What makes you think they didn't care about the medical records? Because they weren't listed in the search warrant?

I wonder who gained access to this data after it was seized?

What political party hack would not want access to "psychological counseling, gynecological counseling, sexual/drug treatment and other medical treatment data" of current or future political figures?

Because HSA and FSA contributions & expenses are reportable.

Right: If my tax-deductible Health Savings Account money is actually going to get me "stress-related therapy" in the form of a hand job, the IRS wants to know.

And probably more than they usually want to know about these things.
