this is what was said by one person who is a guest said ... not CNN
During CNN’s "At This Hour with Kate Bolduan" on Wednesday, the host spoke to legal analyst Paul Callan, who expressed hope that the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI have something more serious on Trump than currents reports indicate, otherwise their raid on Trump’s massive West Palm Beach residence went too far.
Bolduan prompted Callan by bringing up speculation that the federal government conducted the raid to seize classified documents retained by the former president that he was not authorized to have after leaving the White House.

Marc Elias mused on Twitter Tuesday evening, Trump may have violated the Presidential Records Act of 1978, prompting the raid, and an ensuing investigation which could bar him from running for political office in the future.
Bolduan asked, "If this becomes a Presidential Records Act violation, not more, do you think it’s enough to warrant all this?" Callan responded that it’s not.
"No, it’s not enough to warrant all this," the legal analyst declared, adding, "And this is a daring and dangerous move by the
Department of Justice, to serve a warrant on a former president and raid his personal residence."
Callan inferred that for the government to go this far, there must be "something more" than Trump merely holding onto classified documents after his term. "So, I have to think that the Department of Justice must have something more than an argument about what kind of records have to be saved for a presidential library or the Library of Congress at some future date."
"There’s more to this than meets the eye," Callan continued, adding, "And I have to think that there’s something a lot more serious that they think is being withheld from the presidential collection." this is an opinion of a guest on CNN not CNN ... get it bright!!!
