A copy of the search warrant is always left at the place the warrant is executed for the owner (in this case the homeowner). It's not handed off to a lawyer, it goes to the person being served and if they're not physically there, it's left for them, along with an inventory receipt that describes what was taken from executing the search warrant.
The procedure is detailed in U.S. Federal Search & Seizure, Rule 41, Part C.
The law is the law, even though you hate it. So I'm sure they will at one point.
Bring it, then. I doubt seriously that will come up as an objection, considering Trump is still sitting on his copy of the warrant. If there had been anything in it to create any questions about why it existed, he would be putting it up on billboards and plastering it across the right wing media.
The point is that it will be inadmissable as evidence in a court of law because it was obtained under an invalid warrant. There is no enforcement mechanism in the PRA. As such, neither the FBI nor any other federal law enforcement agency has the legal authority to enforce it. Read the Yale Law article to which I posted a link. It explains all of this.
We were talking about if they find other evidence for a different crime that might be found in the course of a search. Nothing to do with the PRA.
Added. Like when a cop stops someone for speeding and finds illegal drugs in the car. He can arrest the person for drug possession.
What a happy thought, a guy who would not sit through any foreign policy briefing - or any briefing, for that matter - as bereft of understanding as a person could be, had the unilateral power to tell all the state secrets to the world, via declassification. All the more reason to vote every Trump enabler out of office, and find a competent candidate for 2024.
Yet there were NO military conflicts instigated by Trump, and in fact the world was more peaceful then. Think very carefully about that.

*IF* the Democrats are obeying the law.
With their record, there's less than a 50% chance they did.
I have heard several reports that the raiders showed one of Trump's lawyers the warrant at Mar-a-Lago, but did not let them keep a copy.
