This May 14th order by a US District Court Judge is simply the release of the search and seizure warrant and its Attachment A.
It is not the release of the evidence discovered by the search warrant. The warrant is typically authorized by the judge or magistrate based upon an affidavit (Attachment A) establishing probable cause to search a person or item or premises. We don't even know which. Presumably it is seeking to search for Weiner's computers and the contents.
Remember, insofar as press releases are accurate, the FBI was unaware of the " insurance " files until after executing the warrant. I hope the application for a warrant was broad enough to include evidence of other pedophile crimes besides the sexting of a certain young lady. If evidence of other crimes surface during a valid search, it can serve as a basis for additional charges.
We are all sitting on pins and needles waiting for this document which will generate more efforts to get to the evidence itself, I know I am.
Alas, Im not sure I can figure out how to post, on a cell phone. that's why I'm always a commentator. Don't I have to earn the right to post? I have no objection to someone else posting so long as Im given credit.

Just switch to 'desktop view', then you should see the sidebar, and be able to click 'Discuss', and a submission sheet will show.
In order to post, users will have to accrue 10 CCP; you have already 68. :-)
I think nobody here has your expertise, so I would like to encourage you to post, if you should have the time.
Thank you! :-)
