'Full cooperation'

It took more than six weeks after the initial discovery at the Penn Biden Center for the president’s personal attorneys to search the Wilmington home the first time in December and another three weeks after that before they searched his house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

Etc. And earlier in the article,
For its part, the Justice Department had decided it would conduct the latest search – and any subsequent searches – after Biden’s team handled earlier searches themselves. Federal investigators also were prepared to seek a warrant if they did not get consent to search the Wilmington property, according to multiple sources.

The Justice Department, however, never raised the possibility of a warrant during the recent discussions, according to a law enforcement source, even though the possibility loomed if Biden’s team didn’t cooperate.

“You want to have people looking at things, know what to look for. Attorneys don’t collect evidence – that would be FBI. Whoever’s getting this info would have to have clearance,” one source familiar with the investigation told CNN, referring to previous searches by Biden’s lawyers.

My, isn't that all wonderful and cooperative?  And no agents in armor walking around with weapons openly displayed, like in that other search?

Garland defended the Justice Department’s approach to the document investigations on Monday. “The department has a set of norms and practices that have been a part of our DNA” since the Watergate era, Garland said. “These are essential for us to continue to ensure that we adhere to the rule of law.”
Snork.   Hehehehehe...
