The article discusses several persons' thoughts about the timing of the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lardo; that DOJ's thinking was to avoid a storm of denunciations by performing the raid while El Lardo was absent from his pen.
It's weak, opinion-filled - a typical Newsweek piece for these days.

Huh, I wonder what he was doing with those in his private house.

Calling the attempt to downplay the search a "spectacular failure" implies there was some other way in which they could have acted without hysterical reactions from Trump and the GOP. Was there any way this pearl clutching could have been avoided? I very much doubt it.

I believe the Russians have some ideas on what he could do with them.
Yes. Any number of scenarios there. He still owes them money, payment for the 2016 election or the coming 2024 election, his kneeling for Putin, etc...

Or the Saudis.
Yes. $2 billion to Jared, a means to control Iran? I'm not sure on the whys of this one but selling nuclear secrets to the Saudis who were the financiers of 9/11 and were just at Mar-A-Lago is about on par with what I would expect of Trump.

Even if we were to assume that Trump would not sell our secrets, Mar-A-Lago is an entirely unprotected site frequented by spies and other nefarious characters.

The man is going to be the downfall of not just the United States, as we assumed, but possibly the entire world.

Just the first few paragraph's available before the subscription firewall goes up, but it's enough!

FBI agents who searched former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home Monday removed 11 sets of classified documents, including some marked as top secret and meant to be only available in special government facilities, according to documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

As Friday wears on, the news for former President Donald Trump is getting worse. The search warrant and related documents detailing Monday’s raid on Mar-a-Lago showed that the FBI “removed 11 sets of classified documents, including some marked as top secret and meant to be only available in special government facilities,” the Wall Street Journal reported.
Among the approximately 20 boxes of documents confiscated by the FBI were papers described as “‘Various classified/TS/SCI documents,’ an abbreviation that refers to top-secret/sensitive compartmented information,” the Journal wrote. “It also says agents collected four sets of top secret documents, three sets of secret documents, and three sets of confidential documents.” The contents also included information on the “President of France.” The warrant revealed that Trump is under investigation for violating multiple federal laws, including the Espionage Act. As the New York Times reported Friday afternoon:

The search warrant for Trump’s residence cited three criminal laws, all from Title 18 of the United States Code. Section 793, better known as the Espionage Act, which covers the unlawful retention of defense-related information that could harm the United States or aid a foreign adversary; Section 1519, which covers destroying or concealing documents to obstruct government investigations or administrative proceedings; and Section 2071, which covers the unlawful removal of government records. Notably, none of those laws turn on whether information was deemed to be unclassified.

The article cites the Presidential Records act as the catalyst for the warrant, which it points out is difficult to enforce. However the warrant has been released, and it cites the Espionage Act as well as Obstruction of Justice. Those are far more serious crimes which are enforceable.
