. And I'm glad that you brought that up. I just want to read part of the Fourth Amendment for everybody. If people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, no warrant shall issue, but upon probable cause supported by oath or affirmation and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized. Now, they did unseal the warrant.
