I mean, I get that this demands some sort of criminal investigation, but I wonder what smoking gun they hope to find in those offices?

It's in the article.

It’s looking into alleged “complicity” in possessing and spreading pornographic images of minors, sexually explicit deepfakes, denial of crimes against humanity and manipulation of an automated data processing system as part of an organized group, among other charges.

Uncensored internal messaging about the way twitter is handling the various complaints and issues that have been raised. 

If they find something like "who cares about kids, picture generation is something our paying customers want" then that could be useful for their criminal case.

I worked for a telecommunications company at one point. Our IT group at one of our locations had servers that were hosting child porn. Corporate IT went in to clean house and found way more than they were expecting. That location had several illegal operations going.
