Even non-political things of all stripes don't necessarily "leap immediately". There's no obvious "hostage situation" sort of thing, and if there's any sort of RICO/larger-than-one-crime thing going on, the choice of "now" or "tomorrow" is always a thing.

The Feds FREQUENTLY seize evidence and worry about "fruits of the poisonous tree" later. If those machines contain code which is incriminating, regardless of how it's obtained, it will resonate with the courts (SCOTUS). You can't un-ring a bell.
The longer the wait to look at machines, the longer they have to replace incriminating code (if it exists).
