The F.B.I. convince a judge that it had probable cause that a crime had been committed, page-284

"Patel would be an uncontested corroborating witness re the classified nature of the docs"

'Mr Patel...please tell us the exact day and time you supposedly witnessed the supposed declassification.....and the specific documents that were supposedly declassified in your direct sight......and remember.... you are under oath... with penalty for perjury'.
