"Show us the affidavit" is their "stop the steal" gambit.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

Their argument is: No matter who the source of the information was, what they said was a lie, and even if it was not a lie they broke several laws by telling the FBI what they knew, because, well, Donald Trump. Therefore the warrant was illegally issued and the search was illegal. Anything the FBI removed was illegally obtained and cannot be used as evidence. In fact, the boxes were stolen from the President (sic). STOP THE STEAL!!!

1. Added bonus: actually releasing the affidavit would compromise the investigation/prosecution

Other than being extremely stupid, purposely obtuse, and thereby would be embarrassing for normal human beings, it's a win-win position they've constructed for themselves.

2. My guess is they would not like seeing the affidavit

even if the could which they cannot. The affidavit is the DOJ'S case against the orange wonder.

3. It's the birth certificate crap all over again.

These idiots are too lazy to even come up with a new scheme.

4. Next: "Show us your closing argument!"
