Normally in a public corruption investigation these types of records are obtained by Grand Jury Subpoena (along with bank records, phone records and other written records). If subpoened the contents cannot be shared because of Rule 6e which limits disclosure to the investigative team. Violation of rule 6e carries criminal consequences. The results of a search warrant are not protected. This could be an effort to identify those people who should be audited by the IRS.
