Legal Definition of a Stale Search Warrant .... Should law enforcement wait too long after issuance of a search warrant to make the actual search, the warrant may become stale. Defendants may challenge a stale search warrant as insufficient to show probable cause; a successful challenge of this kind will render the evidence seized inadmissible in court.......https://legalbeagle.com/6552269-legal-definition-stale-search-warrant.html
Stale Search Warrants: “Probable cause, with time, dissipates” .... In a recent SC Supreme Court case, State v. Simmons, the court analyzed a search warrant for a computer in regards to child pornography. The “supporting affidavit was based on information from November 2013” and the search warrant was obtained June 2014 (seven months later).....https://www.everydayevidence.org/post/stale-search-warrants-probable-cause-with-time-dissipates
Tucker v. Florida – Stale Information in a Search Warrant .... In a criminal investigation, if law enforcement waits too long following the issuance of a search warrant to make an actual search or if they wait to long to act on certain information pertaining to a criminal act, the warrant or information could be deemed “stale.”
That means even if the warrant was valid or the information was sufficient to establish probable cause, a defendant may challenge this evidence if the delay was unreasonable, and therefore no longer supported by probable cause.
Most courts agree that warrants are stale 10 days after they are issued, but there are often subjective factors the court may consider.

And the 'staleness' doesn't apply to the signing of a search warrant, it also applies to the information contained in the affidavit and when the warrant was drafted. If the "documents" sought were so vital to the national interest and to the security of the United States, then why wait? Forget about the 18 months. Forget about the fact that they knew what was there and advised the President to put another lock on the SCIF or safe, which he complied with. Why wait for weeks?
We'll never know because, once again, the Keystone Cops are at it again and they have no idea what they're doing.
Trump is alleged to have had weapons of mass destruction in his house - yet it took Garland two weeks to decide to protect the nation from a nuclear threat?
Something doesn’t add up.
The strategerists have been working from a list about 10 pages long for 7 years. Action-items roll out every week throughout that duration. They’ve been timed especially to coincide with bad news for the dimowits. This magnum opus followed immediately after DJT’s magnificent showing in AZ. That was a signal event in this midterm cycle, showing the real President’s real strength. So they tried to nuke him this time.
They bit the shark, as we’re going to see day by day.
It was just SO urgent.
He waited weeks because it had to be coordinated with Trump, the AG, Wray, Congress, POTUS, and certain pro Trump media pundits all being out of town. It took a supercomputer at NSA to come up with just the right time.
In short, the DoJ is going about the Reinhard Heydrich/Heinrich Himmler method of “creating evidence.” 🤦♂️😒😑🙄
He had to get the timing right for the midterm elections. He did not want to jumpp too early and have the affect to wear off before the election.
Last Monday Congress was out of session until September 6th, so no investigative committee can be convened for nearly a month at least. Also, there is a convention or a law (not sure which) that prohibits interference with the conduct of elections 90 days before an election occurs. August 8 was 91 days before midterms. The affidavit on which the warrant was based is “secret,” and nobody can compel Garland to reveal it, at least for quite awhile, as far as I understand. The search warrant is overly broad, but still did not appear to suggest they could search anywhere on the premises. The safe required, according to one of the legal experts, a separate warrant, but was broken into, anyway. The date of the search is the most favorable date they could get, politically. But we don’t know if its political, right?
If the search was approved for last week, that must mean that it sets in motion a series of events that will culminate just in time for the mid-term election for maximum effect for Democrats.

Obviously, they were waiting to see how much clout Trump had over the primaries. They saw the writing on the wall, which isn’t good for them in November, so they struck to bring him down. Totally political move which will hopefully backfire on them BIG TIME!
He waited until the blowout AZ primary.
Nope. It took weeks for Garland to shop the right judge.
