As agents rifle through these documents, they’ll clearly be looking for a violation of the thousands upon thousands of pages of federal laws that no single individual or even legal team can possibly keep up and comply with. It’s been written that all of us are in violation of some sort of law that would make us a felon if the right person found the right piece of evidence at the wrong time. Millions probably break laws every day without even knowing it or intending to do so. Such are the consequences of a system that churns out more laws than anyone can keep up with, then selectively enforces those laws on the political enemies of those in power.
